The Antibeing Chapter One: Neohistory A dark bar there are couples at the tables, broken men at the bar, and a few robust Twenty-somethings playing pool. A man wearing a business suit and a breif case walks in and sits at the bar bar, during his walk he is counstantly looking over his shoulder, even to the point that he ran into a waitress. After sitting down and ordering his drink he looks at the group of young men at the pool table, selects one and begans what he has come to do. “You, kid get over here!” grasping a random boy from a group. “Get the fuck away from me old man,” answered the ragged boy. “Good your rude you can’t be one of them,” was the only answer. “What?” “Sit down, listen, and retell what I am about to tell you,” whispered the man. “My name is Taylor Manus and what I am about to tell you will change you view of the world,” He took a siip of what appeared to be whiskey “ Since the time of Able and Cane, there has been a second Humanoid Creation walking alongside mankind. Don’t be mistake for what they appear to be, they are not human, and they hate every aspect of humanity. They are the result of the pure hatred of Adam’s first wife Lilif. They were brought on this earth as a plague, to undermind all efforts of humanity. They have pale skin in any color of the race spectrum, a body resymboling that of a human, and most shocking of all a blank face.” “Wait, Wait, Wait, I still think your crazy as hell, but how in the name of Jesus Christ can you have a blank face,” the boy rashly introjected. “Maybe blank wasn’t the right way to phrase it, more like they have no face, sunken place where eyes should be and falt skin from where the nose should be to the chin, with no mouth. Also, they have no hair on their head,” Manus explained. “If they have no mouth or nose, how do they breathe? Second, With all these people around wouldn’t we notice some bald headed, no eyes freaks walking around?” questioned the boy. “They don’t need to breathe with mouths, they breathe through the skin. Also theres a reason you don’t see them walking around. They have ablity, a horrid one; they can take the faces of others and use their presitge, power, or just the disguise, of the person. After takening the face of the person, they either dispose of the body, or eat it head to toe, bones and all,” stated Manus. The boy replied, “You got one hell of an imagination old man.” And with that he got up and began to walk away. Taylor lunged at his arm and pulled him back into the seat, and told him, “Stay in your seat, or I’ll kill you and save them the God damn effort.” He quickly flashed a Colt .44 Magum, from under the seem of his coat and countined, “Before, right after their creation they needed to feed and see so they grabbed what ever they could find; Lizards, Dogs, birds. God recognized the threat, so contary to the bible, he informed Noah of the threat, so he could save, humanity and what lived, and flooded the world. Unfortunatly, they survived, grabbing fish and marine going animals they breathed with gills and swam under the waves to evade God’s fury. After Noah’s death knowledge of their kind subsided. However, it was rediscovered, and a warning was attempted by the ancient Egyptians. The Gods of the Egyptians, Osris, Rah, and the others, they all have the faces of animals.” He stops in the middle of his rant to take a sip of his drink, and pull out a gold plated ciggerate case, he closes his eyes puts one into his mouth and lights, then looking to the young man he motions the case in suggestion. The boy declined. Taylor rebuted, “Good they’ll turn you green, and lower the life expectency,” he countinued, “ Ok, the first Eygptians didn’t beleve them Gods. The evil ones, the Antibeings infiltrated their society and made them self’s gods. Emblaming was originally a practice to attempt presevring a face for later use. From that point on almost every political assination has involved the Antibeings. They thrive at contorling us and killing us, they masterminded the Black Death, the Hundred Years War, they caused he corruption in the church and then the loss of power of the church to smite the heavenly father, they owned every president since Lincoln. He was killed by John Wilksbooth in an attempt to strike bacck, quincidently Booth was shoot dead by an entire platoon of soldiers, before he could be interogated…talk about over kill.” “That’s a bit far flung if they hate humans so much and they had Lincoln, why did they free the slaves?” he asked. “The free the slave thing was just to hurt the South, that and it was a popular movement, hell who knowns the particular one with Lincoln’s face may have had a bit of sympathy to human suffering, If you look at the beginnings of reconstruction that might be apparent. However, realize that