Chapter 94

Silence.

If I don’t communicate, maybe it’ll go away.

I almost laugh at the absurd thought of meeting the equivalent of a T-Rex, but I’m too freaked out for me to find it funny. Its an apt comparison too cuz this thing just threatened me.

“Your actions have been too precise and thought out for you to be anything other than sapient. Perhaps the language nodule didn’t take? No, I’m looking at it now and it seems perfectly fine. Which means you just aren’t talking. Come now don’t be afraid. Communicate with me.”

Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. The rat bastard threatens me and wants me not to be afraid. Fuck you dude. Go away.

I was feeling lonely and I wanted someone to talk to but this ain’t the fuck it chief. Who the fuck starts of a conversation with a damn threat?

And apparently this thing’s not done with the threats because then I get this:

“If you cant prove your sapience I will be forced to destroy you. Your kinds’ tendency to wreak havoc on the local ecosystem is too large a threat to leave unchecked. Please speak to me.”

There’s no choice here, this asshole might actually kill me…

I cant help myself and bitterly say, “first intelligent thing I come across in this damn place and you open with threats, how fucking charming.”

“Finally you speak child. I apologize for my behavior but I had to make sure. Like I said I’ve come across your kind from time to time but the very first time I came across one of you I dismissed it as a non-threat, it took out half the forest before I could eliminate it.”

Woah. Yeah I remember it saying that it’s met my kind before but I couldn’t help but be overcome with panic, so not much of anything it said has fully clicked. Wait hold on, didn’t it also say that its been watching my actions?

I can’t help but say as much, “Yeah but you said you’ve been taking note of my actions. Well all I’ve done so far is try to protect the forest. Why then did you think it appropriate to initiate a conversation with threats?“

“Please, child, understand where I’m coming from.”

Noooooo I understand where its coming from and, ”for fuck’s sake stop calling me a child.”

“Then what would you like me to call you?”

At that I stop the tirade that was about to come forth.

…

Oh shit. Hold on.

What the fuck is my name?!
