![]() the man on the road parts1 through 10A Story by zendikar![]() 1-10![]() The man
on the road part 1 The man on the road,
short and hardened by the weather, was hungry. He had nowhere to be but there,
on the road. Seeing as there was no better place for this man on the road,
falling apart and winding, he decided to walk. So this is how his story began... "Hello"..... "Am I alone".... The man on the road, wet from rain, looked around curiously at
the noise he had heard. Shrugging it off he started thinking of where he would
get his next meal... not only where but when... it had been three days. Three
long days. Three days ago the man on the road, burning from the heat of the
sun, ate a sandwich... not any special sandwich just an everyday run of
the mill sandwich found in your everyday run of the grocery store. that was
when the man on the road, old and worn, had last eaten. Luckily it had started
raining and he was able to drink that but as far as food... well what happens
when you have not eaten in three days... you get hungry.... "Hey" "You up ahead slow down" The man on the road, suddenly sleek and "alive", ran
trying to catch up to someone. Someone else on the road. He had not seen
another soul for some time now and was excited. Reaching the spot where he had
seen someone... the man on the road, twisting confusingly, realized there was
no one there... just a shadow and him. "Well might as well stay here for the night" The man on the road, short and hardened by the
weather... falling apart and winding... wet from rain... burning
from the heat of the sun... old and worn... suddenly sleek and
"alive"... twisting confusingly, decided that it was time to
sleep and so, that is what he did. To be continued... what will happen to this man? and the strange descriptions of
him, or wait where those descriptions of the road.... what will happen to this
man on the road... The man on the road part 2 *Groan* "Boy was that one good night of sleep im rarin ta go
now"! The man on the road, rough around the edges yet homely at the
same time, started anew his rigorous walking as he had the day prior and as he
shall tomorrow. It seemed on the brink of rain, but not with clouds over head
and the looming sound of thunder in the distance, no, it was more the dense
humidity you feel on an especially hot and humid day that you only
feel just before a cooling rain comes. The man on the road, simple but with a
touch of hidden intricacy knew he did not have much time before the downpour,
and with down pours often came lighting. The man on the road, hot and
dehydrated, needed somewhere safe to wait his storm out, for that is what was
coming a storm not like any storm ever seen in the world.... and he could feel
that he could feel the importance of shelter this simple man on the road could
feel something no one else in the world could feel..... (as probably silly as
these will seem well get over it I'm a silly guy just look deep into the writing
for the intelligent stuff it's there) the end of the world! Now as the narrator I feel implied to tell you that this
man, let’s call him Jerry because I do not know what his name actually is :),
is not the main character of this story he was just the figure i used to
introduce the coming of the end of the world in a more calm way because as we
all know had the story started out being called (ANOTHER STORY THATS TOTALLY
ABOUT THE WORLD ENDING JUST LIKE ALL EIGHTEEN MILLION TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND
OTHER ONES OUT THERE) then many of you the reader would not have opened the
link to these pages? Another reason that Jerry was introduced was because I
wanted to weed out anyone that just judged the book by its cover all those
people that didn't bother opening this story the man on the road 2 will be
missing out on one of the most action packed stories of their lifetimes.... or
at least a page or two of writing.... depending on how long it lasts and if i
get bored of it or not! ok enough babbling now, on with the story, let's go
meet the real hero of this story a man named Steve, well here we go into the
story of a lifetime if you dare to follow I'll see you again in the third
"thrilling" chapter of the man on the road. The man on the road
part 3 Well here we go readers
onto the story of a lifetime for those of you who have traveled with
Jerry you will notice a whole different kind of story when you meet Steve! *Yawn* *Stretch* "Rex, come here boy"! "Morning Rex wanna go outside,
come on lets go"!!! Steve, a young man in his late twenties, lived alone with his
dog Rex. He lived on a little house on a big hill in a little town called
Flourence, in the state of Ohio. Steve did not know what was going to happen
today, and he did not know that it would change his life forever. Today was Steve's last
day on Earth, well it was everyone’s last day on earth but Steve is one of the
few people on earth that his last day is not today. You see years ago somewhere
in Canada, a place where many a wondrous thing can happen mainly
because of their awesome ability of having two languages on everything
including the bottles of Hershey's syrup that you use to make that
chocolate milk with every morning, a scientist by the name of Eugene Stomper, a
man of great intellect and small confidence, created the first spaceship that
could travel at the speed of light! But, as soon as the Canadian Government
found out that Eugene could actually only read one of the languages on the
Hershey's bottle, they promptly kicked him out of Canada, because everyone
knows you can only visit Canada for a couple of weeks before you get kicked out
unless you can entirely read the Hershey's bottle to the highest ranking
Canadian officer at the time. That’s when Eugene decided to move to a little
town in Ohio, the town of Flourence. Once in Flourence Eugene brought together
the smartest of the smart, and all of his Star trek buddies to help him make a
secret base to continue and improve upon his spaceship, also he did not want to
pay taxes and everyone knows that if you build a secret base underground that
the government does not know about then you do not have to pay taxes, and trust
me readers you wouldn't want to pay taxes on a spaceship either. Well if you
have been paying close attention you will have noted that Steve's house lies atop
a large hill, and that when you're building a secret lair underground you often
need to do so under said type of hill well, it just so happens that directly
under Steve's house was this secret lair. Now back to Steve. "Wow Rex it sure is hot out here" let’s go back in and
have breakfast" said the sweating Steve, as he headed back for the house.
