I Come From The Swamp

By MARSHIMMER STORIES

Chapter One: How I came to be

I was out gator hunt'in, trying to catch one so that pa could deep fry and skin for gator boots. He said they were, like really comfortable and really cool to wear. Any way I was in the boat, paddling along, trying to remember what to do when I see one. So, I was like in 7 foot deep water, paddl'in along, try'in to spot a gator. Before long I was almost to the end of the swamp it self. "Where are those dang gators?" I said to myself. I soon got so bored I got out my guitar, and started playing some toons. It was really fun, you know just like playing along to birds and the wild life. Then, I heard a real loud sound. I almost crapped my pants it was so loud. Startled, I looked up to see a whirlybird going by. "Huh, wonder what there doing out here?" I thought as I looked at it while it was flying. I then saw a logo on its tail end: ATLAS CORPRATION. Confused, I then remembered how they were on the news about looking for some sort of chem.-thingy or someth'in. "Wonder why the governments here?" I said as I paddled out to home.

"I'MA HOME PA!" I shouted as I closed the door to my pa's house. Now, most people think we live in like, shanty towns, but we don't. I mean, it starts out as a town, but over time, like over a hundred years, it becomes a shanty town. Anyways, my pa came out. "Did you get a gator boy?" He said as he looked at my bag. "No pa, I couldn't find any gators, there aint any out there. I came home to tell you about that, like ATLAS corapration or someht'in like that." Pa looked at me, then ran to the window. "Are they here to herd us out boy, because they aint getting me out of my house!" I tried to calm him down, and well, that did'nt work well. "Pa please, let me explain!" I pleaded as he ran to get the family gun. It was a shotgun, one of those fan'cy ones you see at like, gun shows and crap. And it was really old too, like 50 years old or so. "Pa please!" "NO BOY THEY AINT HERDING US OUT OF HERE!" He bellowed as he ran to the door, crouching down like in those war movies. "PA!" I shouted, I slapped im in the face. He then calmed down. "Pa, all they were doing is looking for some chemical thingy." I said. He looked up at me, and said, "Young'un, you best go out looking for gators." I looked at him in disbelief, "But pa, did you not here what I just said, theres like dangerous chemical things out there!" He gave me a stern look, I then went out. I put the keys in the ignition, turned it and off I went. I looked for gators, but couldn't find me any for pa.

I looked at a marsh thing and saw a glow'in light of sorts. I smelled something reall'y funny too. When I got there, I carefully got out, mak'in sure I didn't step on any gators.

When I got reall'y close to it, I felt my body change or some'thin. It felt like my, like atoms I think there called, were changing. I got even closer, and then BAM! I was out like a light baby!

UNKNOWN PLACE

Celestia woke up with a jump. She had felt a disturbance in the void. She rubbed her head with her hooves, got up and walked to her balcony. As she walked to her balcony, she felt disturbed even more. "This is bad." She thought as she looked up into the moon.

Little did she know, that a happy, harmless swamp guy was about to land in her land
