It was a dark and stormy night. Deep in the jungle.
Very deep in the jungle.
People are just lazy really. Everybody knows about the lost Inca city in the jungle.
Every school kid in a half decent school is told of the temples of gold. Some years as many as ten expeditions set out to find it.
But they all give up and turn back. Laziness. Jack had not turned back. He had never given up on anything in his life. He was too stubborn. It had caused him a lot of hardship.
But now it had paid off he had thought. They had not given up though they might have if not for him. Thomas certainly would have.
It made him even more pissed at what was about to happen as Thomas pulled his gun out. Thomas would not even be here if not for him. He would have turned back like all the other expeditions. Not even close.
But they had not turned back. And they had found it. The lost city. The golden city. It had been easy.
No. It had been hard. The jungle is a bad place to spend a year roaming in. They were worried about natives who probably had never seen white people. And though they found many such natives they need not have worried as they ran into the Jungle or cowered in their huts.
Thirteen months of gruelling slog and they had found it. Finding it HAD been easy just getting there was hard. Sure it was overgrown you certainly could not have seen it from a plane. But on the ground it was pretty hard to miss a fucking huge city full of gold.
Full.
Gold gold gold gold gold gold gold. Oh boy there was a lot of gold.
The others were searching in the main temple for the fancy jewellery stuff while they stood on the strangely bar outcrop out in the pouring rain.
And Thomas started to raise the gun. He would kill Lisa afterwards Jack knew. In the movies he would dive to cover or fling something at his eyes. But there was nowhere to dive. Nothing to fling.
When it comes down to it human beings will do absolutely anything to survive. People can go a lot further than they think when instinct takes over.
But it is no use being ready to do absolutely anything when there is absolutely nothing you can do.
He was going to die and then Lisa was going to die and there was nothing he could do about it. He had never felt so helpless and so scared in his life.
They had to find some jewellery or something. Some sort of lighter valuables. Though the pictures would probably be enough.
Gold is heavy stuff you see. There was no way they could carry even a thousandth of what was here. So they just had to get proof then go back to civilization and find a rich partner hoping to get a little richer.
Get a bigger expedition together and build a little airstrip here. Gold gold gold gold gold gold gold.
The gun seemed to move ever so slowly. Jack wondered if he was imagining it or if your brain really slows time down when you are dying.
But then it was level far too quickly. He should have turned back. But he never gave up on anything. If he gave up then his father would have won. He wanted to prove that he did not care what his father thought. That he was going to do what he wanted no matter what anyone said.
He would have gone back rich. Shown his father once and for all that he was not a failure. Gold gold gold gold gold gold gold.
Lisa was the only thing in his life his father had ever approved of.
'I don't care too much for money,
money can't buy me love.'
Miracles are funny things. You just manage to catch that bus. The Lorry driver falls asleep at just the right time. The lights change right then. The vehicles collide perfectly. It is miraculous but nobody calls it a miracle.
People think that a freakishly lucky chain of events is only a miracle if it is good luck. Sometimes bad miracles happen to good people. Sometimes bad miracles happen to bad people. Sometimes good miracles happen to bad people. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference.
Good miracle. Bad miracle. Good person. Bad person.
You have more chance of being struck by lightening than you do of winning the lottery.
It could be you. Or it could be the other guy. Especially if the other guy is standing on the highest point around in the middle of a thunderstorm waving a bit of metal about.
Sometimes Good miracles happen to good people.
Jack closed his eyes.
And the lightening struck.

Okay I do not think I am going to beat that considering it currently has a perfect +2 rating.
I am not happy with this but I have been really busy this week. I only just got around to writing it now it was originally going to be much much longer he still has Lisa to resue after all but I do not have time.
I was also going to do a MSPaint caricature of crying English Uberusers after the World Cup thingy.
The huge headed Apollo huge Breasted C1ndy huge cocked DCWoody huge nosed Berty etc.
Probably Filthy too. With a figure in the background wearing a tinfoil hat and putting masking tape around the edges of the windows and the doors.
TTOM and MiketheScottish dancing round waving Scottish flags eating deep fried slabs of lard.
Cristiano Ronaldo getting buggered by a goat.
That kind of thing. But I do not have time.
Might even have done a big yellow sun with the words fusion fusion fusion on it. Obviously not in the Scottish scene though.
Still it is the thought that counts.
