This is what happens when
the funny girl tries to write Apocalytic-Science Fiction-Horror... it
turns out, well just a little bit funny. Why is that? Well I just
don't know. There are fiction sites on the Internet that may be new
to some people. These are Wattpad.com and Fiction Arcade.com. I
have started placing short stories on both sites. You can register
to read stories on Wattpad for free, and for a small fee on Fiction
Arcade. For writers out there, you can also post stories for free on
Wattpad, and although they say its free at Fiction Arcade, it still
cost me $5 to create an account.
I thought I would do
something a bit different a story when I wrote : And They Came,
it's all about a city that runs out of water because of Alien Water
Vampires... (I know, ha ha). Of course all of you young folks, that
grew up and didn't listen to 80s music, and don't know who Devo is
will miss the joke, unless you look them up first :))
So here's an excerpt:
When the water first
started disappearing, people didn't think much about it. Thought it
all had to do with the Great Drought. We didn't know it was them.
They came from another world into ours.....
We were outside when my
friend Leila showed up. “Can I stay?” she asked in a thin voice.
I loved her like a sister. She was so beautiful. Leila had been an
SMU cheerleader back in the day...
“How are the nights out
here?” she asked.
“They have not come
yet,” I answered. But the other day, Cloud Walker had felt eyes
watching him in the woods, red, haunted, dried eyes.....
SARAASSH!
Something hit the window.
We jumped up.
The one that seems to be
the Leader, the one with razor eyes. His name is Devo,” said
Leila.
“Like the rock band?
How do you know they have names? They are creatures?”
Why had I let Leila go?
Why had she sacrificed herself?
I opened the door.
“I hear they call you
Devo. Well Whip It!” I said....
