Re zero if I was spawned &(*U)

Jack got in the turn lane and decided he was going to grab a snickers bar on the way home. He laughed at the look on the driver of the truck. Jack didn’t have a weapon in his glove box. Well technically he did, he had a knife so he could cut his seatbelt out. But he didn’t have a gun, it’s funny how paranoid people are, Jack thought to himself. Then he thought of his own character and realized the irony of that statement. Jack slipped the knife in his pocket as he always did when getting food or filling the tank of his car. He opened the door and put the king-sized snickers bar on the counter. “Is that all?” said the cashier as always. “Yep,” said Jack as he stuck his debit card in the machine and punched in the code. Jack walked out the door opening the candy bar and taking a bite. It was dark out around 9:30 pm but suddenly the sun was out as if it were morning. Jack’s eyes hadn’t adjusted yet he closed them in disbelief. Jack looked at his snickers bar intently. Trying to find out where someone put a hole in the snickers bar wrapper to insert a drug or something. No hole. Jack looked ahead. People were all over the place walking down the street. It was as crowded as a high school hallway. But a big High School, not Jack’s Catholic school. He then saw a lizard human and stared at the lizard human intently. The lizard human turned around to give Jack a mean stare but then walked forward muttering to himself “discrimination will never end”

He realized everyone was dressed very differently from him. He thought about what that lizard man said. Jack’s thoughts started to rush. How is it possible he’s a lizard human? No no He is not a lizard human maybe he’s just in a really good costume. How did I offend him? Maybe he’s a part of one of those 50 genders and he thought I assumed his gender, Yea, and that’s why he’s dressed up as a lizard. But wait I didn’t even say how are doing sir or anything. Then I am back at square one. I spent too much time thinking about this. There’s a break in people walking. Jack walks forward then zones out still trying to figure out what’s going on. There are a few people waiting in front of Jack. Subconsciously walk forward as the person in front of Jack does a few steps. You do so again but barely realize it. Still deep in thought, Jack hears the snapping of someone’s fingers “hey are you going to buy it” Jack looks up to someone holding an apple to his face. Just then someone pushes past Jack. “Sorry,” she says in a high-toned voice Jack can only describe as sweet. A blue-haired girl in a maid’s outfit is in front of Jack. Jack almost goes to grab her hand out of instinct but Jack stops himself. “Three apples please,” she says as she puts three apples in a paper bag as she hands the man who was holding an apple in his face a few coins. She then says “do you  know where the spices are?” The man says “yea sure....” then proceeds to give directions.  zone out of the listing and focus on the maid. After what felt like half a second he finishes explaining “thank you ” she says in the same sweet tone as before. As she turns Jack taps her on the shoulder. She looks at Jack surprised. Jack focuses on her face; he feels a slight euphoria just looking at her. Jack is caught in a trance staring at her till her voice breaks Jack out of that trance “what” she says in a tone of annoyance. Jack quickly focuses and says “excuse me what’s his name?” She gives a more confused look but then her pupils dilate she loses focus for half a second then quickly responds “it’s rem” she walks off immediately almost runs. Rem repeats the name in his mind over and over again for a little bit till another voice breaks his thought “Are you going to buy it!” The apple salesman says with annoyance. “Yea sure” Jack pulls out his wallet in the right pocket. Jack quickly wiped out a dollar. “Here,” Jack says. “What is this?” The salesman says. “What are you too good for it? It's a perfectly good dollar” Jack remembers that’s a line from a movie (The Mean Streets 1973). “What is a dollar? Do you get any copper? Or silver?” He says confused but a bit angry. Jack reaches deep in his pocket and grabs a nickel and a penny then hands it to him. The apple salesman stares deeply at the two coins. During his confusion, Jack snatches the apple out of his hand and walks off.

Biting the apple Jack looks at the signs and realizes he can’t read any of them. He takes a bite of the apple. Jack wanders around for a bit until he just got tired of walking. He sees an alleyway and sits down to eat his apple. Three figures appear. Jack hears them talking “ok ok we got this one, the other one was a fluke,” says one “it’s not every day a random elf interrupts a mugging,” says another one with a deeper voice. “The guy didn’t even have any money anyway,” said a much higher-pitched voice. “The witch-looking elf could have had money. She was wearing clothes that I think the government wears,” said the first voice. “I think it is the clothes of a rich family clan,” said the high-pitched one. “We could have kidnapped her and held her for ransom then,” Said the deep voice. “But do we really know how to kidnap? We have never done that before,``said the first voice but he was close enough to be visible he had white hair skinny. The deep voice was a real big guy and the high pitch was a little one. “Give us what you got!” yelled out the short thug. “Here's a dollar,” Jack said, pulling out a dollar bill. The little one picked it up and stared at the unfamiliar United States currency. Jack pulled out the knife covertly setting it on his lap. His heart rate started to race. Jack put his finger on the small lever that released the blade. The little one looked down at him and said “hey what is th-”. Cutting him off mid sentence Jack uppercut with the knife making a vertical cut to the short thug to the thug's stomach lifting him off the ground. It confused Jack because the small man was way lighter than expected as if he was made of feathers. Hopping up off the ground from where he was sitting also felt effortless like gravity was less or something. In this very brief moment of confusion, Jack saw for a quick second someone’s knuckles then white. A white flash was in Jack’s vision as he was hit hard in the eye. This was followed by the immediate throbbing pain you feel when hit in the eye. This blow knocked Jack back into a sitting position. Explosively Jack got up again blindly lounging with his knife. But The big thug barely got away leaving a small cut where the tip of the blade entered. The Big thug leaned in a little through a quick jab right to Jack’s forehead. Jack took a step back on the step he was sitting on making him slightly taller. Jack opened his left eye and a little thug was on the ground. A big thug had his fists up and white haired thug had pulled out two knives. Jack bent his knees as if he was shooting a basket and jumped off the step stabbing the knife into the big thug’s neck. He saw the big thug eye to eye and he was furious. The big thug immediately started punching Jack, hitting him multiple times in the ribs. Jack still helplessly clinging to his knife for dear life felt a clean poke to the right side of his abdomen. Pain immediately followed. The barrage of strikes kept coming from the bigger thug. Jack put his feet firmly on the ground and started yanking on the blade. While enduring an onslaught of punches and stabs Jack yanked and yanked on the neck. In real-time, this was probably a few seconds but the pain made it feel like hours. Jack stumbled back as he got the knife back to him. The big thug’s throat was opened he immediately stopped punching and clasped on to it gasping for. Jack felt someone grab his collar. It was the white-haired thug and he immediately started stabbing Jack in the stomach. Jack in retaliation stabs the thug in the stomach as well at one point they are in sync with the stabbing. The now last thug lets go of Jacks’ collar and brings the knife he was holding simultaneously across Jack's neck leaving a very shallow cut. The thug lets go of the blade in Jack and pulls away. He turns around and starts to run, holding onto his stomach. This enrages Jack and he screams “you coward! You fucking coward!! Come back here coward!” Jack leans back and falls on his back. Jack feels very dizzy and almost intoxicated. Jack feels the warm liquid oozing from him creating a pool around him. At this point pain just feels normal because he’s been feeling pain from all over the place. His vision starts to fade, He fights to stay awake but fails. Jack's eyes closed. Several seconds go by in a complete abyss. Jack is awake in line to buy an apple
