What's Eating You?

Clouds could be seen through a window as Jabo looked out it. Jabo and the group after some thought, decided to go on vacation to Florida.

"Great to be able to go on vacation." said Gordon

"You said it," said James "it's a welcome change from the strange situations we inadvertently get involved in!"

"How could you afford this?" asked Laura

"Well.." started Jabo as he looked out of the corner of his eye, and saw a strange man head towards the front. Jabo watched as the man made his way to the front, and pulled out a handgun.

"Everyone stay in your seats!" demanded the terrorist "We have hijacked this plane, anyone tries anything funny and we detonate the bomb we've planted!" As the terrorist continued to speak, Jabo slowly pulled out a combat knife. As he did this, he saw someone start to get out of

their seat.

"Don't be a hero asshole!" Jabo said to himself, as he saw the guy stand up.

"You're not hijacking this plane!" said the man as he ran towards the terrorist. Acting quickly, the terrorist pointed his gun at the man, and pulled the trigger. The bullet entered the mans forehead, and he fell forward into a puddle of his own blood. As soon as the guy hit the floor, people began screaming.

"SHUT UP OR I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" yelled the man as he quickly waved his gun at the people. After the people quieted down, the terrorist walked over to look at his work. As he looked down at the body, Jabo quickly came up behind him. Without a chance for the terrorist to say anything, Jabo grabbed his forehead, pulled his head back and sliced the knife across the terrorists neck. The terrorist gurgled as blood seeped from his neck, and he fell forward. Jabo looked over at the group.

"I guess shitty airport security comes in handy!" said Jabo, as he put away his combat knife. As he looked at his work, he heard a noise from the back. As he looked back, he saw a man heading towards the door, wearing a parachute.

"I've set the timer," said the man as he opened the plane door "the bomb should go off in a minute or so. So sorry you'll all have to die, while I remain alive!"

"Don't think so!" said Jabo as he quickly pulled out his handgun and fired it at the guy. The guy held onto his neck, which gushed blood as he fell out of the plane. As Jabo smiled at his accomplishment, he heard a loud boom sound. All of a sudden the plane began going down, totally

spinning out of control.

"HOLY SHIT WE'RE GONNA DIE!" yelled James, as the plane came closer and closer to an island. The last sound heard, was the sound of the plane crashing.

Jabo regained consciousness, to find himself surrounded by fire and smoke. As he looked around him, he saw lifeless bodies of the other passengers.

"JABO!" came a voice through the wreckage. Jabo listened and heard his name called again, he recognized the voice to be Lauras. As he looked around, he saw a slightly open passage.

"If I run full force" thought Jabo "I should be able to get through!" Jabo then made a quick dash, and pushed his way out of the wreckage. When he got out, he fell to his knees and began to cough from the smoke inhalation.

"He's over here!" yelled Gordon as he looked and saw Jabo outside the wreckage. The group quickly walked over to Jabo, and helped him up.

"What happened?" asked Jabo as he coughed a little more.

"Well," said Gordon "here's what we know for sure. That bomb going off, obviously caused the plane to crash. From what I can see, the impact basically killed everyone except us. Now it appears, we're on some unknown island."

"But how was it that we could survive?" asked James

"Luck of the draw, I guess!" said Jabo

"So what do we do now?" asked Laura

"Not much we can do now!" said Jabo "We got our stuff, so that's not a problem. I suggest we let this thing burn, and tomorrow we'll see what we can salvage." As the group started walking to find a place to set up camp, Jabo looked behind him and thought he saw figures in the distance.

The next day, the group went back to the plane to see what they could salvage. As they came up to the plane, Jabo noticed two of the bodies were outside the wreckage.

"What the fuck?" said Jabo as he walked over to the bodies. As he looked down, he saw that their chests had been sliced open, and a few organs were missing.

"JABO!" yelled Gordon from the wreckage "COME CHECK THIS OUT!" Jabo walked over to the group, and looked in the wreckage.

"What am I looking at?" asked Jabo

"Can't you see?" said Gordon "Some of the bodies are missing!"

"But...how?" asked Laura

"Wild animals?" suggested James

"Possibly," said Jabo "but I haven't seen any!"

"Well," said Laura as she pointed at a body "If it's an animal, it's a tough one!" Jabo, James, and Gordon looked at the body Laura was pointing at, it was completely stripped of flesh.

"Holy shit!" said James, he paused for a moment. "So what are we going to do?"

"Simple!" said Jabo "We find what did this, kill it, then try to get the fuck off this island!"

"Good plan!" said Gordon

"Thanks, I thought so too!" said Jabo

"So where do we start?" asked Laura

"Let's try a search of this island," said Jabo "hopefully we'll turn up something!" As the group walked away from the wreckage, a figure walked up to one of the bodies of the dead passengers. The figure pulled out a knife, and began slicing open one of the bodies. The figure stuck it's hands in, and pulled out the heart. With drooling mouth, the figure brought the heart to its mouth and took a bite out of it. As it sat down and ate, others began coming. Each of them found a corpse, and began eating.

