Headaches & Hazbins: Book 1: New Kind of Life, New Kind of Hell

Chapter 11: Exterminated

A Month Later...

???: (Asleep) *Snore*

[The room is dark. Jerry is lying in his bed snoring loudly. His right arm is dangling off the side of the bed and he seems to be barely clutching a wrench in his right hand even though he's asleep. His left arm is still in a sling, though the sling doesn't look like the makeshift one Asher made. It looks like a new actual sling.]

Jerry: (Asleep) *Snore*

[It looks like he was working or tinkering later than he should have been again. There are papers and small empty crates scattered all around his room. The whole place is a mess, it's a miracle he gets any work done.]

Jerry: (Asleep) *Snore*

[He continues to snore loudly before a louder noise seems to wake him up.]

*Loud Ringing*

Jerry: (Half Asleep) Eh?- What the fuck?

*Loud Ringing*

[An alarm clock on the ground next to his bed starts ringing.]

*Loud Ringing*

Jerry: (Half Asleep) Ughh...

*Loud Ringing*

[He hits the alarm clock with the wrench he's holding causing it to stop. He lets out a groan before tossing the wrench he's holding somewhere in his room making more of a mess.]

Jerry: (Half Asleep) *Groan* Uhhhhhh... Goddamnit...

[He sits up and rubs his head.]

Jerry: (Half Asleep) Wha- What did I do last night?

[He looks around his room confused. His eyes stop on his blueprint table and the numerous bottles of booze on the ground around it.]

Jerry: (Half Asleep) Oh... Yea... I was drinking and tinkering again...

[Jerry moves to the side of his bed and stands up. He walks over to his blueprint table and grabs his apron which is hung on the side of a chair. He puts it on and ties it around himself. He then stretches his head and rubs his forehead.]

Jerry: I wonder if I came up with anything interesting last night? Whatever it is, it's probably impossible to build.

[He looks down at his blueprint table and glances at the blueprint resting on it. The blueprint seems to be for some sort of weapon. An arm-mounted blade to be exact. Most of the writing on the blueprint is gibberish but the schematics are completely legible.]

Jerry: Huh... That could- That could theoretically work... Definitely gonna come back to this one...

[He walks away from his blueprint bench and towards his bedroom door. He opens the door and walks into the hallway. He looks at Asher's bedroom door across from him.]

Jerry: Hmm... I wonder if Asher is awake...

*Loud Clang*

???: FUCK!

[A loud noise followed by yelling can be heard coming from the workshop.]

Jerry: Yep. He's awake.

[Jerry walks away from the bedroom doors and walks over to the slightly open workshop door. He pushes the metal door aside and steps inside. He looks around for Asher and eventually spots him near the truck, seemingly working on the engine. He's dressed in his normal attire, maroon vest and all. Jerry shakes his head.]