Rex wouldn't follow though, which was not an odd occurrence seeing as
Rex is a dog and often they like being outside even when it's hot. So Steve went
back inside and started cooking some eggs, it was a normal morning for Steve,
cooking his normal eggs while Rex played outside just hanging out at his normal
home because it was his normal day off just like every Tuesday, Steve finished
cooking his eggs and went to his normal table pulled out his normal chair and
started to eat like normal, while eating he looked out his normal window and
could see the normal enlarging Crack in his lawn with a
large Metallic object proceeding to rise up out of it...... "What
the @$#%" Steve jumped up from his seat and ran out his, beautifully well
made by a expert wood carver from Peru, door. "Rex"!!!! "REX
WHERE ARE YOU, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE". The crack was opening wider by
the second, and on the large object rising from it you could read L.A.R.P.,
which made Steve pause for a moment and think... L.A.R.P. what is this some
kind of geek fest from under my yard? ...that moment of pausing was just enough
time for the crack to open up under Steve causing him to fall! Well you will have to read the next installment of the man on
the road if you wish to find out what happens next, I do not have the biggest
of attention spans so sorry about the cliffhanger ending haha maybe it will
make you read the next one! The man on the road
part 4 Steve wakes up to
something licking his face "Rex..." *SLUURP* "hi Rex". It
was pitch black wherever he was but that's not what was worrying Steve, he just
realized that he hadn't had time to finish his eggs!!! So he decided he had
better find a way out of here no matter where here was because a day without
breakfast is like being kicked in the gonads. After felling around for quite
some time Steve decided that it was probably best to stay in one spot. Rex
stayed right with Steve supplying a constant stream of drool because that’s
what dogs do to make people happy drool on them.... "Have you
awoken"? said a mysterious voice "WHERE THE (four letter word) AM
I" screamed Steve as Rex drooled just a little less. "Good, follow
the light" WOOOOOSH! a strong wind passed by Steve and Rex and suddenly a
path of blue light appeared on the floor. "HEY LISTEN HERE IM NOT JUST
SOME PUPPET TO DO AS YOU SAY WHERE AM I" continued Steve, after much
silence Steve noticed that the light was slowly disappearing then he heard
the voice again " I suggest you move now" Steve, being a stubborn
one, begrudgingly moved forward, then started to move faster, then broke into a
run... he could barely see the light! SMACK "OW CRAP".... "what
was that" asked Steve while rubbing his head... "Ummmm that was the
door had you not broken into a run you may have seen it before running into
it". Steve was not having a good day first no breakfast and now an unknown
voice telling him what to do... "grrr" Rex seemed to notice
something. "Oh Rex shwew thank goodness you followed me".... the
voice came again "you sure do take your time don't you"? maybe we
should have just left you outside"... Steve opened the door with haste and
anger to find.... shoes???? the voice came back but this time it was a little
different "Marty you led him to the shoe closet why would you do
that"? then the first voice "woops sorry" another path lit up
and Steve thought to himself "wow.... morons trapped me in their
basement" after following the line Steve arrived at another door when he opened
it he saw.... the man on the road part five "Damn, that wasn't supposed to happen yet you guys even
messed up the plot come on" said Steve... "DEAL WITH IT ALL YOU WERE
GOING TO DO WAS WALK AROUND IN THE DARK UNTIL YOU LEARNED SOME SORT OF AMAZING
SKILL THAT YOU WILL USE IN A FUTURE PART OF THIS STORY NOW GET INTO PART FIVE
AND STOP COMPLAINING" Read part five to find out what happens next in this oh
so suspenseful story "the man on the road" The man on the road
part 5 The following is rated TV
14 for nudity.... but this isn't TV and the fact that no one is wearing
clothing in this story in unknown to you so everyone can read it yay!!!!! "Grrr".... Rex noticed something again "oh no not
more shoes" said Steve... entering the room Steve and Rex saw two very nerdy
looking young men sitting at what looked like a room made of a giant computer.
