Chapter 27 Strange Energy (1/2)

Laz went upstairs to his apartment and closed the door. Sitting down on the old recliner, he leaned back and let out a stale breath.

'What the fuck was going on?'

It was a question that was burning through his head. So far he's been hijacked by a crazy hot masochist cosplayer who's probably not human, chased through a forest by a gun toting old crackpot, fought with and killed a fat neighbor and his monster snake dick and was now going to work for a drug dealer's family.

'How did I end up here?'

There wouldn't be answers anytime soon.

He brought his right hand up in front of his face, opening his clenched fist and taking a closer look. He had a feeling about it earlier after the fight and was only able to confirm it when he took off the gloves.

On his hand was specks of a glowing green light that seemed to be imprinted into his skin. It wasn't something that he could wipe off and didn't seem like it would be going away any time soon. It was like he had stuck his hand into a bucket of glitter and the glitter didn't come off.

Looking at the little specks that covered his hand, Laz was at a bit of a loss. He didn't know how they got there or why they were there. The only thing he knew was that his body seemed to respond to them like his hand had a bunch of ants on it.

It kind of tickled and yet didn't itch. It was a weird feeling that wasn't going away.

Thinking back, he knew he didn't have them before he went into the apartment so that only left that he got them somewhere in the apartment. But what could they have possibly come from?

Thinking over the list in his head, he only really touched a few things with his palms. It was either the wall, the floor, or the giant mutated dong.

He spent less than a second to come up with the answer, but that lead to only more questions.

He didn't have the feeling when he was fighting it initially and his hand touched it more than once. The only time the feeling began was when he had finally ripped it apart like taffy.

Originally, he just thought it was the strangeness of the creature, but now he felt like it might be more than that as he got a somewhat empowered feeling through his body thanks to those weird specks of light.

Closing his eyes, he focused on the vibes going through him over and over again and he was able to conclude that they originated from his hand. Knowing that one plus one equals two, he very quickly linked the two things together.

Somehow, those light specks caused his bodies energy to feel stronger and more active. It gave him a feeling of having worked out for hours over and over again.

He had to admit it, it was a good feeling. Refreshing and empowering all at once. As he sat there, he leaned back even more and let the waves of energy rush through him, like ocean waves crashing against an embankment.

'Even climaxing while masturbating didn't feel this refreshing,' Laz had to admit to himself.

Although it was already late, Laz sat there in the chair and didn't move while he felt his body growing tighter and tighter, almost as though it was growing stronger by losing excess flesh.

If someone where to be watching him at this moment, they would see ripple like vibrations move across his skin, over and over again.

When the finally felt the ripples calm down, he noticed it was already past midnight. Looking at his hand again, he noticed that the weird green specks of light were no longer covering his palm.

'Least that's over with.'

Knowing that he would be dealing with school in the morning and not know when he would be contacted by Tony's cousin, Laz decided to head back into his bedroom, get undressed and go to sleep.

He had no idea what kind of things were going to happen next.

Tony walked back to his apartment and as he expected, it was unlocked. Walking inside, he saw that Desi was still sitting on the sofa like nothing had changed and was watching the TV report about the tree.

”Although no further news or instructions are currently forthcoming, the only thing the government has agreed on and issued a statement about was that the tree would now be officially called Yggdrasil owing to both the fact that it is the popular name being used worldwide and because they couldn't keep just calling it the tree.”

”Do you believe this shit? Calling it some mythical legend crap cause they can't explain it so that when they do figure it out, the guys can stand around and circle jerk each other like they did something important,” Desi commented, although it wasn't really meant for anyone.

Turning over to look at Tony, she had a frown and was obviously displeased about something.

”You took a while.”

”Things happened. I told the guys to send you some pictures once they had a chance.”
