Thread: Trust

The planet was mostly a giant desert, there were a few safe havens, though and it was populated, from what I can tell, and remember it seemed like the planet had a climate like ours but something happened.

landing the ship was tricky it was so damned windy, it reminded me of a little F115, I finaly got it landed managed to be on the edge of the forest, it looked alot more inviting than the desert. There was a river, the way the rocks were arranged it was spraying water into the air and the sunlight was catching it just right, it was even making big bubbles about a foot in diameter, it was beautiful, I busted out my camera and tripod and took a few pictures, I put everything back into my backpack and walked a little ways.

There was a hill in front of me, and some incredibly beautiful houses behind me, all of a sudden just beyond the hill a massive fireworks show started, I could see the american flag flying off to the side too, I thought, well now! this is a welcome!

I walked up the hill, and on just the other side was a natural kind of ampitheater, and there were a few hundred people sitting wathching the fireworks... Im so retarded... a little kid saw me and shouted, Hey!? who is that!

And I panicked, I dont know why, being around people makes me nervous, I just wanted to observe them really, I like to see, but not be a part of when I am on that side, dosent seem to happen though...
So one of them jumped up and came at me, I dont think he was hostile now that I think of it, maybe excited to see somone new.

I ran and I ran out of the damp forest, fell down an embankment onto HOT sand, the wind was wipping, dust was blowing, it was like another world, I looked back and saw the guy up on the hill he was shouting something at me. The division of forest to searing desert was weird as hell, not sure how it worked but I think it had to do with the shape of the land and the wind. I couldent hear him, the wind was a rush in my ears, and there was a weird moaning roar in the distance, his eyes bugged out of his head and he kept yelling, I got up and ran out into the desert, the wind was so strong and hot, it felt like it was burning my lungs, and my skin, I looked back, and I saw it, a wall of dirt and fire carried on the wind. A firestorm, it had destroyed most of this place, thats why it was so desolate now, I could still see the little oasis, the fire wrapped right around it not touching it at all though, I tried to run but the wind was so fierce I could only crawl, I found a small outrcropping of baked sand and charred root and hid behind it, the fire washed over me, I buried my face in the sand, it passed over me, thank god i found that little hillock, I could barely breath my clothing was now seared and had holes, my face burned, I turned and ran back to the oasis, hell with this I thought... this IS hell! I got back to the oasis, but on a slightly different side, there were houses near the edge but they looked completely unscathed, had to be safe, the only thing was I couldent get to them a 7 foot wall, the oasis was up on a little mesa the edge was sand I could not grab hold if I jumped up the sand collapsed, over to my right there was a hill I thought about using it to run and jump from but it was too far from the edge, I wouldent have made it. The roaring noise started to get louder again, another blast was coming, ok so I am going to get burned, but the wind is so strong, if I stand right at the edge, hopefully the up force of the wind will help me jump up and over the edge... It worked and I got burned but it put me on the oasis...

I felt like shit, i think I was dehydrated, I wish I could go home, I dont know anyone here, they dont me, I was at the back of a building I tried to get in, some people saw me from inside, I was near a stariwell, it was a big brick building some came out a few looked concerned others looked like they wanted to throw me back to the fire.
My brain was a mess, I started having an anxiety attack I felt so weird it was like my mind was responding in slow motion.
"Who are you how did you survive that you should be dead"
A friend once said I must be made of asbestos as i moved the logs around in a fire with my hands (in this reality)
"I dont know" I needed help couldent he see that?
"We killed a demon though, and I cut off his horns"
I have no idea why I said that... I reached in my pocket and there were two horns, about 4 or 5 inches long and slightly curled they were blood red.
The peolpe kind of backed away from me except one, he pulled me to the side before I walked in the building he siad something to me, I couldent understand him his accent was thick, I started to go in the building again, apparently he could not speak what he was speaking in the building it was blasphemy or something, I tried to understand him but I could not... and its driving me nuts it was of course important...

It looked like a school, I was confused what the hell was I doing in school I finished that a while ago... Oh yeah...
I wandered around a little, came to the gym, I needed some clothes, mine were destroyed there was a class all lined up in a regiment, I went to join them, my brains a friking mess, I forgot again, I felt drunk almost, stupid and slow. people kept pushing me away, the teacher looked at me I thought I was standing at attention what was his problem (not the fack i was some strange burnt up derelict) I looked down my feet werent at the right angle, "oh, sorry" I corrected, and a girl, she was in her late teens early 20's petite shoulderlength hair i think she pulled me aside, "hes hurt"
She looked at me, took my pack of my back, took out my camera case, took the camera out of that, "nice camera" she said, and then she came back to me, she looked at my hands, on my left wrist was a colorfol bracelet, looked like one of those friendship bracelets i think (ive never worn one) she fiddled with it and it untied "oopse sorry" she tied it back up though. I said "My friend gave that to me" I swear I must have seemed retarded and she was just taking pity on me. on my other wrist was a black bracelet, it looked indian kinda, very small beads.

She took me out of the gym and we went to what seemed to be a dorm area she led me to a bathroom, and said "Clean up" I closed the door, the tub was full, I should take a bath....I looked in the mirror, it was me, no changes, just a burnt up face, my hair was alll jacked up my eyes were bloodshot, I looked like shit, the bridge of my nose was badly burned... ok charred. the black hunk of skin peeled right off, I think a bunch of the nerve endings got seared so it didnt hurt as much as it should have, I started looking through the vanity for some medication to put on it, all I could find was makeup, and other stuff, I was definatly in a girls bathroom, I opened the door I herd her talking to someone "well what are you gona do with him?" "he is kind of cute"
Cute? I was burnt to a crisp and looked like shit.. girls are weird...
She noticed me and smiled, I asked, "neosporin?" She said oh yeah, and left and came back with some for me.

I woke up.
