Book Ideas - 2015

Current Ponderings:

1) "Operators Manual: Of Life"

This book is structured like an owners manual for a car or vehicle. The drawings are of vehicles as well.  However, the descriptions of each part, system, etc. pertain to the human's spiritual existence.  Each element is designed to teach doctrine and eternal principles that can be applied on a daily basis.  A parable of life.  Many notes and outlines have been written for this book.  If I am able to publish one book, this would be the one.

1) "The Word and The Life"

A seven book series written in a more "Chronicles of Narnia" style, using symbolism to describe doctrinal beliefs.  Each book would cover a portion of the seven dispensations described in the Bible and other sacred works. The first book would revolve around the story of Cain, while the last book would describe the restoration of all things and the end of the world.  Many notes and ideas have been written on this series.  All seven books will need to be heavily outlined and written before the first book if the first book is to be released.

2) "Modern Conspiracy: Ancient Methods"

This book would be written in a Facebook feed style, following various people, groups, public figures, etc.  The story would surround a future soldier of an old America and the upcoming new world order.  The messages would be written to his brother, a more conservative, individual who believes in the ways used to be.  The soldier would believe everything the government says and is a big proponent to the direction of things.  Topics to be discussed could be: Gun control, plastic temporary guns, all in once vaccine for each year, loose definition of marriage, not for children, roommate theory, easy divorce, artificial womb, etc.  

3) Book of Theories

A book of a bunch of BS theories with a disclaimer in the beginning of them being false.  Written as if the author believes all these things.  The author has visions, dreams, etc.

4) "Time Trapped"

A man prepares for bed and kisses his wife on the cheek as she lays asleep in bed.  As he backs away, he discovers he is in a different place at a different time, and that is not his wife.  The story follows the character as he travels from place to place, with no intention of his own.  Some of the characters he encounters might follow him as well.  Through the travel, he learns things about his life, about himself, and how to be better.  His greatest hope is to return to his wife and family.

Past Contemplations:


1) "The Ultimate Video Game."

The main character, Jake, was a creator of an incredible video game system. More advanced than any others. It has a huge hard drive and a ton of ram. It is almost like a different world that is all digital. Right before the game system is about to come out a man comes to meet Jake. Bartholomew Caswell, aka Chad, drops by to talk to Jake. Chad has been funding Jake's video game company. Chad told him of a theory that he had. "What would you say if we lived in a video game?" His theory was that we live in a computer. And the people in the real world are extremely advanced. They were so advanced that they needed an ultimate reality show. So, they created a computer with a different world in it. It was so advanced that is was able to support human life. They placed two people in the system, an Adam and Eve type of couple. Thousands of years later Chad comes out with this theory, which turns out to be the truth. They have to decide whether they should stay living in the computer, or find a way out. The story would have ended with Chad , and Jake constantly running. An ending exactly like "Fahrenheit 451" which is the reason why I stopped writing the book.

2) "Brothers of the Stars"

The son of a farmer witnesses a UFO crash near his childhood home.  Later in life, while he is teaching at a local college, a UFO crash happens in his town.  He is involved in talking with the pilot of the UFO with the police, because of his profession in Anthrapology.  This changes the course of his life.  He makes a connection with this man, seeks to protect him and change the political view on earthly and celestial aliens.  To learn more, please see the other post.  One of my ideas was for this book to become a three book series.

3) "Father and Father"

A boy is raised by two fathers.  He is physiologically and emotionally damaged from his childhood.  As he grows up, he befriends a female teacher in elementary school and high school that helps him through his life.  She fills a motherly role for him.  As he continues to grow up he meets a good girl that teaches him the value and importance of traditional marital relationships.  They date and marry.

4) "Life Above the Strip"

A girl grows up in a very worldly home where her family drinks, swears, and is involved in a lot of immorality, etc.  She is different, and very innocent.  The family thinks she is a bit odd.  To help her get her senses, they send her to Las Vegas, Nevada to college, where she can live a college life in the fast lane and get a grasp of life in this world.  While there, she refuses to partake of the Las Vegas life.  She meets a return missionary.  They date.  At some point they get in a fight, probably after he meets her family.  She tries to take on her families lifestyle.  They return together again and marry.

5) "He is a Civilian" or "I am a Civilian"

A man works for the army, undercover in a middle eastern community.  He is stationed there to blend in and keep an ear out for any terrorism acts, and anything that would lead him to the Taliban leader.  While there, he meets a lady who is poor, living on the street, and abused.  He saves her, perhaps from an attack, and protects her.  As life goes on, he loves and marries her.  Eventually he is captured, believed to be undercover, as he is.  They hold him for ransom and contact the US government.  During the call, they have him at gunpoint,and say they will kill him unless the US sends money, or aid.  The man claims he is a civilian, and to leave his family alone.  The tension rises and the government officials state, he is a civilian.  My original intent was for him to be killed, but the idea was very bare to begin with.

The Legends of Sir Joshua - Refurbished

The Legends of Sir Joshua

By The Power Pointer Brothers

Version 2.0
Once upon a time, 
In a fertile country lived a noble night, named Sir Joshua.  He received a letter from the king and queen requesting him to go to the castle.  As he journeyed to the castle on his noble stead, he ran into an old friend, Bartholomew Caswell.  He usually goes by the name Sir Chad.  Sir Chad was riding a donkey with his apprentice, Lancelot, following close behind.  Sir Chad had many years of schooling, for he had gone to Harvard with a man named Mr. Clark.  When Sir Chad saw Sir Joshua he said, "How are you doing my friend?  What Brings you this way?"

Sir Joshua replied with much apprehension saying, "What is the meaning of this?  I come all this way with no food or water and I don't even get a 'thanks'.  I pity you."

Sir Chad replied in astonishment, "Why art thou so grumpy my good friend?  I was just wondering where thou wert going."

Sir Joshua got very angry.  He turned around and shot Sir Chad in the back of the chin.  Lancelot stared at Sir Joshua with amazement.  Lancelot and Sir Chad were connected, like a rider and his dragon.  Because of this connection, Lancelot soon died.

As Sir Joshua was searching through the clothing of the two cadavers, a the fair princess Mary Jane rode towards him escorted by her royal guards. 

"I am the Princess Mary Jane, but I usually go by the name, Kings Men.  What about you?"

Sir Joshua looked into her eyes and fell madly in love with her.  He said, "I love you Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.  I have always wanted to say that."

Kings men suddenly passed gas saying, "Never let me eat Salt and Vinegar Chips Again.  It passes the gas like the kings Jester, Cosby, cracks jokes.  Let me see your Knight ID."

Sir Joshua handed the fair Kings Men his ID.

"It looks like you have to laminate it," Kings Men stated.

Sir Joshua quickly took out his trusty nickel and threw it at Kings men, killing her instantly.

One of the guards pulled out his light saber and force jumped off his stead, landing five feet away from Sir Joshua.  Luckily the guard did not know that this nickel had boomerang capabilities, and it came back killing him with the rest of the other royal guards, except for the one with false hopes of becoming the kings lawyer.

Sir Joshua looked through the princess's pockets and found a shopping list, which included: Ginger Ale, Beer Bubbles, and Double Bubble Cola.  The lawyer got very excited seeing the cola.  It was then that he reminisced of the time he had first had Flamethrower Burgers in LAW 101, at Boise State University.

As the lawyer and Sir Joshua talked, the lawyer revealed that the princess had a zygote in her system for nine days.  The Lawyer got a brilliant idea saying, "She is dead with this brilliantly placed Zygote free of charge.  All it is at this point is Embryonic Stem Cells.  It is my belief that if we were to harvest these for the future and sell them on the black market, we could make millions, which is equivalent to $100 in our days."

The lawyer offered a bag of Salt and Vinegar Chips, that were cooked in hydrogenated oil.

The Lawyer asked, "Could I be your squire?  I know many secrets of the land and would be willing to share my knowledge with you."

Sir Joshua said, "Yes, but you need a new name then.  I will call you Hydrogenation, Son of Razac."

Hydrogenation replied, "Thank you master, I know where we can get free copies of the video game Oblivion.  Shall I lead the way, or do you want to go somewhere else?"

"I do have an idea Hydrogenation.  You give me all your knowledge of the underworld and I will save your castle from a certain death.  I will save Padme's life.  That is an odd name for a castle.  Why did you name it that?"

Hydrogenation said, "My biceps hurt, but i really do not know why it is named that.  The underworld is easy to understand all you need to know is that everything is 42."

"All of a sudden it makes sense to me," Sir Joshua exclaimed.  "The number 42 is not the Meaning of Life.  For it is your age.  You have lied to Sir Joshua, Son of a Woman.  It is now that I realize that you have a sucky name.  Why did I call you that.  Some time in the future they will understand what a terrible name that is.  You shall fall under the curse of the lawyer.  From now on, the lawyer will be known as the scum of the earth.  And there is nothing you can do about it.  Now you shall die."

And so he did.  Josh hurried to the castle and said the password, "Four Letter Word."  The castle guards opened the gate to let Sir Joshua in.


The Kings men opened looked at Sir Joshua saying, "Hello though great and noble knight Sir Joshua.  This parchment is given thee to strengthen your armies and villages.  We have found thee worthy.  The parchment needs taken to a mountain of fire in the dark lands of Lord Rogers.  We give thee a query of journey.  Will you go out through the lands of the dark lord?  And, will you deliver the parchment to the depths of the flaming mountain?  If you choose not to you will be burned by the steaks."

Sir Joshua, "What type of steaks?"

The Kings Men replied, "New York."

Sir Joshua, "Oh, ok.  Well, I see that thou hast given me no choice.  I will go out and deliver the parchment to the fiery tongue of the mountain named Satin!"

Kings men, "Are you sure you are?"

Sir Joshua, "As my underwear says my name on them, YES."

Kings men, "That does not compute.  But there is some where else you need to go."

Sir Joshua, "Where else do i need to go?"

Kings men, "Washtin States!"

Sir Joshua got really mad.  There was not a state that went by this name.  There were no states at this time in history.  There would never be a place called Washtin, ever; past, present, or future.  Sir Joshua gave Kings Men the lazy eye.  In all of history, and history itself, there had never been given a more powerful and concentrated Lazy Eye.  A great wind came from the South picking up Sir Joshua as if he were a leaf.  He rose in the air 35 feet, when suddenly the whole castle turned into the city Bronx.

The guards turned into Vulcan, which was not very logical.  They picked up Sir Joshua and took him to their leader.  The leader of the city Bronx had an odd African named, Kaki Lambe, meaning Protector of the Harvest.  This disturbed Sir Joshua.  He wanted not to see this sight.  So, he started up a new, never before tried, laziest eye.  Something unexpected happened.  The wind came in from the North, not the south, picking him up an amazing 36.521 feet.  He turned into a magnificent Body Building Stud.  And the city of Bronx was wiped clear out of the third dimension to a forbidden area of the non-existent multi-verse.  There was a wide gap of nothing that would later be called Owasso, Oklahoma.

