Load Full Story Next Chapter

Ever watched something Strange, something so strange that you just can't help it but smile at it? Or even better, Ever seen your dream come true, or at least one of your bigger ones? I did. And it wasn't all that fantastic as I thought it was. I sit at home, surrounded by four girls and one other guy in the group, all doing their own thing. The dream of every young man in this world right? Living alone with five beautiful girls? And a guy That doens't fit in the dream. Even so, I still can't believe this friggin huge house was given to us. There are six bedrooms in this house. And those are just the bedrooms.

The first one is clean but chaotic. You could see the one living in it could keep everything clean but didn't pay much attention at the stuff surrounding it. There was even a half eaten muffin on the desk. But let's hope it's a fresh one.

The second one is like a little lab. There was strange, alien electronics everywhere. Also, I think this is supposed to be the smallest room in the house. But there is a Box with barn print on it in this very room. How?

Number three was full of classical music items, like instruments and in the middle of them a Cello. I often stop here because of the delightful calm that comes out of this room. Also the music is soothing. I wonder what she is listening.

Room four was the Messiest of them all. Even the Chaos was less messy. But it was the place you can be if you want to play some loud music. It was sound proof, with a good reason. I once opened the door and got blast away by the sound coming out of it, so never doing that again.

The last one before we come to my room was really ladylike. Like one of a real princess. But I ignore the feeling. who can think themselves as someone normal…. Scratch that, I'm far from normal since a few days ago.

Then we come to my room, nothing interesting, a desk with computer, bed, closet, couch… Nothing special. Except one thing. The same few days ago that I stopped being normal, as normal as I was before, every morning, just like today, there are people in my bed who aren't supposed to be there. When will they finally learn?

Hmm? What happened that I gave this ranting to you guys? Well… Actually it's pretty easy. We humans live our lives normally like any other. We eat, drink sleep and do thing in between. There are people who are absorbed in UFO mysteries or big foot and stuff. Some people are adults and watch cartoons. I was a teen and watch cartoons, I game, and most of all, I work and Study. So yeah… What has this to do with the story? The part in the last sentence that I say ''was''. In other words my human rhythm is broken. How and why? Well, this will be good, I'll tell you guys how this story I'm in started. This story, that most consider a dream…

Returning Home: Strange world, Strange help

I was driving towards home, I just came from my friend's home and wanted to go home badly. The movie was awesome though. World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles. Seen it already so many times but it keeps getting better.
It was far in the night, almost one in the morning but I wasn't tired. I was hardly sleepy. The thought at my father alone at home was pressing. Not so long ago my mom died. Now me and my dad live alone in an average house in the city. Nothing special, just lonely sometimes. But until now he never seemed to care much about his time alone. I actually think he tries to get over it in private. Whatever suites him. I just want to go home, to bed, and sleep like I'm going in Hibernation. Not because I'm mentally tired, but my body has been working since 4 in the morning. So it's a bit sore.

I came to a crossroad where all the lights were red. I stopped and looked around me. No other car in sight, but still red. With the thought about street racing devils on the road that could ram me in a second I stayed and waited for the green light. But…instead something strange happened. The light finally decided to change to green, while the middle light started to blink orange. The lights of the parked cars were also blinking different colors and I noticed that every electrical device near me went haywire. Lights, phones, everything. Even my watch suddenly said It was 8…no 4… no 10, no agh, whatever.
I looked in the middle of the crossroad and saw a white light blinking in the air. I was faint and it looked like something appeared underneath the blinking. I closed my eyes as the light shined brighter and brighter. I suddenly heard some strange sounds and I tried to look into the light, which was already faint again. I slowly looked at the place where the light was and saw a strange scene. On the middle of the street stood a blue, barn print, box. I was amazed that that thing appeared. To satisfy my curiosity I stepped out of my car and walked to the box.
Next to my amazement the door opened. But the jaw-dropper came next. I averted my eyes at the sight but at the same time I was holding my hand in front of my mouth to stop the laughing. There was a guy coming out….totally naked. That image will be burned in my eyes.

''Wait, this isn't the outskirts of town. And it's freezing here. Better get back inside and find a warmer place for the rest.'' The man said. Another face showed up, a female one this was.
''Doctor, What went wrong?'' The girl asked to the man and he smiled.
''I have no idea where we are and it's freezing. Well like this it will be an adventure and I wanted that but with our passengers...'' The naked people went back inside and the sound and light began to appear again. Not expecting this I was blinded again. Before I could open my eyes I let out my frustration.
''Oh Come on! I just wanted to go home and now I'm Blinded, scarred for life and whatever is happening now!'' The light faded and when I could finally see I saw that I was yelling at a blank street, there was no-one there. No human except me was on this crossroad. Well, me and the owner of that fast driving light….
''CAR!'' I jumped up as fast as possible and ran towards the edge of the street, jumping for safety. Honking away the car passed the crossroad and left me alone with my thoughts. What the hell did I just see?

