Chapter 8 - Coma dust

"You lied to me! For the sake of escaping I kept quiet. Your brother doesn't know what's up. He doesn't know that you've just released me." Comadust says.

"I understand but you can't tell him what I was doing. He would be upset if he found out. You can let me go!" Pleads Chris.

"I'm really supposed to kill my victims but before I do that, we have the time. What did you come back here for? You knew you set me free when you lied but you skipped school today. Why?" Says Comadust even though he knows the answer.

"Because I started this, I figured nothing good could come of it, you would be after me anyway, since I alone broke the rules."

"Wow! And now your quite considerate considering what it is you and I know. You're not that considerate." Comadust taunts guilty Chris.

"What do you mean?" Chris asks while playing dumb.

"Don't act like you don't know what I know." Says Comadust.

"If you mean that I had been keeping track of my brother making his invention." Chris says.

"You and I aren't too different." Says Comadust.

"No im nothing like you, we are different." Chris replies back in rejection.

"How so? You backstab, I decieve. We're not that different." Comadust says with a slight chuckle.

"How about I tell you my story first, before I kill you. I'll tell you what happened to me." Comadust continues.

"Ugh why?" Chris Sighs.

"You are in no position to upset me!" Says an angry Comadust.

"Fine, whatever, tell your story just because you want to." Says an annoyed Chris.

"Hmm, I will. My story starts off, I was a conductor on a train a long time ago. Well first off my real name is Hugo Rena. I was just simply a conductor on a train. One day I went on a train to a city named coldgold city, it was named after a major gold rush in the west, then the city had been abandoned. I never understood why we were assigned to go there. Also don't look at this story as tragic, this story is the beginning of me, a new me, the best me. We had been assigned to go to coldgold to receive a shipment. Late that night, my co worker and I had taken a break, so we found some place to sleep for the night. We slept on the train, I got up to use the restroom, I went right to the back of the train, to one of the back units. I found someone, who I didn't know, was back there. It was a businessman but I don't see how and why someone would be in the back of a train in the outskirts of the desert, at 2am. Unless you worked on a train. This man, who I did not know, introduced me to a thing called technology, it had a bright flash of green and he seemed to control it in a drastic way. If I skip a piece of the story, he grabbed my face and he stuck my head into his device. I saw very horrific things from a simple glimpse. The vision I saw eventually dawned on me, I had been to soft of a man, I had to toughen up." Comadust telling a story he remembers.

"The vision you saw is the result of who you are today?" Chris asks.

"That is exactly correct, so over the next week after that, I decided to become a rage monster, a killing machine, so I will be prepared for what is to come. The vision or the secret should I say of what I saw would never be known to anyone but myself and the very man who shown me these things. One specific day I had been back to work on the train after that, everyone and everything that day made me angry, I figured I have nothing to lose and no one truly does in this life. I'll fix their problem for them. To my surprise they devoured themselves, fear consumed the better of them and they each killing the next until not but only 4 people are left." Comadust says.

"How did you get away? Or end up in a game?" Asks Chris.

"This is not actually a game, but a prison. The train eventually crashed and I had still been on, I found myself not dead but I woke up a few days later after a coma and that man had captured me. He threw me into his computer device and told me my new identity was Comadust for his own entertainment video game, up until that point, I never heard of this so called video game." Says Comadust.

"He put you in the game because you had become a deranged killing machine?" Chris guesses.

"The thing about it is, I became happy, when killing, I liked it. I don't discriminate, that is the difference between you and I. You attack your brother, I attack all others." Says Comadust.

"I just wish him to be gone, he wouldn't come to any harm. When my brother opens his time travel device I will push him through, and he will be gone. Never to be seen or heard from again. He should be such an expert, I mean, he invented it." Says an envious sarcastic Chris.

Comadust rushes over in Chris's face and threatens him.

"You! I can promise that you will agree to trade places with me today." Says Comadust.
