My Entry!

 

The Mastermind

I was broke. I had not eaten for the past two days. I wandered here and there searching for food on this accursed island. I had been searching for food for hours now.

Alas! All was lost

(Time-Travel) Two Weeks Ago…

I was busy finishing some office work when I got a call. It was from an unknown number. The guy at the other end spoke in a muffled voice. He told me that he had kidnapped my only daughter Lucie and ordered me to pay a ransom of 100000$.

I panicked. I was at loss as to how I should proceed. Should I inform the police? I wouldn’t think that would be such a good idea lest they harm my daughter.

With tears rolling down my eyes I told my wife of the ill-fated kidnap of our daughter. She remained calm. I was shocked and felt something wasn’t right. I kept quiet. The next day, at office, I was busy preparing the ransom when the bell rung.

I hastened to receive it. To my astonishment there was no one outside. As I turned to close the door, thinking how people could annoy a person as me who was in entire grief, when my eyes fell upon a note lying down. It read:

“If you want to see your daughter alive, arrive at 9o’clock at ‘The Town Square’ along with the ransom amount. And if you dare to inform the police, you will receive your daughter’s dead body.”

I was dumb-founded. ‘Town Square’ huh! That was surely one of the most densely populated areas in the whole of San Francisco. I phoned my wife to tell her of the note. The phone rung for quite a long time. I got worried. She had never done that before.

I became worried. As I was about to hang up, someone picked up the phone. I spoke. No one replied. I could hear muffled noises. Then a voice replied saying that my wife and daughter were held captive by the kidnappers. They demanded another 100000$ for the release of my wife. He also added that I reach the Docks at dawn after two days.

With a heavy heart, I arranged the ransom amount and rented a taxi for the Docks. I arrived 10 minutes before the appointed time. The Dock was deserted. As I waited the events that had occurred crossed my mind.

I began thinking of the voice. The Voice! I was sure I had heard it somewhere. Ah Yes! It was my old rival whom I had thought to be dead long ago in a car crash. Just as this dawned upon me, I was hit heavily on the head.

They tied me up and boarded the Beagle that was waiting for us. We sailed at sea. Night came upon us. Suddenly a storm started brewing up. All of us were thrown abroad. I grabbed hold of a log. I was tired and dozed off. I landed upon an island.

(Present)

I chewed on some plants and settled for the night thinking of ways to escape and save my family.

The Outlaw

 

By archer177

 

Copyright 1933

 

 

  He had come with nothing but a will to live and to bring revenge upon his enemies. He went by the name of Will Lonigan none knew his age. He was a slender 5' 9” boy with blazing red hair and a muscular figure. He came wanting work and was hard finding it, very hard. Finally, he found work at a small boatyard. The owner looked him up and down, nodded, and sent him to work. He formed boards, straitened bent nails, and all the odd jobs. The jobs that had no dignity.

 

  But then he started wondering. And it started while he was doing the dreary some job of mopping up all the mud tracked into the sheds. He had finished all of the sheds but one, the largest one that was half under ground. He had noticed a lot of activity there lately, and had been observant enough that he had noticed only three men ever entered that building. He cautiously approached the building, being earlier warned by a workman that it was not healthy to get to close to that building without authorization. Getting nearer he heard angry voices, and distinguished on of them as the owner of the yard, and the other as the foreman. Pretty soon the foreman came storming out yelling over his shoulder “I'll get you for this, oh yes I will!!! I report you to the IPS. They will destroy it!! Yes they will destroy it all!!!! And I will see to it!!! And with that he stormed away.

 

  “What was that all about?” ,asked Will. The owner let out a deep sigh and replied “ Well, you may as well know now. Won't hurt anything now. He said he would report us, and I know he will!!” he sighed and walked down into the shed. Will followed him at a safe distance, and then saw what was in the shed.

It all came back to him then, The memory that had deserted him for how long? Yes, it had been three years now. And suddenly he could remember everything clear as the day was long...

 

 

To be continued!!!!

             DIARY OF              A SUCCESSFUL KID 

 

​My dad WAS a geologist . . he gets transfered from one place to another  so often i feel like  my house is in a luggage bag. I was NOT A social moving kid. thats not my fault. my dad never with with me always busy with his work. I had no friends because i don't want to have any. i don't want to get attached to any one because anyway i'm going to leave them after my dad's next transfer. wait did i say i had no friends? no i had one . thats my best buddy 'max' yeah yeah he is my pet dog but i really like hanging with him . i'm pretty good in school and i like to read ghost books like 'goosebumps' . i love my mom a lot . she is very encouraging. i was very happy when dad told us that he has a  project here and he will be working here for at least 2 years. So finally i felt better than ever.  