The next morning
Well, I hadn't really woken up yet, I was still thinking about last night. What did I see? I didn't have long to think about that because I got a yell from down below.
''Rick, don't you forget to go to the shops today?''
''No dad, I'm going in a few minutes.''
I quickly got of the computer after saying bye to my online friends. Quickly posted some things on the forum I was on and went down. I pulled on my jacket and went into town. I wouldn't call it a hangover, but I felt pretty wasted because of my lack of sleep. The things that happened yesterday wasn't something normal, but so familiar though. I just couldn't put my finger on it except saying it was just something of my life. I'm called a weird guy forever so what the hell. It was normal even though it wasn't… I giving myself another headache.

I went into the shopping mall and looked into some small shops, looking for the stuff I needed to gather. Small stuff for the upcoming holidays, some drinks in case of visitors, some snacks in case of visitors… Maybe I should look for something for myself too. I went out of the supermarket to look for something different that I could feast on like some bread from the bakery when I saw them. It were those same two people from last night but they were with three others. They were in front of me, a few meters away but still there. All five. They seemed in trouble but I ignored it in the first place. I already had a headache from yesterday and didn't want any more of that.

They just sat there with a piece of cloth around them against the cold. The box from earlier was gone but they kept their dignity and didn't beg. It was like they were waiting on something. After I passed them I stopped, I felt bad for them. But the experiences of yesterday stopped me from turning around and go to them.
''We have what you looked for.'' A voice said behind me. I turned around and saw a group of four guys in front of them with something in a bag.
Well look at that, I thought, there are more decent people then me that actually help them. Now I feel pretty bad about myself.
''And you will get it as soon as you hand the girls over.'' The same voice said again.
Okay…Scratch my last thought these guys are assholes. I walked back towards them but saw the guy stand up.
''No. I won't give them to you, they are my responsibility. I promised them to take them home and won't give them to you.'' The guy was so full of confidence. I was almost shocked, but so full of respect. Until the fist of one of the guys hit him. He went down hard. And the bullies all gave him a kick. Some of the girls stood up and told them to stop. Then it hit me…

I saw that nobody did something, they all looked. Why did they just look? They were all older, can't they do something. Why am I not doing anything?
I was scared. So scared about what could happen to me when I helped those people. Those strange people that appeared out of nowhere.

Yeah that was basically my train of thought at the moment, not the best but something stopped it. A law in physics that stated the following.
''Every single thing we do can change not only your future, but the future of everybody around you. Just like the figurative butterfly that can cause a hurricane by flapping his wings.''

I closed in because I believed this was the correct choice to be made. With this I can change their fates as well. People began to look at me but I didn't care. The guy in that was holding a girl up didn't pay any attention to me until I was way too close for a sane being. He looked at me while I grabbed his arm.
''Let her go.'' my eyes pierced his soul and I felt his arm shake.
''What did you say punk?'' He answered back and he had difficult to hold his voice straight.
''I said that you should let her go.'' I looked at the punk who was holding the Blonde Girl. I felt something well up inside me. A feeling that there were people behind me. That I wasn't alone in my actions. I slightly tightened the grip on his arm and I noticed he finally let the girl go. With a swift move he escaped my grip and he stood next to his palls.
''Wrong move pall, stealing away our prey.'' The guy pulled out a knife and tried to be intimidating towards me. I backed away. This was on a whole other level. I looked behind me and saw the effect of what that guy did. The man was hit down, the Blonde grabbed her head like it was almost pulled off and the others were tending them. I couldn't step aside.
''Damn it, come here if you dare you bucktards.'' A voice said, I turned around again and saw it was a blue haired girl I hadn't seen before. It was full of Ego but it was a voice full of confidence and care about her friends. She stood up beside me and assumed a position, even though she had the cloak of cloth on her, it kept its place and covered her body.
''Thanks for intervening dude, I'll take them from here.'' I was a little surprised by this but glad. On the other hand they still had a knife. But that was quickly solved. A strange sound was heard beside us and the knife flew away.
''What happened?'' The punk said looking at his hand.
''I made your knife magnetic. I won't let you attack my friends.'' The guy that was called the Doctor stood beside us with a strange thing in his mouth. I don't want to know where that was…

But The punks knew it was their loss. They yelled like the small fries they are that they would be back and continued running away. Even though I felt useless for doing nothing in particular, the situation could be a lot different if I did nothing. It felt pretty good… being mostly useless that is.

''Thanks mister, you saved my hair from being pulled out of my head.'' The blonde Girl said happily. I nodded and looked at the only male of their group and he nodded.
''Thanks, I owe you one.'' I did a no sign showing I didn't need it. the other girls however all nodded to me and I felt happy. I could help someone today. Hopefully also on other days…
We said our goodbyes at each other and I went back home. When I was close to home I noticed a large piece of land between houses. Strange how no-one build something there. A home that still had to be build? I shrugged it off and went home. Hoping to have another fun day tomorrow. Even my headache was gone. It was a good day, thinking.

It is great to be different.
