Teaser for Chapter 6 of "Absolutely Cursed"

So, I’ve made a wee start in a study break I’m just having :P. Hope you all enjoy Johnny Lawrence.exe trying desperately to work.

Also, if there are any grammar mistakes, I’m so sorry- my brain is slowly being destroyed by exam prep 🤠

It was dark out, completely dark. Before their eyes, Reseda had become a Hopper painting, warm light from nearby buildings giving the trio brief, passing certainty. Pupils were blown out, desperate to gather as much information as they could while the hunting party stalked the streets of what was now Little London.

Like breath on the back of his neck, an icy breeze shot through Johnny as he watched the group’s six. Sometimes his own shadow made him jump, the silence of the night causing his brain to itch for action. He still wasn’t sure why they were here of all places, only knowing that Amanda got roughed up and Daniel took off, something out of the ordinary happening.

That’s right, neither Amanda nor Chozen had told Johnny the full story; not that they could, with Lawrence shutting them up and kicking into gear the moment he received an alarming phone call from the LaRusso household. Next thing they knew, Johnny was stuffing them into his ’93 Dodge Caravan and handing them shovels, which Chozen had politely declined, opting for his sais instead.

Now, they were creeping along a dingy street, that, at this hour, was deathly quiet. Hardly a thing moved. Johnny could almost hear his own heartbeat as he ran a hand through his golden locks, which felt damp with his own sweat. The man was nothing but a bundle of nerves and queries; particularly the latter once they had parked in Miyagi-Do.

Amanda had fallen to the ground, numbed with overwhelming dread. Chozen and Johnny had made to comfort her, but soon Lawrence had found his stomach tying itself into knots as he saw the state of the dojo.

It had been wrecked: the door kicked down, holes dug everywhere in the dirt, and the meditation room was in a state of disrepair. What made matters worse was there was blood. Old stains and fresher looking ones.

“He’s gone.” She whispered.

“We’ll find him.” Lawrence had reassured, looking at the razed remains of LaRusso’s pride and joy.

As his blue eyes darted this way and that, he spotted Chozen, who had parted from the group, squatting down.

After examining for himself, Toguchi turned to face the others, waving for them to come over.

“What is it?”

“Look.”

Chozen placed his hand in the centre of what appeared to be a large pawprint. Johnny cocked his head to one side, unsure of what to make of this.

“Daniel!” Amanda managed to fit her hand in the print too, relief washing over her, “He can’t have gone far, Chozen. This looks recent.”

“Big footprint.” The man remarked, removing his hand from the ground.

That was when Lawrence asked his first of many questions.

“I’m sorry, we’re all looking at the animal print, right?”

“Yeah.” Amanda nodded, wiping away a tear or two, a shaky laugh escaping her.

“And you’re saying that’s Daniel’s?”

“Yeah.”

Johnny looked away briefly before returning his gaze to the obvious shape of four toes and a heel pad.

“Last time I checked, Daniel was a man. Not a bear.”

“Actually,” Chozen corrected, “That’s a dog’s footprint. Bear has-”

Johnny flapped his hand, hushing Toguchi.

“Doesn’t matter what it is. I'm confident Daniel has five toes and not four.”

“He has four, now.” Chozen muttered.

“What?” Johnny’s brows furrowed, “How can he lose toes?”

“Well-”

“I think that should be the least of our worries.” Amanda shut down the conversation before it got any more cursed, “We know he was here, and we know he couldn’t have gone far.”

She pointed to a trail of tracks leading through the garden.

“Amanda,” Johnny grabbed her arm as she was about to march off, “What the fuck is going on? Why has LaRusso got bear feet? And why does Miyagi-Do look like it's been through a war?”

She sighed, turning to face him.

“You’re not gonna believe me but I swear I’m telling the truth.”

Lawrence’s eyes narrowed.

“Daniel-”

“Uh-huh…”

“-turned-”

“Okay…”

“-into-”

“Yeah.”

“-a werewolf.”

“Yup... Wait, hang on-”

And now, Johnny Lawrence found himself, with his karate and karate-adjacent buddies, out in the middle of Reseda, armed with gardening equipment, looking for a massive bear that was supposed to be Daniel.

“For last time, Amanda-san said it was a wolf.”

“I know a bear-print when I see one. Bears are big. And if that’s a wolf, Toguchi, then that’s a big-ass wolf.”

Chozen rolled his eyes.

“Also,” Johnny continued, a little condescendingly, “there are no wolves in the Valley.”

The Internet is FOREVER

When I was a child I was told that if I stepped a toe out of line it would be on my permanent record that would follow me through life and determine my future.

As we got older, we were told that our permanent record would determine which college we would get into and what kind of jobs would be open to us because of the college we went to.

By the time we were in college, we were informed that our college record would be the item that would determine what graduate school we might get into. The idea of a permanent record was tossed out the window and something we did in 3rdgrade or even some stupidity from the 11thgrade no longer haunted us.

This was in the before times when the World Wide Web was in its infancy.

Now we have a permanent record called the Internet that never forgets.

I have lost count the number of times I have heard people my age say,” I am so glad that the Internet didn’t exist when I was a kid.”

We have discovered that the stupid things we say on the Internet years ago can come back and haunt us. We can lose jobs because of something we said when we were drunk and angry many years ago. We can lose the respect of our peer group for idiocy we posted for all to see. Even things said in ‘private’ spaces on the Internet have a way of getting out into the public spaces.

My simple rule of thumb has been if I wouldn’t say it to someone’s face, then I don’t say it. If I am going to be embarrassed down the road if someone finds things I have written, it does not go on the Internet. Photos and Videos are the same thing.

My other rule is that if my parents found whatever, would I feel bad that they knew that I had done that? If the answer is yes, then it stays off the Internet. I treasure my parents respect and when they are disappointed in me I feel awful that I lost their trust and respect.

There are companies that you can hire to ‘clean up’ your Internet record but there is no guarantee that something won’t come back to haunt you.

I have seen countless times that people have said or done something stupid on the Internet and pretty quickly deleted it only to find that it is still out there because someone did a screen capture or re-tweeted it or shared it on a social media platform in the 5 seconds it was on the Internet.

More so if you have any notoriety good or bad of any sort. How many athletes have been pilloried for something they said on social media? How many actors for things that they said much earlier in their careers? No one is really ‘safe’ on the Internet.

A little paranoia is not a bad idea before you punch that share button because once you do, it’s out here forever.

I am grateful that there was no Internet when I was a teenager and rather impulsive.