The nothingness was an Inheritance of a city called Orem, Utah.  Utah inherited it from some alien called Telituby.  But Sir Joshua did not care about this, for he left for Afghanistan.  He was on a quest to destroy the evil Osama Bin Laden.

As he reached the coast he looked for a ship in which to travel to Afghanistan.  There were none to be found.   He went to the city of Ricardo, the biggest port city in the Kingdom.  There he found a ship, The Lucy, which was captained by a man named Ricky.  The journey took five months.  Three days later they arrived in Afghanistan.  They were greeted by a welcoming committee named Al'queda.  They gave Sir Joshua three stones with many names.  These names were: Plant, Tree, Starry, and Fortify.  He took them proudly and ate the one named Fortify.  Something miraculous happened.  The stone that said Plant started shaking.  Sir Josh dropped the stone, and a huge talking tree grew from it.  

The tree spoke, "My name is the Great Kleenex, it have a quest for you.  If you succeed I will unlock the secrets of the other stones.  They will make you the strongest man in the multi-verse, and become a Wurm.  Will you take my quest on?"

Sir Joshua thought hardish.  It was a difficult thing to query.  He had never considered being a Wurm.  Just then, a squirrel fell out of the tree.  And he spoke, "You are the chosen one, yes.  You be well favored in mine eyes that do see glory.  You want to join me?  The answer is, Yes.  The tree can wait.  The life of a Wurm can be achieved in many ways."

Sir Joshua started to talk to himself, "Whoa, that squirrel just talked to me."

Squirrel, "Yes I did.  You are much bad at talking to yourself.  I can teach you the way."  He looked at Sir Joshua with much anticipation.  He had the eye of Jonathan.  It made him strong and convincing.

Sir Joshua, "Yes I will join you, Fred.  Whoa, how did I know your name?"

Fred, "I used the eye of Jonathan.  I teach you the way it work, say yes.  The eye of Jonathan is explained as this, it comes from drinking 5,000 cans of Dr. Pepper and eating acorns."

Sir Joshua, "Who did you drink 5,000 cans of Dr. Pepper?"

Fred, "I was inspired by the Wurms.  If one must become as they be, you must obey everything they tell.  Yes it is true, I have much indigestion.  But that is expected.  That tree there talks because of the toxic gases that pass through me."

"Wow, that sounds like fun.  But where, oh master, can I find this great supply of Dr. Pepper?"

"You first eat the green rock you hold there."

Sir Joshua ate the green rock.  His heart gave a jump.  He bent over and began to throw up.  After an hour he got back up, wiping his mouth.  He looked down at his barf to find Tiny, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.  Sir Joshua asked, "What on earth happened to me.  Where is the Dr. Pepper?"

Fred looked embarrassed, "Sorry, I am color blind.  You ate the Starry named one.  You must eat the next one.  Well, I am not sure much.  I would say that eating the rest of them be good."

"Whatever you say Fred," Sir Joshua stated.  He ate them proudly and began to jump up and down saying, "I need to relieve my bladder."

So Sir Joshua urinated on the big tree.  All of a sudden his urine started eating away at the tree until there was an opening large enough for him to walk into.  Fred said, "You have opened the way to the Trump Dr. Pepper Chamber.  We must both enter into the chamber, but be wary, there are many danger that await us in the chamber."

Sir Joshua said, "Whatever dude.  You know that I am unable to be killed.  If anything threatens me the author will kill them off."

"You need a girl, man."

They entered the trump hole.  Inside there was a large cavern.  They had never seen anything like it before.  The walls were covered in a thick slimy orange peel.  Sir Joshua walked over to the walls.  Fred cautioned him, "Be careful, the walls are not to be trusted."  Suddenly the walls started to move.  The orange peel started to gather into balls.  They became one large mass with no eyes.

"Its the Avatar!" Fred said to Sir Joshua.  "You must urinate to save yourself."

Sir Joshua started to work with his pants, "My zipper is stuck!"

"You don't have pants, kid!  Just do it," said Fred.

Sir Joshua said, "I thought I felt a draft in here."

Sir Joshua urinated on the Avatar.  The Avatar melted into a puddle of orange goo.  In the middle of the puddle there was a Timex watch.  Sir Joshua noticed this and walked towards the watch.  Fred yelled, "Don't do it kid, that puddle will turn you into an orange!"

Sir Joshua halted and as he turned around to talk to Fred he heard a gurgling sound.  The puddle was reforming into something, something unknown to Sir Joshua, a seductive female homo sapiens.

She was tall about the Author's Height, with long blond hair, sky blue eyes, and a figure any women would envy.  She opened her mouth and a weird gurgle sound emanated from it.  The sound then changed to the most seductive female voice, she said, "I am the keeper of the unlimited supply Dr. Pepper.  If you want it you will have to marry me, and give me children."

Suddenly a figure fell into the cavern, landing on all fours.  It was dark and covered with cockroaches.  It slowly crawled towards them.  The closer it got, the louder the chirping was.  It stopped ten feet away from them.  One of the legs broke out of its socket and lifted up forming an arm.  Another soon followed.  From the belly of the creature rose a distorted head with no face.  There were two bumps on the fore of the head.  They were getting bigger, and the skin stretched thin.  Soon the skin started to break to reveal two eyes.  More skin stretched and broke to make a nose and a mouth.  The hunch in the back started to shrink as the creature became more upright.  It looked somewhat human.  Hair started to sprout from the back and head.  The strands of hair braided together and wove to make clothing.  There it stood in a long silky brown robe.  It closed its eyes and took in a deep breath and roared.  When the last bit of breath was gone it opened its eyes, looking down at Sir Joshua, Fred, and the Keeper.

Sir Joshua and Fred spoke together, "It is the Dark Lord Rogers!"

Lord Rogers spoke in a deep voice, "I will Marry you, and make thee fertile with child."

The Keeper said, "I did not ask you, I hate you.  We have been enemies ever since you lost my Rubik Cube."

Lord Rogers said, "I never had your Rubik Cube, so I never lost it."

The Keeper looked at Fred saying, "So, will you marry me?"

Fred said, "Of course my darling.  I have loved you forever and the past, which will continue in future times."

"You have always had a way with words, my love."

Fred picked up a rock and placed it into his mouth.  He looked up to the Keeper and said, "For you, love, I will do anything."  He closed his eyes holding his arms out to his sides.  A low rumble commenced along with a bright green glow of Fred.  A cool blue fire immersed Fred.  The flames began to grow large and tall.  There was a bright flash and the fire was gone.  Fred held out his arm to the Keeper with his hand closed.  His fur had changed into a bright glowing gold.  He opened his hand that relieved a white gold raven ring embedded with diamonds.  "I will marry you, just as the gold ravens fly," Fred said.

The Keeper picked up the rings and said, "I will always love you, my darling Fred.  With this ring I thee wed."  As she placed the ring on her finger, she passed gas, and brown grass began to blossom.  And Fred got down to eat it.  Soon after there was a bright flash and Fred was human.  Only, he was still 11 inches tall.

He spoke saying, "I may be small, but my heart is large.  Metaphorical speaking."

Lord Rogers said, "I will make thee human size, if thou kills the dread Clown Food Face."

Fred said, "Where can I find him?"

Lord Rogers reply's "Say his name three times and he will appear."

Fred said Food Face three times and spaghetti fell from them the sky.  The spaghetti formed into Food Face the Clown.  Fred looked over at the dreaded Food Face, "Hello again Food Face."

Food Face, "Helloweh.  Weh shawl dwell."

"Dwell?"

"Dwell, you know, two peepeel faght to death."

"Duel, you mean.  Whatever.  You have never been able to speak well.  Well, it is time for me to kill you.  Then I will become beautiful like a man."  He closed his eyes and said, "I call upon the powers of the ancient rulers of Mosby Twins.  Akakatu!"

Food Face then fell into a plate of spaghetti.  The light went out and there was a strong circling wind.  A voice spoke, "Behold the holder of stones.  Fred."  The darkness cleared to reveal a beautiful old lady.

The Keeper spoke, "Fredisha, my love."  The two women embraced and kissed.  They then left to get married.

Sir Joshua, "That was disturbing."

All of a sudden the walls disappeared, revealing a huge refrigerator.  As Sir Joshua opened it he heard the a famous phrase from Rocky, "Astlela!"  Joshua looked in the fridge, there was a squirrel. The squirrel looked at Sir Joshua and said, "Hi, I'm Fred."

Sir Joshua yelled, "Why is the rum always gone?  You dumb squirrel, are you a lesbian too?"  He tore off the squirrel's head and ate it.  He put the rest of the body in his back pocked.  "Well, it is time for me to urinate again.  Where is the bathroom, I need to go to the gym?"

Lord Rogers said, "Use the refrigerator."

Sir Joshua did as Lord Rogers said.  All of a sudden 10,000 cans of Dr. Pepper appeared in the refrigerator.  An Oldsmobile pulled up with a good paint job.  "Ooooh, you are a dark lord aren't you.  You think you can out smart me with your temptations powers?  I am the trydarian.  Mind tricks don't work on me, only money.  No money, no parts, no deal.  And nobody else has a 314 Hyperdrive generator I promise you that.  You are evil, I call you Knight of Catan."

Lord Rogers replied, "I tried to make a deal with you but, I guess that you are too smart for my tricks, I am a Frisbee champ.  I will leave you here until you agree with my deal."  As Lord Rogers said this he disappeared along with everything else, except Sir Joshua."

Sir Joshua, "Lets see . . . Lord Rogers said this he . . . with everything . . . except me.  Uh, that was not in the script you Snicker Salad.  Go back and say the right lines."

Lord rogers then replied, "I tried to make a friend with you but, I guess you don't want to play with me.  I am not a Frisbee champ.  Why cant I make any friends?"

Sir Joshua, "Here is a friend."  He took out the headless body of the squirrel and gave it to Lord Rogers.

"Oh, Thank you so much.  My life is complete.  Is there anything I can do for you?  You have given me something that I cannot make up for."

"Well, you can THINK FAST!"  Just then the nickel, with boomerang capabilities came by and killed Osama Bin-laden.

"Thank you for killing my arch-rival Osama.  For this I consider you my friend," said Lord Rogers as he reappeared along with a fridge.

Just then Lord Rogers grabbed his chest and said, "Friends are forever, arteries aren't.  My heart is dying, and so am I.  Drink the Root Beer in the fridge to become a Wurm."  Lord Rogers fell to the ground dead as a door nail.  And then he was resurrected to his immortal Wurm body, which to this day nobody can describe.

