Endgame (Patreon)

A very sneaky peek at what is currently the opening/prologue sequence of Endgame. Might change as time goes on (probably will. LoL) but...for now....

Mwa ha ha

Reality untwisted itself and I felt the ground under my feet again. Nausea hit me hard as soon as everything stopped spinning and I doubled over, my stomach painfully protesting…whatever the hell had just happened.

I vomited, gagging against bile in my throat – it wasn't at all attractive, I was certain, as my stomach violently emptied itself. Attractiveness was the least of my worries, though. I was mostly just disappointed I'd missed both men standing nearby. 

My legs finally gave up even trying. The floor tilted toward the ceiling, and I dropped my knees, gripping my stomach and still choking on the taste of acid and whatever was left in my stomach. 

I was not having a good day.

One of the men finally crouched next to me, and a hand passed gently over my back. A surprisingly gentle gesture from a kidnapper.

???: It's alright. Try to take deep breaths. The first jump can be a little jarring. It'll pass soon.

Instinct told me to scramble away from the intrusion, but my body was not exactly in prime scrambling condition so I stayed in place, squinting at the ground and wishing he'd just go away.

I tried to focus on feeling less like my insides were trying to turn themselves upside down so I could figure out what to do next.

(I just need to get a hold of myself.) 

I stared down at the spiral cut stones beneath my knees and wondered just…how the heck had all this happened? And what did these two men want with me?
