Teal of Section Six

       Teal Porter always had a deep fascination with the occult. At age sixteen she met up with a group of   young adults who sought to take over the lower levels of the astral plane, calling it section six. The group had more of an influence on her than she realized. She eventually dropped out of school and killed herself. When she was brought forward to have her life review, only then did she realize her mistakes and begged the Lord to allow her to correct them.
      Jesus told her she was forgiven, but she must remain a spirit in between life and death in the place called section six. She must make sure the people who enter see the errors of there ways before they end up doing what she did.



THIS IS WHERE THE STORY BEGINS AS TEAL IS PUT INTO THE REALMS OF SECTION SIX. 

(Teal)   It's too dark in here, I hate this. I can see light but I can't reach it. I didn't know section six was another word for hell.

(Stranger)   It's not. 

(Teal)  Who said that?

(Stranger)  I did, I'm under your feet, you can't see me but I can see you.

(Teal)  How can you see anything in this hell hole?

(Stranger)  Ha, ha, ha, choose your words carefully my dear.   

 (Teal)What's your name?

Stranger) You don't need to know my name.

(Teal)Then what do I call you?


(Stranger   Void, you can call me Void.

whispers)

  (Teal)  What kind of a name is Void? It sounds creepy.

(Void)  Welcome to section six honey.



  Teal walks through darkened walls, only to realize later that she could walk through darkened walls. The voice called Void stayed under her feet. She doesn't know whether or not he is the devil or another soul trapped in section six. She asks him where they're going and he says nowhere.


(Teal) What do you mean we're going nowhere? How can we be going nowhere?

(Void) You're in section six now. Time doesn't exist. 

(Teal) At least if I could see something.


(Void) You want to see something? Okay, here goes.

  A dimmed light with a reddish glow illuminates the vast and darkened valley of section six. Teal sees that she has been walking through a swamp of bloody red fog, so thick it looks liquified. The valley is surrounded by mountains and dead trees. She sees a trail that leads to the top of a smaller hill side. Void warns her not to go up there.

(Void) I wouldn't go up there if I were you.

(Teal) Well, you're not me, and where are you anyways? And don't tell me you're under my feet. I don't see anything on the bottom of my shoes, and it doesn't look like there's a basement in section six.


(Void) I don't think now is the time for questions, you shouldn't be walking up here.

(Teal) Why not? It's better than staying down there.


Teal starts to hear a familiar voice as she gets closer to the top.

(Void) You don't want to see him here.

(Teal) It's Chris, how did you know that?


(Void) Know what? His name is Zondor in this realm and he's planning a take over, starting with section six. Once he gets this realm, it's all over. He's quite powerful and if he sees you down here, let's just say you'll be his bitch. You don't want to be anyone's bitch down here.

(Teal) So it's true?


(Void) What's true?

(Teal) Chris summonsing the spirit of Zondor and making a pact with the devil to rule the lower levels.

(Void) Holy shit you did fall for it didn't you? That's pathetic, I never thought I'd actually meet someone who cast thy life into thy fiery pits of hell for that douche bag. Ha, ha, ha. That's too funny.

 (Teal) Leave me alone asshole.


Halfway up the hill, Zondor senses movement and sends his minions after Teal. Void tells her to run after the shadow she sees ahead of her, it's him wearing the only form section six will allow him to wear. She is quickly sent through a large tunnel which leads to an underground cave. She fell hard on the dirt floor.

(Teal) Ouch, Damn it!!! What the fuck is this place anyways?


(Void) Shhh, they'll hear you.

(Teal) I don't really care shadow man.

(Zondor) Well, well, well, how's my little death princess? 

Teal screams as she sees Chris has transformed into the demonic form Zondor.

(Zondor) Oh, and it's nice to see you haven't lost any more weight Void. 

(laughs from the minions) 

(Teal) Get the hell out of here Chris, I don't care what you call yourself, you're seventeen and your brother is gay. You can't hide.


Zondor became angry, his teeth were black and scabs erupted all over his face. His large form lifted Teal up with his right hand.

(Zondor) Hell? Did I hear you say hell? You haven't even seen hell until you see what I'm going to do with section six. Altade, take this bitch to the mountain. It's time for a little sexual sacrifice. 


(Teal) Altade? Holy crap aren't those mints?


(Zondor) Silence bitch!

