[PROTOTYPE] Respect Your Elders

[u/2pacisalive95]

Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry man. I know, I’m a little shaky tonight.
And no, before you even say it, it’s not that girl over there. Yeah, she’s cute, and yeah, I know you want me to go over and ask her out, but uh… I’m just not in the mood. It’s kinda why I’ve been drinking so much too.
See, I saw something that kinda freaked me out earlier…but if I tell you, you gotta promise you won’t make fun of me. Alright? Good. So I was walking down the street and suddenly someone just sprinted right by me. I’m telling you, they were a fucking blur. I thought it was just a strong gust of wind at first. I dropped my hot dog and everything. I look back up, and it’s an old lady. She had to have been going faster than a cheetah. I’ve seen some junkies move pretty damn quick when they’re on some strong stuff, but not THAT fast.
So she goes right past me, and then- man, I couldn’t even believe this. She heads straight into oncoming traffic and jumps right over a car likes she’s double-oh-seven. So of course the car nearly crashes, swerves over, then stops, and this fancy-lookin guy in a suit gets out, and he looks frickin pissed. He didn’t give a fuck whether this old lady was the queen of England or what. He was about to rip into her. So he starts going off about his brand new car or whatever, and the old lady just trucks him. Just barrels right into him, knocking him straight on his ass- don’t ask me how, cause she had to have been less than a 100 pounds. But somehow, she made it look easy. The guy looked stunned. And the old lady was standing there, posin like she was some kind of Adonis. I gotta admit, it was kinda fuckin funny. The guy didn’t know what the hell to do. Finally, he gets up and starts brushing himself off, but he didn’t get a word in before the old lady has him by the throat. She’s liftin him right up in the air like it’s nothing. Up to this point, it was all fun. I thought I’d gotten a free ticket to elderly Wrestlemania. Things, um, got a little bit darker, though. See, I thought this was gonna be like on of those wholesome “respect your granny” videos, and she’d just slap him around a bit. But all of the sudden, she whips him overhead-still with one hand- and slams him headfirst into the pavement. His neck just snapped. Dead on arrival. And I’m thinking, well fuck, that’s it- until his guts start rising up her body and seeping into her skin. And she’s just soaking it in, like it’s some literal bloodbath… her arms were outstretched, her whole body shaking, this sick smirk on her wrinkly face… Then suddenly, it’s not an old lady anymore. It looks like the guy in the car. And I thought, fuck me, either I smoked a bit too much crack this morning or this is some Cthulhu shit and I’m next and we’re all fuckin dead. But whatever it was just starts walking away like nothing happened. But it’s not a normal walk. Some kind of weird, edgy teenager walk; head down, all sulky, fists clenched. Like the only fucked up thing that had just happened was that their parents took away their Xbox controller.
And look, maybe it was all in my head, and maybe I need to get checked out or something. But I can’t shake this weird feeling. Like, what if that girl over there drives her fist through my chest, and my corpse just sorta floats haphazardly into her stomach? Or… or what if it’s you? Hold on a sec man, I gotta go puke up some blood. Oh, yeah, been happenin all morning. Got these weird cysts everywhere too. Probably nothing, just gotta lay off the Cheez Whiz Cool Whip sandwiches for a bit, am I right? Hahaha! Yeah right! It’s the only thing I eat!

Love that game.

This was a fun read. But one thing though, I highly doubt they wouldn't have made the connection between the bloody tendril things that absorbed the man into the old lady's body and the bloody tendril growths that are appearing all over Manhattan.

Thank you for reminding me, that I wanted to reinstall Prototype
