where my strange imagination roams free...

Four - Under A Blue Sun

, ,

A blue sun. Is that normal? It looks familiar somehow, which fails to reassure me. Of course, that could be because finally i can see myself. I amble over to a nearby muddy puddle and study the murky reflection.
Arms, legs, two of each. Only one head, though - seems a bit lacking. And what are those things sticking out of it? Horns? Antennae? Ears? They feel furry, whatever they are. Hell, all of me feels furry except the metal plates protecting my arms and legs, and a rather vicious-looking spiked ball attached to my tail. Strangely hard underneath the fur, though - definitely not flesh. Something tells me this isn't my original form.
I look warily at the bloody footprints leading to and from the cargo hold, back to the truck. It would be better not to hang around, but curiousity draws me back towards the truck. What was in there with me?
I clamber awkwardly back through the open top, and look around. Dozens of boxes like mine, all with a creature inside. Some are like me, others anything but. I count six...seven...eight different types. None of them move or give any indication of life. The boxes themselves are mostly featureless, apart from prison-style bars at the front, and some sort of code branded in one corner. No clues here. I turn to leave, and freeze a moment later. I've stayed too long.
Outside, something snarls.

a rather vicious-looking spiked ball attached to my tail.


Wow, that is so cool! I can't wait for "Five"! :left:

Spaggyj 24. June 2008, 08:10

MORE! :mad:

Furie 24. June 2008, 08:46

Hmmm, dead or in suspended animation. The guy couldn't move until recently so those creatures could still be alive...

rose-marie 24. June 2008, 10:30

That's... disturbing!

funz81 24. June 2008, 15:42

theoddbod 24. June 2008, 18:10

*hides from the hurled rotten vegetables*

Furie 24. June 2008, 19:29

theoddbod 24. June 2008, 20:34

Furie 24. June 2008, 21:22

funz81 25. June 2008, 16:28

My ammos are rotten vegetables? :left: I can't shoot them at Mart, he eats those :right:

Cois 25. June 2008, 18:04

He eats other things as well.. :insane: it reflects in his stories.. :ko:

theoddbod 25. June 2008, 21:12

It's not my fault your imagination adds its own disgusting interpretation to my stories p:

@Fanny : you told me they were fresh! :cry:

Cois 26. June 2008, 00:23

I don't need to use my imagination with your stories.. :cry: now put down that lawyer sandwich..:left:

angel292005 26. June 2008, 00:23

:wait:

:smile:

theoddbod 26. June 2008, 07:08

Lawyer sandwich? :eyes: That's a strange imagination you've got there, Cois - this is just ham :left:

funz81 26. June 2008, 13:14

I wonder... What else does Clint have in his imagination? *naughtymindmode=on* :devil:

Furie 26. June 2008, 13:29

Don't look there Fan. It is a dark and evil place, inhabited only by talking mushrooms. :insane:

funz81 26. June 2008, 13:36

You're not one of the mushrooms, right? P:

Furie 26. June 2008, 15:09

Well I am a fun guy. :D

funz81 26. June 2008, 16:58

You're a guy??? :insane:

P:

Cois 26. June 2008, 23:50

A hamster eating ham? Ha! Proof! :insane: my mind is a wonderful place full of fields of flowers and bunny rabbits.. :left:...... and bunny rabbits.. :insane:

rose-marie 27. June 2008, 07:17

And we all know what bunny rabbits do... And flowers too! :left:

Furie 27. June 2008, 09:14

Yeah, they get drawn into kid's cartoons. p:.

:sst: That is what you meant, yeah?

rose-marie 27. June 2008, 09:45

I er... meant...
Hey - remember the killer rabbit in the Holy Grail? And the vicious plants from Little Shop of Horrors?
That's what I meant :up: :left:

Cois 27. June 2008, 11:25

And we know what martinis do as well.. :whistle: don't give Rose no more alcohol! :cry: the horror!

rose-marie 27. June 2008, 12:06

:mad:

Furie 27. June 2008, 15:23

*destroys all the Martinis in the world again*
:coffee:

rose-marie 27. June 2008, 15:26

*tears Mik's other nipple*
:smile:

Furie 27. June 2008, 15:47

:cry:

ellena 27. June 2008, 18:03

oooh... cant wait for part five. but confused about one thing... blue sky, or blue sun?

theoddbod 27. June 2008, 22:25

*ignores the martini-swamped field full of horny rabbits, crushed flowers and ripped nipples* :yuck:

Er...I guess the title should probably say 'sun'. I don't know enough to know if a blue sun would have a blue sky, but I doubt it. My fault for finishing the story, then adding the title in a rush.

Cois 28. June 2008, 09:28

Don't think it'll be blue.. White light, prism effect, atmosphere and all that.. Would be interesting to find out though..

Furie 28. June 2008, 10:34

Blue sun would be a red sky.

Cois 28. June 2008, 11:11

I'm not taking that at face value! p:

theoddbod 28. June 2008, 11:20

I thought red, but I don't know why. I think the atmosphere's composition would make a big difference, though.

Would it be wrong of me to change the title? :left:

Furie 28. June 2008, 13:12

No. Just change sky to sun so it makes more sense.

Cois 28. June 2008, 13:37

Yep.. Anyway.. A blue sun would mean complete arid conditions eh? Like a flame that turns blue when its super hot. With gasses anyway..
Can anyone say nitpicking?

Cois 28. June 2008, 13:38

theoddbod 28. June 2008, 17:26

The title's changed now :D.

Little niggles like this are why I'm unlikely to write pure sci-fi.

Cois 28. June 2008, 17:45

:lol: I thought you said little niggers.. :rolleyes:

attilasoul 28. June 2008, 18:01

So did I!! :lol:

theoddbod 28. June 2008, 21:43

Well, that's going to generate some disturbing Hitslink results soon :eyes:

Cois 28. June 2008, 21:53

p: you know you like it..
