December 10, 2018
To anyone who finds this journal and has already noticed that I'm from the future, bear in mind that I'm from another dimension in which the events that happen in this story did not happen in my country's history. Meaning that while the events that have happened are real, they weren't real in my world.
But here's a little backstory of my life.
At the time of this entry, I'm 28 years old, 6' tall, 200 pounds and an average build. And so, you all know what I look like, I'm a Caucasian with brown hair and blue eyes. And preferably I liked having facial hair but because of the job I had, I either had to keep it short or had to shave it frequently.
I had just returned home from work. It was another long night at the job. But the job paid well and the people I worked for appreciated what I do for them. I worked the night shift 5 nights a week and I usually slept during the day. My usually routine was that I would come home, take care of the pets, get something to eat, take a shower and then go to sleep. Sometimes I would play a game before I go to bed. And ever since Red Dead Redemption 2 came out, I've been unable to put It down. I had already beaten the game once and I wanted to see what would happen if I had made some different changes.
After I took care of the pets and got some breakfast, I decided to play for a while before I took a shower. I had just started a new game and was watching the opening cutscene when all the sudden I started to feel really dizzy. At first, I thought it was because I was tired. But there have been times where I didn't go to bed until noon, so I knew it wasn't that. I then thought maybe I ate something funny, but It wasn't anything I didn't normally eat in the morning. The last thing I remember was that I fell back into my bed and I lost consciousness.
When I awoke, I found myself laying on the floor and I was in another city. But it was a lot smaller than Manhattan and It looked as if it wasn't finished being built yet. Buildings were still under construction and there was more space than anything in Manhattan.
When I stood up, I realized that I was still wearing the clothes I was wearing when I lost consciousness. I was wearing a black Express shirt, a pair of jeans and my timberland boots. I also still had my wallet, my keys, pocket knife and my cellphone in my pockets. I reached for my cellphone and called my dad but there was no answer. It said the number I was calling wasn't in service. I tried calling my mom, my sister and my brother-in-law and got the same results.
I turned off my phone and decided to ask anyone around If they could help me. As I started to look around, I had a feeling that I was in some real deep shit. Because when I looked at the people in the town, I realized that they were all wearing clothes like the ones you would see in a spaghetti western or any other western movie for that matter.
I had turned the corner of the street when I bumped into a young lady. She had reddish brown hair, freckles on her face and the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen on a woman.
”Beg your pardon miss.”
”No trouble at all sir.”
But as she was turning the corner, I couldn't help but feel as if I've seen her before. I was about to continue my way when I heard screaming coming from the direction I had just left. I ran back and saw the young lady being held by the throat by another man. The man had the look of a thug. Someone you didn't want to mess with. He looked all muscles and little to no brains. He was about 6'6 feet tall. I heard him say to her:
”You little bitch! You think you can steal from me and get away with it?!”
”I haven't taken anything from you sir! Now please let me go! You're hurting me!”
”Oh, I'm about to do a lot more than hurt you! Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to damage your pretty face. The rest of your body, on the other hand, I intend to do a lot to.”
As soon as I heard that, and I saw the way he looked at her, I knew I had to do something. No matter where I was, I would try to help someone. It was in my nature to help anyone in need. I stepped out and shouted:
”Hey!”
He turned around and saw me standing with a small pocket knife in my hand.
”Put the lady down and walk away.”
The let her go and said to me:
”F_u_c_k off freak! This is none of your business!”
”You are holding that little lady and what you plan to do to her makes it my business.”
”Why? Do you know her?!”
”No. But if there's anything I hate more in this world is a bully. And you're nothing more than bully who's so ugly he'd make a hippo look beautiful.”
He let her go and started walking in my direction.
”Say that again.”
”I said: ”the hippo called! He wants his body back!”
”All right freak. Now you have my attention.”
I saw him pull something from his belt. I could tell that he was holding a Bowie knife. And I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. For all my tough talk, I've never actually been in a knife fight before and this guy looked like he knew how to use it. But there was no going back now. I hoped that because I was smaller than him, it would give me an advantage. I was about to find out. I flicked my fingers and taunted him to come at me.
He came at me bellowing like a grizzly bear and swung his knife to cut my throat. As if on instinct, I ducked under him and stabbed him in the shoulder. Now he was mad. He bellowed with rage and grabbed my wrist and tried to stab me in the c_h_e_s_t. Using my other hand, I grabbed his wrist and tried to hold it back. But It was getting closer.
”Once Im finished with you, I'm going to take my sweet time with her.”
That gave me my second wind. I moved my right leg so that the knife went past my head. I then grabbed him by the shoulders and head butted him. I said to myself:
”That wasn't a good idea. They make it look so easy in the movies.”
I was starting to feel dizzy again, but I had to keep going. Unfortunately, the thug was back on his feet and charging at me before I could see clearly. He charged at me with such force that it had me on my back and pinned to the ground. He started to punch me in the face and in my c_h_e_s_t. I thought he was going to beat me to death. And then found his knife and held It above me.
With one arm holding me down and the other holding the knife above my c_h_e_s_t, I punched him in the face and held his wrist with my one free hand. I knew I drew blood because I could see it coming from his mouth. Once again, it was getting closer to my c_h_e_s_t and unlike before, I couldn't move my legs as he had those pinned down as well. My first knife fight and not only was I was going to lose the fight, but I was also about to lose my life. I closed my eyes and prepared for the final blow.
I then heard a roar of pain. The man released me and put his hands on his side. I realized that there was a fresh stab wound there. I saw the young lady holding my pocket knife and there was blood on it.
”Now you're really going to get hurt you little cunt!”
He ran straight towards her. Without any hesitation or any other thoughts in my mind, I grabbed his knife and ran after him. Just he was about to grab her, I jumped on his back and started stabbing him in the c_h_e_s_t. He continued to roar in pain and tried to reach for me, but I continued to stab him. After stabbing him six times in the c_h_e_s_t, I stabbed him in the neck and his body collapsed to the floor face first.
I warily stood up and after removing the knife from his neck, I asked her I she was all right. She nodded.
”I'm very glad to hear that.”
I smiled. Luckily, all my teeth were still there. But I had a cut lip and my mouth was hurting. Along with my face and my c_h_e_s_t. I knelt and helped her up to her feet.
”And thank you. For saving my life.”
”Well thank you for coming to my rescue.”
She kissed me on the cheek. I blushed. But after the adrenalin rush, my injuries were starting to take their toll. The last thing I remember was falling and her arms catching me. I vaguely remember hearing voices shouting:
”Help! Someone please help! This man has been hurt!”
I heard footsteps approaching and then, everything turned black.
Author Notes
Greetings my fellow outlaws! This is my first ever Red Dead Redemption story. I've seen a lot of stories where either Arthur is given a second chance in life or someone is transported to the past and becomes a part of the history of RDR. I thought I would do something a little different. I wanted my character to be transported into the game but in their world, it's all history. So, I thought it was a neat idea worth trying.
The name I chose for my character is a combination of Thomas Jane and Colt White. For those of you who don't know, Thomas Jane, who played as Frank Castle in the 2004 Punisher movie, also did the voice Colt White in the GUN video game, a criminally underrated western game.
