A story inspired by a HighSchool, friend, lover, and insanity induced hate.
Elements in His Head
Scene 1
[On top of a walk-in tomb, a boy sat staring into the surrounding forest]
Luke Notebook: Why is it these memories vex my life, I wish I could just forget.
[He burrowed his head between his legs as a distant voice came from the nearby trees]
Voice: Do you think that you’re alone out here?
Luke: huh? Who said that?
Voice: Does the possibility that someone exist out here near this decrepit place baffle you?
[A man appeared on the roof of the tomb and walked up to sit next to Luke]
Koobeton Ekul: My name is Koobeton ekul, I’m actually on a mission to visit a very important person and then I heard you... talking to yourself?
Luke: Why did you decide to stop and talk to me? I’m not that important. *He looked out into the open without making eye contact with the stranger.
Koobeton: Out of general curiosity, I mean... it’s not every day you find some kid sitting in the middle of a cemetery. Mind telling me why you look so gloomy?
[The mystery man positioned himself near one of the steps that led up to the tomb Luke had been perched on.]
Luke: I don’t even know you, why would I just open up to a stranger? *his glare was intent
[Koobeton looked back at him and spoke the next few words clearly]
Koobeton: *we are closer than you would know*
[Even so, Luke couldn’t make them out; they were almost inaudible in his eyes]
Luke: what did you say?
Koobeton: That I’m the only one even here to listen to you plus it would make you feel better. *A lie but, a truth
[Luke moved a little back in submission and braced himself for the long story]
Luke: I guess I could just try; well it all started about a year ago…
Scene 2
[Scene change Luke is laying on a couch within some orange type looking house, he is talking on the phone]
Luke: But, Spencer what about that kid?
[Mumbles came from the other side of the phone]
Luke: wow, really? I would have never thought of that in a million years. Well boo boo, unfortunately I've’ve got to go, my mother wanted me to clean
[A few words of affection came through the phones receiver]
Luke: love you too.
[As Luke clicked the off button and set the phone down, a smallish looking girl
walked into the room smiling like she just got a cookie]
Rae: LUKE! GUESS WHAT!?
[Luke sat up to get a better view of his little sister]
Luke: What do you want Rae?
[He was completely uninterested; he didn’t even bother to look at her.]
Rae: no, no Luke look! I got 4 A’s on my report card!
[She held the paper higher than her head at that point]
Luke: and… do you feel smart?
Rae: UGH! I hate you!!!
[In a fit of rage she slammed the paper to her side]
Luke: Oh yeah?! WELL, you hates you too.
[Rae trailed off into the next room and Luke rose from the couch and headed into the same direction as his sister went, into the kitchen]
Rae: Why are you following me!!
[Luke began to smirk a little at his sisters’ annoyance]
Luke: Little girl, I just need to do the dishes; mind your manners around me.
[He quickly does the dishes without speaking a word to his sister and proceeds with his plans he set up for the day]
Luke: Tell mom that I went out for awhile, k?
Rae: right… *She said without even batting an eyelash
[Luke gathers the change from the table in the room he had been laying in when he was on the phone, throws his sleek, black, leather jacket on and leaves his house to meet up with his friends on the corner of the local general store]
Luke: hey guys, where is Spencer?
[He was facing two familiar faces in his eyes, one with long faceted, brown hair and her beautiful blue eyes were something to note; the other was kind of jockey looking, he wore a tight, white t-shirt with plain old jeans and his football teams hat]
Tal: I don’t know…
Fea: he said she would meet us here after he finished that project for senior graduation.
Luke: Man, he’s always doing homework. So what movie are we heading to see?
[They talked for awhile about what they are going to see and which theater they intended to hit up as about an hour passed, Luke was losing patience]
Luke: why is he taking so long, him and his damned homework!
Tal: I’ll text him and tell him to meet us at the theater okay?
[Tal already had his phone out and was composing the devious ditching text]
Luke: but.. guys, I really don’t want to go without him *he was a little flushed at the thought
Fea: he’s taking way to long and by time he gets here the last movie will have already played!
[In silent thought he came to the conclusion that he didn’t want his friends to suffer for his “all work, no play” tendencies]
Luke: fine… but, I don’t want any of the blame!
Fea: *she smirked and said: Oh sweetie, we’ll blame it all on you
Scene 3
[Luke and the others enjoyed their movie and were exiting the theater when it dawned upon all of them that Spencer hadn’t responded or tried to reach them at all that afternoon]
Luke: I am getting a bit worried about him.
Fea: yeah he wasn’t at the movies at all.
Tal: I will try to call his cell.
[Tal called him but, it went directly to the answering machine. Worried filled all three of the teens faces]
Tal: This is starting to get scary, it’s like he fell off the face of the planet..
