This choice: Russell is in the jail infirmary • Go Back...Chapter #2Russell is in the jail infirmary by: Unknown ''Oooh my head.'', Russell groaned. He blinked a few times, his eyes adjusting to the stark brightness of white neon lamp on the ceiling just above him. He looked around and greeted by the familiar white interior and antiseptic smell, he closed his eyes again.
Russell woke up again, but this time from the repeated calling of his name, by a voice that he barely recognize. ''Russell...'', the enigmatic voice called out again.
Russell jerked up, ''What?!'', he exclaimed angrily. To his surprise, the old gypsy man was standing in front of him, but he was more surprised that the gypsy was somehow semi-transparent and naked. Russell looked at his own self and muttered, ''Oh crap.'', as he saw that he himself was also semi transparent. His physical body beside him, not breathing as with the old gypsy's physical body not far nearby. He could see infirmary nurses busily attending to the immobile bodies, passing through his and the gypsy's body as if they were thin air.
''What the fuck?!'', Russell muttered again.

''What happened to me? To us?'', said Russell. He and the gypsy was sitting atop one of the desk, watching the nurses trying to resuscitate their physical body. Moments ago, the gypsy had taught him that this form, or astral projection as commonly known required concentration.
''Look at them...'', the gypsy smirked.
''We can't save them.'', a male nurse stated plainly. Some of the other staffs shook their head and stopped administering defib on the dead bodies. Others looked at the clock and noted the time of the death. ''Very peculiar...'', the male nurse muttered to himself, before he went out the infirmary. A female nurse instructed the other nurses left in the room to clean up and call the morgue, before she soon followed the male nurse. There were murmuring in the room as the two dead bodies wheeled out.
''So... if what you said was true... I can possess other people's body?'', said Russell, clearly concerned about his predicament.
''Well. Yes, to an extent.'', the gypsy smiled at him.
''So, like that girl over there?'', Russell pointed at a female nurse staying behind. She was of an Africa-America lineage and was slightly chubby and short, not to mention rather plain in appearance and frizzed hair.
''I take it that you wanted a demo?'', said the gypsy. He walked over to the nurse and calmly put his hand through her body, which seemed to absorb it. The gypsy then finished by hopping into her body, disappearing completely from sight. The female nurse shuddered, her hand scrambled to reach a desk and leaned on it for balance. A few panting breath later, she looked straight at Russell, a smirk appeared on her face. She took a paper weight and thumped it on another female nurse's head, with a groan, she crumpled to the floor, unconscious. Other nurses immediately restrained the possessed female. She struggled and let out a high pierced shriek but went limp almost immediately and to Russell's astonishment, the old gypsy phased through her body, passed through other nurses and staffs and walked back to Russell.
''That's what you get for putting me inside that jacket.'', the old gypsy sneered at the unconscious female on the floor.
Russell was convinced of his new power... indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
