SSStrange CCclouds story: I’ve written
the first part of this miniseries off the top of my head, I only know 2 things
right now, that Steve is a mild mannered guy, essentially it’s Steve Carrel.
The second is that it’s set in a fantasy desert world. I want to acknowledge that this is
the first time I've shown any of my work where I have actually tried. The others were either warms ups, when I was younger or when I was practically sleeping. So Here I present to you, Part one of an unnumbered-amount-of-part... SERIES! Part one of a new short story series posted directly to King and the long ride home! Enjoy!
SSStrange CCclouds: An
internet miniseries: part 1 – Lucky Star
By King
Steve Arthur-Wolfgang Lipchitz was surrounded by bright
starlight across the windy sands of the desert. He fumbled his muscles; it felt
like an elephant had been sitting on him. Minutes passed before he was able to
even sit up. Obviously, his first question was, “Where am I?”, but his mind
answered him with another question, “Where were you before?”
Stars covered the
desert, but not the kind of stars who or I would know, these shined huge thick
white outlines of simple five pointed stars that gently moved around.
Steve would have originally expected to be confused or
scared or want to scream with stress. Yet, he didn’t, instead he began to smile.
Meet Steve. Steve was always very mild, as mild as mud
for that fact. A brick would have more personality than him. He came from a
middle class family; his mother was a banker, his father, an accountant. He had
an older brother that helped him with his problems socially and academically,
he then left the country to study abroad. Steve never had a girlfriend, he was
way too shy, he had friends, and he hanged out with people, girls too, just
never got too friendly with them. He worked at a Mcburger fast food restaurant
from when he was 14 until he graduated high school. He never got into fights.
His grades were usually straight B’s, he never was too smart or too dumb, and
he went to a business school and got a master’s degree in business years later.
He was straight, agnostic, friendly and just a downright loser. He always
seemed cheerful, liked to laugh and always considerate, putting himself before
others, yet in truth he hated his life, deep down in his heart he despised
everyone. He knew he was a pushover, he knew he just plain sucked. His life was
uninteresting and he knew it, he dreamt of one day leaving the world of a boat
and travelling out into the unknown. Then it had hit him, he realised the
strange desert he has woken up in was his boat. And he is travelled in a sea of
lucky stars.
Steve got up to his black loafers, brushed away the sand
from his plain grey work suit, unloosened his back tie and simply began walking
forwards towards the bright blue moon. Sure he was confused but right now, all he
could do was deal with it. All that he could do now was walk into the unknown…