Sir Joshua walked over to the camera man.  "What do we do now?" he asked.

The Camera man whispered to him, "It is time to go and join any Clique you want.  This will show that you are noble.  For, we are forever.  And when we go out to battle, it doesn't matter who we are against, because we will win.  We are on the authors side.  But, this does not make us weak.  We fight strong and hard.  Only when we are about to die are we saved.  For, it is the last days, we need not fear.  For Fear Factor is only a television show of the future.  We should concentrate and work on Feer Factor.  Together we can unite.  Together we can become one.  It is together that we prevail.  Now, who's with me?"

Sir Joshua yelled, "I am, all the way!"

"I expected more, but that is fine.  Now lets go to Disney Land, there we can start our resolve."

"Hold on, I'm thirsty.  I'll just have this root beer," Sir Joshua said as headed towards the fridge.  He popped the bottle cap, put it up to his lips and chugged the whole thing in on fell swoop.  He burped so loud the fridge broke into millions of pieces.  He felt his body changing, he felt like he could win any competition, even the toughest winter jump rope committees competition.  His body started to glow, and change into its Wurm form.  He felt like his organs were on fire, including his gonads.

Sir Joshua, "Whoa! I am a Wurm.  I did not know what to expect. -- Well duh, what did you expect? -- What is going on? -- You are a Wurm now -- I know -- You should know what a Wurm is like, why else would you study to become one and one -- What do you mean one and one? -- You are one, a Wurm, and one, for we all are one. -- I don't even know who I am talking to, where am I -- You are here and there, past and present and future, you are now and forever, you are infinite in all things ways and forms. -- So, when you say that I am one you mean -- I mean that we are one together, you are part of me, I am part of you, I am the leader of the Wurms, the Wurms speak as one voice -- Oh -- So are you ready? -- Yes."

The Wurms moved on in their life.  They went and conquered all that was peaceful and good, including rocky mountain oysters.  For whenever there was one pure soul, it would be taken into the Wurm and they became one.  But, as for the camera man.  He inherited a new name. 

"I am Cam, The Arignot!"

15 Things to Give Up the Need, for Happiness.


This is borrowed from another website as found bellow.  However, I thought they were very important not to mention.  I altered them for some uniqueness.  So, without further adieu, if you are seeking happiness ... don't forget to GUN it (Give Up the Need).

1. Give up the need to be right.  The happy seeker humbles not mumbles.
2. Give up the need for control.  Why control others if you can't control yourself?
3. Give up the need to blame.  Blame skips accountability, and leads to loneliness and depression.
4. Give up the need of negative self-talk.  The overly humble only punish themselves.
5. Give up the need of limiting beliefs.  If you limit yourself, you limit your predestined potential.
6. Give up the need to complain.  Set aside your complaints, forget yourself, and joy in the small things.
7. Give up the need of criticism.  For who is better to criticize but the critic.
8. Give up the need to impress.  The only one you need to impress is yourself, and do it silently.
9. Give up the need to resist change.  Everything good in life requires much needed change.
10. Give up the need of labels.  Let God deal with the labeling, and build up your own.
11. Give up the need to fear.  Set aside the restricting fear, and stride to your ambitions.
12. Give up the need of excuses.  Excuses have little worth but to avoid using.
13. Give up the need of the past.  The past is as important as the first mile-marker of a journey.
14. Give up the need of attachment.  Don't attach with fear or anxiety, but attach with love.
15. Give up the need of others' expectations.  Forget what others think, they don't know where you are going.

The Prophesy of the Ruby Kings

By The Power Pointer

Chapter 1

A Night at the Junkyard

It was late one night 
when John Bal John heard a loud noise out of his bedroom window.  “Great,” he said, “Hey Bow Les, we’ve got another cat.  It’s your turn tonight.”


Bow Les leaned foreword in his bed feeling around for his glasses. His first two steps off his bead felt like walking on a large boat.   “Why tonight,” he muttered as he walked out the door to the hallway.  He stopped at the refrigerator.  The fridge was divided top to bottom between his and his brothers food.  Bow Les peeked over the fridge door as he grabbed one of John’s Pepsi’s.  Taking a sip he opened to door to the junkyard.

John and Bow Les were half owners of the junkyard in Labrit, France.  Their uncle Brice Barton was the proud owner of all the junkyards in South Western France.   He had told John and Bow Les that they could keep it if they worked as if they owned it for five years.  They had been living there for a month and hated it.

“Five years,” Bow Les said looking over a quarter mile of trash.  He reached behind the open door pulling out an old green broom.   “Here kitty,” he said under his breath.  Bow Les started out the door looking left to right.  “Which one,” he said looking at the rows.  The junkyard was made of thirteen long rows of piled trash that ran the length of the quarter mile.  “Aisle G, the lucky G,” he said.

The brothers knew of three places that cats usually would look for food.  The end of aisle G came from the township of Garein.  The trash there wasn’t any different from any of the other towns, but for some reason the cats loved it.


Having only walked ten feet down the aisle Bow Les stopped by an old rusty bike.  It was very exhausting chasing around cats especially at this late hour.   He dropped the can of Pepsi and kicked it to the side.   It was a junkyard.  He stooped down and picked up the bike and started down towards the cat’s possible kitchen.

Why did he have to do this?  When his uncle first approached him and his brother with the junkyard he thought it was a good way to stay out of school.   He never liked the idea of learning a profession.  But after chasing cats every other night school didn’t sound like a bad idea.  Just the thought of staying there for five years was bad enough.   He didn’t want get stuck with it forever.

There was a noise up ahead.  Bow Les stopped the bike just in time to watch a tin can roll in front of him.  He jumped off the bike holding the broom like a sword and began ascending the pile of trash.  He reached the summit and scanned the yard.  He saw four black cats running, following a brown leader.
“John,” he yelled, “I need back up!”

Bow Les heard an echoing moan from the house.   “What,” John replied in the distance.“They are headed for Brocas town in aisle M,” he yelled.   Bow Les ran across the ridge of the pile another three yards jumping fast at a heap of banana peels.  They had set up a slimy slide down the hill for just an occasion for a quick descent, though this had never been attempted before.  It worked almost too well.  Bow Les found himself thrown with great momentum across the bottom of the aisle at the adjacent trash wall of aisle H.


John came running out the door with two shotguns.  He was running along the head of the aisles looking for Bow Les.  After a few moments with no success he yelled, “Bow Les, where are you?”

He walked past aisle H just in time to see his brother fall down from the wall of trash.  John ran down the aisle toward his brother.  “What happened to you,” he asked.

Bow Les pointed, shaking, at the slide of slime they had created.  John then looked behind him to see a perfect imprint of his brother in bean dip and motor oil.

“Get up,” he said pulling Bow Les to his feet.  He handed him a shotgun and started to ascend the trash hill.  Wobbling back and forth Bow Les fell back to the ground.

John raised up his shotgun scanning the horizon of trash muttering to himself, “Mautoire, Hourats, Branenx, and Brocas!”  He fired watching an explosion of trash.  Just right of the explosion three cats ran across the ridge.

“I’ll stop them,” Bow Les yelled riding on his bike to head them off.

John began descending and ascending adjacent trash hills to get a closer shot.  He stopped at the top of aisle K.  He could see Bow Les running to the top of aisle M.  The cats turned around running the other way on the ridge.


Bow Les stopped and raised his shotgun.  “I’ve got you,” he said taking aim.  The cats were heading towards a hump in the hill.  “Oh no you don’t,” John yelled raising his gun.  The cats jumped for safety behind the hump.  The brothers both fired.  A huge explosion erupted red throwing both brothers down their respective hills of trash.

Bow Les found himself lying upside down at the bottom of the hill.  Something was dripping on his face from above.  It was an old toilet cracked in two.  “Oh, yuck,” he yelled rolling out of the way of the drip.


“What is that,” he heard John yell.

“What is what,” Bow Les responded.

“That red glow from where we shot at,” John yelled back.

“I’m on my way,” Bow Les yelled.  He ran limping up the hill stopping to kick the toilet.   It broke and one half of it crashed down to the bottom.  As he approached the summit he could see a red glow in the dusty air.


“What is that?  Looks like some sort of box from here,” John yelled.

“I’m coming,” Bow Les mumbled.  He started to jog across the ridge.  The closer he got the less sure of himself he became.  What was that thing?  What could make such a red glow?  He slowed his jog clutching his shotgun tight.   The explosion had caused a fifteen-foot crater in the pile.  The glow was coming from the middle of it.  Set in the bottom of the crater was an old refrigerator.

“It’s a fridge,” Bow Les yelled.  He pulled the gun back up in case a cat came out of it.  The fridge door was open away from him.  He could see the old stained inside of the fridge.  But the glow was coming from the other side of the door.  He was four feet from the fridge.  He took a couple other steps and reached out to the door still holding the gun.  He pushed the door shut.  He looked over at John one ridge over, “You’ve got to see this.”

It took John a few minutes to make his way over and up the hill.  Just before reaching the gaping hole of a crater a cat ran past him.  “Aaah! Stupid cat,” He yelled throwing the nearest object at it, which happened to be his gun.

“Nice throw,” Bow Les said.

“Yea, thanks,” John said.

The two of them sat next to the old fridge looking at a red glowing ruby that was set in the handle of the door.  “What should we do with it,” Bow Les asked.

John reached to touch it and said, “Do you think it comes out?”“Do we dare,” Bow Les asked.

Just as John’s hand touched the ruby, it fell out into his hand.  “That’s a strange feeling,” he said.  He handed the ruby to his brother.

“Oh my gosh,” Bow Les said in amazement.  Just holding the ruby filled him with a great feeling a peace and power, though he never thought of himself as being anything that special.

John took the ruby from Bow Les.  “We need to hide this,” He said, “put it somewhere safe.”

“What if someone comes looking for it?” Bow Les asked.

“I don’t know, make a fake one,” He said.

Bow Les looked to his left and picked up what looked like the bottom of a broken glass bottle.  “I hope this works,” He said looking at it.  He then held it hear the hole in the handle.  “I don’t know why it would work,” He said.  Just as the glass touched the handle it transformed, looking as though it was melting.  Bow Les let go pulling back his hand.  The glass now looked like a non-glowing replica of the true ruby.

“Wow,” John said, “How did you know that would work?”