"Still nothing!" said James "This animal must be fucking excellent at hiding!"

"Well James," said Gordon "maybe all your talking is scaring it off, so shut the fuck up!"

"You know what Gordon?" said James "I oughta..."

"Shhh!" said Jabo "Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?" asked James. He quieted for a minute to hear the sound of chewing. Jabo pulled out his handgun, and quietly made his way towards the sound. As he came right up to the noise, he pulled some bushes back and saw a man on his knees eating something. As Jabo watched the man turned and Jabo saw what he was eating, it was a human arm.

"Holy Shit!" whispered Jabo

"What?" whispered Laura

"You'll have to see it to believe it!" whispered Jabo. The group quietly made their way to where Jabo was, and they saw the man eating the human arm.

"HOLY SHIT!" yelled James "IT'S A FUCKING CANNIBAL!" The man stood up, still holding the arm, and looked around. As he looked he saw James with a shocked look on his face. The man smiled as he dropped the arm, and wiped the saliva from his mouth. The man pulled out a knife, and began quickly walking towards James. Still shocked by what he saw, James found he couldn't move. As the man got closer, he dived at James landing right on top of him. The man took his knife and brought it to James chest. Just as the tip of the knife pierced James skin, Gordon pulled out his shotgun and hit the man with the butt of it. Wiping blood from his mouth, the man looked up at Gordon and

hissed.

"Fuck off!" said Gordon, as he pointed the barrel of the gun at the mans head and pulled the trigger. Laura quickly ran over and helped James onto his feet.

"You okay James?" asked Laura

"Yeah...Yeah I'm fine!" said James "Wh..What happened?"

"Well," said Laura "you almost became his meal." Laura pointed at the body of the man, who now had very little head left after the shotgun blast.

"So," said James "then was he the one responsible for the mutilations of all those bodies?"

"I'd like to think so," said Laura "but I don't think someone can do that much in one day!"

"Are you saying there's more like him?" asked James

"I don't know James" said Laura "I hope not, but I don't know."

"So what do you suppose we're dealing with?" asked Gordon as him and Jabo stared at the dead body.

"Looks like we're dealing with cannibals." said Jabo "If there's one, there's gotta be more!"

"But where would we start?" asked Gordon

"Well," said Jabo "there were still bodies at the plane, I suggest we head back."

"Sounds like an idea!" said Gordon. As Gordon walked over to James and Laura to tell them the plan, Jabo stared at the dead body of the cannibal. As he examined the body, he noticed that the body had on a uniform like a captain or co-pilot of a plane.

"What the hell?" Jabo said to himself.

As the group came closer to the plane, Jabo could see figures standing by it. Jabo held his arm out, to stop the group from advancing.

"What is it?" asked Laura

"People up by the plane," said Jabo "about five or six of them." Each member of the group pulled out a weapon, and loaded it. "Ready?" asked Jabo, the group nodded. "Alright, let's go!" The group quietly made their way up to the plane, James came up behind one of the cannibals. As he watched, the woman was knelt over a body chewing off the flesh. Slowly, James placed the tip of his gun at the back of the womans head. James pulled the trigger, the womans body slumped over the body she was eating. As James watched the blood seep from the hole, the sound of his gun firing had attracted the attention of the other cannibals. As one of the cannibals snuck up behind James, Laura grabbed him by the head and held her gun to his temple.

"You ain't eating any of my teammates while I'm alive!" said Laura. She pulled the trigger, the body fell forward, landing inches away from the back of James feet.

"Thanks Laura!" said James

"No problem!" said Laura with a smile across her face. Jabo meanwhile had one of the cannibals swinging a knife in front of him.

"Oh, you wanna play with knives?" asked Jabo. The man continued swinging the knife at Jabo. "Well okay," said Jabo "you asked for it!" Jabo pulled out his Samurai sword, and cut off the guys hand. Jabo watched in shock, as the man bent over and picked up the knife with his other hand. Once again Jabo used his sword to cut off his other hand. Jabo watched as the man stood there, no hands, and in a puddle of his own blood. The man made a hissing sound as he ran towards Jabo.

"C'mon!" said Jabo "You gotta be fucking kidding me!" Jabo held out his sword, as the man ran towards him. The mans hissing turned into a gurgling, as the blade went through his throat, coming out the other side. As Jabo pulled his blade out of the guys neck, he fell forward into

a pool of his own blood. Jabo looked over at Gordon who had already killed one of the cannibals, and had another on the ground.

"You like eating human flesh, fucker?" said Gordon "Well let's see ya try it without any teeth!" Gordon took the butt of his shotgun, and hit the man in face with it. As Gordon lifted the shotgun, he looked at the man. His mouth was full of blood, his teeth in a small pile in front of him. Gordon took the barrel of the shotgun, and placed it in the cannibals mouth. Gordon flashed a small smile as he pulled the trigger.

"I wonder where they came from!" said Jabo

"What do you mean?" asked Laura

"They just don't look like they're native to this island!" said Jabo

"Well," said James "it's hard to know what a native here looks like, seeing as we don't know where the fuck we are!"

