✻ Have you said the eye of the devil?
Yes I mean no, wait, please...
[Eye of the devil acquired]
But, but my shark tornadooooo!
(cries in his hands)
As he finishes sobbing his wishes away. He notices that his vision had significantly improved.
Ohhh my eyesight is back to normal! Actually, I am not sure this can be considered normal, this is incredible!
[Eye of the devil rank unspecified]
✻ The eye grants power to evil. May the path towards the shadow realm...
'Ahh shut up, will you? Just tell me the perks and let's get this over with.'
✻ Tsss.
[The eye of the devil grants you: night vision, long-range vision & 180° vision]
I just hope that last one doesn't make me look like a chameleon. I mean it's useful, but there needs to be a limit to my ugliness.
'Right, Alexa?'
✻ For Copywrite purposes, you will now be forced to a second into the abyss every time you call me by that name.
'Ok then, how about I call you… Siri?'
✻ Listen here you little shit.
For the second time in his life, he experienced what one could describe as hell. The second in the abyss was so long it brought his miserable performances in bed to shame.
'Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrg!'
'Fuck! I think your timer is broken Ale…'
'Ale…'
'Alele?'
✻ Notice: my name is Sophia. Further notice: The system is always right.
Dammm, now she's really starting to sound like my wife.
Which makes me wonder how she's doing? Hopefully, she doesn't think I am dead! The last thing I remember, she told me to go buy milk at the grocery for dinner with her parents. On second thought, maybe it's better if I am dead after all. I mean, didn't a wise man once say that the path to freedom lies within one's ability to fake his own death?
Now let's get out of here before she comes searching for me. If there's one thing that I know. It's that if she ever finds out I was late without a good reason (dying). I'd prefer facing the abyss than her wrath.
On that thought, he immediately started his escape. Climbing the rubble and evacuating by the giant hole in the wall left behind from some sort of explosion. As he walked through the hospital he eventually stumbled upon other individuals. Yet they all greeted him with kindness and did not question his looks.
I can't believe they're acting all normal with me. These nurses must be used to seeing some pretty heavy injuries if I don't scare them (Respect to all the hard-working nurses out there).
As the exit finally presented itself to him. One final person was blocking his way…
The receptionist.
I could fight her, but I don't think causing a scene would be to my advantage. Not until I figure out what happened to me. Talking to her can also be risky.
After evaluating his options. He decides to simply try to walk out in a normal matter. Unfortunately for him…
'Hey you,' says the receptionist.
'Me?'
'Yes, I'm sorry to bother you, but may I ask where are you going?'
'Outside?'
'Do you have your hospital card?'
'No, and I don't have money either.'
'Ohhh I see. Well, there is no need to worry about money. This is Canada after all! Enjoy the fresh air and I'll make you a new one on your way back. May I ask you for your name?'
'My name?'
Who am I? What's my name? Darnit! Come on brain, think before she notices something's wrong.
'I am Jack... Jack the ripper.'
'Like the serial killer?'
'No no, I meant Jacques the rapper'
'Ohh I see, have a nice evening Jacques!'
'Thank you.'
Without any hesitation, Jacques walks through the door and into the night. Accompanied by a flickering lamp and slight breeze. He simply couldn't believe it.
'Of all the names I could choose, I seriously ended up with Jacques the rapper!?'
✻ Pwahahahha!
'A shut it Sophia'
✻ ...
Anyhow, I am in Canada! How do they manage to have free health care? Was I also Canadian to begin with?
'Arrrg my head again'
I don't get it, why are some parts of my past so blurry?
I feel, I feel…
dizzy.
Blackout.