Bow Les touched the fake ruby and ran his finger down the handle.  “I didn’t,” He said as he read an etching in the handle:

“Ruby of the Kings”

Story #6 : Fred, the Power Pointer

Fred, the Power Pointer

By The Power Pointer Brothers
Fred, the son of William and Julie Craigo, was an Amonorg. An Amonorg is a small creature the size of a mouse to us humans. They look a lot like us, just with rather large heads and a long pointed face. Fred was a larger Amonorg. He looked like a tennis ball with legs. He went on a long journey with a man named Josh. They were involved with the Great War of Oswasso. In his journey, his friend Josh turned to a dark path which nobody could follow. Fred tried hard to turn Josh's heart back to a brighter one. While he tried to change Josh, he was infected by the dark and was slowly changing. But, in the end, Josh's heart was changed, and he left as spirit. Fred then became great,as an Arignot. His new journey was to establish peace where it was needed. His first attempt would be at the planet Ponderus. There where jungles all over the planet, and it had many rivers of flowing water, fresh water. It was the only planet that humans could live on in the galaxy. There was a city called, Ori, a city of many people searching for the great noble cause, to become gods. They were failing at this, they fought others and killed those who did not believe in what they did. Fred's assignment, teach the people the correct way to become gods.
Fred chose to show himself in a male human form. This required him to use a substantial amount of energy, so it made him faint. When he woke up he was in a jungle, naked, for a few seconds he forgot who and where he was. When he remembered who he was, he created clothing out of things he found in the jungle. He was five miles north of Ori. He realized that we was back to his small Amonorg form. He did not understand this. It took him many decades to learn how to change form. He forgot how to change form, since he had woken up. He walked to what he thought was north, in search of the city. He had never been on thins planet. There were two suns which each had their own orbit. This planet was literally the center of the universe, everything revolved around it. Because it was the center of the universe, there was an immense gravity pulling every way. This made it difficult to walk.
He found his way to a small clearing. He looked up at the sun. "Where is north? Is there even a north here?" Said Fred. He was disoriented. He stood in the center of the clearing and looked all around. He tried to spot something that he would recognise. He found something. He chose a direction and started walking.
He entered a very thick part of the forest. The trees and other plants were so thick that he walked sideways and squose through the plants. He had to climb up trees to be able to pass the larger rocks. As he took a break on a branch, a large dart hit next to him. It looked like it was made by some sort of native. While Fred was distracted, he heard a twig snap. He turned to see what it was. There was a large dark blue figure that grabbed him and placed him in a pouch.
He tried to adjust his eyes so he could see where he was. He started to see edges of what looked like a shrunken head. Ten minutes later he started to hear a bunch of cheering. "Oaha! Yo dude, ya found zeh Borg? Oh man!" A voice called.
He was taken out and plopped down on a table. He rolled over on his back to see what was happening. He could see a large canopy of people overhead. They were the natives. He was terrified. A short man pushed people out of the way, so he could see Fred. He had a large amount of face paint on him. "Oooh. Yo man," The man said. He was the tribe leader. He put his index finger up his nose. He cranked it around, as if he were trying to tear it off. He retrieved the finger and rubbed it on Fred's chest.
"Aaaah! Oh, why on earth, you infidel!" Fred yelled.
The crowd got really excited and started to jump up and down. The leader calmed everyone down. "Shu shush!" He started, "You speaken engwish?"
"Yes," Fred said.
"Oh, yo be good sir with us. We, choose you friend in us." He put his hand over his chest, and gave a short bow.
Fred took a look around the room at the villagers. He could tell they were not cannibals. "Do you know where the city Ori is?"
"Uuuh! You seek teh land of Orie. They no be as us. You go dere and detray us. No!" He said.
All of a sudden, Fred felt his body change. His legs and arms stretched, his back stretched and he changed into a male human. The villagers were freighted. The leader exclaimed, "Evil!!! Bad JU-JU!"
"Don't be frightened. It is still me, Fred." replied Fred as he sat up. "I am here to help. I'm here to teach the Orians about peace."
The villagers heard this and they prepared for war with the Orians. The leader said "Lets go!"
"Why are you doing that? I'm here to stop them from killing others." explained Fred.
"Peace, be fight ,YA!" replied the leader.
"No, peace means not fighting. War means killing others. Why do you know the word, peace as fighting?"
"The great Momagomi, said so!"
"Tell us the story, Joshyah!" said on of the men while looking at the leader.
"I shall, but I will at the tribal show tonight! But we we must show Fred Mateing!" said Joshyah.
"What is mating? I hope you don't mean make little versions of yourselves?" asked Fred.
"You will find out!" yelled Joshyah, "Let the Mateing begin!"
All of the adults formed two sides, one consisting of all females, the other of all the males. The male team spilt in half. Then a ball was brought out, clearly Mateing, it was a sport for the people of the village. The two male teams fought for control of the ball. When on of them got the ball over a certain line, he was excused from the game, and choose one of the females and took her away from the rest. Each set of male and female did not return from the jungle for at least twenty minutes. Fred, though he had an idea of what was happening away from the field the game was played on.
"Now, I will tell the story of Momagomi, " said Joshyah after the game was finished and food was brought out, along with musicians, each with his own instrument with many strings. "The story takes place many years ago," Fred was astonished that he was able to speak English perfectly. "Years ago in a far off land. The people of the Ori and our people were one people. We were called the Biologyasos. We were a happy people, one in harmony. But, there was a time when there was a controversy between the Yashooni, chief, and the people. Usually the people follow the chief no matter what he says. But, this time was different. A person came up with his idea and talked to the chief. His name was Dooanta. Dooanta met with Yashooni and told him the other idea. They argued for several minutes. Dooanta got kicked out and lost his home and job. He had no idea what to do. He gathered a group of people to rebel against Yashooni. After a year of controversy, the people were split in two."
"So," Fred said, "Which person was the start of your people?"
"Yashooni, was. He was the most loyal, he and his people. Dooanta was the one who rebelled and still does today. When the people left in the two groups, Dooanta took the land that we once had. The people of Yashooni had to leave to the land southward."
"But, what was the controversy that led the people apart?" Fred asked.
"Yashooni's cook came up with a recipe of a new food. They called it piska, or something."
"Do you mean pizza?"
"Yes," said Joshyah, "Dooanta knew that this food would take over the people. It would, at some time, control the peoples money pouches. Yashooni found out, after the first sample of the food, that he was right. He was not going to let it take over until it was properly tested. And it was. Doanta and Yashooni came together as representatives of their people. They were going to fight to make peace. We came to war and fought. Yashooni lost the fight. Today, we fight for peace in remembrance of Yashooni. So, in final, peace means to fight. How else can we make peace?" The people started to talk, each agreeing with what he had said.
"There is another way to teach peace." Fred said.
Joshyah and the tribe leader got their things together to study. They looked so intense, as if they were going to be graded. Joshyah, even brought an hour glass so they would know how much time would pass. Fred said "Argue, Astor Van Hoover!" and a book appeared in his hand. "People, I present to you the Great Book of Weather and The Clouds of Many Book! These holds the truths of peace," exclaimed Fred while he showed it to the people. "This book tells us how to reach the highest form of peace and enlightenment, Disneyland, the happiest place on earth." Fred spent the next three days teach the people about how to reach Disneyland. He taught them from the books of Honda and Toyota.
"We have heard and will follow this path. May we each have a copy of these sacred texts?" asked Joshyah.
"Yes!" Fred answered then wave his hand and a copy of each book appeared for each of the listeners. "But, you should understand that the books are not sacred, that would be a form of idolatry." He handed the booklets around the crowd. They were looking at the pamphlets, and started to talk amongst each other.
One of the people looked up and asked, "What are these things, and why do you call them bad?"
"Oh, sorry about that," Fred said. He did not know how far behind in technology they were. He guessed that they would have cars at least. "What is your name?"
"My name is Raymond, what do rub your head for?"
"Oh, did I? Uh, never mind that. You need to find peace with the Ori. Where I come from there is a place we meet regularly. The place is situated on the cleavland rocks, there are lines of these two rocks. They are icons of worship called actors and actresses, refereed to as twins." Fred said.
"We will obey you!" Raymond yelled.
"No, that was an example of what not to do. You and the Ori need to become one like, like a PO box. You need to be like bloggers and put in your comments to unify the blog, or people in this case."
"What are you talking about?" Announced the chief.
Fred realized that they had no idea what these things were. He spoke, "Each midsummer night's dream, you need to go to the Ori and give them presents of peace. After three years you will be one people, the Biologyasos, once again. If you don't you shall be cursed with a plaque until you have repented and done the task I have given you."
"What should be our first gift to them. Oh Great Caren!" asked the Joshyah.
"First off, why did you call me Caren?"
"It means you our the great solver of problems. The Caren before you had a dream, a dream to solve our nose problem, snoring. In the dream, he walked to a great snoring canal. There he heard someone called Britney Spears, sing a song sounded like 'Shibby doo da wa cha!' She had tube that said carpet cleaner in right hand, and remote in other hand. There was a people box, a box where small people appear. She turned channel from a game of Matieng to a new game 'Whose line was that.' They had infomercials on our problem. He woke, and taught us. Then he died a year later." replied Joshyah.
"Well, I think you should create a song for the Ori. I will be back, I must go teach the Ori, which way to their village?" asked Fred. Joshyah pointed north. Fred, went in that direction. He traveled for three hours until he entered a clearing. He heard rustles in the bushes. All of a sudden five darts flew from several bushes hitting Fred in the chest, he felt fatigued and fainted. When he came to he was in his Amonorg form, and tied to a stake. He felt as if he was run-over by a semi-truck. He looked up to see one very tall person, completely naked, standing directly over him. Fred put his hand up to his head. He had a bad headache. He didn't know if he was conscious or dreaming.
"What is you?" The tall figure asked.
"Oh," Fred moaned, looking directly up at the figure. "I don't know. I think I saw Uranus.
The figure started to laugh, "You say you sea a planet? I once went to the head chief and asked him about the planets. He sent me on a many incredible stormquests."
"That's a likely story," Fred mumbled.
"What you say?" He yelled, "What do you last remember."
"I almost got run-over by a semi!" Fred looked around the room looking for someone or something.
"You know name of you? Or not? Eh?"
"What, are you Canadian?" There was a moment of silence. Fred looked around the room again. He looked back up at the man. "Did we meet?" He asked.
"What? But, are you ok?"
"Shall we meet?"
"What are you from, a cult?" The man was getting angry.
"Lets call me Chubbuck. Whats your name?"
The man looked around the room timidly. "My name is Zachary. I haven't told many people my name before."
"No, that's not your name. I'll call you Brother Seagull."
Suddenly another man came into the room. He was especially short. He looked up at the taller man. "Hey, Chiefster, what have you found about him?"
"I am worried. He talks oddly. He mentioned something about a semi-truck."
"What is that?" Asked the shorter man.
"Whats your name?" Asked Fred to the shorter man.
"Oh," He said, "I am one of the leaders. My name is Starse."
"Your name should be Tumor." Fred said. "My name is Chubbuck by the way."
Starse looked at the taller man and said, "What is your name then?"
"Oh," Said the taller man, "Uh, he called me Brother Seagull."
"He is odd," Said Starse.
"I once knew a man named iPod." A drop of sweat ran down Chubbuck's head. "Man, I am feeling ill. Do you have packet of Adult Stem Cells by chance? If you don't, that's fine."
"I don't know," Said Brother Seagull, "What do they look like?" He grabbed Chubbuck and pulled him off the steak. He ripped off his clothes and yelled, "Sha sha ho feo fetus, ago lanto!" Chubbuck suddenly grew to human size, but he was still an Amonorg. The other two men were pressed against the sides of the hut. "Oh," Brother Seagull said, "Maybe I should have done that outside."
"Oof, I am pressed against this raft river thing, a thing in which you raft down a river. Argh, we should name this thing." Said Starse
"The name should be, a River Raft," Said Chubbuck.
"Oh, that sounds good," Said Brother Seagull. "Is there any way that we can get out of this uncomfortable position."
"Well, cant you turn me back? If you can turn me to this, you can change me back." Said Chubbuck.
"It is not that easy. As you might be able to see, I cant move my arms."
"Well, I cant see anything to do." Said Starse, "While we are sitting here, can you tell us anything about you, Chubbuck?"
"I will try to remember. Who are you people?" Asked Chubbuck.
"Well, we are the Ori." Said Brother Seagull. "Our people are small. We have many traditions which are even strange to us. We take the women and make children. If the child is a girl, we have a feast."
"Sometimes we even do it when it is a boy." Said Starse.
"Oh yea," Said Brother Seagull, "Anyway, after the children are made, we have a feast with the women."
"Ah, that sounds nice." Said Chubbuck, "You must really like each other."
"No, we don't. When I say that we have a feast, I mean that we eat them."
"We are cannibals." Said Starse.
"Oh, ok. Whatever that means." Said Chubbuck. "What caused you to have these beliefs?"
"Oh, well. Many years ago, just after our people split in two, there was a mystical asteroid that landed in our land. Because of it, we do what we do today."
"How can that make you go eat people as a tradition?" Asked Chubbuck.
"Uh," Said Brother Seagull, "It was the media. Anyone will believe the media."
"Ah, that is true." Said Chubbuck. His head was pressed against the ceiling. It was hard for him to see a thing. He noticed that he was slowly expanding, three inches per second. "Oh, I am so happy that you make these huts so strong. It appears that the hut is just stretching as much as I am." Brother Seagull and Starse were in a lot of pain. They felt like they were being pressed thin. "So," Said Chubbuck, "Why are your people all naked?"
"Well, ow." Said Starse, "The fashions were getting terribly odd between the boys and the girls. The boys were growing long hair, and the girls--ooow!"
"They," Continued Brother Seagull, "They were taking testosterone for breakfast. Things were getting odd, all right, ow."
Starse continued, "Because of this oddness we had to make a change. If we unclothe ourselves, then we could tell who was what."
"And because of our traditions," Starse said, "tradition of cannibalism, we needed to be able to tell gender. Ahh! Why do you keep expanding?"
"Ow," Said Chubbuck, "I have no idea. Brother Seagull was the one who changed me with some mystical spell. Owww! I am just as uncomfortable as you are, if not more."
An hour had passed, and the hut was very thin. It was so thin that you could see through the walls at the three guys inside. The whole village of twenty people surrounded around the hut. The hut, at this point, had a diameter of around 346 feet.
"Aaarrgh!!!" Chubbuck yelled. "What a stupid hut. Your people are helpless. They have been gathered watching us for half an hour now."
"Well," Said Starse, "That one kid tried to pop the hut with a pin, and that didn't work."
"So, why is your village so small? I can only could around 15 or 18 from my view."
"Our village has 22 people in it." Said Brother Seagull.
"It is so small, because of that darn cannibalism tradition. We get hungry and we eat. That is why there are no weak thin people in the village, we have already eaten them." Said Starse.
"You need to work on that problem," Said Chubbuck.
All of a sudden there was a strong wind that blew from the East. The hut lifted off the ground and bounced several hundred miles. Each bounce, the hut landed on a poor little chicken, and then landed on a huge tree stump.
"Oh my, goodness! The poor little chickens!" exclaimed one of the watching women.
All of a sudden the eldest member of the village, who was called Car Pool, ran to the hut and said "Oh, how stupid was that! Why did you have to go and do that Jack! I always have to fix your mistakes my apprentice, what am I going to do with you?"
Car Pool began chanting a phrase that sounded like he was saying, "Can you call my husband a goddess! "
Fred started shrinking each time the phrase was said it took an hour for him to return to regular human size.
Then Car Pool did a gesture with his hands and Fred took on the form of a male human.
"Thanks," gratefully said Fred "It was getting crowded in there," as he and the others got out of the hut.
"We are hungry, bring out the women!" yelled Starse.
"No, don't do that!" exclaimed Fred, "You guys need to stop eating each other."
"What should we eat then?" asked Starse
"I know you guys should start eating the fruits in this forest. Are there any edible ones near by?"
"What is your favorite fruit to eat?" asked Brother Seagull.
"I love apples!" replied Fred. As Fred finished saying this, there was a great rumbling in the ground. The stump that the hut had landed on started glowing, and then from it grew a fully grown apple tree with ripe red apples.
The villagers started praising and bowing at Fred. He was chanting "Power Pointer! Power Pointer!" in a methodical rhyme, almost as if the where drums.
"What is a 'Power Pointer?'" asked Fred.

