Adam: fight it?

From Create Your Own Story

Of two enemies you choose the clear and present one. You release this force you feel inside you.

Everything blacks out.

When you come to your senses, you’re in some smaller corridor of the sewers surrounded by eviscerated rat corpses. You are covered in blood, shit and piss. In a distance you hear the river in which you fell. It stinks, you stink, everything stinks.

You have no way of knowing what time it is. Your water proof watch is apparently not piss proof and seems to have stopped at six fifteen. You wander for a long time finding no way to leave the maze you’re lost in. Your hunger is great but your lust has ran away and must cowering in some closet of your mind.

After a while you hear noises coming from a distance. It sounds like men fighting. You follow the noise. A light can be seen from a distance. Above the smell of excrement surrounding you, you perceive strong human odor. It’s like feet and sweat only ten times worse than what you ever smelled.

Soon the noises you though were voices become more distinguishable. It's more grunts than actual words. The room you’re peeking in from the shadows of the corridor is lit by two fires. A couple of men dressed in rags are fighting over what seems to be a woman.

You’ve just met the denizens of the sewers, homeless people so low in the food chain of the street that they had to flee into the sewers only to find themselves into an even worse environment.

Your hunger gets more violent. You feel the same force that overtook you a while ago trying to break free again.

Once again

Do you let it take over?

Or do you fight it and try to get directions from those… men?
