BLOODY HORIZON CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
°°° Domain of Cheesy °°° • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania • -Walker Residence- Sean sat in his room upstairs, his ears plugged, while his PC loaded up a webpage. He had arrived home a few minutes past five, quickly toasted some bread, grabbed a jar of strawberry jam, and ran upstairs, popping open one of the three cans of Pepsi he’d bought on the way back. He had only skimmed through the card Karen had given him on their date in Louisville a couple times after returning to Philadelphia. He looked intently at it this time, muttering the name of the studio to himself. He quickly typed it into the search bar. "Fight to Fitness Studio Tournaments" The first thing to appear was a map of a region of Louisville, Kentucky, with a few locations highlighted, including the Fight to Fitness Studio. Sean ignored the map and clicked on the website of the studio. He skimmed through and saw what interested him—a highlighted phrase talking about tournaments t

°°° Job Seeker °°° The rays of the afternoon sun shone into Sean’s room through the windows. The blue-eyed lad sat at his desk, seriously going through the registration process for the Domain of Warriors tournament. Mr. Melvin had later called to inform him that the hosts of the competition had set up a venue in Pittsburgh, seeing as one of Sean’s reasons for hesitation was distance. After considering the pros and cons, as well as a half-hour video call with Jason and Karen to try to decide, Sean decided to go for it. After reading virtually everything the site offered, from the terms and conditions of the site to the rewards and means of advancing in the tournament, It was weird. a tournament with such benefits, but it was like something planned by amateurs. He felt there should have been stages: regional, state, and national. After three years of existence, he was shocked that they hadn’t matured. Sean suddenly froze as he noticed something else. "The registration

°°° Half Truth °°° "How was work, Mom?" Sean asked, sitting at dinner with his mother. "It was... well, it was work... but it was okay." "Oh and Mr. Anderson says high." "... thought he was discharged like yesterday or something?" Sean was quite confused. Mr. Anderson was the one who helped him get a membership slot at a dojo some years back. He was a good friend of his mother’s, and during the past six months, he’d been her patient. "Yeah, he was." "He just came around to visit," Kate smiled. "After spending six months in the hospital, he seems to be finding it a bit difficult to get back into society," she explained. "Oh, that makes sense," Sean nodded in thought. "Well… How was your day? "You stayed home all day?" "Nope," Sean’s voice had a tone of excitement as the discussion quickly went in his desired direction. "Well, I spent most of it at home, but I later went to Carlos’ place." "Carlos was home today?" Kate held her cutlery suspended just above the meal. She had heard

°°° The Initiation °°° • Carl’s Automotive Repairs and Accessories • Sean alighted the cab he’d boarded and walked to the shop’s entrance. It was only seven twenty-five in the morning. The auto shop didn’t officially open until nine o’clock daily, but seeing as he needed a complete job briefing and needed to familiarize himself with the faculties and equipment, Carlos asked him to be at the shop an hour before the shop was to be opened for the workers to perform the routine cleanup and arrangements before the commencement of the day. "Wish me good luck, babe," Sean spoke into his phone, looking at the name of the company placed at the top of the building. Carl’s Automotive Repairs and Accessories suddenly had more weight than ever before. He cut the call after telling Karen he loved her, took a long, deep breath, and walked forward to the half-open building. "Hey yo, migo," Malone waved at him upon seeing him. "Good morning, Malone," Sean felt a bit relieved by the fact th

°°° Call Counts °°° Sean bent a little to catch his breath. It was forty-five minutes past seven in the morning, and he’d been running non-stop for the past hour and sixteen minutes. He stretched out a little and looked at the beautiful but weird cloud in the skies. Looking closer, he saw a "flying saucer"-shaped cloud. With a chuckle, he took out his phone and took a picture just before the shape was altered. He admired the picture and quickly added some text to it. "Moments with you are magical." "It leaves an inexplicable sensation in my heart," he read out the text he’d edited onto the picture and forwarded it to Karen. "But you haven’t really spent any time "with" her, have you?" He laughed inwardly, shook his head, and ran off, heading back home. "Time spent on the calls still counts," he consoled himself as he ran home. • Louisville Kentucky • -May William’s Residence- Sitting in the living room while her aunt prepared breakfast, Karen sat

°°° Test of Might °°° • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania • -Carl’s Automotive Repairs And Accessories- Sean sat in the break room having lunch. He hadn’t spoken to Jason in a while. "You are becoming a bad friend, homie." "Bros first, bros first!" he yelled in his head. Picking up his phone, he dialed Jason’s number. After a while, Jason picked His voice sounded groggy as he said, "Hello." "Are you just waking up?" Sean was stunned. "Yeah, what is the time?" Jason yawned. "Dude, it’s already one in the afternoon." "How could you sleep for this long?" "I was tired, bro," Jason laughed. "I've been trying to get back into shape and stuff. "Besides my parents left with Andrew this morning after breakfast, so I was able to cash in on my sleepless nights from last week." "Sorry for waking you then," Sean laughed. "Heheh… So how are you doing at work? "I didn’t call yesterday to find out about your first day experience because I figured you would be tired," Jason explained with an

°°° Jerk °°° Sean’s place was too far from the turn he took. And in less than five minutes, he could already make out his front porch. He quickly took his phone out of his pocket. They’d closed up shop late today, with the last customer leaving almost twenty-five minutes past five in the evening. After arrangements and the after-work cleaning as well as the "Saturday Shares," as they called them, they’d only been able to leave the auto shop a couple minutes past six, and since he’d decided to walk home from the shop, another thirty to forty minutes had passed. He was wondering just how many times his mom would have tried to reach him. If she stopped calling, it was going to be because she’d contacted Carlos, and he explained. He had the phone on mute, so there was no way he would have been distracted while working. Quickly going through his messages, he had a message from his mom at just past four, asking what he wanted for dinner. He was stumped that he’d lost t

°°° Safety First °°° Stepping out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and another hanging over his shoulders, the blue-eyed lad walked to his phone and opened it. He had just returned from his morning run, but he wasn’t able to run with himself feeling sore from Carl’s Auto Shop's "Saturday Rush Hour" and trying to pacify himself to stop his thoughts from raging, constantly reminding himself of his promise to himself and his mother. Even now, he was still having thoughts about going back on his words. "How can a grown man be so... juvenile?" Sean couldn’t help but grumble with a frown as he thought about Boris’ actions the previous night. "I mean, even though Sarah can be playful, this guy is just darn stupid." Making fun of a kid at work... "I'm getting revenge by getting my mom to arrive late—even Sarah wouldn’t," he said suddenly, freezing as he realized something. "Oh shit… "I haven’t called her back," his eyes widened. He had just remembered that Sarah was also