"Why do you suspect they've come from somewhere else?" asked Gordon

"Well," said Jabo "remember that guy we killed that almost made a meal out of James!" Gordon nodded his head. "Well," said Jabo "before we left that area I took a look at the body, and it appeared to have a uniform of a airplane pilot."

"So you're saying..." said Gordon

"Yeah!" said Jabo "I'm thinking these people crashed here just like us!"

"If that's so," said Gordon "where's the plane?"

"Uh...Jabo!" said James, who was ahead of the group.

"What is it James?" asked Jabo

"You might want to take a look at this!" said James

"Alright!" said Jabo as he walked over to James "What the hell is so impor..." As Jabo looked in the direction James was pointing, he saw several planes, some fully intact, some gutted, all piled up around the area. Laura and Gordon walked over to where Jabo and James were standing.

"I don't think it was just one plane that went down!" said Gordon. With weapons in high ready, the group began walking through the airplane graveyard.

"Man, there are a lot of fucking planes!" said James "But what happened to the passengers?" The group looked back at James

"He's got a point," said Gordon "this island should be crawling with people."

"Well," said Jabo "most of them are probably dead. The ones that survived, are the cannibals that we've been killing!"

"How many more can there be?" asked Laura

"I wish I knew!" said Jabo. As they continued walking, they heard noises among the planes.

"I don't like what's going on here!" said James as he held up his weapons. All of a sudden a figure from one of the planes, jumped on James back. "FUCK!" yelled James "GET THIS FUCKER OFF ME!" As Jabo pointed a handgun at the woman on top of James, a long stick hit his hand causing him to drop his gun.

"The fuck?" said Jabo as he looked to the side of him, to see a person holding the stick. Behind him, was two other people, they ran towards Gordon and Laura. As Jabo planned his next move, he looked over at James. James had made an attempt to overpower the woman, in the end Jabo watched as the woman stabbed a knife into James throat and began chewing on his arm.

"Fuck!" said Jabo. He glanced at the cannibal which still held the stick. Very slowly Jabo pulled out his combat knife, very quickly he stabbed it into the hand in which the cannibal was holding the stick. As the cannibal screamed out in pain, Jabo brought his handgun up and smashed him across the face with it. The cannibal fell to the ground, when he looked up he saw the barrel of Jabos handgun on his forehead. The last thing he saw was Jabo pulling the trigger. While Jabo was fighting, Laura was also engaged in battle with a female cannibal. The woman, holding a knife

was swiping it at Laura. Laura was able to dodge each swipe, until being caught off guard, she was cut on her arm.

"Ah! You fucking bitch!" said Laura angrily as she pulled out a handgun and proceeded to repeatedly hit her with the butt of the gun. The womans face, covered in blood looked up at Laura. Laura knelt down, and opened the womans mouth with her free hand. She took her handgun, and placed it in the womans mouth. "Lets see ya eat this, bitch!" said Laura as she pulled the trigger. As Laura stood up, she looked over in Gordons direction. She watched as Gordon stood up, with the barrel from his shotgun smoking. Down at his feet was the body of one of the cannibals, a large hole from a shotgun blast at his chest. As Jabo pulled his combat knife from the cannibals lifeless hand, his eyes glanced over to where James's lifeless body lay.

"You will be avenged James!" said Jabo as he stood up and walked over to the rest of the group. As the group continued walking through the airplane graveyard, the sound of an object flying through the air could be heard.

"AAAHH!" said Gordon. Jabo and Laura looked back to see a spear through Gordons chest. Gordon fell forward into a pool of blood.

"My God!" said Laura as she looked into the distance.

"What?" asked Jabo. Laura pointed into the distance. Coming up towards them was an army of cannibals.

"No!" said Jabo "This has to end, too many have died already!"

"What are we going to do?" asked Laura. Jabo looked at Gordons body, and noticed he had grenades on him. As the army of cannibals came right up to them, Jabo grabbed one of the grenades and threw it. The blast from the grenade killed half the army. With what firepower they had left, Jabo and Laura blasted the rest away.

"That takes care of one problem," said Laura "but how are we gonna get off this island?"

"Don't worry!" said Jabo as he walked over to Laura and wrapped his arms around her. "Someone will find us eventually, I mean how long can it take?"

SIX MONTHS LATER

"I wonder if there are any survivors?" asked a man in a military uniform.

"Seems unlikely," said another man in uniform "I mean who could have survived that?" As the two military men continued walking, they found the airplane graveyard.

"Holy Shit! look at all those planes!" said the first man.

"I know," said the second man "My god, I...hey whats that?" The man pointed at three figures in the distance. As they came up to the figures, the saw one of them was dead, and partially eaten. Knelt down behind the bodies, was two people with blood on their mouths. The two figures were Jabo and Laura.

"Holy Shit!" said the first man "Charlie!"

"Yeah?" said the second man

"Get on the wire!" said the first man "I'm bringing in two cannibals. The man looked at Jabo and Laura, who looked back at him. They looked at each other, kissed, then went back to eating.
