SLEEP

Mikey yawned as his eyes opened, the previous night was full of tossing and turning. He was covered in what appeared to be a white sheet, with two shapes next to him under the sheet. He stretched his arms and contorted his body, pulling the sheet off the next figure, a mannequin.

An all white mannequin, which was adorned with a red wig. Mikey pushed himself off the bed, and turned his body, almost hovering over the mannequin. He looked deeply into it’s blank face and laughed.

You call yourself a queen? You’re no queen.

Mikey caressed the mannequin’s face.

Vidalia is a queen, the QUEEN of the Dark. You? You’re nothing but the farmer’s daughter, queen of the cock, but nothing of importance. While daddy was out there tending to the ranch, you were on your knees in the stable.

A queen?

Mikey laughed.

You are foolish, Ginger. Even more so that you think that you are able to step inside that dark KINGDOM with the King of Darkness. You somehow think, well, maybe you don’t know. Yeah, that’s it. You don’t know who I am.

Oh, do I feel sorry for you, Ginger. Never have you been in such a dangerous situation before. Never have to stood face to face with an evil of this magnitude. NEVER will you be the same, my child. Never will you live life the way you once did.

Because, I’m Mikey eXtreme, and I’m not here to play around. I’m not here to get a bonus for feeding the horses, or tending to the cattle. I’m here for one reason and one reason only, pain. I’ve come here to bring the worst pain imaginable to the masses of the UCI.

But, The Red Queen, the imposter Queen has made my list first. You’ve had some success, not when it counts unfortunately, because that strap is nowhere to be found. That’s okay though, because you’re about to see what real success looks like when I drag your body around that ring and put you right where I want you, right where you like to be, on your back.

Mikey caresses the mannequin’s face again, pushing a strand of red hair from the wig away, before whispering in it’s ear.

Go back to sleep, go back to sleep..

Mikey screams

STAY ASLEEP!

Mikey grabs the mannequin and throws it across the room, it smashes into the wall and falls to the ground. One of it’s arms comes lose, and Mikey walks over, picks the arm up, and begins to smash the mannequin with it. As Mikey beats the mannequin to shreds, the camera pans back towards the bed, which the sheet has slid off in all the commotion.

On the bed, a skeleton with a long red wig. Across the forehead, scratched into the skull, reads:


The scene fades.


Mikey eXtreme has been a steady force inside the world of WCF for a few years now. He’s put on highlight reel matches against some of the best name in professional wrestling, and stood toe to toe with the top stars. He’s done it all and he’s made quite the name for himself.

He was feared around the world because of what he was capable of doing in that ring. He had ended careers, he had won championships, he had beaten legends, and now he was in the UCI.

He was looking for new blood to spill, new blood to bathe in. The Darkness craved new souls and Mikey was going to deliver them one way or another. UCI also gave Mikey the opportunity of a lifetime, he could step out into that ring under his own terms, rise to the top, and laugh himself to sleep at night.

It was time for War, and the drums began to sound.

Count bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums (Go back to sleep)
Go back to sleep


Mikey, sitting with his back against the wall and his head drooping forward, appeared to be in a trance. He sat there while the UCI cameras filmed him, slowly breathing, any paying no attention to anything besides what was going on inside his head.

He slowly lifted his head, showing eyes that looked absent, as though he were still somewhere in his mind and he began to speak.

Matthew, my child, I have heard rumors that you like the extreme.

Mikey began laughing.

It’s not fun if it isn’t extreme, right? Oh, how misguided you are. After we step inside that ring, the last words you’ll ever want to hear again will be eXtreme. Because, I’m bringing the WAR to you, Matthew, I’m bringing an army with me, the size of which you’ve never seen.

When that arena goes pitch back, the Darkness will assemble and it will protect me. It will fuel my victory, and you will be left there, motionless. Unable to move, you will find yourself asleep, Matthew. You will find yourself in a sleep that you cannot wake from.

You will find yourself at the mercy of the King of Darkness and your punishment for trespassing inside MY kingdom will be an eternity of sleep. One swift kick, one X to be marked, and it’s lights out, you will go back to sleep.

I promise you, Matthew. I see a lot of pain in your future, a lot of agony. I see the cause of that pain, too. You’re looking at him, right now. You’re looking at..

Suddenly, Mikey’s eyes pop open and he lifts his head.

ME!

He stares into the screen, however this time, the viewer wishes that his eyes were still elsewhere, because they were terrifying. They were the eyes of a serial killer, and they were looking for their next victim.

Mikey begins to laugh as the scene fades into the DARKNESS.
