Hey there, this is a short story that I made a while ago called
'The Adventure of Steve'
Hope you like the first Part/Chapter!
CHAPTER 1
The lone wolf howled its lonely cry as a single man lay in the dirt, his chest slowly rising and falling in the rhythm of his breathing. A small pig curiously wandered over to where
His body lay; the pig quietly snorted and rubbed its soft nose against the rough linen of his shirt which had been torn at the edge showing blue jeans heavily stained
with dirt. His breathing suddenly quickened, he shuddered and then sprang up hitting the pig first thing in the jaw with his elbow, sending a jarring shot of pain
through the little pig, it whined in protest then shot off behind a tree a couple of meters away from the man still trying to gain his bearings. The man slowly sat back
down rubbing his cheek and feeling a thick stubble covering his face. He thought to himself o How long was I unconscious?o He stopped. Sat back up and looked
around him, o what the-o , he was cut off as a small pink pot belly pig poked its small snout from around the tree and stared at the man sprawled in the dirt.
o Whereo d you come from little guy?o Still trying to get his bearings he inched slowly towards the pig cautiously reaching for the pocket knife in his back pocket as he did.
His hands started searching more frantically, o whereo s my knife?o He thought as he put his hand through the hole in his pocket. o Shoot!o He exclaimed out loud,
The pig, unused to such a loud outburst squealed in fright and bolted down through the forest and away from the man. The man soon realized his dinner was running away
and set off in hot pursuit of the pig. He thought he had lost the pig when he suddenly turned the corner of a rock cliff and came face to face with a tall, slim, black man with
piercing violet eyes swirling with a ghostly energy. He looked down in the creatures arms and saw the small pig wriggling in fear of its scary captor.
Not more than a second after he had seen the man-like creature it had disappeared in a swirl of purple mist, leaving the poor pig in the dirt.
The man, after recovering from the initial shock took one look at the temporarily handicapped pig and grabbed it around its waist holding it in place. The pig screamed and
wailed, fearing for its life, but after a few moments it hung ito s head in defeat and accepted that it was going to die. The man looked in the pigo s saddened eyes and thought
about what the poor animal had been through that night, being chased by a stranger in its home, then being picked up by some mysterious man-like creature, and finally
caught by that same stranger. And as he looked into those eyes he thought o this pig doesno t deserve to die because I just so happened to wake up in its home.o
He slowly let the pig down to the ground and as he did, the pigo s eyes lit up with a new playfulness and joy. He collapsed; exhausted to the soft underfoot and lay there while the pig
licked his dry palms. He slowly cracked one eye open, and tilted his head so he could see the small pink animal joyfully thank him for letting it live. He smiled to himself
and once again closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
CHAPTER 2
The man woke up once more to find himself back where he first appeared in the forest with the pig curled up on his chest. o Howo d I get back here?o The pig, woken up
by the sound of the mano s voice yipped and started licking his face, the man; now with strength from his rest gently pushed the pig off of him and looked around him.
He saw that he was in a dense deciduous forest with thick berry bushes and tall grass surrounding him. The grass was soft and he was able to get into a comfortable
Sitting position so he could stroke the pig and try to remember how heo d gotten here. He looked at the pig, deep in thought and he said o I should probably name you.
Youo re a girl I assume so... howo s Claire?o Claire happily snorted with acceptance. A flash of pain to the mano s head sent him reeling across the floor throwing Claire off of him.
