Chapter 2 - Pig man

In another world light years away.

"Father why do we need to kill these creatures?" an adolescent boy who was 10 at most asked his father who was tearing off the legs of the orange hopper.

The orange hopper was the size of a baseball, it could jump upto heights of 5 feet, they were the least violent creatures in the area and it's springy legs were a common food.

"Creatures? Boy these are beasts they don't have things such as feelings and the such you don't have to feel guilty about killing them" the father chuckled at his son's innocence as he rubbed his head with those hands stained with blood.

My head hurts. The world is spinning. I didn't drink.

Leptus regains consciousness after what seems after forever.

He lifts the curtains of his eyes and comes into his view two blobs of flesh.

The man who's butt it was turns around and realises that Leptus was awake.

"Look who's finally decided to wake up!", for some reason the man was looking agitated.

Leptus propped himself up slowly and asked a rather idiotic question, "Me?"

"No the wall behind you, OF COURSE YOU!", the still unnamed man yelled stomping his foot on the creaking wooden flooring.

The man had a towering height of 6 foot 1 inches. Had a beard which had a gap at the chin similar to wolverine. And that's where the resemblance came to a halt. He had a beer belly and a slightly chubby face looking as though he was a sack filled with mangoes.

He continued his speech going on to say, " I took you in only because you seemed like a good source of manual labour, but if that manual labour never works what good is he!"

Leptus naturally had no idea what this pig like man was talking about.

Only words Leptus could say in his defence were, "No you".

Where he came from this counter argument would get him the win, but in this case the only prize he got was a kick in the gut which sent him flying off the bed into the wall. This fatso is also like Josh, although he may not look like it he had plenty of strength, how does that even work, biology is unfair.

Fortunately Leptus wasn't hurt as his fat cushioned it all the hits.

Wait fat? As Leptus remembered he had a pretty lean body which he had worked tirelessly a year for. It wasn't what you would call model ready but two abs were starting to show on the top of his abdomen.

Glancing at the dirty cracked mirror which he spotted on his right he found himself looking at an abomination.

Ragged jumpsuit same as, let us call him pig man for now, black eyes and a wheatish complexion. He adorned a look of pure shock as he stared back at pig man and asked, " What have you done to me!"

"Besides take of you for the last 16 years of your life nothing else really, which is why you must make sure to put your heart and soul into making my life comfortable" the pig man said in a very justified way his earlier anger apparently having waned.

Leptus was now sure either one of them was on drugs, and it couldn't be him cause quite frankly he was afraid of not being in control of his body so it had to be pig man.

"Mr pig man I'm afraid we have a misunderstanding between us, but I believe it's nothing we can't solve by talking it out" Leptus decided to take a more diplomatic approach toward this situation.

Unfortunately it was all in vain as he was greeted with a fist in his face, ending yet another chapter in the state of unconsciousness.
