Stories...

I have decided it has been far too long since I wrote a story, so I'm going to start one here on my blog. Every few blogs I am going to write a bit more of the story. It will be like some kind of serial or something. Feel free to post your comments on what YOU think should happen next :p (Note: I will usually go to great lengths to make something happen that no-one mentioned, so the more things you cancel out for me the more interesting things will get :p)

Ok, now I just need to think of a topic... ok, I will type RANDOM into google, click "I'm feeling lucky" then find word 9 on line 20 on that page (the time is currently 9.20) and the topic will have something to do with that.

Ok, the word is NEED. This should be interesting.

Alrighty, this will be the story of Jed Bellfinger, a clever but highly eccentric guy who's somehow ended up working for a crazy scientist on some secret government project in Beijing. He speaks no chinese. He needs to learn chinese, retrieve an object from a sacred buddhist temple, and pay $3000 worth of parking fines soon or he will be excommunicated from the country. He has also lost his passport.

THE LEGEND OF JED, MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE

"JED! Get your skinny butt up here!". Gonz Haizelburn, Russian scientist extraoridinaire, screamed down to Jed from a high platform of the abandoned nuclear missile silo. Jed looked up at Gonz, 30 stories above him. 30 stories, and only a ladder to climb it. *sigh*.
"Alright Gonz! Keep your toes on! I'm coming already!"
Jed Bellfinger didn't know why he kept working for this crazy basterd. It was probably because he would be kicked out of the country if he didn't, or thrown into jail for hundreds of unpaid parking tickets. Working for the government had its perks, and parking in Beijing was a bitch.
At least he didn't have to shovel gallons of cow manure from one pile to another, and sometimes back again. Jed shuddered as he remembered a previous job.
Jed began climbing...

Back at his dingy apartment in the city central, Jed was quite suprised to find his door already open. He pulled a knife of his boot (You never know when some crazy basterd will try and steal your shoes). As Jed slowly opened his door, he though "If my Rocky boots are gone there will be hell to pay"...
Suddenly, a great, green, scaly monster leaped out at him! "ARRG!!" Jed screamed and flailed wildly with his knife, managing to plung it into the creatures left thigh. There was a muffled, yet distinct human scream as the knife sank in.
"M^#&H $%@&@!!! You son of bitch! You stab me with butter knife! I kill you!" The cleaner for the building pulled off the head of the costume and clutched at the knife.
"Oh, sorry about that Cheng. I thought you were a monster." Jed casually pushed the button on a nearby intercom and requested that someone take Cheng to the hospital. "Don't worry Cheng, that'll come out good as new. Why are you wearing that anyway?"
Cheng looked furious "It is year of Dragon you idiot! Tonight is great festival! All staff in building wear costumes." Cheng seemed to think about it for a second, "actually, maybe is kinda stupid. Why they make us wear costumes while cleaning? It make no sense! OW" He clutched his leg again as he shifted weight to it.
Jed slipped into his room and locked the door while Cheng trailed off about the insanity of it all.

STAY TUNED!!!
