Chapter 21 - My Welcoming

Reggie rockwitz

At 5:00 am my phone alarm buzzed,

As I opened my eyes found the new surroundings first creeped me out with a jerk, I wanted to know where the bathroom was, as I need to get rid of evidence I had on my body from last night.I called Mayo, and she didn't answer, I decided to look for it on my own. When I got downstairs I saw mayo's mom doing live exercises on a zoom meeting, people do all kinds of useless shit when they don't have a purpose. She looked at me with a pissed-off expression.

"I would like you to leave my house right now"That hurt, what had I done to her? I was always unwanted and didn't matter anywhere I go. It was dark outside, I left her house and saw a creepy cat staring at me the very same way,

I'm done with this nonsense; I wanted a hot spring bath, and I'm wondering whether one is still available in our tiny town; I looked but didn't find any. There was a little pond in Gastovik that had been there for centuries. I ordered an uber, and when he dropped me off in an unfamiliar uninhabited location at daybreak, the cab driver became suspicious.

Continued heading into the woods, guided by the light of the torch. The temperature was frigid, howling noises filled the woodland, and a group of wolves lurked nearby, ready to strike for a hearty meal. Thoughts of them tearing my flesh and bones hovered in my brain. My foots finally slippery because of the algae which gave me the idea that the pond is nearby.

Found it, and the pond was turned into a massive lake, it also grew along with me. Doubts were incoming as if it was the same, that I used to visit with my family peeps. Pants unzipped, underpants roughly evicted with T-shirt, took a huge leap running from the back and submerged me in the dark chilled creepy lake.

My body began to sink inside it was too deep, as it was dark, and my eyes were unable to comprehend the depth or the surroundings, and the torch was on the backside of the rocky surface. Water filled my throat and nose guess this was my final minute.

The discipline kicked in, brought my body together, closed the breathing, and moved all the way to hit the surface of the lake. I still had hope, pushed the bottom surface hard to get upward momentum, lots of woody branches of vine touched my hands, I gripped it tight and used a High amount of muscle strength, and gripped my second hand too.

I splashed open to the surface and heaved a sigh with wheezing, came near to the rocky surface by pulling the vines, and got out before frostbite can engulf me. Ran out of breath, I drank the water of the lake itself for hydration. A car would be so convenient for wandering all around.

Memories of last night with miyoko flashed before my eyes a strange feeling I never experienced before that flowed like blood in every vein and capillary in the body.

Greenpale was around 6 km from here, sometimes jogging can warm a living body and beat the cold. Plucked out some big leaves and wiped my body, wondering which leaves Tarzan used to wipe his butt off. I was so jealous of him in childhood, he didn't even know anything about other humans, societies, science technology, and all that crap but still licked a super hot chick.

Kept running for 40 seconds and already ran out of breath so decided to walk way out. As I made my way through the wooded path, I heard the distant sound of a vehicle engine. Shivers rushed down my spine when it came to a complete halt absolutely parallel. No more Gawd!!, no more.

"Stay where you are, put your hands around your head".

A cop got out of the car, his skin was so white and pink like Europeans, I doubt he belonged here,

"There's nothing sir, except a torch and cell phone".

"What are you doing here in the dark alone in the woods."

"I went to dispose of a dead body sir,"

He maintained a frowned expression." Common sir, I just left nearby and got out for a jog, then found a lake and thought of having a manly shower".

"Manly shower?" He asked surprisingly

"Yeah, it helps you to increase your discipline and focus cause if you learned to keep cool even in the harshest environments, then you are capable of handling any sort of trouble at your fingertips."

He curved his lips downwards and nodded in amazement.

"Can you drop me in the city?"I said

"Weren't you jogging your way and Returning the same way."

"Too much running for a day, I overran".

After yesterday night, Now I was hitched in a cop vehicle.

"Where did you land here from? Sweden? Denmark? Or Vienna? That kind of place?

"Yeah one of that kind," he said while smiling

"a witty answer."

"Do you eat talcum powder for dinner or what? You're glowing like a light bulb".

He giggled softly and started throwing random words which came into my mouth to continue a one-sided conversation.

I told him about Tarzan, how that ugly piece of shit got a fair pink coochie, and I lived my 24 years jerkin off to Jennifer Lawrence and Olsen.

He gave out a big laugh. Damn his voice is too hoarse and loud."You're too good at talking mate". He said

"You know last night when finally after 24 years, I was about to dig my claws inside of her, she slapped my arms off and said don't touch it, it's dirty, she was on her monthly cycles."

"Hell Naa !" He said

"And women's breasts aren't as soft as I used to imagine them, like water balloons, its more like air-filled plastic bags, which reached out its squeezing limit at a certain point."

"Right, that's so relatable,"

"Do you have a wife or do you just bang random chicks around?" I inquired.

"Both," he answered, laughing loudly enough to pierce the center of my ears.

"you, nasty fella,"

He's also rather amusing."My wife had a birthday last week and we arranged a house party, it went well, a lot of peeps from all over the town came when everything thing came to an end.

I said to her, The real present is awaiting, this filled her with a lot of joy and excitement, first, I closed her eyes and took her to the kitchen and when I opened her eyes she saw a huge amount of dishes overloading the sink. Hahaha"

I laughed my maniac laughter till I wheezed, It looks like a prank that 50-year-old dads would pull on their wives."Did she get mad at you.?"

"Of course, then I designed a modular kitchen at home so that she never would have to wash the dishes."

"You're sweet," I said giving a soft punch in his arms. Why was I getting so comfortable around a cop, I got carried away again. I brought my discipline back and remain quiet.

"So you're in a university or what?"

"Not everyone gets a simple fortune mister, some are just born to suffer all their disgusting life."

I was about to add my philosophy statements that our world is a stack of utmost inequalities but I stopped then and there to resist giving any additional information about me or my thoughts.

I told him to drop me off again 3 streets before the office, at the same random apartment as yesterday. Then I went running towards the office, I saw a Volvo, a Porsche, and 2 police vehicles which already gave me scary vibes as I went inside.

Mr. Wiran pointed a finger at me and said he was the one 'Reggie'. What? Did he betray? And told the police bout it?

"You ugly piece of shit, I knew you would do something like this, miyoko I expected better from you at least. Snitches".

Two officers grabbed my arms so and took them back so hard, I felt them getting dislocated. I'm not that weak I said to myself, none of these pieces of shit can land a scratch on me.

"I just want to ask you Miyako? This was all it? I thought we liked each other, it's right the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

They dragged me like the way lions do after killing an impala.
