hruday was sleeping when he heard a swishy, slimy sound like a pouch of water coming towards him He opened his eyes and looked at the incoming creature. It was a red blob, some kind of bloody slimy creature its nerves and organs were visible though its redish semi-transparent body, and before he could react, it attached to his face
like a face hugger and entered into his wounds, terrified as the thing crawled under his skin but he realized this was a dream. The last second he woke up, he thought, did I get this dream because of the thought that I might be infected? Yes, that might be. but why slimy thing?
Then, as he tried to get up, he staggered to the bed. He thought, remembering what he had done, Ahh, sh*t, why did I keep doing it? I was proving myself Ahh, man, that book really did a number on me. I shouldn't have tried to do that Now they think I am infected
Why didn't I think about that? No, I would never get that uncontrollable anger Ah, that's probably a lie Fuck. I have the same disease as my father.
what should I do? Now I won't be able to move freely Ah, my back hurts he looked at himself, covered in bandage patches He felt an ache all over his body He felt extremely thirsty for water he called in his dry voice, water
Mark quickly came, holding water. hruday drank uncomfortably. Michael came in worried and said, I thought you would never wake up
hruday asked, knowing the answer, what do you mean?
Mark said, I think you were a comma or something because we had to remove glass shards by digging in to make sure that no glass particles were there and you didn't react It's been a day since you passed out
Michael said you know people were spreading rumors about you being infected, and we had to tie you up because we couldn't prove it.
Mark said it probably was true, and Michael replied, What? you are like them too?
Mark said no. Based on what you guys noted through the internet, the symptoms are high fever aggression, and uncontrollable salivary secretion He checks all the boxes
Michael said no, it was sleep drooling Mark said even if it is, he still checks 2 boxes
hruday nonchalantly asked for more water this mark little taken back as hruday asked Michael how long do you think i would be strapped like this?
Michael said no; we can convince others if you wear a helmet to unstrap you but... hruday cutting though said if that didn't work, how long do you think I will be strapped for?
i dont know even Hector is strapped right now. The scout leader railed up everyone hruday dude. If my fever is gone and little bit of my wounds is healed, will they let me go?
Michael thought, ya, i guess unless that scout leader cooks up something, hruday asked, how long do you think it will take to heal? Michael said "a week minimum".
hruday thought shit it's too long, Michael nodded in agreement. hruday asked, where is roy? Michael said, Ahh, he is with his father
hruday thought, now that I am like this, that the scout leader will do something What would I do to overthrow him?
as he was thinking, Mark came with a big steel jar that was marked and a white mug that too was marked H by a black marker
hruday asked Mark, can I get some movement space? it's hard to drink while sleeping; you can make a line mark whispered, "No, not now," his eyes hinting about someone's presence
scout leader came "oh hruday my son, are you alright?" hruday said, gritting his teeth "Ah, yes, i feel better" scout leader continued "you were uncontrollable what happened were you unconscious when you acted frenzy when were you bitten please dont lie to us"
"you know how important it is" hruday wanted to scare him but noticing the other people's presence, he sighed and said," i am alright. i was very angry, Towrds, because he had kept our friends death a secret and cursed at me"
but your friend Michael said something else, which he said with an annoying smile Michael signaled that it was a lie hruday said "no way he would lie"
"Could you please not bother us? i feel uncomfortable with you being in my house. i am ashamed of your habits "
scout leader's smile got creepier as he left hruday thought "sh*t, when did he turn into a complete villain?"
"shit i shouldn't have made him scout leader", he thought as he realized what he was up to too. hruday asked," hey Michael, have winners been calculated?"
Michael, "no, I don't know. It might have been ,why?"
hruday quickly asked, "could you please free me? i will wear a helmet You know I am not infected, right? ,i don't want too fall for this bullshit ploy"
Michael asked, "Where do you want to go?" hruday said "i was going to announce the rewards for the winners "
"quickly get the list form Shophia" Michael said "Ah ok" Understanding his intention and went to ask Shopia, only to find that the scout leader had taken it , he quickly went towards the scout leader who was spewing bullshit taking a deep breath he asked
Michael said calmly "Hey, I need to verify the list of winners for the mosquito-killing competition. Could you hand it over?"
Scout Leader with a smirk "Oh, we've checked it twice. Everything is good. We're making arrangements to announce it."
Michael: louder, so others can hear "That's great. But it's important for everyone to see that we're being transparent and fair. As you are a participant and as a leader we need to review it "Scout leader looks around at the nearby survivors.
his mouth twitched as he handed the book over here and commented "Take it I thought hruday was grounded you know"
scout leader was pissed he absolutely didn't wanted to hand this over because this wasn't just a list that could be manipulated to gain some small rewards it was a tool an opportunity to gain power with the right play he could have sidelined hruday taking everything over
scout leader was pissed he thought no need to hurry he will turn anyway I still have more opportunities let them work hard and build it for me because in the end, i am the one who talks with others the most haha he smirked looking at Michael backs
micheal said we are still alive
