Mystery Story

Prologue: Twilight:1

They took the box in their hands, not knowing what was inside of it. Because if they had, they never would have done what they did...2

Chapter One: Ten Minutes After the Deaths:3

The bodies of the teens lay on the floor, the open box near them. No signs of any known cause of death could be seen.4

Chapter Two: Three Hours Later:5

The chief of police yelled out orders. 'I want a team in that building NOW! Research possible connections. I need to talk with everyone involved in any way. Call up the parents of all the teens. Now! I need as much information about what happened as I can get!'6

Chapter Three: Three Minutes Before the End:7

The agent stared at Philip. 'You!' Philip grinned at him. 'I'm the last person you would have suspected, aren't I?'8

Chapter Four: Six Minutes After the Discovery of the Box:9

Peter stared at it. 'So what do you think's in it?'10

Marissa glared at him. 'I told you, I don't know.'11

'Remember, guys,' Mike said, 'don't open the box. We don't know what's in it.'12

'Ah, what could it be?' complained Hugh. 'Don't open the god damn box!' responded Mike.13

Chapter Five: Two Minutes After the Deaths:14

The man walked into the room and looked around. He turned on the two-way radio and called his boss. 'The deed has been done,' he said. 'Good,' said his boss. 'Return here. I will give you your next objective.'15

'The police chief will be informed if we don't do something,' the man said. 'I'll take care of that.'16

Chapter Six: Two Million Years Before the Deaths:17

The king stood on the podium. 'The beast has been contained!' he called out to his people. 'It will never be freed again! ...Unless, of course, a few dumbass teens a couple million years from now fuck with it. But still! For now, the threat is gone!'18

Chapter Seven: Seven Minutes Later:19

'Look!' yelled one of the king's warriors. 'What are they?' The king looked up. There were what appeared to be winged demons flying the skies. 'Quick! Kill them!' yelled the king. 'Take up your weapons! We will bring the demon's followers death!'20

Chapter Eight: Fourteen Minutes Later:21

The king was dead, slain by a demon. The warriors killed it within seconds, but the wound was fatal. 'No!' cried one of his followers. 'We cannot win the war now!'22

'But thankfully the beast is still contained,' said another of the warriors. 'The land is nearly safe.'23

Chapter Nine: Right Now:24

Over the phone:25

'I'm gonna hunt you down and I'm gonna kill you... slow.'26

'Who the hell is this?'27

'Real slow.'28

'Listen, hang up or I'm calling the cops!'29

'Reeeeeaaaaaaal sloooow.'30

'All right, you wanna play that way? Fine. Come and try your best, but know that I have a machete.'31

'Real, real, reeeeaaaaaal slow.'32

Chapter Ten: December 10th, 1986, 10:45 AM:33

The man picked up his cup of coffee and took a drink. He typed in a few words on his computer and clicked send. Someone knocked on the wall of his cubicle. It was the person in the cubicle next to him. 'We need the timeline and resources by Friday, Tom. But listen, if you wanna send me the data for your other project, I'll research it for you and send you the info. I finished up the design for the new software drive on Wednesday.'34

'Thanks, Joe, but I can get it. I'm almost done. Besides, the requirements are pretty strict and I don't know how much information there's gonna be.'35

Chapter Eleven: The Time of the Deaths:36

'Look! Over there! At the door!'37

'Jesus Christ, what is that?'38

'I don't know, but it's coming this way!'39

'Look, whoever you are, you'd better get the fuck outta here!'40

'What's that in its hand?'41

'Holy shit! That's - ARRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!'42

The man fell to the ground, a knife in his back. People on the streets ran over to see what was wrong, but the killer had disappeared.44

"You know that you will be stopped if you try anything."47
