《Lazy Ash》47. Dogs, Hoard, and my whiskey.

Ash
Ya know at this point I am positive some asshole hates me somewhere in the universe. Otherwise why would I currently be trying my best to stop a mutated demonic looking dog that even P.E.T.A wouldn't protect? While two more dogs are currently attacking the twins and the survivors.
The dogs must've heard the noise when we were fighting Vika. Once they saw us through the windows they started to drool and burst inside.
Each one is a sickly looking gray with black veins pulsing. They had no hair and were about the size of a small car. I tried to figure out the breeds but came up with squat.
"I thought you said you were the dog whisperer!? Tell these dogs to back off!" I hear the twins yell at me while I am trying to keep Cujo here from ripping out my throat.
I hate it when people don't get my sarcasm.
As the dog in front of me lunges I dodge to the side and slam my fist into the spot between its eyes. I feel bone break and the dog yelps and lays still.
I may have reduced strength but I can still punch through a car with ease.
Turning back to the girls who look exhausted I bring up a dozen fox fire spikes and shower them down on the dogs attack them.
Once they lay still I let out a sigh of relief.
"We need to move now. I don't know how many heard us but this place is not safe. Also you two need to use attacks that use the least amount of energy. The entire town is a draining zone where you are far more limited than you were before."
With that I jog to the door and peek outside.
"Holy shit!"
A war zone would be putting this mildly. The entire place looks like the Hulk and Jigsaw teamed up for one hell of a play date. Everywhere I look are bodies killed in quite interesting ways. In fact I think I now have an idea where some horror movies originated from.
The cars are smashed and the insides of some are smeared in gore. The streets are ripped apart along with some of the buildings. The two building directly across from the restaurant are actually collapsed.
When that mist came it must've made something big. And big means bad always does no exceptions unless they are on my side no one else's. Somehow I don't think this one is on mine.

"Are you human?" I hear a voice behind me ask.
"Hmmm?" I turn to see who it is and it turns out to be the one surviving male of the group who barged in.
He is pretty tall with hard features, he has dark hair cut short, two green eyes that are narrowed at me, and an assault rifle pointed at my head.
Now where did that come from? I could've sworn the two with guns were killed by Vika. Did this guy hold out on his companions?
"Whoa! easy there guy! Yes I am human or was a few months ago. Now though I am probably your only chance of getting the fuck outta here so do you mind lowering the gun before my pup decides to rip out your throat?"
I wasn't joking either. Ciar had managed to climb up on a table and was radiating killing intent to the mans side. If her teeth and claws could break my skin then this guy has no chance in any hell of living.
"Master you should allow me to end this ungrateful human! You save him and he threatens you? How dare he!" Ciar finishes with a growl that isn't scary in the slightest its more adorable than anything.
"Eh. He's an idiot who is scared I mean after all this entire town is or already has become a den of monsters and currently we aren't in a safe place." I walk over to her and pick her up, give her a quick scratch under her chin and place her on my head again.
The man still has his weapon pointed at me but honestly I don't really care too much as he is probably going to die anyway.
"Lets move you two we need to go now! If I remember right the bar you two work at is a few blocks from here and we can make it if we hurry. Probably the best place to stay if it's clear and I am liking the chances of that if any of those men with guns survived."I look at the twins and say.
"We don't know what this is but we have protections set-up at the bar so it should be safe. At least no one inside should've got infected." They respond.
Ah silver lining there you are. Maybe that guy out there doesn't completely hate me after all. With that we all got up and headed out. Vova was quite and the other three decided to tag along. I personally didn't care as they are not, will not, nor will they ever be my problem.

