Well, where should I begin? I guess the beginning would be best.
But maybe I should introduce myself first. Hi, my name is
Ninten, I‟m from Podunk, a small town in rural America. In the
old days, Podunk was called Mothersday. Times have changed
since then. Well enough about that, maybe we should just get to
the story.



Prologue

It was the early 1900‟s. In Podunk, a small town in rural
America. A young couple mysteriously vanished from their
home. The mans‟ name was George, the womans‟ name was
Maria. As suddenly as he left, George reappeared 1 year later. He
began an odd study all by himself. As for Maria, she never
returned. George was accused for the murder of his wife and was
banished to Mt. Itoi, on the other side of the continent. But he
knew that one day, the people of the world would be sorry for
what they had done to him. Maybe not in his lifetime, maybe
not even in his sons‟, but sometime soon.
Chapter 1




Here‟s where my story begins.
The year is now 1988.

     I woke up around 9:00 in the morning. I could smell that
my mom was making breakfast. It was a nice day outside and I
was just about to go downstairs for breakfast. All of a sudden I
noticed that my lamp wasn‟t on the desk anymore.
     “Huh? Where‟d it g-!”
      I was immediately hit in the back of the head by
something hard. The impact made me fall to the ground. I
turned around and saw my lamp floating behind me.
      “WHOA!” I yelled, “WHY IS MY LAMP ATTACKING
ME?”
      It hit me again, this time even harder. I knew I had to fight
back now. I saw my Louisville Slugger across the room. I ran as
fast as a 13 year old kid could to get to my bat.
      “Okay lamp, now try to get me.”
      It came at me again, but this time I had the upper hand.
With an enormous bash, I smashed it to a million pieces.
      “Well it‟s a good thing that‟s finally over.”
      “HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLP!!!” I heard my sister; Minnie
yell from across the hall.
      “I guess I spoke too soon.”
      I ran out into the hall and through Minnie‟s door. As soon
as I entered, the first thing I saw was her doll floating in the air.
And the doll wasn‟t the only thing floating, the house began to
levitate into the sky. You couldn‟t understand what it felt like
unless you were there to experience it firsthand.
      “Minnie, stand back.”
      “DON‟T KILL MY DOLLY NINTEN!”
      “I‟m sorry Minnie, it must be done.
      I rushed forward and jumped into the air, straight for the
doll, and destroyed it with all my might. Seeing it fall to the
ground made me feel better about this. The house fell back to the
ground without making a noise or a movement. It was like it
had never happened at all.
      “Ninten, why did you kill the dolly that grandma gave
me?”
      “It was for the best Minnie, I don‟t know what‟s going on
here, but I‟m going to find out, no matter what it takes.”
        “Then in that case, take some orange juice.”
        “Yay! O.J.!”
        I suddenly noticed that there was a music box inside the
doll.
      “Minnie, did that doll play music?”
      “No, why?”
      I went over to the doll to see the mysterious music box up
close. When I picked it up it started playing a song. It sounded
familiar for some reason.




I went downstairs to talk to my mom about what jut happened.
      “Ninten, you have a call from your father.” My mom said
sounding soulless. She was probably still freaked out from what
had just happened.
      “Hello, Ninten? I jut talked to your mother about what had
just happened over there, and the only explanation is a
poltergeist. I want you to go into the basement and get your
great grandfathers journal, it will explain everything. Also I
think you are old enough to know now, you are gifted with a
supernatural power called PSI. It can be used for many purposes.
The one I want you to use is telepathy. Use it one the dog and
read his mind to see what he says.”
      I suddenly heard footsteps through the phone in the
background.
      “I have to go now Ninten, good luck and be good.”
      He hung up the phone and I knew what I had to do. So I
went outside to the dog and thought about what he may be
thinking. Focused on his mind completely, I suddenly heard a
voice that I had never heard before.
      “Ninten, I can tell what you‟re doing, I‟ve known about
your powers for a long time. I want you to check my doghouse.
You‟ll find what you are looking for in there.”
      “That must have been the dog talking to me.” I thought, “I
Should follow his advice.”
      I went over to the doghouse and looked inside. After
searching for about five minutes, I saw something almost
completely buried in the ground.
      “Is this the basement key?”
      I went back inside and tried the key on the lock and it
immediately opened. After looking through the basement I
found the journal. I stepped into the light and read what was
inside.
      February 18, 1908