 

         My school was a 20 minutes walk from our house. I want to drive to school on my bike but mom always says ' PERSONAL FITNESS' is very important. Yeah u guessed it right My mom is a 'FITNESS FREAK'  I always wanted to make to school on time but i'm always late. Do think its my fault?  if my mom allowed me to use my bike i was never going to be late.

 

      My friends always talk about boxing,wrestling but i'm a kind of peace guy and i hate talking about that stuff which makes me more non-social. I always get bullied by my seniors. last month i was forced to trade my 100 dollar watch for some fancy water bottle ! 

 

             I like sports mainly ' volley ball' but back in my school only girls play volley ball. Who said volley ball was a girls game? school rules?!! i don't think so. and most off my friends are into ' Basket Ball ' so i'm forced to play that game . i admit it that i hardly knew any rules' anyway i could never make it into the  school's ' BASKET BALL' team because i'm short. (the reason i hate my school)

 

          I love junk food , who doesn't?? but i felt shattered when my school replaced all the canteen food with 'healthier stuff ' , Today dad was mad at me because i hid my test paper in which I scored 50/90 in math , yeah this is the first time or i'm a nerd in math.

 

        

          I love this girl 'Bella' in school. i'm not that guy who like people by looking at your beauty or face color. i like her by heart. But i was depressed when i got to know my best friend in school 'Shawn' likes her too. so, we decided to have a Tanki  1 vs 1 Xp battle to prove who is better. Though i have a rail+hornet m2 i don't think i can beat him so i used all my crystals on upgrading my rail.

yeah yeah i know xp should not have any upgrades anyway i cheated . I finally beat him 

 

 

        After knowing that 'Bella' already had a boy friend i felt sorry for myself. U know why? yeah u guessed it right. I wasted all my crystals on the MU. 

 

        After that incident of hiding papers my dad doesn't trust me anymore. he says he will not bother about me or care for me anymore. I cried to the core but then i realized what should i do is just prove my dad what i can do .

 

       TODAY, I'm a Pilot and my dad is no more but still he was a legend i miss him anyway  and I have a good living. my son is studying in Cambridge  University and my wife is working in Microsoft , well guess her name . She is 'Bella'.

Casualties of War

Part 1

 

“No, wait! I can save her! I promise!” Ivan turns away, expression hardened into a mask of hate. Despite my pleas, his footsteps fade unabating into the distance. Too late my desperate voice gropes through the heavy silence; too late I feel the pain throbbing in my neck, the darkness enveloping my mind…

 

I see a body lying facedown on a dirt floor. Suddenly, it turns over and grimaces...Sonya. Tears streaking her dust-covered face, she hisses, "You could have saved me. And Ivan." Her gaze focuses on another body lying near the door. I stare at her in horror. "NO! I did everything I could..."... My nightmare fades into nothingness as I find myself on a cot in what looks like a hospital. I’ve got to find Ivan before he does something stupid, I tell myself, or that dream will come to life. I immediately try to rise from the bed, but all I accomplish is futilely jerking my body, leather straps around my arms and legs impeding my efforts. Hearing my struggle, a wan-faced man in a white lab coat strides over to me. The sadistic glimmer in his expression makes me want to vomit. Despite my misgivings, I blurt out “I shouldn’t be here! Sonya has been captured by Stanislav's rebels and---” He cuts me off in a miserable attempt at a soothing voice, “You were suffering from intense hallucinations in Pachenko Square, and we were forced to, ah...tranquilize you. Now that you are in a proper treatment facility, we have prescribed Morinthol for your condition. I’ll be back in a moment with today’s dose.” Hallucinations? No, I had a nightmare, but I couldn't just imagine my best friend abandoning me, thinking I had betrayed his girl to the enemy. I couldn't imagine my government infiltrated by insurgents. That was real. I've been set up. If I'm right, Ivan, too, is in real danger. As the doctor leaves my view, I feel for anything, anything I can use as a weapon. Miraculously, I find the reassuring steel of my holdout knife still strapped to my belt underneath the sheets. Contorting my arm to where I can just grasp the handle, I cut through the bond around my right arm. Too soon, the doctor’s footsteps echo through the door on the left. I desperately slice through the rest of my leather prison as the doctor appears in the doorway. His sneer undergoes a rapid transformation into sheer terror. Rising from the bed, I grab his throat and prepare to kill him. The doctor gets a sentence out-"I didn't do anything! Why kill me?" His pleading in vain, I mutter "casualties of war," driving the blade home. I turn to the window and the setting sun. Staring into the glowing orb, I wonder: how can I save Sonya? No matter how difficult, for Ivan, I must save her. Stalking out the door, I know that no one can stop me. I have a promise to keep.
