Dust: Part 19

The Start Previous Part The nausea attacks were definitely going away. This time it had barely been anything. He didn’t even end up actually vomiting, although he had felt like it a couple times. That was nice, especially because work had called and they were going to be opening again on Wednesday. Although, if the […]

Dust: Part 18

The Start Previous Part “Crap… crap… crap… crap… CRAP!” Rick exclaimed as he ran down the sidewalk. “Oh man, This… this is all my fault!” He stopped in front of his house to catch his breath for a moment. “I puffed him up… by calling him a superhero… and made him feel invincible.” Entering his […]

Dust: Part 17

The Start Previous Part After Rick and Keegan exited the building, Rick went to get a closer look at the mark he had seen on the sidewalk. “Are you really that interested in a black spot on a sidewalk?” teased Keegan. “I was just wondering what it is…” “Well, the sun’s starting to get low, […]

Dust: Part 16

The Start Previous Part Keegan watched as equipment was packed into vehicles and the tent was taken down. He was trying to identify whatever he could in hopes that there would be something that would shed some light on… something. He didn’t really know what, which made it rather difficult. He did this for several […]

Dust: Part 15

The Start Previous Part Keegan arrived at the building without any unusual occurrences. Earlier that would’ve been a good thing, but now he actually wanted the woods thing to happen again. Funny how that works, first he’s annoyed because it keeps happening, now he’s annoyed because it hasn’t happened yet. Anyway, Rick wasn’t there yet, […]

Dust: Part 14

The Start Previous Part “Do you think it’d be safe to go back to that roof?” “IDK, why?” “I’d like to get another look at the site, with the binoculars this time.” “Oh, right. You didn’t get to use them last time…” “So what do you think?” “Even if the government isn’t watching I’m not […]

Dust: Part 13

The Start Previous Part When it had finally subsided, Keegan noted that the nausea attack hadn’t struck him quite as badly this time, perhaps his body was adapting to whatever it was that it was doing. That or he was just getting used to throwing up all the time. Man, if this didn’t let up […]

Dust: Part 12

The Start Previous Part For a moment he just stood there, staring blankly into space. “What…” He began upon snapping to, “Uh… It happened again, dangit.” This whole randomly-snapping-to-in-the-woods thing was starting to get rather annoying. “Let’s see, I went to Rick’s place, I convinced him to put off his superhero plans, we spent some […]

Dust: Part 11

The Start Previous Part This wasn’t a place Keegan often went of his own volition, but if they wanted to keep this a secret phone conversations were probably a bad idea. He had the feeling Rick was probably doing some sort of a preparatory task, which needed to stop. For once he was going to […]

Dust: Part 10

The Start Previous Part Rick got a bit more sleep, but not much. He was just too excited. Keegan was, like, a superhero! He was going to need an outfit and some catch phrases and some crimes to fight and some signature moves and… Did Keegan know any fighting moves? Rick decided he would have […]

Dust: Part 9

The Start Previous Part “So now what are you going to do?” Keegan asked as Rick finished setting up his dad’s old microscope. “I need to take a blood sample.” replied Rick. “How are you going to do that? What are you going to do with it?” “Needle, and I’m gonna look at it under […]

Dust: Part 8

The Start Previous Part Keegan awoke at a little after midnight. Any sickness he had earlier had subsided, and due to the time he went to bed he was unable to go back to sleep. Thus he decided to play some games and browse the internet for a while. It was almost 4 and he […]

Dust: Part 7

The Start Previous Part Rick knew he shouldn’t be checking over his shoulder for government agents every five seconds but he couldn’t help it. I’m, like, a fugitive! He thought. He looked over his shoulder again. Gaaa! This is it… Wait no, that’s just the mailman. He also knew he was probably blowing the situation […]

Dust: Part 6

The Start Previous Part For a moment he just stood there, staring blankly into space. “What was I just doing?” He asked himself upon snapping to, and for a few seconds he tried in vain to produce an answer. “Hold on…” Much to his befuddlement, he once again found himself in the woods behind his […]

Dust: Part 5

The Start Previous Part “I’ll meet you on the roof.” Rick told his friend as he entered the bathroom to care for his hand. “Alright, don’t take too long.” Keegan replied. The flat, empty roof greeted him with a strong, chilly breeze. “Whoof, I almost need a jacket. Heh, good thing I don’t have a […]

Dust: Part 4

The Start Previous Part Rick had just been telling his coworker Keegan about the theories about the quarantine zone around their workplace when he noticed that Keegan was doing his spacing out thing again. “Earth to Keegan, you listening?” Rick teased, and proceeded to give his friend a good slap on the back. Much to […]
