Chapter 5. Poison

A smooth and cold gushing wind starts to touch the skin of a young man driving his old Nissan car. On his sight are an image which is entirely different to what the sidemirror tells. "Sigh... this hallucination thing hurts me that much.". The hallucination sends shiver to normal ones, but not to him head strong and composed. "Since when did this place got a village, just awhile ago, when I passed here, that portion is just an empty forest. Hahahaha.". Said by him as he continue to drove his car. The man himself continued to drove his car. On the normal ones, such scene is terrifying, however it is not for him. He continued to drove his car until he reaches his house. Surprisingly there he saw a visitor. It was an old friend, whom he did not see for a long time. He is sitting on an old chair casual and composed. "Howdy, it's been so long my friend. Is the hallucination still affecting you?.".

"Oh come on, that hallucination is basic, i called it super instinct, it's been 4 decades since I was poisoned and I am still doing fine. How about you?. Is the telepathy and the eyes of the government hunting you?".

The both then did hugged each other and do their thing, bumps.

"Like usual, I am hunting that scientist, as for the telepathy, it is still with me. How about you?".

"Being poisoned for several decades I live my life well enough. This hallucination, I have grown accustomed to it. The first minute I saw a forest over there, then the moment when I go back, it is already filled with village. Isn't it great?.". Said by the guy.

"Oh please, look at you, your doing great. Your hallucination, its like its not working at all and look at you.".

At that moment, bunch of kids are throwing fit on the guy. The villain then did look at the poisoned man then when he is about to talk he said.

"Just let them be, I have grown accustomed to it. Let them do their thing. This poison thing somehow helps me the other way around." Said by the guy.

"I have my deep respect to you. Do you still write things".said by the villain.

"I do, it's a log of me and my experiences under this so called poison. Hey dont be sad, I'm still alive.". Said by by guy.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

He then did look at the door.

"How about we go and head inside.". Said by the guy.

"Its your home after all". Said by the villain.

So the both of folks entered a simple and old wooden bungalow house. Perfect for a simple guy under the effect of a poison. It happens, and it happens well. There are few who knows what poison is, poison that will slowly kill someone's life. Luckily, the guy has grown accustomed to it, and he survives for decades as he said.

"So, can I see your logs.".

The man then did showed him his notes and he starts to talk. "The blood runs unto our nerves. I searched our family line and just like what I guess, my father too got this disease. Poisoned deep in our veins.". The great villain then did waved his head sending sympathy to the guy. "No wonder, your father as I observed would only stay inside. When he is out he would frequently look left and right trying to look for the differences. Still like you, he lives for several years. That blood that runs on your veins, I told you before does have poison on it.".

The guy then did start to talk once more and he said "So you still remember my father, good for you, a great villain.".

"How would I forget a special family line with the same hardships as mine. Your lucky for they are not watching your eyes. You are just under the effect of hallucination thing.". Said by the great villain.

"Posioned, that's us, I cannot tell since when, but I guess it's been several years, and that happens for a very long time, history in short. Even my uncle, we broke his head and open his skull, like your uncle to verify if we were realy poisoned.". Said by the guy.

"And your enjoying it, that poison inside your veins.". Said by the villain.

The guy then did said.

"I enjoy it so much as much as I love to write. It's like a daily journal of mine. Sometimes as I drove my car I would just laugh at it, for it is very funny to me. A glimpse of hallucination. Sometimes it helps me find peace.". Said by the guy.

The villain then did went silence. He then did check his friends book and there he saw a log of him being deaf.

"So you can't hear them?".

The guy then did nodded and he said.

"I cannot hear them.". Said by the guy.

The great villain then did look at his friend. He is simple, nice and pure, he is even just giving him a great smile.

"Its fine, you will be good." Said by the villain.

The guy then did look at his friend looking at the window. Then he remember a story of him.

"Yes, I will be in goods hand. Just like what you said, there is a heaven for us. That's your grandmother right.". Said by the guy.

"Yes, I told you, we all are lunatics. When she died, her daughter, my aunt still talk to her under her casket.".

Then he look at his friend and he said "So you will be in goods hands.". Said by the villain.

"The scary thing here is you. You did really do it. You murdered your line, just because of telepathy.".

Then the both of them did laughed.
