Boseman High School Shenanigans: Episode 1

Lily’s mind swims with flashes of violence and lust and violence again. She rubs her eyes clear, trying to blink out the imagery. Was this thing forcing them to recount memories?…

She couldn’t help herself…

Lily stood at the front gate of ‘Boseman Elementary’. The heaviness of the first day’s backpack threatened to send her toppling backwards. Carefully selected crayons, pencil case and lunchbox mixed with books and other supplies after a summer away from school.

She hyped herself up to try take that first step towards the school, and away from her parents who watched hopefully from behind. No words of rushing but kind encouragement came as they practiced their in her own time… philosophy.

Then an arm linked her own.

"Let’s go!" Wendy chimed, turning briefly to wave off her own parents before marching Lily a step or two forward. The girl dug her heels in, but her friend wouldn’t have it. Stopping for only a second, Wendy whips about and smiles:

"It’s okay! Come on! Let’s get seats beside each-other! Quick before they’re all gone!"

Lily barely has time to turn and wave off her parents, who are already in conversation with Wendy’s. Their fathers… worked together back then. She thinks they did at least…

Then she’s carted across the playground in about five seconds and zipped into the classroom by her best friend.

Lily dodges Belinda. Then her gaze turns to the instruments on the ground. Weapons, if that thing was to be believed.

The thing… it didn’t bear thinking about at the moment… All that mattered was survival.

She dives for the weapon then, one of the ones that look like a movie prop ray gun!

She grabs it, and turns on Belinda and the others, trying to keep as many at the other end of the gun as possible.

"Back up, bitches, or I’ll crank this thing to kill."

Emily sees Lilly make a grab for a weapon but she's too keyed in on Belinda to pay much attention. But then she thinks of Freddie and shakes her head. "No. Not Belinda," if there's anything left of her, that is.

Then she realizes Unger is behind pipes and will be hard to shoot so it's back to Belinda.

"Sorry Freddie. We have to kill them all anyway. Everyone grab the weapons on the floor!" The girl shrieks as she fires her pistol at Belinda.

Freddie rushes forward, his hammer and chisel about to carve him some turkey out of Meyers. Maybe. I've never carved a turkey. Probably don't use a hammer for that. Focus!

"No!!! he yells, though whether that is at what's happened to Belinda or what was tried to be done to Emily, isn't clear, least of all to him.

Zach manages to shake off the painful effects of the electrical energy that the red creature had sent through him. Without wasting any time, he quickly dives for one of the rayguns as well but doesn't use it just yet.

"We aren’t on campus!" Lily quips, given that they were, in fact, under the campus right now!

Then she trains her gun on Carlisle and zzzaps!