Car Pool stopped chanting and bowing, and stood up and said "There once was a man. He sought to find the one great power. But on his journey he found something surprising to him. There was not one great power, there were many. But which one would he choose to follow? That is where his job came in. He became The Power Pointer."

"But why am I the Power Pointer?"

"The prophecy of the Power Pointer says that that tree stump will bring forth what ever fruit the Power Pointer says. So that makes you the Power Pointer!" explained Car Pool.

"Well, then maybe we should eat, I am hungry. Everyone, take an apple!" commanded Fred.

The village stopped there praising of Fred and each member picked an apple. After each had eaten an apple, theirs eyes started to glow. Then they all looked at each other and said, "Why are we still all naked, we should not have taken up such a foolish tradition?"

They then ran into the jungle and made themselves clothing. They then returned to the tree to listen to Fred. Car Pool asked Fred, "Will you tell us a story, oh great Power Pointer?"

"Yes," answered Fred, "Have you ever heard the Legend of Sir Joshua?"

"No," they replied. Fred told them the legend, he then ate an apple from the tree, his legs started to tingle.

"Why on earth do your legs look like that?" Brother Seagull asked while pointing at Fred's legs.

"Holy Scottish Kilt!" Exclaimed Fred. There was a bright flashing coming from his legs. Many colors shone which nobody had yet seen. The ground started to shake and give forth bright light also. A small child by the name of One Tooth came over to Fred. The child had his thumb in his mouth. He looked up at Fred and said with power, "You are a great soul. You have given much to this people. We have a great knolege of greed, shelglessness and temper. We still have much to learn and to learn from. But dont worry, I will take over thy stead." The child turned towards his little sister. She was pulling a large bowl looking thing along with her. "Fred," The child said, "This is the Passive Pensive. With this you shall teach us your final bidding."

Fred picked up the Passive Pensive and turned to the people. He looked into the pensine and touched the bottom. A clear liquid started to apear out of nowhere. There he could see what he would become, and what to teach the people. He could see past, present and future. He cleared his throught and said to the people, "You are the begining of a great legacy. You have seen the Prophesy of the tree. This day shall be known as Apple Day. Both Scotsman and the Irish shall be known as Brother. The Egyptian shall become as pharos and pass away. You people have become one people. You shoud go and join your brothers. Just as a crossword puzzle gets compleated a new one comes again. Knowlege is power, and power in knowlege. You will not see me for some time. I bid thee welcome to a new day, and I say farewell."

Car Pool yelled, "But who will lead us then?"

One Tooth walked forward and said, "I shall lead people to greatness, just as the great Fred has done. I will lead you, the people, to greatness. But, you will need to have patience. I am still young. You will have to wait until I have more than one tooth." One Tooth turned towards Fred and said to him and the people. "The spirit, even the great spirit has let something known unto me. You know, dont you, Fred." Fred noded, he had seen it in the pensive. Suddenly the light coming from Fred's legs got really dim and his legs started to grow wider and taller. The rest of his body began to glow too. The village was getting scared. They didnt know what to do. They feared for their lives.

"Fear not," Said One Tooth, "The prophesy is at hand."

Fred yelled in pain. Everyone turned to look at Fred. What was happening. Fred's abdomen started to lengthen to ten feet. Because it was so long he fell over forward. His abdomen was like a snake. His arms up were lifted up by his snake like abdomen. Suddenly his legs changed form. He grew two more knees per leg. There was a loud cracking of his leg bones as this was happening. His toes molded together as one and grew two feet long to a sharp point. His feet were like the poisonous end of a scorpion's tail. His two tail-like legs lifted in the air and hunched over as if they were ready to strike.

One tooth watched this with much anticipation. He knew what was happenig. As this was taking place he too began to grow.

Fred, at this point, was still growing into a new form. There was a crackling sound followed by a sharp ripping of skin. Fred was yelling louder than before. His arms suddenly fell off. Blood was porring from both wounds. But, something else was replacing them. Two skin-made bubbles started to inflate out of the two arm holes of his shirt. They started to form something human like. At the ends of them hair started to grow, then eyes and ears. He now had two heads for arms. They both started to blink and breath. They looked up at Fred. His left head said, "Hey there, my name is Freshile." And the right head said, "My name is Fredoodle." Fred was going out of him mind. What is happeing here. Why did he have two more heads. It was hard enough to have one.

One Tooth at was growing older. He now appeared to be the age of 23. He was a man now. He was very muscular and tall. But, he still only had one tooth.

Fred's head started to hurt. He could feel the absense of his arms. He wanted to grasp his head. Freshile said, "Oh, sorry that hurts. That is why we are here." Fredoodle said, "We are your suport group." Two thorns pierced through Fred's scalp. They suddenly turned and pointed straight up. They grew to one foot in length. When Fred oppened his eyes they both fell out. But, he could still see. The back of his eye holes were lit up by a yellow glow. He started to smile. He was getting stronger.

"Oh my gosh!" Someone yelled.

In the middle of Fred's back something was trying to break out of his skin. There were eight bumps on his back, two rows of four. His skin was stretching and streching. He was waiting for the skin to break. Suddenly it did. Eight black and hairy pole-like things shot out of his back, straight up in the air. They reached the height of twenty feet. They each suddenly bent in two places and each bent to touch the ground. They were like eight huge spider legs. They began to lift him in the air. He was like nothing anybody had seen before. Both rows of teeth melted together, until he had only two teeth. One on top, and one on bottom. He looked down at the people. The village shrunk to the ground and tried to hide. Fred bent his spider legs and jumped into the air. He could fly, using his two heads like rutters.