A scene flashed before his eyes as he saw himself in a room with a woman, he was in a turquoise shirt and blue jeans. The woman was wearing a dress with yellow and
blue flowers on it, she had short blonde hair. He heard a crackle of sound, as if from an intercom. He focused harder and could make out him saying to the lady o I promise you
Claire, Io ll be fine!o Then the static grew louder and he had to put his hands over his ears to avoid losing all hearing. Then, he was back in the forest with Claire nudging his arm
with her snout whining softly as if willing him to wake up. He sat up slowly and rubbed her under the neck gently saying o Ito s alright, just a headache.o As if you understand me he
thought to himself. But Claire nodded her understanding then stood up, and started walking into the forest. o Claire!o He shouted and ran after her. After a few meters
he looked around him, all he saw was treeo s, nothing he could recognize as near where he woke up. He heard a rustle in the bushes next to him. He jerked to the side, picking
up a long stick as he did. The rustling became louder as a single blonde haired figure came out of the bushes. The man looked surprised for a moment, then he went up to
the man and simply said. o Ello mate! Now Whereo d you come from eh?o
CHAPTER 3
The man stood there for a second longer then said o co mon, get up now! Haveno t got much time before they come back.o o Who comes back? Who are you? Whereo d you come from?o
Said Claireo s foster father. o Just come on!o said the blonde man, a little shakiness creeping into his voice. The two men headed back a mile or so east, judging by the position of the sun
and into a large clearing in the forest. The treeo s thinned out as they grew nearer to the clearing. o Who are you anyways?o Said the man, o Steveo ¦ My name is Steve.o
The blonde man looked at him out of the corner of his eye and said o Nice name mate, mineo s Jeremy. But everyone calls me Joey.o o Where are we going?o Asked Steve.
o I like to call ito ¦ Home.o Just then they walked into a huge clearing with a rocky outcrop in the center that looked like an oversized sundial. o What IS this?o exclaimed Steve.
o You ask alotta questions donto cha mate?o Joey said with a smile. Steve looked across the clearing and saw a small oak log cottage with thick black smoke coming out of a brick
Chimney. They walked into the house and the first thing they saw was a pink potbelly pig that leapt up into Steveo s arms. o I thought she belonged to someone.o
Said Joey, o He kept looking behind his shoulder as I led him back here to see if he was being followed.o o Her. Claireo s a girl.o Steve said, still looking at Claire.
o Well leto s see if I can get some grub cooked up for the two of you young lovers.o Joey said as he walked into the second room of the cabin that served as a kitchen. o If you dono t
Mind me askin, howo d you get here?o Steve got up from stroking Claire and walked into the kitchen, replying; o Io m not sure I just kind of woke up here in a small clearing some
miles west of here.o o Did it have a large brown rock near the left of where you woke up?o Asked Joey, o I think so, why do you ask?o o Because thato s where I woke up as wello ¦ 3 years
ago.o Steve turned to look at him, o youo ve been here for 3 years?o o Yes, yes I have.o Replied Joey, as he turned back to the furnace. o You built this place?o Asked Steve.
o Didno t take long to be honest, once you learn how to play the game.o o The game?o Inquired Steve. o Yeah, this whole... World I suppose, is just a big game controlled by
Entities of another world. What you call civilization doesno t exist here. Ito s all just a sandbox where everyoneo s a castaway, and we all have to work our way up so they can beat us back
down.o o Who are THEY?o Asked Steve inching closer to Joey. o Theyo re a creature with no soul, they stand 8ft. tall with glowing violet eyes and-o o Wait! Are they pitch black as well?o
Asked Steve, o yeah, howo d you know?o Asked Joey. o I saw one when I waso ¦ Looking for Claire in the forest.o o It didno t attack you?o Joey turned to face Steve. o Nope.o
o Thato s quite unusual-o Joey said. o HISSSSSSSSo a sound came from outside the window. They both turned to look into the black eyes of a camouflaged cactus-like creature
who looked as if It were ready to blow up. o RUN!o shouted Joey who was already diving behind the kitchen counter. Steve picked up Claire and ran behind the couch in a near
single movement, just as an explosion came from the kitchen window. Steveo s ears were ringing. He opened up his eyes and felt the side of his head and they came back bloody
his vision was blurred and he searched around for Claire. He found the familiar soft nose as she wriggled closer to him. He found his voice after a few moments rasping, and screamed o Joey!o No reply.
