AncilThe jumbie just stood there as if deciding whether or not to attack or let me live. I stayed as still as possible while he eyed me up and down. As he did so I kept whispering to Ray Carter to get up, in hopes that he would come to my rescue. But no matter how much I tried he remained unresponsive.
Suddenly the jumbie ran towards me and swung at me with the meat cleaver in hand, but somehow I managed to block it with the metal plating of Ray Carter. I then tripped him, got up, and scurried off. As I ran, the jumbie grabbed me by my legs causing me to fall to the floor with a loud thud, jarring my teeth in the process. I began to kick and shout randomly until I made ample contact with the jumbie’s face causing him to let me go. The jumbie still had his hands on one of my slippers but I didn’t let that stop me from escaping. It was just a slipper. It was better he got that than my entire leg.
I ran off towards the kitchen, knowing that there was a back door. There I encountered other Chinese jumbies which tried to grab at me but I whizzed past them, through the kitchen and out the back door almost falling over in the process.
There were other jumbies in the road basically going about their own business, but as I passed by it seemed their first instinct was to try to kill me armed with whatever they could find on the ground. I managed to steer clear of them as I ran through the town with Ray Carter clutched under my arm. Only a few followed me at first but after a while, more and more jumbies joined the chase with what I assumed was malicious intent. And they were fast. Really fast. I hastily jumped into an abandoned car and locked all the doors hoping that it would keep me safe from the madness. It did, but it also trapped me. It trapped me in a car with hundreds, probably even thousands of jumbies circling, pounding, and clawing away at it. I saw a lot of familiar faces. People that I went to school with, store owners that I often saw, and other faces that looked familiar. They were all around the vehicle groaning loudly pounding, scratching, and clawing relentlessly. Their faces haunted me and their monstrous groans instilled me with so much paralyzing fear that I couldn’t move a muscle. Horrified, it then occurred to me that I was right in the middle of an overrun JUMBIE TOWN.
