This Is a story I have been writing for a bit of fun, but I do it mainly to improve my writing skills so reviews would be grateful. Also, there may be errors in the story because I am not the most skilled writer or proofreader out there. Anyway I hope you enjoy the story as new chapters are added along the way.


Turf wars, The sport that every squid loves. You spray ink everywhere to win the game. Well, it's not that easy there are rules to it to make it more interesting. You have a team of four, your team needs to get the most ink on the floor than the enemy team. You can splat an enemy team member to delay them from their spreading ink so you have more time to fire your ink. Everyone has heard of it and played it, you would be considered "not fresh" if you hadn't played it or heard of it. Which I guess that makes me one of them. I don't play turf wars, I have only ever played it once when I was 14 and I didn't really think much of it. I didn't hate it I just preferred doing other stuff like building computers and writing code the "not fresh" stuff according to some people.

My name is Elliot and I'm currently 18 years old, I mainly sit down and create websites with code which most people would find boring but I enjoy it. Every so often I will go out one night with my friends to have a drink or just to hang out so I'm not a complete loner. My friends appreciate my work and usually ask for my help if they have problems with their computer or phone and I gladly help. I live in an apartment on my own but usually one of my friends come over to keep me company.

A knock on the door caught my attention causing me to get out of my seat to open it.

"Hey Elliot, you busy?" A smile appeared on his face for a moment.

"No, you wanna come on in?" I smile at him and move out the way to let him in.

My friend Archie is a nice guy, he spends a lot of his time at the shooting range testing out new weapons to be used in turf war. He comes to visit me often to talk about anything really, he is always looking at the news to keep on top of everything.

"Sheldon got me test out this new charger, I have never seen a weapon so powerful before" His widened just of the thought of it.

"Oh really?, what was it" I close the door behind and give him a quick glance.

"It was a high calibre charger. I had to lie down to fire it without hurting myself! It was able to penetrate through metal with ease and damn was it heavy." He shook his head in disbelief as if he was imagining it to be a dream.

"That doesn't seem very safe for it to be used for turf war?" I head towards the kitchen, which was across from the entrance to my apartment, to grab two cans of Kelpa cola.

"Yeah," Archie chuckles at my question. "It is for the military to use against armoured vehicles which were a change from testing out the typical plastic turf war guns".

I passed him his drink and take a seat on the soft sofa in the main room of the apartment which is next to the entrance of the apartment. "Sounds like some serious stuff?"

Archie collapses on the sofa and takes a sip from the refreshing drink. "yeah it does" He briefly, looks up pondering about the weapon. "Anyway! I found something that you will love".

"Really, what's that" I raise an eyebrow thinking of what it could be.

"You know those two squid sisters?"

"Yeah who doesn't? They are every squid's fantasy to meet them" I chuckle and shake my head of the thought of it.

"Well they're looking for someone to create a website about them, you know like a portfolio but instead to advertise their albums and stuff"

"You serious?" I look at him with wide eyes.

"Yeah I'm serious, you interested? If so I can send you the link"

"Yeah I'm interested, for sure" I nod my head and smile.

"Thought you would, I will send you the link now" He smiles at me and reaches for his phone from his pocket. "I've sent you the link but I gotta run now since I still got a few guns to test out and I'm sure your website will be the best against others. Anyway, I will see you later" He waves goodbye and leaves the room.

"Alright I will see you later" I close the door behind him and I rush to my computer. 'Let us begin' I think to myself.

…...

After looking at what Archie had sent me I had been doing research non-stop about the squid sisters. The competition requires that the website displays the latest albums by the squid sisters and to talk about their history and personality. I'm not a huge fan of the squid sisters but I have heard of their songs. The squid sisters also cover the news on the TV so its heard to miss them and well let us just say they have the looks. It's a boys dream to be able to go out with them so no wonder they are popular.

I have created many different websites for people which they pay me to do; I earn most of my money from doing this but they are only small businesses I've never had to make a website for a large company. So this could be my chance to get my name out there and maybe get employed to do contract work which would pay better and could move out of this small apartment. My apartment isn't terrible I would just like to have a bit more space for me to relax in.

My apartment only has 4 rooms a lounge, bathroom, kitchen and a bedroom. My bedroom is where I have a computer to do my work and of course sleep; the lounge is where I have my sofa and TV to relax in. Even though it's quite small I like, it has everything I need but I would just like an upgrade.

I'm never gonna get a new apartment if I just sit here and do nothing, I best get started with this website. First I will need to plan it out I have already written down the requirements so I will need to make sure that I meet those requirements or it will be a failure.

I turn my computer on and the monitors light up prompting me to log in. I quickly do so and launch photoshop to create quick designs of what the website will look like. I have two monitors on my computer, one on the left and one on the right. It makes my work more accessible for me I can work with two programs simultaneously. Not many people would put this much money into this but for me, I put a lot of money and work towards building this. The computer alone cost 100,000 squid coins so I can see why people disagree with spending that much money on what computer.

…..

The day is coming to an end and I am starting to get tired. I have been working non-stop since Archie left; once I start something I can't stop. I always try to get as much done as I can with the time I have. My friends sometimes say that I should take more breaks or go to sleep early because I am usually dead by the next day. It's getting close to midnight and I think that I should agree to what they say about my when I should sleep.

Saving my work and turning my computer off I lie in bed and look up at the ceiling. I've managed to get a few of the pages done for the site. But I've got this sick feeling that the website just won't be good enough. Some expert could be creating a website right now and easily beat the competition. I'm just an amateur who only has had a few years of experience. I shouldn't dwell on it I need to get some rest so I can be ready to continue my work tomorrow.
