I stood alone in the dark alley. I was unsure of what brought me there but I knew it had to be important. Then as I leaned against the wall in the shadows I heard voices coming closer. I pulled myself further into the shadows and listened closely.

Joey:"-Mess this up I'll shove my boot so far up your ass you'll be pissin out shoe strings, got it?"

Dale:"Hey, come on Joey don't talk to your brother that way. Don't worry Phill with all those pies he's bee packin away he probably can't reach his own ass"

They broke into laughter

Joey: "Hey, I can too reach my ass ill prove it"
There was a moment of silence.
"Well look at that I guess I really can't reach my ass"
They all laughed and turned into the alleyway.

Dale: "Where is this guy?"

Phill: "He said this is where the drop was supposed to be"

At that moment a man in a dark black cloak walked from the shadows, his face buried in the darkness of his hood.

Dale: "Heh, what is this a batman movie"

The cloaked man said nothing.

Joey: "Hey get outta here before I haf'ta put a bullet through you ya."
The man still did not reply

Joey: "Alright but you asked for it"
Almost no sound came from the silenced pistol as it sliced through the mans cloak and flew back out into the ground before him as the man stood unflinching.

Phill: "He must have a bulletproof vest on, shoot him in the face."

Joey pointed the gun this time aiming for the shadowed eyes beneath the hood.
Again he pulled the trigger but this time the bullet froze in mid-flight.
A huge gust of wind exploded through the alley and the cloak was blown open. There was nothing but darkness under the cloak. Horrifying creatures began to claw their way from the shadow form of this monster.
A deep booming voice erupted from beneath its hood. "YOUR TIME HAS COME"
A massive skeletal hand reached from the body of pure black and wrapped the three men in its dead, icy grip. Their faces turned a ghostly white and their screams of terror shattered glass as they were dragged into the dark abyss that can only be described as hell. I ducked around the corner in hopes that whatever it was didn't notice me. After a few moments of silence I slowly looked around the corner and saw nothing. I let out a sigh of relief and closed my eyes as I leaned against the wall.

When I opened my eyes again the sun was out and it looked to be early noon. I stood an noticed there was something on my wrist. It looked like some kind of tribal tattoo and it wouldn't rub off.

I walked into my apartment wondering if what happened