the civil war was the bloodest conflict in American history, hundreds of thousands dead maimed and the south in shambles.” Answered the question. “That kind of makes sense, but you say they owned every President since Lincoln," "what about FDR no way he hated people.” “Well, good point, they probably left Freddy alone cause Hitler was in the works.” “Hitler was one?” the boy asked interupting Taylor. Manus tapped his ciggerate and countined, “No, Hilter was just a crazy fucker, they let him play out because they new the otracities he was capable of; world war, mass saltuger, the brain washing of a generation, They did however control another man of that time.” “Stalin” the boy answered finishing the sentence. “If anything he was worse than Hitler, when the Germans and Russians aggreed to the Non-aggression pacts, and craved Poland in two, it was a suprize that Britain and France only declared war on German, Russia was just as much at fault. It wasn’t a quincidence, it was the Antibeings, then the German Ally, Japan, attacks Pearl Harbor, America Declares war on Japan, Germany on America and Russia is forgotten as an evil, millions die.” “Let me guess the Cold War was just an attempt at total human destruction, yet was foiled by human savors,” the boy deducted. “Wrong, but not far off, the Antibeings, at least the conservative ones are narcassitic, loving themselves, not being able to sacrafice themselves in an effort to destroy humanity. However, in the ninteen-sixties, the Kennedy administration they putforth the effort to get “man” into space, so they could rise up and watch nuclear winter destroy us all. That was the idea until a radical band of Antibeings swayed the one appearing as Kennedy, the one who had prevented the Cuba Missle Crisis. He was going to use Vietnam, which he began United States involvement in, to cause the last world war, the mutually assured destruction one,” the old man retrospectively answered. “Then what prevented it, Oswold?” “Lee Harvey Oswold, He was the human presencse that attempted to kill Kennedy, but he had a crappy view and an old bolt action Italian Rifle. The real ones, who killed Kennedy, or rathar Kennedy’s double, were an elite squad of Antibeing commandos, acting against the radical band. Two on the grassy gnoll as suspected, however, there was also one with a heavy calibur weapon of some kind shooting up from under a sewer grate on the curb of the road. That is why they couldn’t find the killing rounds, which is why they had to cover up with the magic bullet theroy. The bullet that did it was found on the strecter used by the Governor it was never extracted from a wound.” “Why then did they cature Oswald?” “They are far more obnipadent then they seem. They knew what Oswald knew. Oswald wasn’t stupid enough to leave a weapon that could link him to an attempted murder, he broke the weapon down in less than a minute, just like he had been train to do in the marines, and left.” “So these "Antibeings" I assume framed him.” “Exactly they stole one of Oswald’s other rifles, fired one round, which they placed on the strecther, and had an undercover Antibeing, playing police oficer plant the gun.” How would this shut him up, it just puts him under prison lock and guard, I mean they couldn’t have known someone would try to kill Oswald.” “They planned it, the move put a normally evasive and paranoid Oswald on a scheduled path, where an Antibeing assasin took him out.” “Not saying yet that I believe you, but why are you telling me all this?” “They’ve been killing off all those that they know have knowledge of their existence. A fake heart attack here, a sucide there you know slow, but sure.” “Then why the fuck would you tell me, I don’t exactly wanna die.” “Oh, calm down, they don’t have an icy idea in hell that you know, you only got to worry if you open your lips to someone else, or they capture me, and don’t kill me right away or I don’t take the cyanide I keep handy.” Manus said cooly. Manus then put out what was left of the ciggerate, examined his glass, holding it to the light looking at the reflection and refragmention it produced. “Listen kid.” He got out a piece of paper and a pen, “If you wanna know more, even if you wanna help come to this addresss, wear a baseball cap covering you eyes, black pants, long coat (he eyed the boy’s coat), that one will do, and gloves. Buzz in and when you hear a woman say “Who is it?” say Camile.” He showed the young man the address then stuffed the paper into the boy’s coat pocket. Manus then proceded to get up and pay his bill. “Wait old man, you don’t even know my name.” The young man said in an attempt to enlighten Taylor. Manus got out his ciggerate case and said, “It’s better if I don’t know.” He lit the ciggerate, and walked out the door.