The adult One Tooth stood up among the people and said, "Behold, THE AMMONZAH!"

THE END

Story #5 : The Great War of Oswasso

The Great War of Oswasso
by The Power Pointer Brothers
Along time ago, in a Universe far far away. The galaxy, Oswasso, was in turmoil. Oswassos governement had betrayed its people and a civil war broke out. The only chance for peace was a military star fighter captian, named Joshua Todd. His faithful alien companion/co-pilot, Bryon the Oklahomian. They have currently been sent to the desert planet of Mueller to find a spy that has plans curtial to the victory of the military. The spy's name was William, the only human on the whole planet. He was rumored to be hiding on the outskurts of the town of Washtin. They exit their ship, to try to find William.
"I think we need to talk to some of the natives, Bryon." exlcaimed Josh.
"BURP-SLRUP-CHURP" replied Bryon in his native tounge, which means "OK! Boss!"
"I havent been on this planet before. So here is what we know. There is only one human on this planet. He lives in the outskurts of some town, Washtin. I am aware that he is the founder of this city. I dont know that much else. What about you Bryon?"
"Computing . . . Computing . . .," Said Bryon, for he was one of many robots the military owned. "The city is over that hill. Many strange creatures live there. We must take caution."
Josh looked towards the hill. He took a deap breath. "Ok, you know how much I hate alien like creatures. I just hope they are not dirtmen." Josh had a lot of experience with dirtmen. They were dwellers of dark caves and caverns. He considered them very evil.
The two of them headed towards the hill. When they got to the top, they looked down at the city. "Wow," Said Josh. The city was derived of several 'sky scrapers' of 15 feet tall. The city looked like a scaled down version of New York City, of planet Earth.
"What is this?" Josh asked Bryon.
"Computing . . . these creatures do not show up on any charts. They are specialized of this planet." Bryon said.
Josh looked around and rubbed his forehead with his foot. He had no idea what to think.
"Hey there!" someone said.
They turned around to see a man, of the race of Human. "My name is William." He said.
"What are these things?" Josh asked.
"Oh," Said William, "they are Amonorgs. I found them here when I first explored this planet. I felt so bad for them. I built this city for them. Surprisingly, they have found a way to suport me. Do you want a pizza?"
Josh looked at the Amonorgs, he wanted to tell the guys back home about them. But he couldnt describe them. They were like little mice, wo which humans look the size of the size grand tetons. They had five vocal cords, and there lanuage was unaudilbe to their main preadtors, the Razacs. Even though the Amonorgs were not edible for Razacs, the Razacs would use their hides for clothing. Five Amonorgs brought a 10 inch pizza, this was suprising sight to Josh, since he had never seen or herd of the Amonorgs, or known that they could carry many times their own weight.
"What type of pizza is that?" asked Bryon, while Josh's mouth hang open out of amazment.
"It is a pepperion," squeaked one of the Amonorgs.
"That is my favorite type!" exclaimed Josh, as he lunged towards the pizza.
"How did they learn english?" asked Bryon, while he scanned each of the Amonorgs in sight, for the purpose of research for the rest of the scientific community.
"Well, when my transportation crashed on this planet, I cried for a week. They already knew the language; I olny knew Dvorak before. But, I have taught them Dvorak, just in case there is an emergency."
He turned to one of the Amonorgs and said, "Jdt Cfpgdw hs tsf ,alk ks us sfk kslgujk?"
A little Amonorg looked up and said back, almost unaudibly, ":fodw G ps.d tsf ;s mfij."
"Wow," Said Bryon in an automatic response mode.
Josh said, "The cheese on that pizza was amazing. When I ate it I could hear a singing headless choir. They sang, 'Say hello my little friend'. That reminds me of a good friend of mine back home, Gulliver. I love you, my little friend. He was my leader."
Bryon computed for a minute. He could not learn the language, it was too complex. He said, "What did you two say back there in the language of Dvorak?"
William translated it to be, "'Hey julie, do you want to go out tonight?' and she said 'Well, last night was pretty fun. You want to make children.' She loves to eat turnips."
"You go out on dates with them?" replied Josh disgusted, and then whispered to Bryon, "That is something Fred would do."
"You mean Fred the squerril?" queried Bryon in a whispered tone.
"Not Fred from intelegence. Fred the groundhog, you know from the IT department."
"Oh, yah! That makes more sence, now!" replied Bryon, since he had turned on his personality chip.
"So, do you have the plan my friend?" asked Josh.
"Yes, here you go!" relpied William as he handed Josh a cell phone, "The code is 1987, followed by 1988."
"Good, we can leave now. Lets go Bryon."
"Sorry sir, but the ship has apparently broken, due to rough land on this planet. The engine is having porblems with the feedback generator, and I can not fix it myself. If we try to turn on the engines, the ship might just explode!" explained Bryon.
"By the love of meat! How do we get off this planet now that the ship is broken?" yelled Josh.
"Well," Said Julie, "I will go and get the Amonorg R3-C1. He was our first child." She looked up at William lovingly. William blushed and smiled.
Bryon could not compute this. The Amonorg was finding affection towards a human. Not only that, but they have had children. Bryons circuits broke and he shut down.
"Oh, dang it." Said Josh, "I will have to call the Great Groundhog. I dont know how to fix the 8i929hnni924i99dd035 robot series. Gosh, and I do know how to fix the 8i929hnni924i99dd034 series."
William felt realy bad about this. "Do you want a new companion?" he said.
"Yea, that would be great."
"Hey, Fred, come out here." A really fat Amonorg walked out. He looked like a tennis ball with legs. "This is fred, my first son. He will help you from here on."
"All Hail Fred!" Shouted Josh. He then looked sad and said, "But we shall die on this cursed planet. Darn ship."
Fred stood up higher and said, "Have no fear. I know how to fix your ship. For I am small."
"You better get us off the planet! Other wise I will eat you for my dinner, That pizza only made me hungrier!" demanded Josh.
"Be patiant, I will fix it, but I hope that your wires are Edible Wires, because that is the only type of wires I know how to fix!" retorted Fred.
"I have no idea what type of wires the ship has. That was Bryon's responsiblity. All I know is that the ship was made in Bountiful, UT, where ever that is!!" screamed Josh. As Josh continued to rant and rave, Fred went to work fixing the ship. After twelve hours, Fred was finished, he yelled, "Shut up! I have fixed the ship, lets start her up!"
"OK!" yelled Josh, "You don't have to yell!"
Both Josh and Fred entered the cockpit. Josh was last to sit down, he almost sat on Fred. "Your, chair is over there! That chair is yours!" said Josh as he pointed to a little seat on the control panel.
"WOW!" said Fred in grand amazement, "Why do you have a chair the perfect size for me."
Josh booted up the ship. Everything turned on fine. Fred had even upgraded the system from the old Windows Vista to the new OS X 10.9.3. Josh was much pleased with this. He sent a quick text message to the rest of the military. When they heard the news of the change they were very happy. They had never thought about the change to OS X. They sent him a text back saying, "You have been promoted to whatever position you want."
"Fred," Said Josh. "Do you want to take the ship out on its first upgraded flight?"
Fred was shocked. "Sure," He said. Fred then looked very sad. "Sorry, I am sad. I am leaving my best friend, Kirnack. I called him King Kirnack. We would play games where he would be Kirnack the Bryon Maker. And, I would be left being, Queen of the Kirnacks. We didnt have any girlfriends."
"Dont cry, once you start to fly this ship testosterone will take charge and you will forget all of that." Josh said. "I should tell you about how we got here. On my planet, Oswasso, there is a civil war happeing. I had to come out here to talk to William, your father. He gave me neccesary things to help us win the war. But, the travel was long across the galexy. Are you ready?"
"Yea," Fred said. He pushed a button making the ship levetate. He grabbed hold of the joystick and pulled up. The ship shot up into the atmosphere. As they passed through the atmosphere the stars started to show through. The sky became black. The planet had a rather small moon that orbited around the planet. They were aproaching it.
"Where should I go?" Asked Fred, "I havent been this far away."
"We are headed to the planet, Oswasso. And there it is." Josh pointed at the moon.
"Ok, boss! Where should I land the ship?" asked Fred, as they approached the moon.
"I don't care, just land this darn ship!" barked Josh.
Fred landed the ship right on top of a jumpy fella named, Runaway Jack. Jacke yelled "Home Run!" as he was chrushed by the ships landing gear.
"What was that?" asked Fred.
"I don't care! I'm just glad we finally made it here!" retorted Josh, while unfastening his harness.
"What is the first order of buisness, boss?"
"To get you a cingular cell phone!"
"But I want a sprint phone, sir."
"Sorry, but that is the law everyone must have a cingular phone! And we have to follow the law, or be killed." replied Josh.
They walked into the nearest Cingular store. "What are the models of cell phone for military personel?" Josh asked the saleperson.
"Hi, my name is Jack. Well, we have the Timber and Lumber avalable for free to military personel." explained the salesperson.
"What is the diffrence between Timber and Lumber?"
"Well, the Lumber is the top of the line. It can even make copies of it self. You will never have to buy another phone if you get the Lumber. But the Timber hardly works at all, and not to mention that it requires you to plant it for it to work. Which one would you like?"
"I'll take the Lumber!" replied Fred. Jack took all the required information from Fred, and activated Fred's new Lumber. As they left the store Fred asked "Where to Boss?"
"Wait," Josh said, "We have to make sure your phone is working first."
"It is."
"Do you have the phone number to IT?"
"What is that?"
"It stands for Information Technologies" Josh answered.
"Oh, IT. IT IT IT IT IT IT IT IT IT IT!" Fred shouted.
"Shut up you imbisole," shouted Josh, "So what programs do you have on your lumber?"
"Uh, VirusMaker,"
"Good, you dont have Windows Vista do you?"
"Heck no, I have MAC X"
"You should call it as it is, OS X 10.9.3. What else?
"Access 2007."
"What?! Get rid of that. Dont they know it is the year 3469? Call 1-800-Assasin. They will know what to do."
"Well, shouldn't we get the plans to the the Great PeaBrain, the leader of the military?"
"Yes, but he likes to be called, Military Man! We think he is an adict to sugar, and doughnuts." answered Josh, as he walked towars the tallest building in the city. They entered the building and used the elevator to ravel to the top floor, where PeaBrain worked. For some reason they each recieved a pack of sugar coated doughnuts for free from a vending machine in the elevator, which would not move until the doughnuts where taken from it.
"Why don't you eat your doghnuts, sir" asked Fred.
"Do you know where I am from? I am from the planet of the vegitarians, we don't eat meat or sugar. It is posion to our systems."
"AHHHH!" replied Fred, just as the elevator stopped and the door opened. They walked into a large room, with a long red carpet leading to a desk by the window. When they had walked half-way across the room, a man in a Superman outfit jumped in front of them and said, "My name is The Military Man Man Man Man! Ooooh, I smell SUGAR! OOOOH DOUGHNUTS! Give them too me, or die!"

