Rising to the Top:A Short Story by Truman!
Mount Unclimable was an unclimable mountain. It lived up to its name, and no one has climbed it, and all who have tried have not made it. Legend says there is something up there killing all the people.......
Bob and Joe had purposed in their hearts to climb the unclimable mountain. They knew the risk and it didnt matter, because Joe had cancer and was divorced and had no will to live. Bob had a wife and kids but that didn't affect him, because he loved his dying bro, and he had no other plans. Bob was getting the supplies for climbing and joe was supplying the snacks(and he got cigerattes for himself). They started climbing the next day. There was a convineint path so they walked up that for a while. After a bit the path came to a sudden end. There was a sign that read: "DO NOT CLIMB THIS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETEY" Bob said " You sure about this?"
"Heck yea dude, i'm ready!!!" Joe said, coughing violently
"Ok then... Let's get going." Bob was putting on his equipment and starting climbing, with Joe following. Suddenly Bob fell a bit and grabbed onto Joe. Joe fell a little, but then he threw Bob onto a ledge. "HOLY CRAP" Bob was breathing heavily. "that was crazy!"
"Yea dude thats what this is all about woooo" Joe coughed up some blood, "This is a heckin' rush!!"
"It didnt even happen to you, what the heck?" Bob was still breathing heavy, "I could've died dude!!"
"That's why its a rush, and I love it, I want to almost die but not die all the time." Joe coughed again and pulled out a cigarrette.
"Maybe you'll get that chance" Bob muttered.
"Yea i hope so" Joe lit a cigarette as suddenly a wolf jumped on his arm and starting biting into his arm.
"You got your chance HAHAHAHAHA" Bob started laughing as Joe was howling in pain. Joe screamed as the wolf's teeth digged into his arm. Then, joe remembered his shotgun. He pulled it out and held it to the wolf's head and shot, blowing the wolf's head into bits, blasting blood , brains, and skull bits everywhere. The wolf body hit the ground blood oozing with its head in pieces spread all over. Not to mention his arm that had just been blasted off on the ground shattered and blood everywhere.
"Gosh dang it!" Joe yelled "That was crazyyyy"
"Not so fun when it happens to you haha???" Bob laughed
"Nah man that was great." Joe coughed up blood on the wolf's blood, and wiped some of it away.
"Ok then.." Bob wiped away wolf brains. "You ready to walk up the convienent path?"
"Yea man gimme a sec,"Joe put on a band-aid and coughed some. The two men, well 1 and 4/5 of a man traveled up the convienent path ignoring a "MILITARY FACILITY" sign. Bob asked Joe a question, "Why'd we do this?"
"Uhh because I've always wanted to climb a mountain, and do something illegal, this was the only way to do both simeultaneuously" Joe coughed up some blood. "Why'd you come along?"
"Well true, and i don't know, i just wanted to go with you, being almost dead and all."
"Yea." Joe sighed
"Hey, don't be sad, dying happens to everyone." With that, they kept walking.They kept walking until suddenly they tripped on a cord and an alarm starting ringing violently.Joe looked back and saw official looking military guys chasing them. "RUNNNNN!!!!!" Bob screamed, and they ran. They were running for a good 5 minutes until Joe got shot in the back.
"GOSH DANG IT!!!", he screamed and fell over, his blood, in stark contrast to the white snow. "STAY WITH ME JOE, ITLL BE ALRIGHT!" Bob screamed, tears escaping his sad eyes.
"N-n-no, i dont think i w-will" Joe was coughing up blood. "im going out!"
"NONONONONONONO NOOOOO" Bob wailed, sobbing.
"F-fine, i love you." Bob said, and started running. There was gun shots, and Bob looked back and saw a huge explosion of fire and guts. Bob cried and kept going.He climbed to the top. He made it.
As Bob was sobbing at the top, three military men came up to him "What do you want?!?!" Bob pointed a gun at them.
"You're on goverment property." The man said. "We're here to make sure you never existed."
"Well, it'll happen to us both." Bob pulled out a grenade and pulled the pin and tackled the man. Then there was a explosion.
