the sleep facility - pt 2.

[wytchcroft]

two:

"What is that, like, a mantra or something?"

Listening down.

Whispers.

"Leachers, Seeders, Feeders, Breeders.” Just whispers, repeating.

“Maybe he’s crazed.”  and the other voices...

“Maybe you hit him too hard.” are louder.


 “Leachers, Seeders, Feeders, Breeders..." and on and on and into the inaudible.

Just whispers from a dry mouthed man on a trolley.

"We should have gagged him anyway."

"Why bother?"

Squealing their way through the twisting corridors, metal wheels on a metal floor.

"Is she awake?"

It's a question. Yes, i think i am awake.

"Think she remembers anything?" Another question.

"Depends I s'pose - how much juice she had in her." Like i'm a - what? Some thing... but i do
remember.

It hurts.

Electrical zigzags - and the thump in my head - and it's like - not friendly, it's like i'm watching. 
i don't want to.

We broke in through a patch on the bottom of the liner. It wasn't a boat, wasn't a ship, it was a cruiser slipped over but intact and bigger than anything i ever saw.

And he said, "This is the one, the Facility, it's in here."

And i thought, maybe he’s right – when you looked at it, as much of it as you could see at one time, well it seemed kind of, i dunno, looked after. Oh sure, rust yand junk but – it was neat, it wasn’t like the others – if you looked. 

i guess no/one did.

i was expecting something... i’m not sure what but i hired this guy - i thought, gadgets, hi tech, things i couldn't know.

Sure.

He broke us in with a knife, some spray, a blunted spoon and a piece of ID card.

The spray was good, after we pulled back the hatch cover - the noise should have given us away but the can made everything slippery, made my nose run.

And then - it's dark,  tunnels and grates until we got to a door, like a real door with electrics and i knew we'd found it.

Jay slipped the card between the scanner and the lock and we were in, walking in the bottom of a barrel, so noisily it made us put our hands to our ears.

"Shoes!"  I said, and my teeth were chattering.

We helped each pull off our boots. We walked quieter bare foot.

But that didn't help - we found another door way over from us across the empty iron and we busted that to - but soon as we were through we were fucked.

Yeah - then i just remember yelling and shouting and struggling against hands and arms and a net, the rope cutting into me and dragging me towards the floor but i was snagged on a wall rail and wouldn't go down.

And Jay. Jay's big and he knew what he was doing and he was armed and there was... blood and I remember him roaring like a monster but then this real nasty sound like crack! and he's down - and another crack! and i'm gone.

"Think she remembers anything?"

"What does it matter - they make it up anyway if they can't."

i would have made up something different, something better. Maybe i still can.

wow I am waiting for the rest of the story!

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

ага! именно так!:)

and thanks for reading:))

hi, you probably dont know me, but im besher's friend. your welcome(for the comments). by the way, septimus severus is an interesting Roman emperor. but, of course, i think almost every famous Roman person is interesting. except Caligula(i dont have to explain myself on that one). also, thanks for the russian articles. anyway the reason why i was pestering our dear friend besher for roman information is because im writing a Roman novel, and i need as much info as i can. but sometimes when i do receive it, the authors dont point it exactly, and/or use fancy elaborate words(that i usually know the meaning of), and manage to disquise the answer by using them. although gathering the information can be almost as difficult sometimes. thats when decide to ask Jennifer about it and see if she knows.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

well, i hope you find what you need - good luck!:))

[mr-stapleton.livejournal.com]

it's great! i read it as a poem, really - the second part even more than the first - those short lines, short-cuts sometimes :) i enjoy it!

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

hey thanks! i was hoping that aspect worked and i wasn't at all sure.

cheers!:))

i also completely agree with you on the Shakespeare comment. a rose by any other name will smell just as sweet. wasnt that in Romeo and Juliet? im sorry if you were confused when i asked if you knew how to speak Russian. its just that when i saw the russian words i thought you were Russian(so so sorry, my mistake). see, i am a former immigrant(im an American citizen now) that came from a country that is close to a large body of water called the Caspian Sea. my country is just south of Russia, and during the Soviet times, it was kind of occupied by the Russians until 1991, and it really wasnt til 2000, i think, that my countrys people started to really speak their native language. naturally i learned Russian as my first language, and my native language(a variation of the Turkish language, i think) was my second language. although i resent the fact that a foreign country's language was my first, i dont hold anyone responsible. my grandmother was a Russian, after all. i just dont like its country's government a lot(or my country's), american and british government is much better and less corrupt. :)

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

LOL! UK Govt is completely corrupt.

[betsycontent.livejournal.com]

unfortunately, all governments are corrupt. the u.s. was especially corrupt under george w. bush, but is hopefully healing a bit under the obama administration.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

plus the man has ninja skills!:))

[leannecassie-27.livejournal.com]

is it really? speaking of UK, i just went and visited England a couple of months ago. it was beautiful. i saw most parts of London, Stratford upon Avon, Windsor, and Cambridge when i was over there.

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

oh those are all great places - there is much to love about my country, as there is in any country.

but governments? well, that is something different. LOL!

[betsycontent.livejournal.com]

need more. plug me in! :)

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

heh heh - thanks!:)))

[recycledfaery.livejournal.com]