Fea: we should split up; I’ll head over to his house and see if he’s there, Tal, check our usual hangout spot and Luke see if he stayed afterschool again on one of his “GET ALL WORK DONE” trips.
Luke: okay, let’s meet back at our usual spot the big cherry tree.
[Luke headed over to their residential High School; Le coupe de mort but didn’t see any signs of life through any of the outside windows and since the faculty door was locked he assumed no one had be there. 4 hours had passed since they split up. What could have happened? Luke’s cell phone rang]
Luke: Hello?
[An authoritative voice responded]
Luke: Oh hi mom, yeah the movie was good I’m just looking around for my friend, I’ll be home soon, sorry to worry you.
[Before she could reply he hung up. As luke hung up he headed to the meet up spot, when he had reached the tree a horrid sight brought upon extreme terror in his stomach]
Luke: WHAT THE….
Scene 4
Luke: OH MY GOD FEA!!!! ARE YOU OKAY!!
[Saturated, everything was crimson; the cherries made it seem that they were the culprit of the flamboyant color but, it was blood… the blood of his friends and feas’ body was in the middle of it all, her face had been torn in half]
Luke: NO… NO… NO…!
[He began to lose grip on reality until he realized that his other friend was supposed to be there also]
Luke: TAL, where are you!?!
[Just as he got closer he felt something hit his shoulder, it was a human hand... he looked up]
Luke: *shrieked in terror: WHAT THE ******** HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS!?
[Tal was nailed to the tree from his ankles, hanging upside down with his neck exposing the collar bone within his body, his face wasn’t recognizable either due to the massive amounts of blood dripping down into the grass, Luke lost his head, and ran into the woods and back to his house]
Luke: Someone… wake me… up… from this nightmare.
[He pleaded with the ground, out of breath from the long strides he had taken to get away he took a moment to look up at how far he had ran, he had came across an alley nearby his house. Good he thought, almost home.]
Luke: What are my parents going to say...? What are we going to tell the police?
[The alley he was treading down began to glow, a green light filled the streets and instead of avoiding the mysterious light, he just proceeded… he was so close to home!]
Luke: what is this light in here?
[A blank figure formed in the light, he tried to make it out]
Luke: Hey wait, Spencer is that you… Spencer, no please... Don’t move…
[The figure fell to the ground, lifeless like a brick, he was dead, the love of his life.. gone. That wasn’t it though, his fingers were scattered everywhere, every finger had been cut from his hands right down to the knuckle]
Luke: I don’t believe it… no…
[Luke cover his mouth with his hands as tears began to stream down his face, before he knew it, he was running again in the direction of his home]
Scene 5
Luke: MOM, DAD, RAE
[Luke busted into the house screaming and crying and without a response he headed up the stairs to his parents room, his mom and dad’s door was wide open, he went inside. His fears had gotten worse; whatever has been going on happened in his own house. His mother, his father and even his baby sister were all slaughtered]
Luke: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[He had a mental breakdown, he fell on his butt and just sat there... speechless, tears flowing continuously but, no audible crying. After a few minutes, he did the first thing he could think of he picked up the phone and dialed 911]
911: Yes this is the police department state your emergency.
Luke: kiskjeod, skdkjs
911: what? I didn’t under…
[Luke hung up the phone, he couldn’t make out the words that had been coming out his own mouth. Confusion had taken over his soul, he just ran like he did before but this time he ran out his back door and into the vast forest that had been behind his house, tree after tree, hill upon hill, he kept going until he came upon a tomb. It was surrounded by various tombstones which made it easy to climb up onto, he perched himself on top of the makeshift house for the dead and buried his head into his knees]
Scene 6
[The sirens began to blare in the distance, he was close enough to his home to hear them but, it didn't send any concern or reaction to his body, he only proceeded with the story at hand]
Luke: and… now I’m here, everyone’s dead, my lover, and my parents.
Koobeton: Wow, you’ve had quite a day… Deaths surrounding your every move, the fear destroying what’s left of your soul but, you know… I have something to tell you.
Luke: huh? *he was confused... He almost sounded heartless in his reply
Koobeton: I need to show you the house I was going to visit, come down.
[Luke plopped his body off the tomb with his back facing Koobeton before Luke could turn his head to look at Koobeton he felt a sharp pain feel his chest, Koobeton had stabbed Luke in the heart through his back]
Koobeton: I’m the one who... murder...ed…
[Koobetons’ voice faded but the blood from his torso didn’t he looked down at the knife which he had thought pierced him through his back but, it didn’t. It pierced through his chest, Luke’s hand was on the knife, and he didn’t have a chance to figure out what had actually happened. His body fell into a motionless state and all life had left his body. Luke was the one, the one who just killed himself]
