《Insane》Chapter 33

"Alice! We have to go! Come on, the movie starts in ten minutes and we still have to buy the tickets!" I shut my book again. Dammit, the book was getting so suspenseful!
"Coming, mom!" I shouted, as I stumbled down the hallway.
"Are you drunk or something?" My mom asked me seriously.
I just laughed. "Yes, mom. I had two bottles of Vodka before coming here." She glared at me. I just pulled on my coat.
"So, let's go!" We were outside when I realized that I haven't been outside with my mom in ages. I think she was thinking something like that.
"It's so beautiful this year. I missed the snow." She said, looking around herself. It really is beautiful. "You know, I wanted to see Frozen a few weeks ago because of all the snow there!" She said, laughing a bit. My mother.
"Then why watch it now when you can basically sink into the snow here?" I asked, kneeling into the deep snow to prove my point.
She laughed again. "Well, I don't know, actually. It just seems like such a sweet movie, you know?" she looked at me.
"Nothing else? Just because it seems like 'a sweet movie'?" I asked.
"I'm definitely also watching because of Olaf!" She exclaimed like a little child.
".........Who's Olaf?" I asked my mother, confused.
"The sweet little snowman, of course!" She said, in an obvious tone of voice.
That, I think, is the only reason to actually watch the movie. He seemed pretty cute in the trailers. "There's the cinema!" She said, and quickened her pace.
"Mom, why're you going so fast?" I asked, as I caught up with her.

"It's freezing out here! Do you have some kind of cold protection on yourself or something?" She asked me. When we were in the movies it was two to five. I hurried to buy the tickets and there was actually no line. None. The ticket guy was actually looking at me like "dafuq man?" It might have been because of my face. I realized this and pulled a scarf over the scars. I bought the tickets for me and my mother and we went to watch the movie.
It was about thirty minutes into the movie and I really wanted popcorn, so I nudged my mom.
"What is it?" She whispered.
"I'm going to get some popcorn. I'll be right back!" I wasn't planning on hurrying up since I think I could predict the plot from now. It's like a game I like to play. I try to predict what happens next in the movie's plotline. I was outside when I noticed someone following me. I tried to ignore it, hoping the person was just going to the toilet. This was supposed to be a perfect afternoon, right? I bought two little boxes of popcorn and a coke for good measure, and started going back. The person was still following me. I turned around to see.........not David? It wasn't David. It was a guy who looked only a bit familiar. I thought he was the guy from the Snowball Festival when I noticed his eyes weren't that really light brown. More of a grey. "Why are you following me?" I asked, getting straight to it.
He looked closely at my face, then shook his head. "Sorry. I thought you were someone else. I really have bad eyesight, you know?" I studied him, then shrugged it off and went back to watch the movie. He didn't follow me.

Didn't you want to see who it was?
No. It was just a halfblind guy who reminded me of Snowball Guy because I am paranoid.
Are you sure you saw him? Maybe it was just your imagination, Alice.
It wasn't. He was right there.
That's what you thought when you heard David, didn't you? He had that black hair.......
Excuse me, voice, do you know how many people have black hair? Do you? I paused to think about what I was saying. I just had a mental argument with myself. I am really mental. I was trying to watch the movie but honestly somewhere around the middle I fell asleep.

The Last Human
I am the last human alive. My world is filled with magic and steam powered mecha. I have none of that. I am fragile in this world and if I wish to remain part of the races on this planet, I need to find a way to get back to earth and find a bride. The odds are stacked against me but the one thing I do have as a human is resiliance. I will find the portal that my parents travelled through and I will return to their home planet. That is my only goal. That is my only legacy and I must succeed. To anyone who finds this diary, please make it known that I did exist. If my race has died out, I was here. I was King. I am Adam Carter. I am the last Human.

2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."

A short story collection. In "Sunrise Over Avalon," a Great War veteran faces a moral dilemma, in an alternate world where a zombie apocalypse happened instead of the Spanish Flu. In "The Night Garden," a lonely young woman in a sleepy Southern town meets the man of her dreams... but her dreams are the problem. In "Ruthven's Guests," two of Gothic literature's founding monsters, conceived by their authors on the same night, meet face to face, and forever alter the fate of themelves and their world. In "Toadthrall," a toad wizard summons himself a human familiar, and they use the magic of evolution to defeat a monstrous foe.

8 142Fireflys
Just a romance about my lovelies, Sprig and Anne. ☺️A story where they find feelings for each other. And a change of look for the out-of-place human!🐸 (and yes he's like 10, but it's not like I'm making them do a lot of crap😂 I had my first crush when I was 9 lol)(SOME THINGS FOLLOW THE ACTUALLY SHOW! Not everything though. I don't own the show or the characters. Most of this comes from my own imagination, or I've changed to go for my story. You are not forced to read it, so please don't put any hate in the comments)(I'm also not the best at writing, so some of it might be bland😂 I try)(Also, Yes. I know it's 'Fireflies' but I'm not changing it now😂) (JUST SO YOU KNOW! I am NOT a great writer! I am not good at thinking over things completely! I'm still trying to improve, but I am not an expert, or anywhere close to being so! There are a lot of open ended things in my stories, but most of them I just use to move forward! Please don't look too closely at my flaws😂 if you do, then that's all you'll see😂😅)
