Summer's here and I'm back in writing so I'm just now piecing together everything I've wrote here and there the past few months. I use to think everyone else on this site is lazy but it really is hard to sit down and start writing. Also I have a feeling that those reading this now isn't the same people who read this a while back so review!


The mans time asleep felt like forever. Thousands of thoughts flooded his mind yet none of them would make any sense until he got up. Finally, he did just that. His conscience slipped back to him and he slowly regained his thoughts. He could remember, but only back to the beach, nothing more. All those senseless thoughts he expected to make sense once he awoke instead scattered and gave him a headache as he tried hard to think.

Then he opened his eyes. He was laying in a bed of some kind which was sitting in a small grass hut. He wandered where he was now. One thing was sure though was that it was the same warmth as the beach before. This reminded him of his cuts, he checked under his wool blanket to see if they were still there. They were, but some were covered in, he guessed, deerskin patches. He decided it best to explore so he tried getting to the floor. He didn't have to hurry, whoever found him seemed friendly. "Ow" he thought as he shifted his weight to pull himself up. He was sore but had to know where he was. Limping he made his way to the wooden, bark-like door.

He walked outside to see what he guessed he would see. Thick jungle as far as the eye could see. The ground and air felt moist. The heat adding to that made him feel almost sticky and uncomfortable. He found himself standing in a clearing that appeared as a campsite. A small bond fire was still alive with a rack of tools beside it. A small helping of meat lay on a rock made as a table. From the sun it looked early in the morning and some unfamiliar bird was chirping somewhere nearby.

Then he heard a voice that he was surprised to hear. It was is own. It felt weird to speak in a voice that belonged to him but he didn't recognise.

"Hello. Hello? Is anyone out there?"


Luigi was in the kitchen fishing through his cereal. The kitchen, of course was still greatly damaged despite his attempt to clean it. He starred sheepishly out a window. A news reporter could be heard on the small T.V. on the counter top.

"I'm Ty Tlyerstein reporting live from downtown Mushroom City this morning where reports have informed us of strange happenings lately."

Luigi got up from his seat leaving the bowl. He was really not in the mood to clean anything more. Grabbing his backpack he packed the last of the pile he had laid out the night before.

"Such weird incidents indeed. Let us go now to a local toad who witnessed this phenomenon!"

With that done Luigi mounted his backpack and walked regretfully tired out the door. Or what was left of it.

"So than this giant, bright flash just appeared and all these little rocks just pelted us from out of nowhere!"


He approached the book filled home.

He began to speak as he opened the wooden door, "Elvin I'm..."

The plumber gasped. The place was recked. The house was a mess before but now it was worse. The bookshelves were on their side and books cluttered the floor even more now. The wall paper was ripped. The shelves had all fallen. But one thing really caught his attention. Books. The countless books that filled the home were all slashed with heavy claw marks and gashes. Pages were ripped, shredded, and littered the floor. Allot of them appeared burned.

Upon closer expectation he noticed a piece of paper folded in a triangle alone on the chair. He picked it up and unfolded it carefully. All that was on it was a phrase written symbols he didn't understand. He turned the page over. On the back it read, "Page 15."

"Page 15?" he said quizzically.

He looked out the window while he thought what that could mean. It was nice out, it didn't change the headache that was started to come over Luigi. Than it hit him, literally.

"Ow! Why does everything keep falling on my head!" he shouted as a book fell on him, "Wait, that's it!"

He pulled "A Brief History of Life" from his backpack and flipped through to page 15. There he found a chart of the same symbols as the note. He took a minute to translate.

"M. I. N. I... Y... O... That's it, Mini Mario Toy Factory! Wait, Elvins at the toy factory? The plot thickens and I'm so very lost."


About 20 minutes later the door to the factory creaked open as a figures head peaked through.

"Hello." Luigi's voice echoed through the empty building. "Hellooo." he yelled again as he stepped into the large room. Hearing no response he took a few cautious steps into the dark. The room was very quiet making Luigi's nerves jump.

"Hellooo-ow."

He bumped into something while blindly walking forward. Suddenly a loud beep went off followed by many other noises. Luigi froze as the noises got louder and a red light shone around the room. He gained control again and darted to the door. He just almost made it until slammed shut taking with it the light from the outside world. He turned and ran again.

"Stooop!" a familiar voice shouted.

The lights flickered on. Luigi turned around to see the small figure of Elvin Toad by the door.

"Elvin, boy am I glad to see you."

"C'mon plumber boy how do you expect to journey with me like that? Scared of the dark are we?

"One, plumber boy, just yesterday I was your 'savoir'. And two when was the last time you got outside to cut your lawn?"

Elvin's mouth opened but Luigi kept talking.

"Besides, I never even told you if I'm going yet."

"I thought..." Elvin said.

"But I am." Luigi finished, "I don't know if it's my destiny, or anything big like that. What I do know is something strange is happening and I plan to get to the bottom of it. Even, if I lose my mind in the process."

Elvin smiled.

"Come on, I've got some explaining to do."

The two head to a door at the far side of the room.

"So why were you running around like mad?" he asked.

"That, my friend, is a story for another time." Luigi said smiling.