"Hello" it was the first voice from the previous part. "My name
is Marty, and seeing as no males have asked for their name to be in here, my
name is" he thought for some time.... "Uuuhhhmmmm... hey Marty what
should be my name"? shaking his head sadly Marty stated "His name is
carl he was just hoping to get a different name because his name is
not capitalized" Well here is some back story on carl.... his name is
spelled c-a-r-l no capitals.... ok back story over. "Hey I thought you
said we would think up a better name" whined carl... "Wow you two
certainly are less intimidating in person" said Steve mockingly.
"Where am I anyway"? carl and Marty looked at each other then back to
Steve apparently nervous... "Well..." started carl "We are not
exactly sure where we are" finished Marty. Steve chuckled for a moment
before realizing that they were not pulling his leg either literally or
metaphorically. "WHAT"!!! "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T
KNOW"!!!! "well... we didn’t realize how strong we made our
engines" carl said "And when we started launching we noticed you fall
so we pulled you on board with us, needless to say your golden retriever
followed//////ATTENTION THIS IS A BREAK IN THE STORY TO EXPLAIN THAT REX IS
ACTUALLY A GOLDEN RETRIEVER SEEING AS HE HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN DESCRIBED IT
WAS DECIDED HE WOULD BE NOW THANK YOU now back to the story//////ATTENTION and that’s
how my great aunt Martha saved the day by yodeling and why I was named Marty
after her" explained Marty "Right.... and that mattered why"?
asked Steve... "Where are we, tell me NOW"! "When we pulled you
on board your golden retriever ran in here and jumped on the controls to get to
my sandwich, which he ate by the way, and sent us to a random location
somewhere in the universe so we have no idea where we are" said carl. Steve
apparently in deep thought promptly fell to the ground for no apparent
reason..... That is when he woke up.... it was one minute later he had passed out
from an anxiety attack he was really on the ship with two star trek nerds that
named their ship L.A.R.P. and he really had fallen to the ground..... What’s next in the thrilling story of a man on the road? Tune in
to the next chapter to find out!!!! The man on the road
part 6 *DING* "It is now
Twelve Noon please wind your wrist watches now" NEW IN PART SIX!!!!! "BLUE" *WOOF* barked Rex "What's going on here" said in
a British accent. "carl, without a capital c for all of you
listening to this on the audio tape, stop speaking in that silly British
accent, we aren't going to give you a new name even if your voice sounds
different" proclaimed Marty! "awww" whined carl "awww man why would you guys even build a spaceship like
this anyway? asked Steve from the floor. carl looked at Steve funny "have
you ever heard of Eugene Stomper"? "Yeah Eugene wanted us to take it
out on a test run before we set off on our voyage to travel to a Galaxy Far Far
Away" finished Marty. "Wow lame joke aside that sounds pretty
serious... how long have you guys been under my house?".... ..... ..... "Didn’t you read part 3... since years ago c'mon get with
the program "stated carl. "well since we are asking questions about
previous parts of this story what was with that creepy guy from the first and
second parts? did he even have anything to do with anything"??? asked
Marty "yeah, remembered he sensed that the Earth would end today"!
said Steve nonchalantly...."WHAT"! all three immediately yelled while
Rex peed in the corner, but they weren't yelling at Rex in fact no one would
even notice that Rex peed in the corner until part 7. "The Earth i... is
ending today???" asked carl "hmmmm" wondered Steve "How
does the earth just end anyway?" Marty answered with "I don't
know..... maybe it’s just disappeared?"?!?!?!? <-------"Why
did you have a bunch of exclamation points and question marks after your
previous statement?" asked carl *BOOM* The ship rocked from
being hit by something.... Various
"AAAAAHHHHHH"s were heard from the men yelling Rex had finished peeing
and fell asleep but was awoken by the bang and he (Rex) promptly whimpered.... What exactly happened? Will the next part be in
Redovision? Who will discover that Rex peed? What is the square root of 225? Why am I asking so many questions? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT EXCITING INSTALLMENT OF THE MAN ON THE
ROAD!!!!!! The man on the road
parts 7 & 8 FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY
BY OUR STUFF TO MAKE US MONEY!!!! ALSO, LIMITED TO US MEANS INFINITE!!!! Just In New For Part Seven!!!!! IT'S IN WHITEOVISION (which means no it’s not going to be in
Redovision): the man on the road part 8!!! The scene (two fans talking about part 7) fan1: "wow wasn't it funny when carl fell into Rex's pee
hahaha" fan2: "yeah and then Marty was all like (deep voice) I'm
Marty and I just realized we are orbiting the moon and that big BOOM
was the Earth spontaneously combusting"
fan1: "haha yeah that certainly was odd wasn't it?".....
