KOTL: A Complete History (INCOMPLETE)

Chapter 1: Welcome to Reality 

“Welcome to Peaceful Acres,” the sign said, but the town certainly didn’t look very peaceful, at least not to Aaron. It might have been better described as a post-apocalyptic warzone. Half of the buildings seemed to have collapsed, and the other half seemed to be boarded up and completely deserted. Another half of the buildings seemed to be barely holding together.

That’s three halves, which is impossible, thought Aaron, but so is trying to survive here.

He laughed at his own thoughts and stepped inside as the gates shut behind him.

Aaron stood in front of his apartment door and fiddled with the keys he had been given when his good friend DFS came around the corner.

“Hey, I didn’t know you were here, too,”Aaron said. Why couldn’t the organizer make the keys make sense?

“Hi. So, there’s supposed to be a murderer running around, right?” she said.

“Yep.”

“Do you want to, like, work together then?” she asked, chewing her thumb.

Aaron smiled. “I was right about to ask you the same thing.” he replied.

The two of them shook hands. The murderer was going to have a bad time.

Ryan strutted across the street, heedless to everything around him. He was armed. What could possibly hurt him, anyway?

Suddenly, a figure jumped out from around the corner. “Give me everything you have!” he yelled, readying a throwing knife in his hand.

Ryan squinted. “Holo? Is that you?”

Holo paused. “Ryan?”

Ryan grinned. “Hey, Holo. Glad you’re here. Say, I’ve got a proposition for you.”

Holo huffed. “Whatever. Hit me.”

“You wanna work together?”

“How do I know that you’re not the murderer?” Holo asked accusingly.

“You don’t. How do I know YOU’RE not that murderer?” Ryan retorted.

Holo bit his lip. “Fine. Whatever. I was just thinking that we can get a lot done together, anyway.”

Ryan grinned. “Well, alright then.”

Mark sat on his toilet, his machete in his lap. What the heck was he even doing here? Spending time with a bunch of kids?

He shrugged, tapped his foot, and watched the door.

Arjun staggered back into his apartment, weighed down by the two gigantic backpacks he was lugging for him.

He shut the door behind him loudly and dumped the backpacks on the floor, opening them and allowing the various deadly weapons he had packed to spill out.

He took a deep breath. He knew he wasn’t the murderer, and he was going to do whatever it took to find him. Or her.

Aaron locked his door behind him, jumping a bit as he heard a loud noise that sounded far away.

He opened his bag and spilled out the school supplies he had inside. The eraser bomb, the poison staplers, the ballpoint knives, and, of course, the pencil gun.

He took one out and held it up to the light fixture, admiring his own genius.

“Let’s see that murderer try and take me out NOW, heh.” he said to himself. He chuckled to himself and got to planning.

Like it so far?

Yup. You are good at this

Hey, thanks. 🙂

Detention’s story already exists. Look at the sidenotes.

SHUT UP WITH THE SPOILERS DELETE THAT NOW

I do mind.

How did I know that?!

But I just started

What about LGP or Jason or something

I’ll get her in it later. PATIENCE. I’m the author here, not you.

lol

I had to deal with you for 5k posts.

My mental health was deteriorating.

I will write it when I have time. I’m juggling two stories along with a KOTL I’m going to make, along with being in a zillion advanced classes. K?

Exactly, that's why I became slightly biased.

No offense, but that was a HUUUUUUUUUUGE pain in the neck

Hate is a strong word.

Yes, later today.

This is good. Sadly I didn't know about kotl when it started.

Thanks. Did you read ry’s spoiler?
