Crazy's Wild Ride

3:57 pm, Eastern Standard Time, nation: Unknown

It turned out this unknown voice was a greenhorn like him and was actually in his pajamas. An officer next to him spoke,

"Crap, it seems we have been separated from the pack. But we have a plan for times like these!"

The man spoke to retain order. Crazy looks over and sees the uniform the man was wearing, it was pretty plain and simple. No badges or medals but his voice had an edge to it. Like he had experienced many battles before. The man spoke again.

" You see the sun, it's in the east we are heading to the capital which is north of here. We walk until we can't walk any more. OK troops."

The people in uniforms spoke together in a very disciplined Manor.

"Yes Sgt. Baker!"

These people are crazy! But I'm Crazy so that won't work. But to more important matters, I have to get out of here. The troops started to move North now, Crazy was collected enough to know that he wanted out of this situation now. I can't escape now. They would expect that to happen. I need a plan. Crazy silently formulated a strategy in the back of his head.

The faint sliver of the sun fades over the horizon as they were enveloped in the grace of the night. The group had already set up camp in the forest. They were sitting next to a fire. Crazy was still awake, but some had already fell to the temptation of sleep. Crazy went and sat next to the person wearing pajamas for his plan. Crazy was going to tell the person the plan and see if it will work.

Crazy observed and the person in pajamas as he saw him blinking slowly, as if struggling to stay awake. Crazy shook the shoulder of the person his eyes fluttering open.

"Oh he..." The person was interrupted by Crazy.

"I have a plan to get away, listen closely." Crazy was fully ready to tell the plan to the man.

"I'm listening." He shook his head while Crazy said it, almost as if to wake himself up.

"Before that I need to know what to call you. What is your name." Crazy curiously asked the man.

The man acted surprised like it was not what he expected. " James. My name is James." The man responded in a serious Manor.

"Too long. I'm gonna call you Pajamas." Crazy rudely responded.

"Are you serious! That's even longer than James. Are you stupid or something!?!" His tone was an annoyed one Crazy observed.

"Alright to the plan. So Pajamas, we are going to stay awake the whole night so we can leave while they sleep. Got that? OK good. I won't tell you my name, just call me Crazy. OK." He said quickly giving Pajamas no time to respond in between.

"It's James! Why can't you tell me yours? That name is pretty fitting by the way." Pajamas said the last part under his breath. Crazy did not hear the last part.

"Crazy... Yeah, so what do you plan on once we escape?" Pajamas asked accusingly.

"Crap, Pajamas is right. I really should have thought that through. Wait... That could work! If we were taken to one of the cities, we could ditch them there!" Crazy said out loud.

"Pajamas! I thought of a new pl....."

"Are you stupid, I heard everything you just said Crazy. Don't play dumb with me." He said with an edge to his voice.

"Sorry. I tend to mess with people similar to yourself, especially you. Well I'm going to bed. G'night." Crazy started to lay down as he said this and snores could be heard coming from him.

"What's that supposed to mean! Don't you fall asleep on me!" Pajamas shook Crazy's shoulder. "Wake up already kid!"

Crazy laid down continuing to snore.

"Good grief. I'm sick of staying awake." Said Pajamas before he drifted off into sleep.

30 minutes later

Crazy arose from his fake snoring. The fire was put out. Everyone was asleep with the exception of him being awake. I can't believe my bluff worked! Wait... Why is everybody asleep, it's only been around 20 minutes since I started fake sleeping! No way I can sleep without a bed and that fast asleep. Or it may have to do with me being an insomniac due to the paranoia that came with my bad luck that came when I am tired and or asleep.

Crazy made a decision. This is my chance to escape! First things first, I need to get Pajamas. Crazy quietly walked over to Pajamas and whispered in his ear.

"C'mon get up this is our chance!" No response could be heard from his unconscious body. "Hey" Crazy shook Pajamas this time and said it a bit louder. "Wake up!" Crazy shouted into his ear and then punched him in the stomach hard. He puked, but stayed asleep not waking up at all just laying in his filth.

Crap. He must be having one heck of a dream to not wake from that. How about I kick the person over there and see if he is having a great dream as well? Let's find out! Crazy walked over to the unconscious body of some random cadet and kicked him in the face. Safe to assume that that guy would be out of commission for a while.

No response! My suspicion is correct. They must be in comas! Kind of like a spell... Crazy shook the thought out of his head. No, that's absurd. Magic is not real! Crazy left it at that and walked accidentally in the direction that he was going to head to in the first place.

He had not walked far when he heard the sound of things hitting the sand, almost identical to the sound of a stampede. Crazy was careless and kept walking humming to himself with his eyes closed. He yawned getting more tired by the instant.

*Yawns* If I fall asleep, bad things happen. I can not allow this. Crazy about to fall, caught himself before he did. No... Must... Not allow this... G'night. Crazy started to fall over. The last thing he heard has the sound of something repeatedly hitting the sand. Finally as he hit the ground his consciousness slipped his grasp before he could snap out of it.
