#1 of race to live
My next story, hope you enjoy thanks for reading ^.^
Ever feel like you've been singled out? Feel like there's only one of you? Well when you talk to the average person their not alone. Matter of fact, there's many of the said people if not more. Cept in my case it's a bit different. Let's just say I'm stuck in a dream of my life. Only thing is, is that this dream became reality and it's the ride of a lifetime. My name is Jason, and I'm the last of my kind, the last of the human race.
Now before you go judging me, I'm the last human but the planet is still alive, meaning plants live, animals live, and walk the planet. And when I say walk the planet, I mean it literally. They basically humans but with animal like qualities and abilities. Ears, tails, the works, hell some even have and/or do more than that! Now I know you're wondering, "Ok how in the hell did that happen?" well remember all those BS stories about portals to another world? Well I decided to test to see if these "portals" and see if they work or just another scam. I had convinced myself that it was and there was no such thing that could be called a portal. It was your classic scene, cave entrance in the middle of a forest, almost no one around, the scary noises all that fun stuff. Any who, I went inside with a maglight and took a look around. So far just damp dark and boring. Though a big ass group of bats scared the shit out of me. I went on a little further and wouldn't you know it, a dead end. "Well this sure was a fine adventure, gee what did we learn from this experience" I said with sarcasm in my voice. "Portals don't exist; maglights work well in the dark, and bring a sweat shirt into a cave next time I go into a cave. But wait! There isn't gunna be a next time." At that point I started to head back, but then, the ground started to rumble, and my only way out was blocked from the roof collapsing. Once the dust had settled I saw that my exit had been blocked. "Oh well that's just PERFECT!!! "Go on a cave walk, it'll be exciting" what crack was I smoking thinking this was a good idea!?!? Son of a bitch now what am I gunna do!?" I pulled out my cell phone to see if I could call someone, and go figure, no signal.
It felt like hours sitting in that cave. No sounds, just my voice echoing off the walls. "Man....I'd do almost anything to get out of here." And right as I said that, a small blue ball of light floated from the center of the floor. Soon as I saw that my back was against the wall. This blue ball of light had 6 yellow smaller balls come out of it. It then descended to the ground and lit the whole area up, blue in the center and yellow surrounding the blue all forming into circles. Being into sci-fi stuff I was extremely curious, so I walked into this circle and stood on top of the blue circle. Then this got my attention big time. The yellow circles that had sank into the ground, shot up and were moving in closer to me. They were only a few inches away from me, the yellow balls then shifted into long cylinders and started to rotate around me, moving faster and faster. "The hell is going on!?" At this point I was scared, and then a bright light glowed so bright I couldn't keep my eyes opened.
"Oowww...what in the hell was that? Huh...the exit isn't blocked anymore. Well that's convenient; thanks whatever you are I really aspirate it. Not like they can hear me." I said on my way out. When I got out of the cave it was day time. "Guess I was out longer then I thought." I walked down from the cave and hit the streets thinking about two things, shower and breakfast. It was weird once I got onto the city streets, it was almost empty, not a single person on the sidewalk. About a block later I saw a construction signs blocking the street. "Ahhh ok that explains why no one is around. Ha-ha and here I thought I got sent to a ghost town." I walked around the signs and headed for a restaurant. Hey a guy's gotta eat right? After a few minutes I found a Joe's burgers, home of the juiciest burgers you'll ever taste in this city. Once I got inside the place didn't look that busy, but I thought "well faster service for me." Took a couple of seconds for the waitress to take my order. "Hello sir welcome to Joe's burger's how can I help you today?" what I saw was pretty cute, maroon shirt green pants but she had cat ears on and had a tail. Halloween was coming up so she probably was just in the spirit. I ordered a burger, fries and a soda. But something was off, the waitress kept on looking at me as if I was hiding something. Nothing bad but she looked like super curious. She came back and asked me how I was able to hide my ears and tail. I thought she was asking why I wasn't in my costume. "Oh I didn't get my costume yet haven't had the time." She laughed at what I said. "Ha-ha no sirs how are you able to hide your ears?" I gave her a straight look and said "how am I hiding my ears? There right here." I pointed at them. "Oh those aren't real" she said with a giggle in her voice. "Yeah then yours isn't real then either ha-ha" She leaned down and tugged on my ear not hard but enough to get my attention. "Ah hey what do you think you're doing?" she was amazed at my reaction. "Those are real?" She said. "Yeah use'em to hear, just like you." I was a little off why she tugged on my ear, thought she was just a weird person. I stood up and tugged on her ears on top of her head. "Oowww sir please stop that hurts." That alone scared the hell out of me. I let go of her ear and I started to back up to the door. "You ok Shannon?" it was the cook, and my eyes widened when I saw him. He was fat like a pig and had a head, skin even a tail like one.
