Ok, I have come up with an idea for a fiction story to write and share with the Mobius Forum community. I have written a first-chapter to introduce you to one of the characters' stories in this fiction, and to get opinions, on which I will base my decision to continue with more chapters--- see each chapter will be written and posted if I get some feedback on the one before. So here's my first chapter, I hope you like it.
Prologue
Enter, Jake
There are some secrets in this world that even the most powerful beings are unaware of. Secrets that I know. It’s not easy covering up a global conspiracy, but hey, what can you do. If I were to come out with this stuff, it would be disaster for my entire family tree, and to cause that kind of trouble, what kind of person would I be? Now, granted, it wasn’t me who started this whole thing, but being the latest generation in a family of heroes, the responsibility would fall on me and everyone who would come after me. I’d be infamous, a villain going down in history, forever. The stress of keeping this thing in the closet is already such a drag, but I can’t even imagine how my life would carry on if I let this thing go. I’d probably be assassinated.
So, I know exactly what you’re thinking reading these paragraphs. You’re wondering, “What is this conspiracy?†“What famous family does he belong to?†“Who is this guy?†“Why is he reading our minds?†and I can legitimately say that all those things should be revealed by the end of this story, so hold on to your hats. In fact, some of them will be revealed within the next chapter, so just keep on reading, and you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t worry too much about who I am, or what I’m doing, because you will find out unless you close your browser because I just keep on breaking the fourth wall, over and over and over again. I wouldn’t worry too much about that either, because once this story picks up, you’ll be seeing it a lot less. Oh snap, I did it again.
You see, the real substance to this thing kicks in right about now. You know, the part where I tell you the stories that happen, the adventures I go on, all the stuff that I should get on with within the next sentence, so I will. It all started this morning, when I hopped out of the hotel beds and flipped open my laptop, yes, in my underwear.
I opened up Internet Explorer and I went to hotmail.com. I checked my inbox, when I saw the e-mail that’s title began with one very specific word. Now, being who I am and all, it’s that one word that makes your heart stop. The one that makes your stomach turn, your senses heightened… the word that makes you more aware of your surroundings… that one word is “CLASSIFIEDâ€. No, I’m not saying that it would be illegal for me to tell you, I’m telling you that CLASSIFIED IS that one word. It means that whatever is in this email is really, really, REALLY important, and top-secret information that I probably shouldn’t be telling you.
But, of course, I will. It would be a huge disappointment for me to build it all up just to leave you falling without a parachute. It would be like the book that didn’t tell you what happened to the characters in the end. So, here’s what the email said.
“Hello, Mr. Parks, this is a notification from the United States Government here to inform you that the components in the government secret vault that you reserved have been compromised. We are doing our very best to recover your personal things, and of course, our spokespeople will be denying every word that the Associated Press says, as usual. And, as for your belongings, we have put insurance on them and you will receive every dollar. Thank you for your cooperation as we go to retrieve your things, I assure you they will be back in your vault as soon as possible. Again, thank you Mr. Parks, I will most likely be speaking with you again soon.â€
Oh, dang. He did not just say that. I mean, and after all that talk about the whole government conspiracy being figured out, it’s almost as if this was planned to happen right at this moment, and oh, I’m sure it was. Apparently, my whole big family secret thing actually has been discovered, and you know as well as I do that that is NOT a good thing at all. Not good. No.
I’m Jake Parks, and apparently, I have an all new adventure ahead of me. I’m sure it’ll involve some combat of some kind, some drama, and some other genres all mixed up in there somewhere. I mean, that is how most of these things work, isn’t it? If it is, then it also means that this little chapter that’s been written to try and get you hooked on the story is OVER and I have to say adios, amigos.
I hope you liked it! Tell me what ya think!
