Green Lake, Texas, U.S.
2006
It was a sunny day in Green Lake, Texas, where there were cowboys, hickory sauce, and a juvenile camp in the dried up lake where bad boys would come and were made to dig holes in the hot sun which would turn them into good boys. In the town near the dried up lake, in a worn out apartment, lived a boy who had a buzzed head and a little goatee, and he lived with his dad. His name is Johnny Wilson. Johnny loved to explore the weird, scary, and unusual ever since his father gave him a book that shown him creepy facts about the world. Ever since Johnny read that book, he wanted to explore the scary and unusual and he even used it as guidance. Today, he went outside with his book to go and meet his best friend who was also interested to explore the weird, scary, and unusual.
Johnny's best friend was kind of shy, had an afro that made him look like Corbin Bleu, lived in a nice house, and has a guitar. He would love to play his guitar to show his feelings, and he got interested in exploring the weird, scary, and unusual ever since Johnny told him all about the weird facts in his book. His name was Wyatt Williams. Wyatt was just playing his guitar when Johnny came to his house.
"Hi Johnny, what are you doing here?" Wyatt asked. "Dude, today is the day we are going to go digging at Camp Green Lake," Johnny explained, "so do you have the shovels ready?" "The shovels are all set." "Good, now let's call Stanley Yelnats and get going."
Wyatt's neighbors are Stanley Yelnats IV and Hector Zeroni, who have been convicts sent to Camp Green Lake to build on their character, so they know Camp Green Lake pretty well and have shovels ready to go. Wyatt called up Stanley and Hector and soon, they got shovels and the four boys got on a bus and headed towards Camp Green Lake, where there were holes filled with Yellow Spotted Lizards everywhere, and new ones were being formed every day.
The four boys got off the bus and went to the Camp Grounds where they met Stanley and Hectors' friends who were also convicts. "Hey, Caveman what's up!" An overweight boy named Armpit shouted. "Armpit, X-ray, Squid, Zigzag, Twitch, and Magnet; how's it going?" Stanley said. "Not too much, hey why are Zero, Johnny, and Wyatt doing here, why are you doing here?" X-ray asked. "Oh, we are here on an investigation, to dig up what we might find, a UFO burial ground." Johnny explained. The other boys laughed, "really, and would you might find alien corpses?" Squid jeered. "Yeah, maybe. My book says that there was a whole fleet of UFOs in this area and they caused disruption in the surrounding area and suddenly disappeared in 1947, same time as the Roswell UFO." Johnny explained. "The book also says that they might have been buried here in Camp Green Lake and we are here to dig them up and show them to the press." The boys still laughed, "good luck with that," Zigzag teased.
Johnny, Wyatt, Stanley, and Hector went to the head counselor of Camp Green Lake, Mr. Sir, to see if they can dig here to find the buried UFOs.
"UFOs? What you think there might be Decepticons buried in good old Camp Green Lake?" Mr. Sir said. "There ain't nothing here that is weird, scary, and unusual. The only unusual thing is that this place never rained in 100 years. And yall are telling me there are aliens buried here since 1947? What are you guys thinking?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Sir, sir," Johnny replied, "but can we just dig here just to prove that my book was right, and to prove you wrong?" "Yeah, please?" Wyatt asked politely. "All right, but if you're wrong, yall are going to wash my car for a month," Mr. Sir said. "Deal!" Stanley said.
The four kids went to a spot on Camp Green Lake that hasn't been dug up yet, and with their shovels, they started digging. Johnny and Wyatt weren't used to the digging, so they got blistered really bad, but Stanley and Hector got used to digging so they did most of the digging with the help of Johnny and Wyatt of course. After about six feet deep, the boys decided to expand the hole.
"I don't think the UFOs would be buried this deep," Hector said. "Well, my book said they were buried in this spot so let's keep expanding this hole," Johnny said. They keep expanding the hole until Stanley's shovel struck something metal. The kids pondered and then began digging at that site until they found some metal piece that was connected so they keep digging and they realized that the metal piece is just too big, so they called one of the counselors, Dr. Pendenski for help.
"Uh, Dr. Pendenski, I think we found something, you think maybe everyone including the warden should see this and give us a hand?" Stanley said. Pendenski went over to the site and found the metal piece and then he called the warden on his cell phone. "Uh, Lu, I think you should come down here and see this. Bring the other campers with you."
Soon, the rest of the campers came to the site along with the warden and she just pondered at the metal piece, Mr. Sir came too. "What in tarnation is this?" The Warden asked, "is this one of your Autobot friends?" "At least it ain't the Decepticons," Mr. Sir said in defense. "Never mind that guys, we need help pulling this thing up, could you guys help us tow this thing back to the surface?" Wyatt asked.
The Warden, counselors, and the campers agreed and they used the water truck to tow the metal object out of the ground, and that is when the guys find out that the metal object looked like a ship pod, that is big enough to fit one person, it was like a little star fighter.
"Holy crap. I'll be damned. It is a UFO!" Mr. Sir replied. "Or it could be a conspiracy that the American government pulled on us." Twitch said. "Well, let's go in the UFO and see what we can find." Johnny said. "Alright guys, go in and see what you can find." Mr. Sir said.