"Why should I?" Josh said.

"Because," Military man said, "They are plans to build a giant water closet that will flood the rebels planets with waste of the government!"

"Oh," Fred Said. "Give it to him."

Josh gave Military Man the doughnut. Military man brought the doughnut close to his hairy chest. He closed his eyes feeling the power within. "Ahhh." He said. He held it up in the air and said. "We want peace. This is peace. The way of the doughnut shall save our people. Do you understand?"

Fred said, "Uh, I think I need to go to class, a different class."

"This is not a class!"

Josh rose his hand. Military man said, "Yes, you."

"I need to use the bathroom."

"Never mind that," said Military man. "Where is the car?"

Military man's butler, who was standing there the whole time, pointed out the window.

"Ah. Lets Ride!" He yelled.
All of a suden Josh realized that the rest of his family lived on one of the planets that the rebelion had an established base named Paper Box. And if the Government went throug with it's plan, his family would die. Josh loved his family, his mothers name was Allison, his father Mark, his married brother Justin, his sister, who was on another planet teach people, whose name I keep forgeting for some reason. So Josh pulled out his trusty star pistol, Cat in a Box. He aimed at Military Man, pulled the triger, and yelled "Kill the Cat!"
"They're here?" asked Military Man as Cat in a Box made a spooky sound and released a cat shaped lazer beam, which hit Military Man in the back and killed him instantly.
"Wow! A subordanate killing a superior! Like I never heard of that before!" exclaimed Fred in sarcasim.
His body fell out the window. On the sidewalk below, there was a mother with a baby stroler, stopping to talk to her little baby boy. The baby said "Check my diaper, please!" The mother had stopped to check it. When Military Man had fallen half way, the mother started moving again. The body of Military man just barely missed the mother and her stroller.
"What do you take me as, a traitor?" Josh asked the Guards.
The lead Guard replied "We have been working the curage to do that forever. We knew he had gone crazy the second he started calling himself 'Military Man Man Man.' Thanks for killing him, he was going to make a new law forcing everyone to use Windows Vista, and we all love Macs."
"What is your name?" asked Josh
"My name is Cromwell. I hope you don't think that you will be the new ruler of the galaxcy!" Said the guard.
"Of course not," Suddenly there was a loud sound, 'MEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!" The cat shaped lazer blew up the guard. Chunks of flesh went everywhere. Josh put a sample of flesh in a bottle. "This is a parlament of mac!"
The Mac God apeared on a computer screen and said, "You are a discrace to all mac users. You have the heart of a Vista Star, King of Microsoft. Leave this people, they mean you no harm." The screes turned off.

Josh turned and ran down an alley of the city. He was hidden for three days. Fred was worried about this. He had gathered many of the guards together. They were going to help Josh and bring him back to the mac fold.

"Ok, men. Are you ready?" Fred said to his men. "We are finding Josh and helping him out. He would do the same for us. We shall not call this a Civil War. It is a war for friendship. The coming together of friends. We are the Puritian." Suddenly there was a great light that shone above Fred. There was a compilation of many, but was one voice.

"Fred," The voice of many said, "You have been found pure. You have a great destiny ahead of you. You must bring back Josh, then you can fulfill your destiny with us, the Wurms."

"But, how can I keep pure in this battle?"

"It is the act itself that keeps thee pure, pure in heart." Fred thought about this. He knew what he must do. "Now go. Save Josh."

Fred gathered his things together. "Lets go men, now!" He turned around. There was a shadow in the alley. "Who is that?" Fred said.

"Only you would know."

"Josh," He said under his voice. "Come back. You know what is true and good. You know what you can become, and it is better than this."

"You need not speak of this. I have what I want. For I am," Josh started to come out of the shadows. Part of a dark cloake apeared. His hand grabbed the corner of a building. Suddenly he jumped out revealing his true nature. "I am the Vistiain!" His face was covered is fruit flies, which covered many sore spots of rotting flesh. There was a hole in the side of his cheak which he breathed through, and sometimes even spoke though. "In your eyes, I am lost!"

