Issue 001:'Fucking alien technology!' 'I feel stupid and contagious'-Kurt Cobain See it's like this Alice...Everything is contagious. Everything is connected. Everything. Your mortgage, your dead pet hamster, everything. It's all trapped in this big web we call life. Right now I need your help. You see, my fate and your fate are inextricably linked. If your hearing this then things are B.A.D and I need you on board for the mission. Alice I need you psyched up and ready for war. Your being drafted and I'm the commander. My name? My name is Spider-Fingers Clay. You can call me Spider if you like. I'm the worlds only true magician. Not illusionist. David Copperfield can lick my balls, I'm talking about the black arts here baby...I don't do hocus pocus. It angers me that so many people don't discern the difference. Yes we have assistants. Yes we have a flair for the theatrical. Of course we like attention. However REAL magicians DON'T pull rabbits out of hats and as for cards....sorry. I'm ranting now right? Well prison does that to a man. Now ...where was I.....ahhh....yes. No1) Your probably still reeling from the sight of my accomplice's hand reaching out of your computer and placing this audio disk on your table. Sorry. Trust me. Your the only one that can handle all of this. You can handle this and you are NOT mad. I traded so much soul to reach you. You are very special. By the way...do I sound camp on C.D? It's just that...actually this can wait...I'ts hard to focus here. I'm on another plane and its your job to save me. Your my only hope. No2) Yes. I need you in the most personal way. I need to take over your body to operate on the 3rd dimension. Pandora manifesting on your world wasn't exactly without sacrifice. Magic is all about what your willing to give up Alice. Poor Pan gave her life just so that you might receive this c.d. Well...it actually just looks like a c.d but in reality it is a psychic suggestion which will allow me to (via a high frequency signal of course) allow me to pass through time and space and into your body. I know I sound quite flippant but I guess that's just the mindset of a soldier. Your an educated girl I don't wanna patronise yer. Anyway soon the frequency will have completed it's download and you'll be...me! Which is cool ok? I'll give you your body back as soon as i'm done so like it's all good. Others like me (I'm dead sure) wouldn't even bother with any explanations. It's not like I need to tell you any of this. You won't remember any of what happens to you once I'm 'in'. At least that's what it says on the tin so to speak. I trust the Doch-Zieniens and the machines I've 'liberated' from their homeworld so just relax when the change hits you ok? One last thing. It's very, very important that when the lights dim and your whole world starts to swim, that you don't under any circumstance st.................................. Alice, well past the 'what the hell is going on' stage' fiddled with the stereo system. Her efforts to continue listening to the c.d were in vain though. She knew it somehow. Alice was a strange one. Alice Carrol 23 and counting was no stranger to issue inducing circumstance. She remembered very little of the times when her father beat her mother but since therapy she had all but processed and understood those now long distant episodes to be resolved. Processed. Obviously she prided herself on her resilience. The many times she would drive down to what ever dodgy pub May (Her mother) lay sprawled out in, carry her (not without stumbling) to the car and upon arriving home put her to bed. Yes...Alice was 23 years of great inner strength. You don't get that way on your own though. One must take into account that Alice's faith in Tao, an eastern philosophy, saw her through everything. Her mother, The turbulance her father wrought, everything that she has had lived to endure had all gone through a filter, if you will of Taoism. Today it again was helping her, aiding her ability to react. This Spider-Fingers needed her help. Either that or she was finally snapping. She considered getting up and making her way to the yellow pages to secure a meeting with a professional in all matters psychological when: BANG! A force not unlike that of a strong wind slammed into the front of her head. Her nose started to bleed and her eyes rolled back as she began crying in absolute agony. She panicked as the room around her seemed to bend and twist around her. What was she suppossed to do? Was she having a fit? If this is the beginning of Spider taking over her then he could of at least warned her about the pain. Was he about to do so when the c.d stopped working? Was she going mad? She vomited forcefully and pissed herself. She had to get help. She had to stand up and get to her mother who...no! Her mother couldn't even help herself let alone her with this new 'condition'. she cursed herself for AGAIN thinking like one of them. A normal person who in times of weakness and vulnerabilty naturally would turn their parents. She had to get to her phone still lying on the bed where she had last used it. She had to call Harry. She stood up. She stood up and was immediately transfixed without any semblance of motor activity on a point on the ceiling. The lights in the room dimmed and the world around her began to swirl and spin as if it were going down some kind of plug hole. She knew in her heart that standing up was a bad idea. B.A.D. She knew this to be true because Spider knew this to be true. From this point on Alice Carrol would cease to exist and somebody else would walk in her place. Spider: Fucking alien technology! Alice: Shit I'm mad. Spider: No your not. I however am stupid cos i used a faulty device to transfer myself here. You shouldn't even be 'in' here let alone 'share' this head-space. This is supposed to be a premium device. Now it's all fucking bronze mantle. Fucking hell! Fucking alien technology! Alice: Shit. Spider: You think this is bad? In a moment your going to get pregnant. Your then going to go through the advanced stages of labor and then to top it off the baby you give birth to is gonna grow before your very eyes into...well. Me! Fucking alien technology. Alice: Baby? Hmm...physical evidence. At least then I'd know that I'm not mad. A baby? Fuck. I'm nuts.It's all in my head. Harry should be here. He'd know what to do. He's my man. I have to wash this piss off me before he gets here. Hows my hair...get a grip!....looks like I'm cracki... Spider: Alice? Alice: Spider? Spider: Shut up. Get your phone and ring someone you can trust to come round here pronto. Your going to have a baby. To be continued... |