So Johnny, Wyatt, Stanley, and Hector went into the UFO to investigate. The UFO looked like it was made of silk, a giant flying cocoon, and it looked like it had a place where silk can be projected and used as a tow cable. The interior of the UFO looked silky and very high tech, with weird buttons and writing that was not writing from this planet. The four boys looked at the cockpit and saw that it was pretty cool. Then they found something sitting in the cockpit so they turned the chair and gasped at what they saw. It looked like some type of insect creature, preferably a moth creature, the exoskeleton and its eerie red eyes are all that's left of the dead alien.
"Guys, this dead alien is creepy and I think it's a Mothman." Johnny exclaimed. "OMG! Do you know what this means?" "No!" Wyatt stated. "It means that this dead alien is a Mothman, just like the Mothman in Point Pleasant." Johnny explained. "This proves that the Mothman is an alien, and I think they came to this planet in 1947 and most of them died here in Camp Green Lake, while others survived and went to other places like Point Pleasant. We just uncovered something really extraordinary, we got to tell the press." "OK! So let's get the corpse and get out of here!" Stanley shouted. The kids took the corpse and went out of the UFO to meet the rest of the people. They were shocked at what they brought out.
"What in tarnation is that?" The Warden asked. "This is a Mothman, corpse. This proves that the Mothman from Point Pleasant is an alien, and we would like to give this to the press to show the world, that aliens truly exist." Johnny said excitedly. "Well I'll be damned. What are we going to do with it?" Mr. Sir said. "Well, maybe you guys should hold on to the UFO and the Mothman corpse and we'll come back tomorrow to dig up more UFOs and such," Johnny said, "until we show these to the press, you should hold on to the corpse and UFO, they are your property." "Well then, thank you and we'll see you tomorrow." Dr. Pendenski said.
The four kids left Camp Green Lake and went back home. Stanley and Hector went to their respective homes and Johnny made a quick pit stop at Wyatt's home, where they watched American Idol. Then Johnny said goodbye to Wyatt and he went to his apartment where his father was there and he was pretty upset. "Where have you been?" Mr. Wilson said. "Well, I was at Wyatt's where we played cards and Guitar Hero," Johnny lied. "Uh huh! And I supposed that is what kept you there so late. Do you know what time it is?" Mr. Wilson angrily asked his son. "Uh well-" Johnny began, "and why are you all dirty?" His father interrupted. "Uh well I was, uh, playing out in the yard with Wyatt, he has a pretty messy yard," he lied. "Oh really, is it Johnny, is it?" His father chastised. "Well-" Johnny began, "I want the truth son, where have you been?" Johnny's father interrupted again. "Alright, the truth is that I went to Camp Green Lake with Wyatt, Stanley, and Hector and we dug up a UFO with a Mothman corpse in it." "You were out doing your little weird, scary, and unusual adventures again? Johnny, I'm serious, these adventures are making you paranoid and insane." "But dad, come on, this stuff is fascinating and finding this stuff makes it even more fascinating." "Yeah, well it has made you really insane and disobedient, I'm putting a stop to it right now, you are grounded!" "Come on dad, ever since you gave me this book I have been trying to uncover things here in Texas, this place has a lot of weird things. It made my life exciting, and I have just made the greatest discovery no man has ever done before." "Then very well son, since you are grounded, your punishment is a: your weird, scary, and unusual book will be confiscated and put away, I shouldn't have gave you that book; and b: since this place has a lot of weird things, we are leaving Texas and maybe going to a place that has a colder climate. I'm going to find a place that is good for you."
Johnny went to bed that night feeling very unhappy and angry, with his father. How could he treat me like this?Johnny thought. All I wanted was adventure and excitement. After about a few days going by, Mr. Wilson called Johnny to the living room of their apartment. "Son, I have found a place perfect for you, it has forests and a nice wet climate," Mr. Wilson said. "Oh really! And what's it called?" His son asked. "It's called Claremont, it has a nice school, a great beach, an excellent mall, and great stuff over there. It is in British Columbia, which is in Canada, so get ready to pack your stuff, we are leaving tomorrow." Then Johnny went to his room and started to pack his stuff.
The next day, the Wilsons were all ready to go. First, they made a quick stop to the Williams household so Johnny can say goodbye to Wyatt. "You're leaving Texas to go to this town in Canada named Claremont?" Wyatt asked. "Yeah, my dad is making me go, he says that I'm going insane here and that I need a change of scenery." Johnny said. "Wow, that rough." "So here is what I want you to do. Keep digging at Camp Green Lake with Stanley and Hector and see if you can find more UFO and Mothman corpses, we want the whole fleet, got it." "All right, that is what I'll do. Good luck in Claremont, Johnny." "Good luck here too, Wyatt."
Then the Wilsons left the Williams' household and went on a plane to Claremont, B.C. which, unbeknownst to Johnny is where his life will be changed forever and he might be even more insane.
Love it, hate it, review. Any of you guys got the Transformer joke?
