This blog isn't about being read its about being written.

I love that line from Sydney White. But in this case it is true. I sometimes come up with just short little ideas that I need off my mind so I wanted a place to write them. Sometimes I need a place to get my creative hat on and I find that anything fiction will spur other fiction. My writing is often the result of some random daydream from my childhood slash what should be adulthood. I may not act like an adult but I weigh as much as one or maybe even two small ones. I guess they would have to be anorexic but yes two small adults could be about my same weight.

My brother in law who is also part of my writing group gave a suggestion in one of his blog post to write even if you have nothing to write about. I did that once and it turned out to be a pretty long blog post about my wife. I figured this pile of random ideas is a good place for that kind of exercise.

My father in law always jokes about me being able to make up a story as I go so I thought I would give it a whirl. The last story was just about that very thing but I had the idea before hand. This time I am completely blank and it is 8:56 am. I will attempt to write something interesting with no before hand idea and no editing and post my finish time.

Here goes.

A young boy stood in the muddy streets of his village, about two thousand people lived in this village that amounted to no more than a bathroom stop on the way to a remote military outpost in the jungles of Kongo. Since there were no public restrooms there was no real reason to stop at all. And most of the trucks didn't. The young boy was looking for something to eat, anything really would be fine. Some of the other children were kicking a flat soccer ball and he decided that was a fine distraction from a hungry belly. He ran to meet them with a broad smile, his white teeth were a bright break in his otherwise black face.

The children heard the trucks coming and quickly vacated the street. Five large military trucks zoomed by not even slowing for large mud puddles they bumped and bounced down the road and out of the village. It was the most exciting thing to happen all day, but the game was back on in the streets just a short moment after it paused. None of the children knew what was on the trucks nor did they care but if they had known what was on those trucks perhaps sleep would not come so easily at the end of a long day.

Once inside a large concrete underground building men in uniforms quickly surrounded the trucks, loaded and ready they held their assault riffles aimed at the trucks. Then they exited, one from each truck twice as tall as an average man built like Gorillas with skin the color of blood the giants that had been captured near a cave opening.

They appeared to be human but the red skin and enormous stature was very un-human like. A small village further up the mountain had reported seeing large fast moving animals in the forest and missing farm animals. The military had at first refused to investigate but when the village picked up and moved in fear they decided to look into it. What they found and captured no one had seen before. Heavy dosses of tranquilizer had been used to bring the giants down. The drugs would be wearing off soon.

Groggy the red giants emerged from the large covered trucks, their hands bound tightly behind their backs. Blindfolds over their eyes and thick chains held their feet to minimize movement to only a short shuffle, it made walking awkward. The trucks shifted as their massive load tumbled out.

I needed to say good morning to my wife and use the facilities and grab a bowl of cocoa puffs. I did not think about the story and anything that popped into my head I pushed out and refused to use.

Dr. Allister was a genius of sorts and had an education that proved it. A list of doctorates longer than both of his arms he had been in school most of his life either teaching or learning but now was under contract with the government on a top secret assignment, he had been pulled off his current work to lend his expertise. He was stunned at what he saw. Reluctant to approach the giants now sitting on the cold concrete floor, he only took a couple steps closer to get a better look. They breathed heavy as though they were labored from the exit of the trucks, Their binding were too tight he determined, they were in pain.

"Loose them a bit, you are hurting them to keep them bound so tightly." Several armed soldiers looked at each other then lowered their weapons and proceeded to add more bindings to the arms and legs slightly looser than the original ones before removing them.

this is a little awkward but I cant't go back and edit. so on we go.

Once the bindings were less painful the giants breathing became normal. "Remove the blindfolds." Dr. Allister ordered. The men removed the blindfolds. What they saw was eery to the bone. Chills ran up and down Allisters spine as he looked into their eyes. Intelligence for sure but of what nature? survival? domination? They had some type of wrap around the waist but that was it for clothing but it certainly set them apart from animals. So where did they come from. He wanted to communicate with them but had no idea how.

