The rattling in my sleep woke me up -

as my senses slowly surfaced i noticed the uncomfortable surface i was sleeping on

I slowly opened my eyes in a daze

I was in an open cart , being pulled by 

. . . . . . . . . . something .

I blinked my eyes a few times and looked properly at whats pulling me and-

Instantly my heart spiked to a 180 and i flinched back in horror 

a big humanoid monster was pulling the cart i was on , 

its huge grotesque hands was holding the carts handle and pulling it 

its back was scalded and covered in abrasions with blood pouring out of it

I stared at its back frozen in fear and completly confused at what was happening

It hasn't killed me yet which is a good sign but it could be just that it hasn't realised i was sitting in the cart , I mean even I didn't realise I was on a cart until a sec ago

As it slowly pulled the cart with me in it , I continued on penetrating it's back with my gaze praying with all my soul for it to not notice me

minutes passed as i stared into its back in fear 

and i let out a breath i didnt knew i held , much louder than i am comfortable with a monster next to me.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

but the thing just continued on pulling the cart as if nothing else matters to it

a few more minutes passed and my mind became collected enough to do something other than stare at its back in fear

i teared my eye from the monster and looked at my surroundings 

the cart was being pulled in a medeival type cobble stone road.

the road was going on an big incline towards the top of a distant tower 

is that where its pulling me to ? it still seemed to be a pretty long way to reach the top

i got up and stood upright steadily in the moving cart and looked back 

the clouds were covering the road that has been already passed by the cart meaning that this road was already higher than the clouds and still climbing .

What! , How high am i ?

and what is this monster ? how am i in this cart ? what is that tower its taking me to ? 

No , questions for later , I suppressed the thousand other questions popping in my head and focused on what's important

For whatever reason this guy is pulling me to that tower I bet it's not going to be a pleasent one 

I glanced at the monster who was still not paying attention to me 

well , since he's soo into his calling ,

i can just get out of the cart and walk back to mother earth 

though its gonna be a long walk down since im already above the clouds , wait how am i even breathing properly 

since i'm so high up should'nt the air be so thin that i coul barely breathe-Goddamit , concentrate for a second you stupid brain

i glanced again at the beast who's  still not paying attention to me

I slowly grabbed the side of the cart and raised my leg out of the cart intending to escape , when suddenly the cart stopped.

my body froze in fear 

i hesitently turned my head towards the monster 

the monster had stopped the cart ,  and it slowly turned its head towards me

It had no lower lips , so its huge teeth with defined incisors were open for all to see

Its face in a permanent scowl with protruding veins and dry blood over its face

Its eye's filled with rage met mine

I calmy took my leg back into the cart and slowly sat back into the cart

The monster satisfied turned back and continued pulling the cart

Meanwhile at the back of the cart

i was shitting bricks on the inside and sweating bullets despite my calm exterior

But seeing that its not going to do anything  , i let out a deep breath 

So going out of the cart is a NO , huh ?

Guess my only choice is to wait and see whats in store for me at the tower
