StarGazing to Death: Part 2

This was beginning to become a manifestation of complete horror. Some scene one would see featured in some stupid horror flick was beginning to become our reality.

The figure was slowly walking towards us and we were all huddled at the end of the dock with absolutely no where to go.

We all started to yell and ask the mysterious psycho questions like, “Hello?” “Who are you?” “Hey, how’s it going?” hoping, praying he would respond in some friendly manner. We all started to pee our pants as he continued walking towards us neglecting to answer ANY of our questions.

Emily quickly panicked and said, “Ok, guys I think it’s time to go. Let’s go, let’s go.”

She didn’t have to tell my ass twice. I quickly grabbed my flip-flops, stood up, and realized something to my complete horror: my left foot was fucking asleep. I was going to die.

China, Emily’s friend spoke up and said, “Everyone, let’s just walk down there nice and calm. Who the hell is this fucker and why won’t he answer us?”
I slowly attempted to stand up and said “All right, the key here is not to panic.”

As we gathered our things we all huddled closely together, while the strange figure is still closing in. I could not believe this was happening. We were all going to die and no one would hear our screams. No one.

I knew for sure he had a knife or maybe HE even carried a sword! Some sick, twist of fate like that was sure to occur during a moment like this. I definitely let China walk down the dock to her death first, mostly because she was willing to. The only weapon I had was my brick-like phone or my red-flimsy flip-flops which could inflict much pain if I slapped them both across his face real hard with précised timing. However, it would have proved a most difficult feat due to my sleeping foot. Shit.

As I hobbled down the dock, I wondered if I’d survive jumping in the lake and just swimming to shore, leaving the others behind. Although I am no Michael Phelps, I heard the body could accomplish grand displays of athleticism if threatened by death. I would have gone to find help, of course, and return promptly. I had a feeling one of us was going to die, someone in a situation like this always does. But just because I was temporarily crippled, I was going to make sure it wasn’t me. Survival of the fittest. Sorry Diana.

China was about ready to tackle this hooded sicko when all of a sudden we heard the man say, “It’s me!!!”
The stranger revealed himself and it was China’s good Hawaiian friend, Liki (Pronounced Leaky like a Leaky-bucket). Emily and Liki had been planning to scare us down here ALL DAY. I would have been more mad but was relieved I was still breathing and could still fulfill my dream of having 7 Philippino babies. We all had a good laugh afterwards but I am still recovering.

I shall live to fight another day but rest assured, I am never going stargazing again. Unless, of course, I am carrying a huge motha-fuccin’ sword.