"Can you speak?" he asked almost regretting the words as they exited his mouth. What kind of a dumb question is that? If they could speak would it be in English? Most likely not. Then something happened he did not expect at all.

"Yes, we can communicate."

"Who said that?" It was a deep throaty sound but none had moved their lips.

"I did, but you did not hear me, neither did your companions. We do not vocalize to communicate."

Suddenly the doctor felt invaded, his mind had someones voice in it that was not his own.

"Can you hear me now?" he asked without vocalizing.

"Of coarse." He looked each of the Giants in the eye until he saw the one who spoke, it was as clear as day to him now, almost like hearing and knowing the direction of sound.

"Who are you?" asked the doctor

"We are not supposed to be here."

"what do you mean?"

"We do not belong to this time or place."

"I don't understand."

"I know you can not understand, we are trespassing on a time and location. We traveled here from somewhere else."

"I understand coming here from a different location but what do you mean by time and where did you come from?"

"A distant place that your mind can not comprehend in its current state. Nor can you understand what I mean by a different time."

"You do not make sense to me. Are you time travelers? Did you come from the future or the past? I want to understand."

"We did not come from the past or the future because time as you understand it is not how it is. We came from another time and another place, you will never understand while you exist in this realm because your brain can not comprehend a different idea. To you time has only past, present and future. But that is the case only here in your minds. Elsewhere time is not measured in this way."

"I see, what place did you come from?"

"This is another concept you cannot understand but the best explanation would be we came form another universe but space is not what you believe it to be so until you are released from this realm you will not understand."

"We must be set free." said another of the giants.

"We will do no harm, we are here for only a short time and must accomplish what we set out to do." said a third.

"What is it you are trying to do?" asked the doctor.

"We are looking for one of our kind who is not supposed to be here. He came against our laws, he was banished because of this but we have gone against the wishes of our leaders to reclaim him. He wishes to dominate this people."

"We will complete our task with or without your help and against the wished of our people even if it means banishment we will find another place and time to be rather than allow this evil to come upon your people at the hands of ours."

"What do you mean with or without my help? You are bound and can not move, if you could you would be shot immediately."

"We travel time and distance with out craft do you suppose you can bind us with cords and chains? I simply ask your help out of respect for your people but I assure you we do not need your help."

"You are an interesting human, I will make you this offer once, help us by removing us from this place so we do not harm these men and we will take you with us, your mind would be freed from its current condition and you would be able to understand knowledge beyond comprehension of man kind."

"I must be crazy to take such a chance but your offer is certainly worth entertaining. I will think it over."

"We will leave with or without you in ten minutes by your time."

"Lead them to the bunker, they will not resist you."

Them soldiers pointed and indicated what they wanted done by their captors having not heard any conversation or knowing that one had taken place. The red giants did as they were instructed by the tips of the guns.

Once inside the bunker they were locked in and left to themselves. The bunker was a 300 foot deep solid concrete shaft with concrete slab door that was moved by way of hydraulics. The bunker was to launch missiles from but the government had not provided a missile to occupy the bunker so it sat empty but was perfect for holding five giants in. The doctor went to his office to contemplate the offer that was just presented him. There were certain things in this life he enjoyed and would probably miss like classical music and greasy pizza but he valued nothing more than education and his mind hungered for what the giants offered, if it was true then he felt he could not pass it up, he had no family, schooling had been his first priority since childhood and left little room for much else.

Nine minutes later he stood inside the missile bunker surrounded by five red giants without bindings and agreed to go with them.

"Excellent said the tallest, let us depart, he motioned at the side wall of the concrete bunker and the wall opened to the outside of someplace other than that of the jungle. It appeared to be a snow covered mountain some distance away from where they currently stood..

"If you can just walk out of here, why do you need of me?" the doctor asked.

"Lunch" one of them replied.

The doctor took a step back.

"You're buying. It's hard to order a pizza looking like this." A broad grin on the giants face.

Well there it is open middle and close. without any editing except spelling. now that my mind is in some kind of a forward gear I may try and work on my book today.
