Future forumlaA Story by Ama May CooperA very short story if not slightly rushed... just let me kno what you thinkBeauty was all around him as he lay quitely in the field. The wind gently caressing his hair as the summer heat warmed him. His naked frame nestling lovingly in the bright and lively grass. He slept soundly, in his mind he was still at home a million years in the past curled up in his bed nestling beneath his soft sheets. Around him the world grew oblvious to the young boy. The flowers curling toward the sun , straining to cup it all in there little heads. A few years past a formula had been created that meant flowers grew within the day noticably with sunshine, a blue bell began to germinate under his hand, pushing and forcing its way between his fingers. He stirred only lightly forcing the grass to shiver and bend beneath his frame. He sighed lightly in the last few moments of deep sleep, before his eyes began to twitch and blink.
Upon opening his eyes James was throughly confused, there was sky above him and grass all around him. He pinched himself to make sure he wasnt asleep and upon yelping in pain had deducted that he really was lieing naked in a field. He sat up his eyes taking in the mircealous beauty of his current location, the sunshine high in the sky bringing the field to live. Flowers blossoming everywhere, colouring the floor in an excitable frenzy. James raised an eyebrow, he was certain flowers didnt grow that fast. Reaching out he picked the near by blue bell, and was greeted by the stangest response , it screamed out a high pitched agnosing scream and a deep red began to fall from its petals. The scream was piercing, almost as if somone had plunged a rock into his mind and was rubbing over all his nerve endings.
"S-ss-ooo--rry" he stammered not altogther sure what to do in this strange situation The flower began to wilt in his hands, to mold and liquify as it turned a murky shade of brown. Repulsed he dropped it and watched as it sunk through the floor back from where it had grown. He stood up , his nude figure a silohette amongst the beauty. He felt ashamed, there was noone around, but he cudent shake the feeling of eyes everywhere and quickly covered his gentials for dignity's sake.
"Boy what are you doing here where are you clothes" Poor james nearly jumped out of his skin as a large purple kangaroo placed his hand on his shoulder. He had half a mind to turn and run, but in this strange land he was certain he would get hopelessly lost and never find his way home.
"Speak up boy" the kangaroo spoke again James wasnt quite able to voice words, he was feeling steadly dizzier and rather taken aback at a kangaroo with the ablity to talk.
"Boy!?" James blacked out, he felt his head hit the floor and was strangely suprized at how soft and comfterable it actually was. But before he had time to really take all that in everything had gone black and silent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------2---------------------------------------------------------------------------- James awoke on a bed. Sheets tucked in tightly around him , pinning him down with quite some strength. The covers where an odd shade of lime green, made from what looked like feathers but felt like silk. He wiggled slightly, and pressed himself into a sitting position. He was in a house, filled with buttons and gadgets, whirring machines and electronic items. He scanned the room from left to right ; a large marble bookcase to the side of him with the names of the books scrolling along the spines like mini computer screens, a window with metal shutters folded almost symetrically and perfectly into place, a table piled high with remote controls and batteries. This place was like none he had ever seen before he stuggled to leave the bed but the covers where pulled tight over.
"sir please stay still. Performing life signal scan." A robotic voice said appearing to have come from the bed itself. He froze in shock, to the beds apparnt delight as it thanked him for co-operating. After a little while a screen matrilized infront of him , with information such as his current heart beat blood pressure weight and height.
"Your looking much better now, feel free to get up" The covers sprung back from his body and the bed which he now realised had been hovering lowered to ground level. At this point he also realised he was clothed, strangly enough in stuff to his own fashion taste. He was wearing ; a pair of jeans with rips in the knee's and a chain hanging from the pocket to the belt, the belt itself was a pitch black item with what looked like carved guns and roses all around it. He ran his fingers along it, feeling the groove's and dents. His shirt had a soft texture and a light blue colouring with stripes running it down it of a darker shade of blue. He stroked it , it reallly was rather soft.
"Ah so mr james your awake now, im very sorry if i startled you" The purple kangaroo offered a hand. "Im Matt its very nice to meet you" "How do you kno my name" James took the kangaroo's hand and shook it in a firm hand shake
The kangaroo pointed half heartly to the computer screen that was hovering above the bed, and realised his name was printed alongside the top. He stared at , not quite beliving that a computer had worked out his name from scanning him but there is was James Milhouse Brackett in large black lettering across the top. He eagerly got off the bed before it decided it more information about himself.
"Where is this place?" james questioned The kangaroo laughed, a deep hearty laugh. Much like one you'd expect from a fat baker. "Dont be silly boy. This is the most famous place in the whole of the world, you must of atleast heard of it. Its St diago the biggest city there has ever been on the whole of plant gen"
James eyes widened. "Gen .. im from planet earth!?, what" The kangaroo laughed again. "You say such silly things planet earth was destroyed years ago in a great war between to very powerful tribes, this is the new planet earth built exactly where she died" James shook his head, fear growing in his throat. He loacated the door and quickly made for it yanking hard on its large oak frame. Desperate to be away from this crazy place and back home. Only the door wudent open, and after 10minutes of aimless struggling he collapsed into a heap of tears on the floor. The kangaroo looked puzzeled and rather worried.
"James? Are you ok there?"
Tears streamed down his face. He pummeled the door with his knuckles , he just wanted to go home, to get out of this crazy world , this crazy dream. " I just want this stupid door to open" he shouted
Asoon as the word open had slipped from his mouth the door swung on its hindges smacking him square in the face and sending him scurrying across the floor and into the wall on the other side of the room. James looked throughly terrified, as he grabbed his head in pain. The kangroo swiftly crossed the room and helped poor james to his feet while uttering a gentle "close". The door shut as quickly as it had opened. "James. You need to explain whats going on, im not gonna let you go running around claming your from a planet that was destroyed years ago people will lock you up!" The kangaroo looked genuinly concered. "I dont kno what happened i went to sleep. and i just woke up here, the only thing that was even remotly weird about yesterday was this ring" James reached his hand up to show the kangaroo the ring, and watched as he leapt backwards fear floodng thru his senses. "GET BACK KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME" he screamed James blinked and looked down at it, twisting it around on his fingers. It was then he noticed an insription in tiny little letters that he wudent of notied unless he was inspecting it, and then his heart dropped , his mind was filled with sadness because right then he knew, this was to become his new home. A home away from home never to return, travel forward never back, sleep and rest, but here you wake FOREVER. He sat down and put his head in his hands. "Guess you better show me around then" he smiled at the kangaroo. © 2009 Ama May CooperAuthor's Note
