The Co. Corporation

In which my friend and I team up and do some really dope stuff

Princess

The candle flickered in the sudden draft. I rushed to it and shielded the tiny flame from the wind.

“Who's there, show yourself” I asked, No sound.

“I know you're there” my attempt to sound strong quickly fading in the night. The only thing I heard from the darkness was a small deep laugh.

“Show yourself to me” I faced the origin of the sound. My heart was almost beating out of my chest. He stepped toward me, the candle illuminating his features. He was a ghostly white, And his smile literally stretched to his ears.

“Why are you here, this is my wing of the living quart-” I demanded but he cut me off. I looked into his eyes, and they were black pits.

“Not anymore Princess” He said the deep timber of his voice shaking my barely there confidence.

“What do you mean?” I asked my voice wavering.

“The big boss is splitting your wing... I should say our wing” He smiled “better start gettin’ used to me Princess”

‘How can I do that when you look like Slenderman with eyes?’ I thought.

“Am I makin’ you nervous Princess?” He got eye level with me .

“No, I’m having a splendid time.” I said sarcastically. “And stop calling me ‘Princess’, its very demoting”

“I start moving in on Monday. See ya then, Princess” He started moving for the door. I rolled my eyes and put my hand in front of the candle as he opened it. That began a very odd time in my life.

Lasagna

“Dad?! It's time to wake up” She yelled. Her dad jumped and fell off the couch taking the dog with him. 

“Advanced calculus!” He yelled in surprise.

“Dad...” She sighed as the dog scrambled between her legs “chill out, you were on the couch” 

“Sorry, those night classes are taking a lot outta me”

“Well at least you're teaching them and not taking them” 

“True” He said “But grading the homework is very stressful”

“You're the one that gave the homework” 

“I know but-” He was cut off by a ninja.

“WHo wAnT LAsAngA?!” It screeched.

“Yo! how'd you know?” She smiled.

“I want lasagna too!!” Her dad called from the ground. 

“Lasagna! LASAGNA!” We chanted. Even the dog started chanting it. They all ate lasagna and had a very heartfelt conversation with the ninja. It was about the existence of Perry the platypus.

Dig

My rifle’s scope focused on its target. I wasn't in control of my body, my mind was locked away and screamed as it focused on the little girl. Wait that girl, I know her; she's my daughter. My mind screamed louder as my finger went to rest on the trigger. No... please, don't do this to me, no I'm begging, please. My body didn't listen; not surprising. I pulled the trigger, and the simulation stopped. I fell back on the ground burying my face in my hands. These tests were training me to be an elite super-spy. These tests were getting worse and worse; even more personal, digging in my private thoughts and memories. Making it more painful every time I was sent in. But I knew I had to get this job, my entire family was depending on me. I was just thankful that it wasn't real, that's what kept me going. I got up shaking, and a light turned on above me; a door opened, and my boss stepped inside.

“My… why are my memories in the program?” I asked

“Only to test you, to make you stronger. So no matter if it's a little girl or an old lady, you won't hesitate.” He replied

“Fine… But I keep my memories private” I said walking out the door

“As you wish” he bowed slightly. When I was out of the room he talked into the com. link in his ear: “dig deeper”

Breakfast

“I’m going to divorce this man” I near yelled “Who pours the milk THEN cereal” 

The judge gave me a disappointed look, like he was thinking ‘people get divorced over the dumbest things’.

“Cuz that’s how your supPOSED TO DO IT” My ‘husband’ yelled

“Order, there will be order in my court...now, why can't y'all just agree to never eat cereal?” The judge simply stated

“Because we’re too cheap to buy...” I shuddered “Heath food” 

“Yes, on that we agree” He nodded

The judge shook his head “Then go buy Mc Donald’s or something” 

“But that’s even more expensive” We wined in unison

“Then just buy bread and make toast” The judge replied. My ‘husband’ and I looked at each other of a second, then turned to the judge.

“Yeah, the sounds good, fine with me” We nodded and smiled at each other, then left happily married.

Kinky

This is our first...please be gentle.

I never understood the true meaning of fear until now. As her hand tightened around my throat. I squirmed around in her grasp, but it only made her tighten her grip. She leaned over and whispered in my ear:

“Kinky” And all I could do was giggle. Then, in my moment of distraction, she grinned, snapping my neck and everything went black. Then blue, red and pink and yellow. I realized I’d smashed my VR goggles on the living room wall. I took a shaky breath and collapsed on the couch, and all I could think was:

“Bruh” I walked into the kitchen to grab a pop tart, the girl from the VR still rattling around my head. I rubbed my neck absently; it all felt so real. I felt a sharp pain right under my pulse point. I ran into the bathroom and saw a bruise in the shape of a hand on my neck;

“Kinky” I whispered a serious expression on my face. I guess it was real, and real kinky.
