Population 0 - Chapter Three

The third chapter of Population 0.

Chapter Three

“I have came to you in times of trouble.” God spoke. The light that escaped his lips bounced around as his mouth opened and closed with every word. “You have experienced a tornado.”

“A tornado? Why such a strange name? What’s the point? Will I survive? Will the others survive?” Joanna said.

“The point is power. The others were greedy, the others were cruel. Half of them thought I didn't exist. They deserved what they got. You will survive. You will be the survivors. You will be the leaders.” God spoke causing a great light show.

“Those people though, they were our friends, our family, our neighbors, and our life.” Drake stepped in.

“You need to trust me with this. There is a life beyond existence. A life you have dreamed of yet thought didn't exist. It does exist. These people were human by day and monster by night.” God replied.

“You are no God to me. You are just a thought. You’re just an illusion.” Joanna hissed at God.

“Think what you want. Though, I have to say that is not true. If you decide to be greedy and cruel then you shall not survive.” God replied in a strong voice.

“I'm scared.” Leila said.

“There’s no need to be scared young one. I am no con man.” God said kneeling down to see the youth more closely. God placed his hand on Leila’s shoulder.

Leila’s eyes turned pitch black. “GET. YOUR. HANDS. OFF. ME.” Leila screamed. “You’re no God to anyone.” A blade appeared in Leila’s hand and she stabbed it into God’s wrist.

“NOOOOOOOOO!” A dire scream emerged from God’s lips.

Joanna walked up to Leila and placed her hand on her shoulder. Joanna pulled Leila away and Daron grabbed Leila’s hand. Drake grabbed Daron's hand and they traveled as one chain away from where God stood gripping his wrist in horrible pain.

Oh my! Is Leila some sort of demon? I can't believe what happened! My, my, my. What in the world. This is just crazy.