"I need you, the galaxcy needs you, turn to me." pleaded Fred.
"I will no longer call you Fred, you shall be George!" yelled Josh so loud that it scared Fred.
"I wet my pants! . . ." replied Fred.
"Go see a vetranarian, for your small blader, George. Take my pants and rub thy face in them!" yelled Josh. He then ripped his pants off and trew them at Fred. They landed right on top of Fred. Fred quickly ate a hole in the pants
"Stop calling me George. The Wurms have called me, Fred. This is what I insist you must call me that. Can you see the light, I can and you are in the dark, my friend."
"I don't agree. I will have to say that you are in the light, and I am in a mild environment. I shall rule the world, with my family by my side."
"No," Said Fred, "This is not what you really want. You know the truth, your afraid of it too."
"Liar!" He threw his shirt at Fred. It landed next to him. Josh was in nothing but his underwear which were yellow and green. The rotting flesh covered him. You could even see his pancreas beating. He held his hand up, pointing his bony finger at Fred. "Crown me or Kill me then!" He yelled. And a spark of light protruded from his finger soaring straight at Fred. It hit him square in the chest. He fell hard to the ground. He could not move or feel a thing.
Fred looked over his limp body at Josh. He was slowly aproaching with his finger out stretched. Fred looked at the guards that were with him. He motioned to them with his head to help. One of them started to walk away slowly, while the others came to help. Josh turned towards them punching at the air. A strong wave of toxic gas hit them over. While they were trying to get back up, they were passing out and dying. Josh knelt down at Fred's feet. "Oh, sorry. What shall I do with you now? I cant put you in front of the king, I have over thrown him already, and he is dead. The serfs are eating him right now." Josh took his long bony finger with a long chalk like nail on it, and slightly touched Fred's leg. It began to swell and rot. "After I kill you, I will work with your family next." He pierced his finger the rest of the way into his leg. The pain was so intense. He could hardly bear it.
Just then a figure from the dark tackled Josh. It was the guard that walked away earlier. He was a member of the Electrical and Computer Engineering group of the city. He was one of the ones in charge of updating the computers. He reached over to a bicycle. It had a computer screen on it. He touched the screen and entered a code. It began to get very Chile. The ground shook and cracked.
"What is this witchcaft?" Josh asked, "Are you from the nation of the twelve?"
"No, I'm from England."
A large crack broke under the two of them, causing them to fall deep in the earth. Soon after, Fred was able to move again. But, it was extreamly hard to walk on his left leg.
"What is happening to me?" asked Fred.
"I have started the end of this planet. You, the only true leader have been infected by me. No matter what happend to this body I am in, I will not die as long as you are a live!" said a voice inside Fred's head, it sounded like Josh. "As you know, the planet has already choosen you as its ruler, and since you are impure, it will start to die. This will be the end of the Great Government of Oswasso! And they shall have you, so I will not die. My body shall die, but I will return!"
All of a suden, the earth started to shake. One of the Gaurds said "Where is Fred?"
Another replied "There he is we must save him to save the planet!" As they picked up Fred, he squealed "Kill Me! Kill Me!"
"We can not, it is forbiden." said one guard, "We can not even let you kill yourself either. Sorry! If you hold on everything will be alright. Where is ECE?"
"I think he fell in the hole." replied the other Gaurd. The hole closed up just then, they all felt bad for ECE could climb out. The earth stopped shaking.
"Here we mourn ECE. He didn't come out of the hole in the earth in time to be saved," said Fred. All of a suden the city started to crumble. The Guards carried Fred to the nearest ship. They got in it to be protected. "The city is falling apart!" exclaimed a guard.
"It is not just the city, It is the entire planet," exclaimed Fred "Get this ship in the air! NOW!"
One of the guard took the pilot seat. The ship rosed into the air, but it zigged and zagged as it flew. They flew to the closets base ship. The ship docked with the base ship. The base ship general meet them in the docking station.
"Why did your ship zigg zagg all the way here?" asked the General.
"Well, I didn't know what i was doing!" exclaimed the guard who piloted the ship.
"What happened to Oswasso?" asked the General.
"It must have been a reble attack of some sort!" exclaimed the Guard.
"No, it was because of Josh. He infected me, and posioned the planet," explained Fred, "He also said that as long as I'm alive he will not die. We must search the Galaxcy and find him."
While Fred and his army search for Josh. Josh's spirit searched for a new body. He found one on the planet Francis. It was a boy named, Justin Brother. He was the only half-human on the entire planet. His father was a Logician, a race that has purged themselves of emotions, his mother was from the planet Vegitarian. The body was the best match Josh could find. Josh slowly lured the boy to give up his body. It took five weeks for the boy to fully give his body to Josh. When Josh took over the body, it changed and grew to an adult body.
The mother went over to talk to her son. She called for him saying, "Oh, Justin?"
His adult body came around the corner and yelled, "I'm not Justin. I am Josh, I married his sister long ago." Said Josh. The boy was still fighting to be in his body.
Justin yelled, "I talk to dogs, I am their messenger." He did this in his younger voice. His mother got really excited in hearing her boy again. Josh did not want her to be in the way, so he killed his mother.
Justin was shocked to hear the cries of his dying mother. He wanted revenge. He would wait for the perfect moments to speak through the new Josh. Josh was going through a big city, Anchorage, to find a new ship to get off this planet. He didnt even know where he was. "Excuse me, sir," He spoke, "I am looking for a space vehicle. Do you have any that get above 14 light years per hour?"
"Oh, yes we do. If you follow me over here I will show you." The man said.
"I hate dogs," Yelled Justin. The salesman looked at Josh with much confusion. He pretended that he didnt hear anything. They aproached the vehicle when Justin yelled again, "I am ruler of the planet. Give me money or this for free."
"Sir, what is wrong with you?" The man shouted.
"Sorry," Josh said. "It is a complicated story."
"How do you like the name, General Josh?" Justin anounced.
"Sir!" Said the man.
"Sorry, but--" Josh started.
"Can I inspect your pubic hair?" Justin yelled again.
The salesman was very mad at this point. He took Josh to the local police to have a ten minute trial.
"Your, Justin Brother, have been accused of freaking out the most presious people in our comunity, the Salesperson. What is your plea?" said a the Judge.
"I am a spirit which have taken over a boys body!" exclaimed Justin.
"That was uncalled for son!" said the Judge.
"Yes, I am out of order!" exclaimed Justin.
"Sorry, about that, I have seemed to have lost control of myself recently." lied Josh.
"Sue me now!" yelled Justin.
"I have to get out of this body!" exclaimed Josh. The Judge looked at Josh/Justin in amazement. Then Josh and Justin were fighting each other verbaly.
"You will be inprsioned for the rest of your life, for freaking out a salesperson, and me! That is your punishment!" yelled the Judge over the racket being made by Josh/Justin. The Gaurds came forward to take Josh/Justin into custidy. Josh expelled Justin's spirit into the one of the guards and killed him. Then he infected the Judge and guard. They became his minions. As he and his new minions exited the court house, Josh exclaimed, "Good bye citizens! Hello Minions!" It took twenty-four hours for josh to take over the entire planet. Just before the last citizen was infected, he injured Josh. Josh had lost his ability to create more minions, but his minions still had that ability. Josh created a plan to take over the galaxcy. He would send his minions to every planets so they could spred the infection. His first target, his first bodies birth place, Vegitarian.
Mean while, half way across the galaxcy Fred, was searching for Josh, and trying to figure out how to uninfect himself of Josh's virus. The virus was not spreading, but it made it impossible to completely distroy Josh. "Have we found any signs of him yet?"
"No sir! We have only looked at half the Galaxcy!" replied a solider siting behind a console.
"What is your name, solider?" asked Fred.
"My name is, Vicroy Gunray." Said the guard. "Do you think it is worth trying to save Josh?"
"Not anymore. There is no way I can save him with this leg this way."
"We need to do a tissue sample, to find out what it really is." Said Vicroy. He took out a small sharp hand shovel to scrape off a portion of flesh. He punched in a code into a computer screen. He attached a small hand held scanner to the computer. While he was scanning the flesh sample a homeless man on the ship walked over.
"Its the toad," said the man. "Kill the toad. Kill him."
"What are you talking about sir," Vicroy said to the man.
"That is the Toad that stuff is. Properly named Vespintime, you can tell by the depression in the skin. This is not a regular infection," The man said. He walked over closer to look at Fred's leg closer. He touched it and touged at it. "Yes, I know this." Fred started to scream as he pulled and poked. "This was given him by his mother. The Gift of Dead Puppy." He looked at the guard, "Go, leave, save yourself." The man and the guard got up and started to leave.
"Wait," yelled Fred, "Save yourselves, What about me?"
The man turned around and said, "Your leg is infected by something that only he who infected you can fix. Go to him you must, if you want to live that is."
"If I want to live you say?" Fred said, "But it doesnt spread."
"Not yet. The poison multiplies itself before it takes the body. When it spreads, there is no hope." He turned and left.
Fred started to stand up from his seat. When he first got on the ship, he tried never to walk. He started to walk a little. It felt like his leg bone was crumbling and falling apart. He grabbed hold to the nearest door frame. There was a lazer rifle leaning against the wall. He picked it up and used it for suport. He was able to move around better. It was hard to balance on the gun with only one good leg. He aproached a room with a door open. They were listening to a radio show. It was talking about the recent pandemic at hand. The infection was spreading from one planet to the next. The infection might be able to be destroyed if the holder, Josh, is found and killed. Fred felt terrible, christmas was coming and the galaxy was falling apart.
"Anoying callers!" a man said, bursting out of a door.
"What is it," Fred asked.
"I thought we made peace throughout the galaxy. And I just got a sales call."
"Yea, I thought peace had been brought too." Fred looked down at his leg. The darkness that was in his leg was leaving. "Oh, its leaving," The man started to walk over, very curious. Fred pulled his shirt up to reveal his chest. It was leaving, but leaving to the rest of his body. There was no hope. He had to find Josh now, or die.
"Well, the scan to find Josh won't finish for several hours. Lets watch Star Wars. I love that movie!" exclaimed Vicroy as he pressed a button on a console.
"That is a good idea. I like the one episode that Padma says 'Hold me, like you did at the lake on Naboo, when there wasn't all this war and hate.' If I die, I want to see that movie one more time," said Fred.
They spent the next three hours watching Star Wars. Mean while, Josh had commanded his minion to bring his family to him, without infecting them.
"What is happening? Where are you taking us?" asked Mark Todd, as Josh's minions escorted all of Josh's family, except for his sister who had been killed by the minion's ship landing on her.
As Josh's mother entered his thrown room she Exclaimed "Josh, where did we go wrong! Something must be done about my boy's disease!" when she saw her youngest son, in his disfigured form.
"No, mother there is nothing wrong with me. I am becoming what I was destined to be, The Ruler of the Galaxcy!" exclaimed Josh "I have brought you here to join me in my conquest of the Galaxcy. Together we shall rule, and there shall be PEACE!"
Josh's brother, Justin said "What can I do to help you, Brother? I have always wanted to have power."
"I have a task for you then, Go and Bring me Fred, alive! And you shall recieve his powers. Take these minions," said Josh as seven of his minions walked forward and knelt before Justin, "They will serve thee, and shall spread the infection to those you come in contact with. Allowing you to create an army of minions! Now GO!"
"Yes, brother I shall." replied Justin. He about faced, and told his minions to follow. They went off towards the landing strip. Josh, turned to his parents, and looked lovingly in their eyes.
"Join, me mom and dad. I will never let anything bad happen to you." lovingly said Josh, even though there was still a little evil glint in his eyes.
"You are not our son!" exclaimed Mark. At this Josh's face turned from loving to threatening.
"Do you feel the same way, Mother?" yelled Josh, in a rage. Allision was terrofided.
"No. You are still my son," quietly, and timidly answered Allision, "Please don't hurt Mark. I couldn't live with out him!"
"I will spare him, but he must watch his tounge infront of me!" exclaimed Josh.
Back on Fred's ship, they were just finishing watching Star Wars, when there was gun shots and burst of flames showing on the monitor that looked at the main engine.
"What is going on!" exclaimed Fred. All of a suden, Justin and his minions bursted through the door.
"Come with us, Fred! Or we shall infect everyone here!" demanded Justin.
"I will go with you, but leave these people alone," said Fred in a come voice.
Two of the minions picked up fred, and carried him back to their ship. Justin and the rest of the minions boarded the ship, and returned to Josh. As they returned, the infection was passing from Fred's leg to his arms. His face was going pale. He was loosing strength to endure. His head fell as he passed out.
"Ah, hello Fred, my little decaying friend." Josh said. "I see that you are almost one of us now. Now, open your eyes."
Fred had no choice but to open his eyes. Josh had power over any body that was infected. Fred looked around at the once white walls, now covered in slim and scum. The fridge was the only clean thing. The guards brought him into the kitchen and layed his limp body on the counter. A dark object made a shadow on Fred's body, this shadow was darker than most. "Fred, Fred, my little friend. how are you doing. How do you feel?"
"I feel . . ." Fred tried to speak, "Uh . . . ow, oh . . . whats happening . . . my eyes . . . my vision." Fred started to see everything turn black and white, then turned a dark blue, and all colors became inverted. "My . . . why do I see . . . Aaaaaaaaa!" He screamed, looking at his leg. A dark blue check started piercing and dying his skin. The end of the check wrapped around his leg and up his back, and into his hair. His hair started growing gray and long, until it fell out. When the hair was gone you could see the rest of the stained line from the back of his head to the middle of his brow. Two holes broke out of his cheaks, making him breath and talk through them.
"My friend, you are almost complete. You can see now who you must become. You will have to join me now." Josh said.
Maggets started to grow in Fred's stomac, where they then came out of his cheaks and his mouth. They began to cover his skin and eat at his clothing until it was gone. He looked at his arms that were eaten away to the bone. "You shouldnt have done this. Why?"
"Because I love you. Becoming like me is the only way for us to be together."
"I meant, why did you leave me, and the rest of us?"
"I left you? You left me. You knew my plan from the start, and left me on my path."
"I was on your path, and you changed it. Why cant you see what you have becom--Aaaaah!" He yelled. His calfs were melting at his feet.
Josh looked around and picked up Fred, "I must complete the transformation. He put Fred in the microwave and set it for 5 minutes of printer heat. For five minutes he watched Fred burn and melt suffering past comprehension. The timer went off and he was complete. Josh opened the microwave and picked Fred up. He was very hot, so Josh dropped him on the floor. He looked around for a heat resistant glove and picked him back up. Fred was unconsious.
The door broke down and then entered Fred's guards and the homeless man. "Put him down, you cook of evil!"
"Ah, Gregory. It is good to see you again. Didnt you beg at the corner of 21st street?"
"I worked my way up in society just like everyone else. Now give us Fred back."
"Sorry," Josh said, "but even if I did, it is too late. The transformation is complete."
"It does not matter what has changed Fred physically. Nothing will change the destiny of an Arignot!"
"What!" Josh yelled. "I was unaware of this."
"He was told this when you made your change. You were his assignment. Bringing you back would complete his lifes journey. And you ruined it!"
Josh was astonished. He dropped Fred once again, and he fell to his knees. "What have I done." Ever since Josh was a boy, he wanted to become an Arignot. He had read the stories of the great Cam, the Arignot. Now, all he wanted to be was the ruler of the universe. Freds life was thin, and Josh knew it.
"Must give him a new form! By my power, and strenght I will take him to the planet where I became what I am. I will help Fred with the fulfillment of his assingment in life." exclaimed Josh in a sorryful tone. He looked at Freds body, and knew that there was only one way to save Fred and the Galaxcy. Josh picked him up and carried him to the transport that Justin had used. He traveled for twelve hours and traveled to the planet X in the mysterious void.
"Fred, can you hear me?" asked Josh. Fred did not answer, but was still breathing.
"Your life will end here soon," Josh said to fred as he walked towards a cave. In the cave there was a male human body.
"This is a great Vista, this spirit did not need a body, so it left it here. This is your new body. I command you, the body of Fred, let Fred's spirit pass into this body." At this statement Fred's spirit was transfered to the human body.
"Fred, how do you feel?" asked Josh. Fred's new body opened his eyes, looked at Josh.
"I'm fine, but what is happening to you!" exclaimed Fred. Josh's body was melting and evaporating.
"I have to die,...it is the only way...to save...the...universe. As long as I exist...all diseases will become plauges unto all,...and there...would be another...like me...to distroy...the galaxcy...as we know it. Always...remember...me." explained Josh, in his last dieing breath. His life was ended.
The mystical Sir Joshua, appeared. "You both will be rewarded for you trials. You, Fred, are from now on be an Arignot. And Josh Shall join us, the Wurms!"
A light eminated from Sir Joshua, it touched fred, and he felt his body change into it's Arignot form. He looked at Josh's body, it was gone, and he heared Josh's voice in his head saying "Thank you, my friend. I will always remember you, keep on the right path and we shall see each other again."
THE END