I’ve been alone for so long, my so called friends were keeping me held away from my son. I wish my
Maria would come back to Earth. That wretch Geigue shall pay for taking her from me. When I was
sneaking around the mothership I was able to learn their secrets. Such as the power of PSI. PSI will
be my main study from now on. It could save the world one day. I noticed that only one year has passed
on this planet, but at least 40 had passed in space. Whoever reads this in the future, preferably my
son, please finish reading this journal. The planets fate is up to you.
         “Could this all mean me? Am I the one who has to save the
planet?”
CHAPTER 2




      “MOM!” I yelled, “I‟M GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD
WITH MY AWESOME PSYCHIC POWERS, SO I‟LL BE
GONE FOR A WHILE, POSSIBLY A FEW MONTHS SO I‟LL
SEE YOU SOME OTHER TIME!”
      “Okay, have fun!”
      So I headed out to go to Podunk, which was just south and
down the hill. About half way there, I saw my only neighbor
sitting outside of her house crying. So I went p to go talk to her.
      “What‟s wrong Mrs. L.S.?”
      “Oh, Ninten it‟s you.” She said still sobbing, “My
daughter, Pippi, went missing, I lost her when we went to the
cemetery. We were paying respects to her deceased father and she
got kidnapped by ZOMBIES!”
      “Oh, yeah I heard about the zombie problem in Podunk. I‟ll
try to save Pippi for you.”
      “Thank you Ninten, Please use your PSI powers to save
her.”
      “Man, does everybody know about my powers?”
      “Actually yeah, your mom can‟t keep a secret.”
      “Okay, anyways, I better be going to Podunk to find Pippi
and save the world.”
      Back on my way to Podunk, I noticed a clearing in the
forest just north of the city. There was also a sign that said west
to canary village.
      “Yeah, right.”
      So I realized that if I wanted to save Pippi and the world I
needed to get a new weapon.
      “The department store in the town should have some bats. I
need a new one anyways since I broke my old one when I
annihilated that doll.”
      In the store I went up to the sports floor and saw that just a
wooden bat costs $500. I thought that was a ripoff so I went up a
few more floors to see what other places had.
      “Why is there a pet store here?”
      “Oh, finally a customer.” The man at the counter said,
“Would you like to purchase this extremely annoying canary
for the low price of $85?”
      “Heck no!”
      “Okay, how about if it‟s free? Do you want it if it‟s free?
Please take the free canary. Here it‟s yours!”
      “Okay, okay, jeez.”
      Leaving the building I thought to myself, “Hey I saw that
sign for a canary village outside of the town. I can dump this
bird off there and then get back to the mission at hand.”
      After a long trip through the woods, bashing in the heads
of hippies, crows and farmers, I finally reached a place that had
enormous bird cages all around the area.
      “Amazing, there‟s big birds everywhere.” I said
sarcastically, “Who‟s that freaky blue-haired guy over there.”
      “‟Ello, guv!”
      “AAAA! British people!”
      “Would you „ave „appen to „ave found the missin‟ bird?
      “Um, if you mean this one then yeah I found it.”
      “Dats‟ the one!”
      “Okay who do I give it to?”
      “Laura, the biggest bird in the village, go find her with
your PSI.”
      “Did you just say that without an accent?”
      “Yeah it was a fake.”
      “Okay is she behind the big different colored bird cage?”
      “Yeah, but just because of this chapter, there won‟t be much
humor for the rest of the book.”
      “Okay, I have to go to that bird now.”
      After traveling to the big different bird cage and
discovering how to go behind it, I gave Laura the baby bird and
she sang a song for me.




     “That sounded like a higher pitched version of the song
from the doll.”

     February 23, 1908

It’s getting cold, so cold. I feel the day of reckoning may never come for me to see. I am growing
older and need to share my studies but no-one dares come near my house. They won’t even let me see
my son. Why won’t they let me see my own child? I fear that when Geigue does return to Earth that
he will be much stronger than I could ever imagine. And Maria will be no more. I have had suicidal
thoughts, but I can’t, because only I can save the world from the alien menaces. I can’t stand it
anymore, I need to get out of this house and share my secrets with the world. But I can’t, not yet. I
need to study more. I stole so many books from the mothership some even teaching something called
“robotics” but mostly PSI. I hope to make the world safe so that we can all join together as a species
and destroy those aliens. Please, come back to me Maria.