fan2 "pssst what else was supposed to happen in part 7?" fan1
"ummmm.... oh yeah! And then Rex explained to us that the square root of
225 is actually 15" fan2: "no you idiot Rex is the dog!!!!"
fan1: "oh shoot! I MEAN MARTY!!!! YEAH MARTY EXPLAINED THAT" *shifty
eyes* fan2: "YEAH!! and then that's when that guy writing this story came
up to us and paid us to pretend we know what went on in part 7 because he was
too lazy to write it all out!!!... oh yeah and weren't we supposed to add some
cool stuff in too?" fan1: "oh yeah... right and also in part 7.....
*suddenly fan1 died of spontaneous combustion* fan2: "wow i didn't
remember that from part 7 i guess i missed that part"..... "Ow" proclaimed Marty "That hurt... Charlie bit
me!"... "Ummm who's Charlie" asked carl right before Steve
quickly said "not you because his name has a capital C hahahahaha"
they all looked at each other wondering why they were there, it was strange,
the world had ended, carl had ended... up in Rex's pee, and the sandwich, from
part 5, ended... up in Rex. but none of that explained why they were in part
eight and had no recollection of part seven... luckily most of part seven had
been taken up by infomercials, especially that one about the slicy thing that
will slice up eggs, onions, or even lettuce, and all that good stuff yeah so at
least you didn't miss much... I think im gonna go buy a rotisserie oven thing
for chicken and other various foods, now you, just keep reading haha.... "So I guess that's the end of Earth huh?" guessed
Steve.... There was a long silence.... Find out what happens after the silence in part nine see you
next time with the man on the road part 9.... .... ... "you have to keep writing" said Steve "hey
who are you to tell me what to do" I asked "you're lucky I gave you a
capital S" Steve was apparently intimidated by my awesomeness but
nonetheless continued "no I'm not making you keep writing it's just that
if you stop writing you might fall asleep"..... I thought... and thought
some more... "okay you are right Steve I'll keep writing"... and so
part 8 shall continue... "hmmmm.... what should we do" asked carl, while
wishing he had a capital C. "well I guess since the Genre of this story is
adventure we could always advent..." said Marty "wait a minute!...
there aren't any nuns around here" said Steve as silence followed his lame
joke. Rex decided that this would be the perfect time to lay down... so he went
to the corner he didn't pee in to lie down... wow dogs are exceedingly
entertaining aren't they... That's when it happened Marty suddenly remembered
something!!! "AWWWWW CRAP" yelled Marty! "what" (alongside of) "what's wrong" from
carl and Steve "I forgot to turn my oven off" said Marty hanging his
head..... "well now we know what caused the Earth to explode"
said Steve angrily... "thanks a lot Marty you should be the one without a
capital letter in your name" added carl "wow Marty you ended the Earth?"...... "WHO SAID THAT?" Steve, Marty, and carl all asked at
once!!!!! OH NO there seems to be a new voice in this story, whatever will
happen next??? Oh well at least we can be sure it will be AWESOME!!!! The man on the road
part 9 OMG!!! A NEW VOICE... of
all the strange things that have happened this may be the strangest! "It's me" said the new voice "The female
character that needed to be introduced so that there is a strong role model for
women everywhere that read this story" she proceeded to say while taking
off all her clothes... down to the bottom layer.... which was a business suit
because women are equal and deserve respect! "Cough" coughed carl.
