SUPER 8

The aftermath.

Lillian, Ohio summer of 1979 changed everyone's lives. It was a summer that town including six teenagers would never forget, where were they now since the extraterrestrial beast had finally got to go home and live in peace. At last, Dr Woodward's dying wish being fulfilled; the creature that escaped area 51 had finally taken off into the depths of outer space back to its home planet where it would never have to deal with that bastard Colonel Nelec and the government again.

Months had eventually passed, but the aftermath had been absolutely devastating, Homes were still left destroyed by the tanks that roamed the streets along with the wildfire that had been purposely set up by the government, luckily mostly everything had been cleaned up, Buildings were rebuilt, Food and medical supplies had been given to the town of Lillian along with a new water tower being built. The strange events that took place had terrified the town and left everyone scared for life but yet, things couldn't yet get better for one person Joe Lamb. Alice was now Joe Lamb's girlfriend,

Autumn 1979

Joe lamb, gazed down at his TV dinner that he was holding. "Why can't we just go out to the diner to eat? Joe asked his father, Jackson lamb. "Son I already told you, there's something I have to deal with. A robbery I have to investigate. Besides, I'll be back before you know it. His father ruffled his hair as he walked out of the house. Joe sighed as he looked down at his plastic blue tray, stabbing the greasy Salisbury steak biting into it. Hell he wasn't even sure if it was real food in the first place, but he was hungry. His thoughts ran on about Charles and his other friends, along with his girlfriend Alice Dainard as he continued to watch a cheesy black and white film on television of a girl screaming and running from zombies. "Joe! A voice caught his attention. It was Charles Kaznyk the chubby kid, peeking over by the window that was open. "Let us in! I got this mint idea for a movie to shoot! And what the hell are you eating? It looks like shit! Joe rolled his eyes as he opened the door to let his friend's in. Charles was carrying some scripts, and a monster movie makeup kit. "I was eating a TV dinner, since I couldn't go out tonight with my dad to eat at Carols Diner, he had to deal with something, anyways, have you guys seen Alice? Is she coming? Charles let out an annoyed sigh. "Jesus freak-show, yeah she's coming! Joe lambs face began to lighten up as his face turned red. "She's actually coming to see me… wow. Joe gazed in awe. Charles turned around and looked at Cary, martin, and Preston. He began to cover his face with his hands. "I think he's in love. Cary snickered. "Shut up, I hope he's not, I just hope he's not. Charles shook his head with a worried look on his face. "Listen, Joe get over here. Charles ordered. "When Alice comes in here she's going to think this script is totally mint! I'm telling you, it's like the best idea yet I thought of, but let me tell you guys first. Cary rolled his eyes as he began playing with the lighter he had in his pocket. "So, sometime around Halloween were going to go down to where the train was derailed at midnight to film this epic zombie movie! Charles smiled. Everyone's eyes widened, along with Martin puking as usual. "Are you crazy? There's no way I'm going back there! Remember what happened the last time we were there? Trains flying everywhere and Dr Woodward going insane! Preston had snapped. Charles frowned at all of his friends. "You're all so bogus! Shit I want to get my movie done so I can get some mone-. "No one cares about your dumb film production! Cary cut him off. "Apparently your forgetting what the hell happened to this town! You're acting like of as nothing happened! There was a long lingering silence between all of them. "You know what.. I feel as though something is still not right, like… whatever happened to old man Woodward? Martin sighed; everyone turned and looked at him. "I was wondering about that too, we should really find out what happened to him. Joe explained. "Hell, he was probably eaten by that alien, that's what most likely happened to him, I mean, what else could have happened? Cary fidgeted with his lighter. "I don't know, I just. Think something else more happened to him.

There was a sudden knock on the door and everyone turned to look. "I… I'll get it. Joe stuttered trying not to sound nervous. He opened the door to see the blond haired beauty Alice Dainard. Joe stared intensely for a moment, turning a deep red. "He.. Hey. Joe tried to say hi as he stuttered, but all she did was pull him into a hug wrapping her arms around him. "I.. really missed you. Alice giggled softly. She held him for what seemed about like five minutes'. Joe closed his eyes as he began to breathe in what smelled like a faint scent of honeysuckle. "I really missed you too. Alice finally pulled him away, smiling at him blushing. Cary, Preston, Charles, and martin stood staring at them in shock; Charles was more frowned up since he had feelings for Alice. "Anyways.. Cary chuckled slightly. "Guess what Alice… Cheese Weasel here wants us to go back to the derailed train station on Halloween to film a zombie horror movie! Alice's eyes widened as she frowned over at Charles. "Why the hell would you want us to go back there? Alice had suddenly snapped furiously, do remember what even happened to us? We almost nearly had gotten blown to bits by the train. Alice shouted at Charles, it was somewhat of an embarrassing moment for him as his friends snickered under their breaths because he was getting scolded and yelled at by a girl. She didn't really like Charles'.. All she needed was Joe.

"Listen, uh guys.. It's really getting late, you might as well hurry up and get home, my dad might be home any second since he's probably almost done investigating, stop by here tomorrow and we can talk about Charles's bogus ass movie. Everyone nodded in agreement.

As his friends began to leave, Alice was the last one to step out the door but she stopped in her footsteps and turned around. "Joe... I really... am scared still… you're really all I need. She held his hand, looking into his eyes with tears filling up. "I promise, I will never let anything happen to you Alice, ever, even if that means risking my own life for you, I would. You mean alot to me. Joe blushed. "I love you… she slowly turned around, Alice grabbed her green shiny bike and rode off down the street to go home, all Joe could do was watch in awe as her long blond hair whipped around.

All he could do was think of her as he laid down gazing up at the discolored ceiling, around his room were posters of sci fi and horror movies. Along with painted and unpainted models of monsters, aliens, and people in astronaut suits, basically all kinds of things. "She.. Really likes me.
