The Mnemonic Archive
“Yo Lee” he turned around as he was walking to class “ Yeah what up Jack” Jack walked up to him “ Have u seen the urban legend of the weird white man” John rolled his eyes “ U stopped me for this oh please its fake” as Lee was walking away he grabbed his hand” ITS TRUE I EXIST” Lee blinked before seeing Jack grab his hand again” You fell for that right?” Lee looked annoyed and yanked his hand away “ No, bro its true 3 sightings” Lee looked flabbergasted but dismissed it “Co-ordination then.” “ They didnt know each other, Lee” Lee still ended up walking off and heading to class
Lee sat on the chair looking aimlessly at the wall a every crack every paint drop he was staring slowly in a tranceof sorts then he saw it a face glowing white a suit and tie and a wide smile he was staring at him and he had his hand on to students they didnt seem to even notice then everyone began to stare at him Lee was hypervalitaing looking around ike a madman until he snapped back to reality and realised he was stood up acting all weird “ Hes not here he dosent exist.” Alex kept saying these words in his head before sitting down, head down, embarrassed. The lesson went smoothly afterwards, not even a hitch. Lee went straight to Jack. He needed answers. “ That thing doesn't actually exist, right?” Jack looked at him, “Someone's getting scared, are u a baby now? “ Lee looked at him” Dude, not funny i saw that thing it had its hand on Emy and Rae” Jack looked worried now “ U saw it, and it had hands on them?” “ Yeah, why?” John stepped back “ Stay away from me ur cursed, along with Emy and Rae” Jack began backing away slowly before his face began to morph into something white as a smile crept along his face, then a flash of white “ Yo Lee” Lee turned around “Yo Jack, how did u do that?” The girl looked confused “Who's Jack?” “ Jack naan our classmate” The girl looked more confused “ unfortunately theres no Jack in our class of 29” “ No class of 30” “ Blond hair, blue eyes, the regular white guy?” The girl was dumbfounded, “ Uhh imma go now ur weirding me out.” Lee grabbed her hand “ Wait wheres Emy and Rae?” The girl paused for a moment “ Canteen” she left after that leaving Lee alone he got out his phone instantly photos gone even his birthday reminder gine like he never existed was it because he talked about the white monster Lee was a mess of thoughts and if so do i talk about it but jat about Jack wait whos Jack again?” Shit im forgetting i need write this down” He got a notebook and wrote Jack my friend monster dangerous before falling down on the floor.
“Yo Lee” he turned around as he was walking to class “ Yeah, what up, Jack?” he walked up to him “ Have u seen the urban legend of the weird white man?” Lee felt strange somethings wrong it felt similar too familiar, like it had already happened “Let me guess, 3 sightings?” Jack looked shocked. How did you know?” Lee looked confused too, “ I don't... know.” Jack waved bye at him. “ Cya later” Before he left, Lee grabbed his hand and said, “Don't come meet me after class, ok?” Jack shrugged and left. As Lee began walking to his class, seemingly bracing himself for no reason, “ No monsters are going to pop up, I'm fine”, that rang through his head , and just like that, nothing happened. It was a peaceful lesson without a hitch. And that's what bothered Lee; he felt like something was supposed to happen.
He walked out of the room shaking, not knowing why, but he had his head down, he felt wrong, and he didnt like it, he hated it. It was tearing his head apart, he was thinking of things that didnt happen, then a thought popped in his head, notes look at notes As he reached for his phone and opened notes, he saw two short phrases Jack, my friend monster dangerous " Well thats tons of help aint it."
