Chapter 2

After the long distance travel the drunken man stepped out and looked around. He looked and saw the sun, but there was still darkness. As he looked around he noticed a lot of cherry trees, mostly cherry trees. He walked, and saw the temporary center for the investigators in the past. He looked inside the shack.

After walking inside, he noticed some guns (likely for killing the creatures), and a stack of documents. He found a singular creature research paper, and started looking. “Specimen 1, moderately sized black ball. The eyes have seeable venom glands on both sides. The venom impact is about the equivalent of 16 bees. The population of these specimens are plentiful.”

The man put this in his backpack, and continued. He found a missing person report. Curious, the drunken man read it. “Missing person; Charlie R.S. A twelve year old small boy. He was likely kidnapped by a certain group of investigators. They were declared deceased in 2072.” The drunken man scratched his head. He felt he had read this paper before, or at least seen it somewhere. Perhaps in the news? He had a bad memory ever since he was freed. In the documents he often found the names of a few people.

To him however, this was no mystery. It had been the investigators. Anyway, he decided to do some exploring himself. After taking the documents, he awkwardly took out his hunting knife, arose, and started his simple quest. After some searching, he found a dark field and sliced down the long, almost dead grass. Nothing was there, so he continued down the void-like area.

After a while, he saw a faint gleam of light in an over-sized eye. It seemed ready to bite. As it pounced, he cradled the knife into its eye. It shrieked. After going a little mad it went unconscious. The drunken man scraped a bit of venom and scales with his knife. He then slided it into a small glass container and put it back into his pocket. After the DNA samples were collected, he quickly headed back into the suction passageway.

As he made it there, he decided to head back into the shack to see if he missed anything. He looked back to the box. It contained nothing, but he only then noticed something under it, It had been another missing person report! He folded it and placed it into his pocket for later. He then went through the suction passageway.

After getting back at about 8 PM, he went to the office and filed a meeting for the next day. He went from the office to his forgotten house, and went to sleep. As the drunken man dazed while trying to go to sleep, he had questions. He wanted more information about these researchers, and wanted answers.

He wanted to know more about the researcher's destruction. In any case, tomorrow he was going to get those answers.
