Narrative: Maturity's Relevance

Certain Experiences mark the beginning of maturity. Now, Jack is just an ordinary guy, with ordinary friends and family. He is an Aryan of about 5'10", with average intelligence, and IQ. Jack has an ordinary daily schedule, with nothing special involved. He simply repeats the same repetitive, and mundane tasks, day after day, until his eventual and obvious end, in days to come. Jack is not exactly what you would call an "exciting" person when you see him and what he does, but he's OK with that, he's just an everyday normal guy. Jake wakes up to a new day; December 21st, 2012 to be exact. Today is an exciting day for Jake; he has a job interview, and his driving test. Today, Jake becomes a man... So long as he doesn't screw up in some profound way.

Jake wakes up early in the morning from his alarm playing a radio friendly song from his local radio station; he knew not which song it was; they all sound the same. Jake lay in his bed for a few minutes after waking, having an internal debate on whether or not to get out of bed yet and venture into the cold, harsh world once again. As he is getting up and going about his daily morning schedule, he notices that his parents appear to have been stricken with some sort of ailment. He heard them groaning in pain and hysteria in their room. Not wanting to catch such a sickness, Jake decides to avoid this room and continue about his day. He looked at the clock and realized that it was 10:25. His job interview was at 10:30, and MacDonalds was at least 15 minutes away by foot. He burst out of the door, and barely managed to keep his footing as he rushed down his front steps and out the gate into the street.

He moved as fast as his legs would take him, down the street towards MacDonalds, but he somehow forced himself to stop, because there was a strange sight indeed in the horizon. Hundreds, possibly thousands of people were seemingly hobbling towards him. They were groaning similarly to how his parents were before he left the house. "It must have sprung up over night!" he thought to himself. He decided to take a detour through an alleyway, not wanting to catch this sickness for himself. As he neared his destination, Jake hear a piercing female scream behind him. Turning, he saw a most peculiar sight. A women was being literally eaten alive by three other humanoids who's gender were unknown at the distance. It's not every day you see cannibals operating in broad daylight, but Jake didn't want to sit around and observe this spectacle of nature; he'd seen enough of it from his uncle Jeremy, who was a closet cannibal (not that you heard it from me). As he arrived at his interview, Jake looked at his pocket-watch and saw that he was nearly 7 minutes late! He looked up at the building to see that it was in ruins and crowded with sick people; the ceiling had caved in, the glass had shattered, and the entire building was engulfed in flames. Just shows how much love a big corporation shows to its venues.

Seeing the utter pointlessness of pursuing the job interview any further, Jake decided to attempt to salvage what was left of his day and attempt his driver's test. He walked across town, noticing many more sick people as the day went on, and they all seemed to be after him for some reason untold to him. He approached the driving test facility, and found a car parked directly outside with someone holding a clipboard inside. He approached it and got into the drivers seat. He looked at his tester, who appeared to be sleeping. His face seemed to have a pale-green tinge to it, and he was breathing heavily. Jake turned on the car, and the tester appeared to awaken. He immediately started groaning. Jake realized that this person was sick, but figured that it may increase his chances of passing, as he may not be able to notice all of his mistake. As the tester realized that there was someone else in the car other than himself, he started heavily caressing Jake's head and chanting "brains."

Jake attempted push the other's head back, but his hand was literally bitten off by the instructor. He screamed in pain, as many other sick people started to mob outside of the vehicle. He opened the door, and was grabbed by everybody outside. He thought he was safe, but then he felt a shard pain in his stomach area, then on his calf. And then he realized that he was being eaten alive. "I am finally a man now," he thought to himself as he was torn, limb from limb. But maturity could not help him now, as it was short-lived, although his ignorance did outlive his lungs.
