Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

After a few days of living with the angry couple(?). And is still confuse if they're really husband and wife with having that kind of relationship. Everyday Insults and physical abuse.

Nemitz been never felt awkward his entire life. Doesn't even know if he should intervene since he's just a stranger in this house of madness, He was named "stray rat" according to Meridith who nurse him to health. A "useless bumpkin" according to jackass Jacob who actually saved him and brought him in this "hellhole".

Well, not knowing about the place his stranded in. And saying he lives in some country that's never been heard of, with metals that fly and runs is just simply ridiculous, thinking he's just a braggart or simply one of those occultist, creating some fantasy world how it was like a few thousand years ago. That man soar the skies and even went to space. It's all utter bullsh*t is what it is.

Well, at least he got a bit of information after that degrading conversation. This year is not 2021 AD. But year 605 NW/New World. Recounting the year after every time someone or something brought an apocalypse to the world. How this all started? According to the duo, it was after the 3rd World War or the First Nuclear War. What year? Nobody gives a f*ck.

~How the hell did I time travel?! This is so f*cking random! And what's with this after apocalypse scenario?!

Sighing, Nemitz doesn't know what to feel about his current situation. What's for sure is he's family is in deep shit. They use the last of their wealth for him to get that diploma. And having a high paying job just a few months after graduating. They finally have hope for their family of a brighter future. Waiting for those paper to be delivered in bank accounts. After a few months working and here he is. Back to zero. And definitely no chance of continued money making.

~Sorry mom, sorry dad. I'm sorry for your sacrifices of sending me to school. I don't know if there's a way for me to come back. Furthermore, I just hope those few months of salary would be enough for my sister's education. *sob sob

Hearing the crying of the man child again. Jacob can't help but be irritated.

"What's wrong with you now?! Come on, I just saved your ass just a couple of days ago. But you crying every f*cking hour of every f*cking day is just… argh! If you don't quit that shit, I don't care about your predicament. I'll throw you out!"

"Ha! That's funny. Why don't you throw yourself out if you don't like the stray rat you picked making noise! You f*cking monster!"

Meredith sitting back up in the corner near their fireplace, shouting profanities with every pain she felt. Having just recovered from the usual beating of her "husband". Hands almost bleeding from clenching too hard. The hatred in her eyes for the man in front of her. If looks could kill. He would have died a thousand times already.

Looking in the corner of his eye. Jacob just smirked, proud of his handiwork. Licking his lips like a sexual deviant. "Oh shut up already. Are you now a masochist? I mean I like having that kind of fun, But I'm tired. Why don't you come here and be a good wife and suck my d*ck? I might even reward you if you could satisfy me".

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, where Nemitz is having an existential crisis. Finally, calmed down. After all, crying helps in releasing frustration. It releases endorphins called oxytocin which calm your nerves or well-being. At least that's his excuse for wailing like a pig to be slaughtered.

Releasing a sigh. Thinking his situation "calmly".

"I've been doing this a lot lately. Crying and Sighing. I just feel tired man."

*sigh

Hearing nothing outside. No shouting of insults and body crashing or furniture flying.

~uhmm., guess the mad couple finished their daily quota of killing each other. Is this the new norm?

*knock knock

Interrupting of him finding enlightenment of the mysteries of conjugality.

"Hey, bumpkin get out! I need to piss!"

Getting out of the bathroom, Nemitz side step Jacob. Seeing the bumpkin moving slowly and is still irritated at his wife. Jacob grasp Nemitz neck and just threw him out and closed the door with a slam.

Not expecting what happened. Nemitz just got that blank look on his face. Didn't understand what just happened. Grinding his teeth in frustration.

~I need to get out of here. I'm grateful to him for saving my life, but it doesn't mean I'm a damn pushover. Who does he think he is?!

"Hey bumpkin! This week you'll come with me. We're going to town. So eat well, alright? You gotta need to fatten up. Hahaha!"

Hearing Jacob, Nemitz got excited of finally getting out of here.

~But what's with the need to fatten up?

Feeling apprehensive. Nemitz wanted to clarify what Jacob meant.

As he was standing up.

Nemitz can't help looking at Meredith's way. Feeling guilty that even his few days of staying here. Not once did he help her; even with her hurtful words biting at him at every turn. He's indebted to her for nursing him back to health. Without her, even after Jacob saved him. He might still be in bed. Sick.

Guilt weighing on him. Nemitz couldn't help but think.

~How do I help her escape from this scumbag?