"Oh yeah I know who you are, you're that flight attendant we hired the
other day to service us... i.e. bring us drinks and blankets of course"
said Marty... quickly followed by carl coughing "cough". "Yes
hello my name is Jen, but um yeah so you really ended earth... with your
oven?" asked Jen. "Well yeah you see it's 2012 and the world needed some
way to end what better way than an oven causing it to spontaneously
combust?"... "oh"...That is when Rex proceeded to pee again...
on carl... "hey what the #@%!, stop it dog"... carl yelled "awww
cute puppy come hear boy" said Jen offering Rex a treat... Rex ignored her
obviously because he knew he was the most intelligent being on this
spaceship... "well what should we do we are stuck out here in space with
no planet and only three people left... and a dog of course"... asked the
newly introduced Jen... "ummm" said Steve after saying
"hmmm" but right before adding "I don't know... I could always
use that skill that I learned somehow by walking around in the dark for a long
time in part 4?"... "Yeah but what does being able to yodel have to
do with the situation we're in?"asked the seemingly confused carl...
"right... good point, I wonder how that's going to be useful in the
future?" wondered Steve "Wow Steve i really like your Capital S it's
very nice" added Jen... carl would cry later that night for not only had
the Earth ended today but that's like 10 jokes about dealing with
capitalization of names so far and we are only in part 9. "well I guess we
might as well just go to our respected rooms and chillax" stated Marty
"I'll set up the blue light to lead us to the apartments and a green one
for anyone that wants to go to the kitchen cough...fatass...cough" said
carl And so they went in their respective ways for now all wondering
what will happen to them and Steve wondering what there was to eat while, carl
wondered if he would ever evolve into a Carl... with a capital C(poor Pokémon
joke along with a capital letter joke YAY!!!) Jen and Marty both went to their
respective rooms and Rex... well Rex of course went with Steve just one
sandwich a day is not nearly enough for a fatty like him... Until next time... well i guess you will be bored until next
time, Ahem, anyways see you in the next "THRILLING" part of the man
on the road!!! DUH DUH DUUUUUHHHH!!!! <----added for suspenfulness "I think I'll eat it now" said Steve just before you
stop reading The man on the road
part 10 Previously, in the man on
the road.... Stuff happened now… the man on the road part 10 All of the passengers of Dragonsfire went to their respective
rooms.... what? what’s that you say? "what the heck is Dragonsfire"
carl asked me.... oh right about that L.A.R.P. was too boring to write what
with all those periods so I changed the name of the ship to Dragonsfire...
"oh" said carl....well anyway they were all thinking thoughts in
their minds except for Steve his stomach was doing the thinking in the
kitchen.... Jen the new character that wears a business suit even on a
spaceship so as to be a good role model for little girls everywhere was
thinking..."man I wish....." that is when she fell asleep
mid-thought Steve, not yet being tired and being currently full, headed back
to the computer room to see what he could learn about this ship. Marty passed
out as soon as his head hit the pillow... the funny thing is that he is in a
position, one which looks as though he is prepared to accept something into his
behind... just sitting there sleeping away awaiting some sort of foreign object
to en.... enough of that... and carl is sitting in his room minding his own
business when suddenly something strange starts to happen his c starts
flickering between capital and lower case! c.....C.....c....C....c...C...c..C..c.C.cCcCcCccccCCCCccccCCC....
then suddenly it stops!.... Steve had started pressing the B button on his Game
boy just when carls c was about to become capitalized causing carl to remain
carl as opposed to Carl (you may remember this joke from such games as.... Pokémon...)
carl then proceeds to cry himself to sleep in a fetal position... holding a
stuffed Teddy bear, that inexplicably gets to have an uppercase T, and sucking
his thumb. Seeing as everyone has fallen asleep with the exception of
Steve, and Rex lets go see what he's doing.... "Steve?"... oh...
Steve seems to have fallen asleep in the computer chair, well then let's go
follow Rex... Rex was a dog but not just any dog he was a dog on an
adventure.... he was also presumably the only dog left alive.... but that's
besides the point... maybe... well anyway as you all know from previous parts
to this "wonderful" story Rex is the coolest cat... I mean dog on
this spaceship.... apparently well anyway being such an adventurous dog Rex was
busying himself by... umm.. by lying in the corner... he'll probably get up and do something
awesome anytime now... any second now.. soon, I can feel it... just a minute... JUST THEN! rex got up and walked around sniffing! "Sweet
Jesus, follow that dog" I said to no one because I'm the narrator... and so that's just what I did.. he walked all the way to the
other corner of the room... and he... he started peeing... yep... woop di
doo.... he then proceeded to go to the other corner and fall asleep.... well um... yeah see you all in part 11 hahaha hope you enjoyed the first 10
