UNITY GONE
Jack stood in the elevator looking at Darrel, he was going to do it today.. he wasn’t going to waste any time. The work place had driven him crazy, he hated everyone there, they never noticed him. And now they would notice him. Whether they wanted to or not.
Jack fingered the gun in his pocket and gripped the knife in the other. They treated him like dirt before.
Darrel was talking on his cell phone to his latest girlfriend.
”Oh, baby, you’re so great. Ha ha, I know, I know!” He talked almost as if making fun of Jack. “Yeah, you are so hot, no you are, I know, I know, listen, cutie, I’ve gotta go. I love you! Yeah, yeah, ha ha ha!”
Jack scowled. In the work-place the only time someone ever would pay attention to him was to call him his “nick-name” that Darrel seemed to dub him. Jack-off. Everyone called him it. Which was one of the many reasons that was going to drive him off the deep end.
Darrel pressed the END button and smiled. “Hey, Jack-off, how ya doin’, buddy.” He laughed. “I’m just kidding around.”
Darrel’s catch phrase, “I’m just kidding around.” He’d call you the meanest, most offensive things and then: “I’m just kidding around.”
“So, what did you do last night?” Darrel asked him this only to reply with what HE did last night.
“Oh, you know, hung out with some friends.” Jack actually visited his mother who was on her deathbed.
“Oh.” Said Darrel looking slightly disappointed. “I did the usual, just hung out and went to a party. This gal I’ve got right now is just one to entertain me. Ha ha ha!”
Jack frowned, they were two floors away from their stop. Now was the time to do it.
“Darrel, what I’m about to do..” Said Jack, but was interrupted by Darrel.
“Yeah, chicks are great! Not very smart, you know, they’re really--.” Darrel stopped mid-sentenced when Jack pulled out the gun.
“Darrel, I hate you.” Said Jack tightening his grip on the trigger.
“But, but, Jack, we’re—we’re friends, I thought!” Said Darrel. Jack looked down, Darrel had wet his pants.
“I don’t call being beaned in the head with a ball at the Company Soft-ball game friends.” Said Jack picking one of the many memories rushing through his head.
“No, that wasn’t me, ha ha, that—that was Ray! It was Ray!” Said Darrel getting more nervous now.
“Don’t worry, he’ll be dead today too, as for you, you get to meet your maker first.” Jack pulled the trigger and Darrel’s brains splattered all over the Elevator wall.
Just then the Elevator doors opened and two of Jack’s co-worker’s faces turned from tired and dull looking to shocked and disgusted.
“Jack.” One of them said. Jake from Accounting. “What happened here?”
Jack didn’t even answer, Jake was friends with Darrel and was a practical joker, especially on him.
“Jake, this isn’t a real gun, its just a joke gun, and those our joke liquefied brains, I hope you have a joke heart right now.”
BLAM. A hole in Jake’s chest. He fell over grasping the wound.
Jack shot the man next to him too, in the belly.
He started runnig towards Ray’s office and he saw in the corner of his eye a security guard chasing him. He took out his knife and stopped quickly to put out his foot.
The guard tripped over it and fell onto the ground face first. Jack stabbed him in the back.
“AGH!” Screamed the guard.
Finally, Jack reached the office, but the door was locked. He pounded trying to get it open and he heard a voice from inside.
“My secretary gave me the emergency buzz, Jack, telling me you were headed this way. I have a gun too, friend. Don’t do this. Don’t do this, Jack.”
“You idiot, I have nothing to lose now!” Jack yelled and fired a bullet through the door.
“Ack!” He heard.
He peered his eye through the hole, he had hit Ray in the shoulder.
Ray looked up and saw the hole. “You… bastard!” He huffed out and then shot at the door.
Jack’s ear went flying off.
“Agh! Aghhhhhhh!” He grasped where his ear had been and shot another bullet through the door.
This time he heard a gurgle and a thump on the floor. He looked again, Ray was dead.
He started running through the office again, he had one more specific person on his list before he was just going to go on an all out rampage. Jenny Richfield, the girl who’d turned him down for the company dance and after that day made fun of him every chance she got.
He kept running huffing and puffing. He had to kneel down and take a rest. And suddenly he saw her run out of a door with a cop holding her as she cried. She was currently dating Jake, the joker.
He pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger only to hear a click. He had another six bullets in his pocket, he hurry and reloaded and saw the cop turn around and take aim at him. He put up the gun and clicked it. They both shot at the same time.
Jack had hit Jenny’s thigh and the cop had hit Jack in his knee, shattering the cap.
Jenny fell over and screamed in pain. Jack fell to the ground as well, clutching his leg.
Just then he heard a helicopter come up to the window nearest Jenny and the cop. He saw a man with a rifle aiming right at him. And Jack thought he heard something before everything went dark and he thought no more.
*****
Jack woke up and saw red all around him. He stood up, and his knee gave out again, he fell on it and could still feel his ear being gone.
He looked around, his vision still blurry and saw three men standing in front of him.
He asked them: “Where am I?”
“You’re in hell. We’re in hell.”
“D-Darrel? Why are you here? I killed you.” Jack Said.
“Well, apparently picking on you every day kept me from getting into Heaven.” He said.
“Same with us.” It was Jake and Ray. “And you’re in hell, because you took our lives.”
“Wait, I killed another person too.”
“Oh, you mean my assistant.” Said Jake. “Yeah, he went to Heaven, Bill did. He was never mean to anyone.”
“Oh..” Said Jack. “Well, now you’ve learned your lesson.. for.. for picking on me.”
Darrel smiled. “Sorry about that, you should’ve just told us how you felt about it.”
“Oh and by the way,” Said Ray. “It seems that you’ve learned your lesson too. Don’t kill people.”
“So.. this is hell?”
“Yes.” Jack heard, but it wasn’t Ray, Jake or Darrel. It was a big booming voice. “And you are all mine now to torture.”
Jack turned around slowly and saw a giant dark red figure walking towards them holding a red…
