Ok, here's my first fictional story. It's not about oddworld, it's set in the future. Don't worry if you don't get the storyline because you'll get it eventually. Ok, here goes:
The Inside Job
Chapter I
"I was like you before. I wore the same mask and uniform; had the same rifle; did the same thing every day. It gets lonely doesn't it?"
The guard stopped briefly, then continued dragging me along. He was breathing heavily, the poor man was sick. The standard guard uniform was connected to the person's brain implant. It helped fight common dieseases but not alot.
We walked through the concrete corridor passing small cells now and then. The eyes of the prisoners were watching me. I looked at them. I could see the despair in their eyes, the hatred, and the pain.
"Here's your cell" the guard said in a deep voice. It sounded familiar.
"I think I know you from somewhere" I said to him. I was trying to remember, of course, I had saved an old man earlier (which is why I was being imprisoned in the first place). His name was James Brown. He must've been the gurads relative because their voices sounded the same.
"Do you know someone called James Brown?" I asked him eagerly.
The guard took his mask off. He looked exactly like James.
"Of course, he's my father" he responded curiously. "How do you know him Peter?"
Peter, my real name. It had been months since someone called me by my real name. The Superiors gave us numbers for names. I was Officer #5A886352, well I was Prisoner #5A886352 now.
"Well you father was getting beat up by a patrol of Superiors' Troopers. I couldn't take it anymore. I shot them all and allowed your father to escape. Don't you even know why you have to take me to a prisoner cell?" I said angrily.
The guard was shocked. I saw could see the anger on his face, but also happyness.
"You, let him escape? You should expect torture and regular beatings now, but not from me. Thank you for saving him!" he said happily.
"You could help me too" I said desperately. "Please. We can get the rest of the guards and attack the Superiors from the inside. We can destroy the Fortress once and for all! Please!"
The guard looked up at a security camera which was following our actions. He pushed me insinde the cell.
"Sorry Peter, it's not time yet." he said sighing. He pretended to punch me in the stomach but actually sneaked an apple into me pocket. "I'm really sorry" he said once again looking at the security camera. He pushed me to the ground and closed the door.
I sat in a dark corner where the camera couldn't monitor me and started eating the apple. I was thinking about how this whole mess happened, everything started going bad from the beggining I guess.
End of Chapter I
