This is a novelization of a series of comics I've been writing. Im not completely sure how it will measure up. My friends from school think its pretty funny, although hard to read. I hope you enjoy this, the first chapter of Walking on Sunshine. By Todd Slaughter.
Chapter 1: Man-Eating Flowers and Voices in my Head
________________________________________________________________________________
Darkness... is everywhere. "Where am I?", I think, "Why can't I see?" Suddenly, I remember to open your eyes. I see I am in a sunny, grassy field. To my righ,t I see flowers of all kinds and colors and a bright, shining sun. I smile, I'm in a happy place. But looking to my left, I see a vivid red sky. Silhouetted against it is an rocky mountain surrounded by fire and... tentacles? I wonder which way to go. For about 2 seconds.
I begin walking towards the flowers wondering how to get home... what is home? I stop, suddenly realizing I remember nothing of my past life. I try to remember a name, but every time I think I've got it, it slips through my fingers like a grain of sand in the wind. I decide to add my worries to the apparent long list of things you have forgotten. As I walk I whistle a strange tune I don't know the words too.
"You shouldn't go that way."
I stop. "Where did that come from?", I wonder. "Hello?", I ask.
"HI!", says a voice that seems to be in my very mind. "I said not to go that way, it's not a pleasant place at all."
I decide to do the smartest and cleverest thing I can think of. Panic. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", I scream, and run towards the safety of the field of flowers. "Get out of my head!"
"Wait! Don't-!", the mysterious voice exclaims.
I ignored the voice and ran. But I stopped short as I noticed a shadow on the ground. I look up to a ten foot tall flower that had not been there before. I stare openmouthed at it. In its center, a line forms, then widens. It gets wider and wider as I watch it, finally forming a... smile. Then its, er... lips, begin to spread to reveal row upon row of teeth sharper than a sharks. "Ooooohhh, shi-"
I never finish my sentence. The last thing I hear, is the mysteriuos voice.
"I told you so."
