The Pliigi Commander

“Next” Rasped the curious creature who was sitting on the chair. “What is your name?” “Norman sir” The little creature replied in a sad voice. The commander kicked him. “Stand up straight and don’t give me the puppy eyes!” Thud, another kick. Small alien like creatures were being unloaded from a metal spaceship which was about as aesthetically pleasing as a stainless steel work surface. The creatures were being dragged by tall aliens. They had tall backs which curved at around their neck. Spines protruded left right and centre from all parts of their backs. It was clear you didn’t want to mess with these guys..

“Why do you think you should join the might of my army?” His voice boomed around the dark room and broke the sound of metal chains. “I think I’m a good team player and have great skills that you need.” The commander slapped him, “You think I need you? You think I don’t have your skills? I DON’T NEED YOU!” He was screaming at the poor creature. Norman looked at him and his eyes started to water with a few drips hit the cold floor. “Ahhhh, take him away, throw him with the other Mechs.” “Yes sir.” It was a monotone response from both of the Pliigi. “Garhhh, Why do I need these Mech?!” He shouted at one of the Pliigi sergeants

. “Sir, You remember the plan? We are trying to get their trust then steal their technology. That's not going to happen with you shouting at them..”  Another slapping sound echoed through the metal hall. “I DON’T NEED PEOPLE TELLING ME THAT I’M WRONG!" WE’LL JUST POINT A RAY GUN TO THEIR HEARD AND ASK FOR THE BLOODY TECHNOLOGY!” Again the hall went silent as the commander was shouting. “Just get me some water.” His voice was raspy and that came of no surprise to the Pliigi workers!

Meanwhile below deck a creature was throbbing, Throwing his tentacles around. “I’m sorry sir, The process won’t go any faster.” The little short Mech replied. The creature wasn’t taking any of that, It threw it’s tentacles around madly. Another Mech was brought down from the deck. “Sir we have another one for you, He passed the tests in flying colours.” “Excellent, I’m just trying to sort out something with the General so give us a minute.” The mech looked around but was suddenly jerked away and started being dragged again. After about 5 minutes of passing various machines they stopped at a pit. He looked down and saw a huge ball of lava. “I’m sorry, We don’t need you any more Gordon.”

If only the sun rose… (Part 1)

As promised in my last diary entry there would be a few stories to come! Here is the first of them. Take a guess at what you think It’s about, I don’t think you will predict correctly! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed writing and planning it. Well here it goes!

 

David was an average person. He was a year nine at school in the UK. David was a bad sleeper, He often dreamt illusions that would sometimes come true. It was raining outside. The rain pounded the dull glass of his room. David lived in an average house down an average street. It was night. From outside the house there was a faint light from his room. David was typing away frantically trying to finish coursework that was due in tomorrow. He decided to call it a night and glanced around to his alarm clock. It was set for 5:30AM. He clambered into his bed and settled in. The red L.E.D’s from the clock lit up the dull room. The rain continued to pound angrily at the window. David felt un-eased. He sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put is finger on it. He shrugged it off and started to doze off.

Outside people were gathering silently in cloaks. They looked around and then saw the final member strolling towards them. If you were there it would have certainly been eerie. They glanced cautiously around making sure nobody was awake or watching. The cloaks were pulled tightly over their faces, It was clear they didn’t want to be seen. One pulled out a sheaf of papers and handed them round. Nobody talked, Nobody moved. Their heads just stayed bowed as they glanced at the papers. One must have have thought how are they communicating? This street that was so full of life at day had a completely different side. Then out of nowhere, A flash. No noise just a bright light filled the street. Once the light had faded it was clear to see they had gone. Vanished.

David woke up. He felt slightly dazed and felt strange. He glanced around towards his alarm clock and pressed the button to light up the display. 3:21 AM. Then just as strange as the first flash, another. This time the cloaked figures were in his room, Not the street.

Upcoming Stories & Diary Entry

Dear readers, It's been a while since my last post, I do apologise. However I have been drowned in other stuff. Things like homework, MechScape World related stuff, School music bands & writing a few stories. Not a lot to update you on really, But just thought I'd let you know I am still alive. I've got my schools open evening coming up. This is an evening where prospective parents can come in and view the school. So me and my friend will be performing there so got some practice to do :) Since my last post I've been working on a few stories, Sadly none are yet at the finished stage. So the fans that love my work will have to wait a little longer. Here I will just say soon and generate some mystery. A bit like what Jagex do with MechScape. Anyway, as I said I'd also been doing MechScape World stuff. Just starting up the SOTW there and thinking through a few other ideas. If you are a reader that has not come from MSW then let me explain all about it.... http://wwww.mechscapeworld.com There's your explanation! It's a fan site for the upcoming game "MechScape" by Jagex who make Runescape, One of the largest MMO's on the planet. That's all from me. Check back soon for my stories and my diary accounts.

Gothic Story

So feeling a little bored, I decided to whip up a quick gothic/horror story. It is pretty short, and I`m not the best writer. Please comment and notify me of any typos.

 

The waves rolled in they crashed the stony beach of Stoeaway Cove. The wind howled around the girl as she stood there looking over the sea. It swirled, rippled and rose to cause foam leaping from the waves and being swept by the wind to the girls face. She looked at her watch, He was late. As usual. Beth didn't`t like the place. Like all places they had met it was eerie. The wind was howling and lighting illuminated the beach. There was another flash. She was looking down the beach. Beth thought she made out a figure, a cloaked one. This was the last place she wanted to be. Her clothes were soaked through, clinging to her like they were afraid of the night too! Then out of nowhere, the sound of a recording being turned on. There was crackles, Then Glen Miller came on with Moonlight Serenade. She whirled around. Beth made out a faint light about 500meters down the beach. It looked like a house. As soundly as the music started, a high pitch scream cut through the night. She made out the black hooded figure leaving the house. Beth feared the worse. She now had the urge to scream. However, She could sense somebody behind her. Beth heard the steps get closer and closer. She saw from the reflection in the water who was behind. Now she knew it was all over…

Anyways my day so far...

Well I woke up about 9:30, I had a little ceral and watched some TV till like 10AM.
Got dressed and played Monopoly with my brother. He has just got a new edition with some electronic banking. It`s sad to see the paper money go, But oh well!!

After that I did some skype calls to freinds and surfed the net visiting a few of my forums.
Headed out about 2PM after lunch to enjoy some of the English weather. Summer is almost gone, So gotta make the most of it! After some football there I came back. Watched some more TV. And after all these years of gathering dust, I fired up my old Max data laptop. It`s working great, except Max data has gone bust and there is no drivers or support lol.
The time is now 6PM and I`ve created my blog. I expect I`ll watch a movie tonight and maybe go on the computer for a little more tonight.

Got school on tuesday, Which is mixed feelings for me :P
Anyway, won`t make this post to long and I`ll try to remember to check up here tomorrow.

Nighty Night...