"Sir are you ok, you look scared?" said the cat waitress. I backed up to the door but before I did, I looked at the other customers. One looked like a lizard man and the other a lizard woman. That was enough to make me push that door open and sprint as hard and as far away from that place as fast as humanly possible. But the further into the city I got, the more I saw. "What the fuck is going on!?!? What happened to these people!?!?" I said while mid sprint. I saw everything, birds, snakes, dogs, and cat people. Even a person who looked like a freaking dragon, a DRAGON! I ran into an ally way and hid behind a dumpster catching my breath. "Ok...ok what in the fuck is going on. Everything still looks the same but the people are totally different. Wait then...that was a portal. So I'm home but...yet, I'm not home." I saw a box of thrown away hoodies. Couldn't have picked a better spot, normally I wouldn't dumpster dive but it was a box so I could live with myself sort of. Everything still looked the same, so I made my way to the library to use the computers and do a little research. I got into the library no problem and got on an empty computer and started searching up random things that popped into mind. Everything that had happened in history was still the same, only they were not humans. They were the same as everyone I had seen outside and more.
I got out of there as soon as possible and thought to myself "ok if history hasn't changed then why am I hiding?" I took off the hoodie and threw it into the nearest trash can. Only place I wanted to go next was the race track. Car's always calmed my mind, put me at peace. I found the race track, 16 turns' 2 hairpin turns and one long ass straight away. There wasn't any races going on so it was dead empty. I sat on the bleachers looking out at the track. I felt something pressing against my leg in my pocket, when I pulled it out it was my mp3 player. I was so flustered I plain forgot about it. I put my headphones in and played my music, Kick start my heart by Motley Crue. I put on a smile and remembered the races that had been held here in the past. I was settled down and at peace, relaxed and rocken out to my music and imagining the cars screaming by on the track. Then I saw something at the corner of my eye. It was a car rolling onto the track. "Wow, 2000 Saleen mustang s281, wonder how she'll run." The driver of the car started the engine. Oh it was such a soothing sound. The car started to roll forward not going fast at all. It stopped at the start/finish line. She revved 3 times then a loud roar came from the engine, tire's screeched and she took off. My eyes were locked onto this car like glue, the music was just making these moments even more awesome. Oh by the way, I refer to car's girls, hence why I say she runs well. She came around the last turn and I heard her grabbing gears like it was nobody's business. She screamed by the stands doing at least a buck 10 or so. That gave me goose bumps, the roar of her engine sent shivers down my body. I was loving every moment of it. She came around the last turn again, but not screaming this time. The car was doing about 60 then pulled to the side closest to the stands and stopped right in my direction. Once the motor shut off the door opened and the driver got out. It was a woman but this woman looked as if she was a wolf. "Hey you, what are you doing up there by yourself?" well I didn't want to be rude so I walked down to greet her. "I came here to clear up my mind on a bunch of stuff." I said in a kind voice. "Oh sorry about me running around the track didn't mean to disrupt your peace and quiet." I thought it was cute how she thought it was her fault for making noise at a race track. "Oh no it's perfectly fine. And speaking of fine that's an amazing mustang you got there. She sounds great." I was indeed amazed by this mustang, she purred like a cat.
"Oh so you know about cars huh? Well she's great and all but I think the clutch is going on her." I was a little shocked at her statement and decided to take a long shot. "Really now? Well mind if I take a shot at taking her around the track?" I had a good feeling she was going to say no. "Sure but I'm riding with you, I'm not that slow." I laughed a little bit. "No I can tell just from you running around the track." We both got into the car and started her up. Oh the rumble of the engine was soothing, but I had to do what I said I was going to do. I stuck it in first and took her down the road slowly. I didn't want to floor it because it wasn't my car and I had no way of paying for it. "Hey don't be gentle, she's an official GT1 racer, well was at one point, but she'll still hold her title so race her. Use her how she was meant to be used." Soon as she said that I floored it. Grabbing 2nd, 3rd, 4th, oh man I was in the zone. I did only a lap because I only wanted to test the car. "Yeah the clutch is starten to go bad indefinitely. Well thank you very much for letting me drive your car. It was fun." I was in heaven, got to race a mustang around my home track no worries about this or that; I had no care in the world. "It's not a problem. Say what's your name? I haven't seen your breed around here before." At that point I didn't care so I just said it. "The name is Jason and breed? Well I'm human." She was waiting for me to say something else. "Human and what?" I replied "there is no and what, I'm just a human." She had the most shocked look on her face that I have ever seen before. What she said next scared me once again. "That can't be, a pure breed human hasn't existed since the 1500's."
