The year is 1948. The second world war has just ended. During the bloody battle scientists discovered a porthole to the fourth dimension, also known as the "universe between." The first person to enter was OO Agent Robert Barnes. But he never came back. Equipped with a shovel, pressurized spacesuit, glass container, a high tech language translator, pistil with 50x zoom scope, and rocket launcher with 100x zoom scope. 56 years later in May. The government forgot all about the porthole and was lost, collecting dust, in the archives in Adak air force base in Alaska. One normal day 25 year old John Barnes, Robert Barnes son, who had been working in the air force for 3 years, was sent to go to the archives. His boss wanted him to go there to pickup the Vietnam war documentation. But right after he picked up the documentation he saw a very queer film that said, "classified." You see, what was really strange was that it was right behind the Vietnam war documentation. So he quietly snuck it in his pocket. He gave the Vietnam war documentation to his boss. Then he did his normal work and went home. His wife Marianne had gone shopping and his son was at grandma Sues, so he could watch the mysterious film in private. But he didn't have the right projector so he had to buy one. It cost him a bundle but that didn't matter, this was worth it. When he got home, he put some popcorn in the microwave. Then he closed the curtains and blinds. After that he turned the lights off and watched the film. He was extremely shocked when it said a porthole to the fourth dimension was discovered on Adak Air Force base! (Which was now abandoned) Then all of the sudden mom was in the garage while picking up his 10-year-old son, Michael! He quickly hid the projector, turning on the lights, and opening the curtains and blinds! He sat down on the sofa and turned on the T.V. His son cried, "DAD! I'm so glad to see you!" His wife kindly asked, "what were you up to while we were gone, honey?" John answered, "watching T.V. "Oh!" said Marianne. The family went fishing the rest of the day. That night John had a dream. He saw his father... Robert said, "Son! go to the porthole! John answered, "why?" Robert said, "That's where I died! It is your destiny!" John replied, "But I thought you died in a car accident! Besides, if you died there isn't that a reason not to go?" His father blurrily roared, "The government lied to you so you wouldn't know their filthy secret! And your other question, I was too young! You are old enough now! He Woke up groaning, "dad DAD! DAD! COME BACK!" His wife Marianne crooned, "Oh you poor little darling, you were having a nightmare! Are you all right?" John painfully announced,"Yeah I'm . . . ARG, my back! "Okay, I'll go get you a hot pack," uttered Marianne "you stay here, all right?" "okay," said John. Then he remembered the film. But he stayed put. Marianne put the hot pack on his back. 15 minutes later the family ate breakfast. Then she asked, "John could you take care of the house while we go shopping for clothes again?" "okay," remarked John. This was his chance to watch the rest of the film! He put some more popcorn in the microwave. Then he closed the curtains and blinds again. He turned off the lights again and watched part two of the film. It said that the porthole was in room 114. It also said that Robert Barnes was armed with a shovel, pressurized spacesuit, glass container, a high tech translator, pistil, and a rocket launcher. So he bought all that equipment at the air force equipment shoppe. Again it cost him a bundle, but again, it was worth it. John waited until Marianne got home. When they got home they made a huge fashion show with clothes. Then he asked if the family could have a nice vacation in Alaska. Mike wanted to see the huskies. Marianne wanted to learn about the native culture. So they all agreed it would be a good idea. One month later the family is in the summer house and John is really worried about the porthole. He's afraid it's too late to even go to there! But he had to try, so he asked Marianne if he could check out the abandoned Adak air force base. Marianne questioned, "WHY?" John answered, "just wondering if their air force is different than ours? That's all!" "Isn't that illegal?", pondered Marianne. "Um, no, since I work in an air force I'm allowed to, yeah. "Oh," said Marianne suspiciously, "Okay but be careful!" John got his equipment very stelthily and left. He was now heading to Adak air force base. It was quite old and rusty with cob webs everywhere. He remembered what the film said. He went to room 114 All he saw was four walls and some old IBM computers!? He leaned on the opposite wall. He fell in! He felt success! What was stranger was that his hand felt GREEN!!!! He didn't know what was going on. It just felt green nothing else!? He couldn't take it, he had to get out of there! He leaped out of the porthole. But he had to try again! He jumped back in there. Now his tongue felt BRIGHT!! He said," !@@#$%&*(()*_))???U@^^*(+, This is ABSURD!! What's going on?", he said. But this time he could handle this strange confusion. He was starting to think his dad died from going insane! (Which was true of course!) As he explored this large place, he saw a very bazaar little rodent!? Before he had time to do something it squeaked at him and dashed away! Then all of the sudden out of the dust he saw a very strange building. Inside the building it was very dark. He saw two large statues that were guarding the entrance. He took his camera and shot many pictures of the statues. He walked further he saw a scary creature that looked like something from starwars! He wasn't scared. He tried not to let the strange monster see him. He took a picture and killed him with the pistil he was carrying. A herd of them came trampling toward him he ran away. It was no use they were chasing him! He passed the statues. He bolted out the entrance. Heading toward the porthole. He couldn't take the monsters into his normal world. So he decided to sacrifice himself! The herd of monsters stopped they seem to be afraid of the porthole! The monsters ran away! "Thank God!" he sighed. Then he remembered the rocket launcher hauled on his back... Meanwhile Marianne and Michael were taking a nap. John explored further into this peculiar complex. He discovered a WATER SLIDE!! He didn't know how they built it but he took his chances. It was a long ride but when he got there it looked like an ancient alien palace built a couple of million years ago again he took lots of pictures. There was water up to his knees. It was a sort of castle all cracked up with water coming out of the fractures. He found a stair way up to the castle. It was very dark and creepy. All he found were mini water slides!? Then he found a strange body hanging from a rope!! He was startled at first then he regained his bravery. He found a another stair way but smaller this time. It was a long case of stairs but finally he uncovered another water slide. When he got down the water slide the water was up to his neck! He decided to swim. The water got deeper but he didn't care. Pretty soon he saw a log just floating there. He decided to take a break by lying on the log. Then he had a nutty idea that just might work, he could paddle while holding on to the log! It worked! He got to the other side! But there was another obstacle he had to tackle. He discovered a creepy watery grave! The only way to get across was to balance on the floating tombstones, while holding on to the giant cobweb hanging above. John shouted,"UHGH, this is going to be one hard ride!" he wondered how deep the water was? At least he knows how to swim. He gave it a try, the first time he fell into the water, it was deeper than a lake and colder than fargo in January! He couldn't believe it! The second time he had a tighter grip. Then all of the sudden a gigantic spider appeared from the cobweb! He double kicked with two feat while hanging on the cobweb. It fell into the water. Then two more appeared! He killed the first one by punching it about 10 times. That was when the second spider stung him! John got enraged! He punched and kicked the dang thing untill the stupid thing died. It was then he fell into the water again, but that was okay because he decided to swim the rest of the way. Then some thing grabed his pant leg! PAGE 2 |
