Katherine slid open the red door of her house.
"Come in quick!" She went inside. Daniel and Virgil followed her. Daniel looked around examining the house. He saw parchment of papers scattered all around its dirty white tiled floor. The bright yellow ceiling is filled with dusty cobwebs. Stacks of wooden boxes are scattered at every corner.
"You have a pretty neat place," Daniel commented.
"I'm sorry. This place is a mess. I don't have time to clean it," Katherine picked up a few pieces of paper from the floor.
"Don't apologize Katherine. It is kind enough of you to provide a temporary shelter for us," said Virgil.
Katherine smiled.
"Do you want to come with us?" Virgil asked Katherine."If you'll take me out of this world then I will come with you." Katherine accepted Virgil's invitation without any sign of hesitation."Alright! We'll be on our foot first thing in the morning!" the cat said, cheerfully.After eating dinner, the three of them slept. Daniel slept at the couch. Virgil slept at the floor. Katherine slept at the bed in her room. The night is silent, at least inside the house. A lot of chaos are occurring outside. There are people running around, chasing one another, carrying dangerous weapons such as, axe, sword, machete, and even guns. The loud screams of people being hurt echoes throughout the city. The sound of firing guns echoed as well. For the entire night, it was noisy, but as
The next morning, the three of them continued walking. Daniel stumbled upon a couple of rocks, hurting his toe. He accidentally stepped on Virgil's tail."Watch it Moron!" Virgil yelled."Sorry not sorry." Daniel looked at the cat, smirking."So. What are we expecting at the end of this tunnel?" Katherine asked, hoping for an answer that she will like."Chaos, Katherine, chaos," Virgil replied in a threatening voice."That doesn't sound assuring!" Katherine zoned out as she imagines the possible scenes that might be waiting for them."We're in hell Katherine. A lot of chaos awaits us," said
Katherine and Daniel looked at Virgil."No fucking way. We can't climb it," said Daniel, trying to decline the cat's suggestion."Daniel's right. It's too high!" Katherine agreed.The cat bursts into laugher."What's funny?" Daniel asked maintaining a poker face."I just couldn't believe you'd actually believe me." the cat continued laughing.Katherine lets out a sigh of relief while Daniel laughed, sarcastically."So how are we going to get through?" Katherine asked, scratching her head.
Pleasure, desire, lust and an overflowing amount of romance, all these things are found in the city of Insexus. Living in this city requires impenetrable resistance, for every single day, a strong storm is ravaging throughout the city, trying to blow everything it meets on its way. Despite experiencing this cold and harsh weather condition, people in this city are still doing some activities that fires up even the coldest heart. The flames of desire burns, endlessly. Not even a single blow of wind could extinguish it. Daniel, Katherine and Virgil emerged from the tunnel. They were greeted by the strong blow of wind, raging over a long and empty deserted road, surrounded by establishments that has western touch. "Lets look for something to eat first," Virgil suggested.
Virgil looked at Daniel. "Are you feeling lucky today?" she asked. She looked back the gambling tables. "I guess. I could put my luck to a test." Daniel replied. The two of them walked towards the gambling table. Katherine goes after them. "Where are you guys going?" She asked. "We're going to see if luck is going to be in our favor," Virgil replied "We can't risk loosing our money!" Katherine gets in their way. "That's right!" Virgil threw the bag of coins to Daniel. He caught it mid air. She looked around and notices that there are coins scattered on the floor and no one seems to be looking for
The woman at the table has a slim and curvy body. She has deep pleading gray eyes, long straight black hair, and pouty red lips."Would you like to gamble With me? Handsome?" the woman asked, referring to Daniel.Daniel looked at the woman, examining her. The woman's gray eyes became hollow for a few millisecond. Daniel's eyes on the other hand dilated as he stare at the woman's eyes."I would love to gamble with you goddess," Daniel lost control of his body. He walked towards the woman. Virgil and Katherine followed him."Are you sure about this?" Virgil asked, knowing that there is something wrong.Daniel did not respond. He continued walking towards the woman until he approached her. Katherine sat at the chair next to him. Virgil leaps into her lap."We're going to play high pair!" The woman seductively caressed Daniel's shoulder."We are going to play high pair," Daniel said mo
The people went back inside the bar, frustrated. The otters kept singing. This time they are singing "Stayin' Alive" by Bee Gees. The guards and the homunculus, gained back their consciousness. The man who talked to Katherine at the slot machine stood at one of the gambling tables. "We have failed in pursuing the titular travelers!" the man announced. "If thee founds out we are all doomed, this entire bar is doomed." The man gets down from the table. The disappointment he feels is unbearable. The muscular man who gambles with Daniel and Virgil earlier approached the man. "We must try hard to keep this a fucking secret, " he said. "You're damn right," the man agreed. The homunculus stood up. "Actually there's still hope." She wiped the dirt in her hands. Her arms turned into wings and her body shrank. She grew feathers too and her mouth turned into beak. She transfigured herself into a crow. She walked toward the exit. "I
They began walking around, navigating their way through the giant boulders. Daniel and Katherine kept their hoods on. They bumped into some people who are walking at opposite directions. They kept on walking until they arrived at a marketplace. The stalls around the market are made out of bricks. Meat and vegetable products are displayed at the stalls. A lot of people are walking around ,carrying bags. They felt the ground rumbled. They looked around and saw a man riding a circular vehicle made out of rocks. People around them are transacting with the merchants. The man riding the vehicle approached them. He handed them a scroll. Daniel grabs it. He unrolled it and saw their cartographic sketch. "Oh shit! We've been compromised!" He showed the scroll to Katherine and Virgil. "We have to move quickly," sai
