The Running Man: Chapter 16

Josh's P.O.V

I can barely open my eyes. I was way too exhausted to even open my eyes. My whole body aches in pain. I could feel most of my bones broken from the tension of the moon. Weird, I am not holding the moon anymore, where am I?

It took all of my strength to open my eyes, and my vision is still blurry.

I hope this is a safe place for me, since I am in no condition to even move.

"Mmlp." I managed. Even that isn't good enough. I am way too weak to do that, especially after holding the crushing weight of the moon.

I tried to move my fingers. I almost winced in pain because when I moved it, I felt immense pain coursing through me. I guess that is just the side effect from having broken bones.

Then, a figure stood in front of me. He radiated magic and power. I could tell who he is.

"J-j-jack???" I murmured.

"Yes Josh." Jack answered. "It is me."

Jack carried me carefully and placed me on the couch.

I saw my friends, Stuart and Jean. Stuart and Jean looked at me with concern.

Just then, Jean approached me, with her drinking bottle in her hands. She stared directly at my eyes and said. "Hey Josh! Wanna party?"

I was going to say no, but the words that came out was "mmmllppp." due to my incredibly weak state.

I tried to move my legs, but I was greeted with immense pain coursing through my legs. I guess that my bones had not fully recovered yet.

Jean walked over me and shoved me a beer bottle. I tried to fight it, but I have almost no energy left. But as I noticed, there were no liquids coming through my mouth, and as Jean checked it, she was surprised that there's no alcohol inside the bottle.