I have to babysit two annoying ass twins I am not going to watch them too.
As we all step outside I keep a lookout for any more "things" I guess is the best word for them. Everyone stays silent as they observe their surroundings.
With a quick look at them all I can tell they are terrified. Even the twins don't look so good. At this point I should be freaking out to worrying over what the hell smashed all this shit. But oddly I am calm. Which my mind tells me is the correct response but my inner nerd is telling me to run.
Kinda like when you are at the movies and they show something watching-
......................
I spin and look at the tops of the buildings. I switch to x-ray and see half a dozen creatures moving across the rooftops looking at us.
"Uh guys."
They all look at me.
"Run." I bolt down the street. Those things were bigger than the fucking dogs! screw that shit. Inner calm fuck off! Inner nerd come back your more important!
The creature must've known somthing because at the moment when we all started to run they started coming down the buildings in waves.
The creatures were the first one I saw back at the warehouse. They had the spike arm and the blown up body features. Although this time they had clawed feet and one clawed hand which they were using to climb with.
"Watch out for the spike arms! If you are hit your done for!" I shout behind me
"Why don't you help us delay them a bit instead of running ahead!?" The twins shout at me.
"Sorry but little know fact. All I have to do to survive is outrun the guy next to me. I suggest you guys do they same!"
I hear a few gasps from behind me but I don't really care there are way to many of those things and I am pretty sure those spikes can penetrate my skin. My promise was to help the twins not these people. I am sure they aren't actually dumb enough to risk themselves for-
"SON OF A BITCH!" I roar. I turned to check the progress of the others and it seems one of the strippers tripped and the twins went to help!
"You have got to be shitting me!"
I peel back toward them and start putting half my power into a fox fire ball. By the time I reach the girls I have a giant green fire ball over my head that would make Frieza proud.
With an annoyed look at the twins I toss it at the approaching mob.
"Move!"
The ball slams into them and explodes. The shockwave knocks everyone off their feet but I promised to throw the last person up into the hoard that was barely slowed by my attack. And it made a huge ass crater that took the street and the two buildings on both sides out!
So everyone was back on their feet and running quickly. As we reach the alley the leads to the Drunken Stool we hear gunfire. As we reach the building we see why.
At the entrance is even more of the things trying to break in.
"Shit they are blocking the door!" The twins yell.
The hoard behind is fast approaching. I try to go through a lot of different options but ultimately decide to do it the American way.
I snatch the assault rifle from the ass from before and lay into the fuckers in front of the door. When the ammo clicks empty I frown but enough are down to the point the shooters from inside can clear up the rest.
When they see us approaching they hurry and open the doors as we rush in.
"Hurry close the doors there are more behind us!"
As they were doing that I went over and ripped out a two poles from the place and stuck them through the doors handles.
The creatures finally hit the door as I am sliding in the last pole. They slam on the door for a little while but then stop for some reason.
I sigh with relief and turn to the bar.
"Finally I can get my whiskey!"
I walk past all the people staring at me due to my fox ears and tails and sit at the bar. I steal a bottle and glass and pour my drink.
I raise the glass up and get ready to drink. Then I feel a sharp pain in my chest. Looking down I can see a familar spike sticking from my chest.
"Oh.....Come...on! Just...Let me...Get a drink."
However my wish wasn't granted instead I was rocketed backward and up and out a window. The last thing I saw was everyones horrified looks.

Which is how Rueben finds himself in an apartment that is larger on the inside than it should be, about to be fired at by a weapon he has never seen the likes of in a building that is on fire. Super powers! The result of his sojourn in the burning building. Now Rueben has a few decisions to make. Does he become the hero he has always dreamed of being, or does he stay out of the fight to keep his Grandmother safe? Does Rueben give up his power to be the skinny kid he has desperately longed to be? Find out this and much more in the first book of the Fat Boy Hero Series. -History of FBH- Fat Boy Hero is a story long in the making. The idea came from my love of hero stories, but the lack of relatable heroes. By that i mean there were no, or few heroes that dealt with weight gain. Something I have and am dealing with after leaving the Marine Corps. So Fat Boy Hero was born. Check out the link below to listen to an episode of The Round Table Podcast where I brainstormed the idea with the hosts and special guest Michael underwood. http://www.roundtablepodcast.com/2013/03/workshop-episode-53-guest-host-michael-r-underwood/ This book is a side project and will be updated as time permits. I hope you do not find this too off-putting.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
