《Movie Central》The End of the Beginning: Pop-Corn & Movies
Advertisement
"As you wish for Exploding Corn to better enjoy your movie it shall be so!" thundered Bob, and with a click of his fingers summoned 5 cobs of corn with bomb timers strapped to them and flicked them towards Xavier.
"THANKYOU," replied Xavier, "I always try to get these back home, but they just give me some buttery snack and call the cops when I explain what I want. It's a real pain to getting my hands on some of these so I haven't had any in ages, so thanks Bob. But I can't carry these around in public, I did that once and had to spend a whole week throwing off the cops, good thing I found that turban and robe so the cops wouldn't bomb check me, I mean they tried but I just made up words and called them racist 'til they left. They never caught the Corny Terror but the name sends me into laughter anytime I see it."
"BOB LIKES YOUR STORY. BOB WILL PROVIDE BACKPACK FOR STORAGE! BOB RECOMMENDS CAPTAIN AWESOMESAUCE FOR VIEWING IN CINEMA 1345762891-A! THERE IS 5 MINUTES UNTIL STARTING TIME SO BOB WISHES YOU LUCK!" and with that, Bob clicked his fingers to create a rather stylish black leather knapsack which sucked all of the Exploding Corn into itself before swinging itself onto Xavier's back just in time before Xavier was sucked into a previously non-existent wormhole or portal taking him to places unknown.
The last words of Xavier before he vanished into the portal were, "See ya Bob," quickly followed by, "Hey, I never got my socks!!!" before the portal pulled him in and closed, only to quickly re-open to receive a pair of jade-green socks with Cheshire smiles all over them from Bob, who, along with the portal disappeared in another flash of bright light.

"I'd better rush, I only have roughly 3.72534 minutes left until my movie starts," were the first words out of Xavier's mouth upon exiting the portal into a comfy seat inside of what was known as Cinema 1345762891-A.
"Alright," recited Xavier to himself as usual, "I've already 'popped' one of the corns, I don't have a phone to mute and there are no ratings so I am set to watch this movie! Shame that I've got no-one to watch it with though."
SCBLAMMO!
"Bob?" questioned Xavier, "No this is different, I think?"
"Hey, Xavier!" yelled Sci-fi Trooper-1, "Long time, no see! You seem well!"
"Oh, it's YOU, Luca! That's a relief, for a moment there I thought you were part of the government here to capture me for experimentation!" exclaimed a semi-relieved Xavier, "But what's with the new get-up, you never seemed the type to join the army sci-fi or otherwise?"
"Well it wasn't really my choice see, this Uncle-Sam lookalike 'conscripted' me and these army dudes were waiting for me when I got here. They 'recruited' me at gunpoint and then led me on a wild-goose chase looking for you. They even got me in this S.P.A.R.M.A. which can be voice-controlled by any superior officer in this army and tracks my location in or outside of movies to prevent my no doubt debonair and devious escape, the only part that even really comes off is this helmet, while the rest folds into this watch-type thing when you want to show off your army swag or for when you have vacation time, but it's apparently indestructible and doesn't come off." replied a dispirited but enlivened Luca.
"Man, that must suck, I really feel for you. So, what's the escape plan Luca?" replied Xavier.

"There is no escape plan this time Xavier, I've got to 'recruit' you too, this is apparently the fate of all conscriptees and they've got a lock on your general location right now. They're coming Xavier, and I can't help you this time. Sorry man, the game's up." followed on the bummed-out Luca.
"You may not be able to help me but I can help you Luca, banking on one condition," replied Xavier looking thoughtful.
"And what's that?" questioned Luca.
"Simple," answered Xavier, "The condition is that you weren't being metaphorical when you were talking about going into these movies, that and that you're willing to be my partner in crime once more. Are you in?"
"Of course," answered a Luca a smile creeping on to his face, "Have I ever been one to shy away for adventure? Well? Hmm?"
"Excellent, I knew I could count on you buddy, now throw that helmet into the screen and dive in right on after," yelled Xavier, not willing to waste more time when adventure called.
"Right after you buddy," replied Luca.
"Say it together now," said Xavier as they ran towards the screen.
As they entered they followed his sage advice.
"GERONIMO!!!!"

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Heart of Cultivation
Book one is now available for purchase or download through Kindle Unlimited! Jian was a prodigy, at least until he discovered that his path of cultivation had hit a dead end almost as soon as it began. That was all years ago, though. He has long since resigned himself to his fate and prepared himself for a dull, ordinary, but happy life. Stunted cultivation or no, he's clever enough to carve out his own comfortable niche. Unfortunately, not all of the matters from his past have been settled. When a reckless mistake threatens to cost him everything, Jian will have to prove that he's desperate enough to rise to the occasion. Or that he's capable of avoiding the consequences. This is an affectionate reconstruction of the xianxia genre. I will be deploying the tropes from the genre that I enjoy in a framework that I think makes sense. The story updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes other days.