Zondor and his minions took Teal to the mountain's peak where they prepared for the sexual sacrifice. Meanwhile, Void attempted to gather seven dragons to help him in her rescue.  Zondor stripped her naked and tied her to a post. Her long brown hair was waving against the breeze. Zondor's   minions stripped themselves down to their bear naked green flesh.

(Void) Seven dragons by which you will rot with fear.

The sky quickly turns from red to burnt orange, brown and finally teal green. The dragons encircle the minions, giving Zondor a run for his lair at the foot of the hillside. His minions are thrashed by the dragons and are one by one sent back to the cave as well. Teal lays on the ground with marks where the rope that tied her becomes red like hot coals, burning her skin and electrifying her hair. The energy surges through her body like lightening, then cools as a soft teal green glow, matching the sky. The dragons quickly disburse and disappear into the teal green sky. 

(Teal) My hair matches my name.


(Void) It was nothing, just another day on the ranch.

(Teal) Thank you Void, but if you don't mind, I'm naked and I don't like being naked.

(Void) Naked is my favorite sweetheart, and you're welcome, but I'm afraid since you broke a rule, you'll have to earn your clothes bit by bit just like jail.

(Teal) WHAT?! I can't walk around naked, what if someone tries to hurt me?

(Void) You should've thought about that before breaking the rules. Now you'll have to earn clothes.

(Teal) Oh great! How exactly do I earn clothes?

(Void) Well, you can start by helping someone.

(Teal) Helping someone? Who? And how exactly do I do that when I'm naked?

(Void) Naked people can help, anyways, you can start by walking to your left towards that dark valley over there. It's called the dark city, and it's where Zondor takes his girlies for prostitution. You can earn a G-string if you stop a girl from whoring herself.

(Teal) Oh great! You expect me to walk into a prostitution town NAKED and trade places with someone? That's bull shit!

(Void) NO, NO, NO!!! Are you crazy? Sex will get you a thousand years of hard time. Don't mind the pun. No, you have to do good things, like helping people. Get it?

(Teal) I guess so. 

Teal walks naked through the darkened valley to the place called DARK CITY. She has no clothes and is guided by Void whom she can't see, and remains under her feet. The smells of rotted garbage fill the air as they approach the city that is filled with the flesh of darkened souls.

(Teal) Sorry, but I don't understand. Why is Zondor so powerful and you don't even have a body?


(Void) Ahem, before you start insulting me , just remember who your friends are. And because of you I have to find a new home.

(Teal)















 

Shin' Ar- Land of the Watchers

Shrink to fit in your pocket (incredible shrinking machine)

  When Dalia and Danny went to visit aunt Sarah, she had a pleasant surprise for them. Two tickets to the traveling gypsy rose carnival. On the day of the carnival, excitement was brewing as the two stepped off the bus with their red and gold tickets in hand. The gypsy rose was well known for their unique exhibits, starting with the psychic bumble bees. Next, was the bearded little girl and the juggling one armed man. Then they saw the punk rock kid with half a brain and a secret compartment in his head. Their favorite was the man whose face would turn colors matching the fruit and vegetables he had just eaten.

  Dalia and Danny went to every exhibit and decided to head for home, when Danny noticed a tent that had red and blue stripes and a sign written in Latin. Dalia took Latin the previous school year and began to translate the mysterious sign. Incredibilem apparatus detrectatione. The Incredible Shrinking Machine. Even though the exhibit was closed, curiosity got the better of the two and they decided to sneak a closer look at what they had discovered. There was a large full scale model of a small town, complete with a train station, gas station, library, court house, post office, and a grocery store with apartments, and houses on the tiny street behind it.

   Then they saw the machine itself. It was made of shiny silver from head to toe with shiny brass knobs and tubes. Come to Shrink Town only fifty bucks for two weeks. Dalia and Danny both looked at each other and noticed movement in the doll house exhibit. Danny quickly took his glasses off and extended his arms out so he and Dalia could both get a closer look at the people. They were all waving their hands and jumping up and down. They looked like they were screaming, but their tiny voices couldn't be heard. "I don't think they look very happy." Dalia said.

   All of a sudden there was a noise coming from outside, someone was coming. They hid under the table the exhibit was on. Two men entered. They were speaking Latin. One pulled out a blender while the other one gathered up the tiny people. Dalia turned as white as a ghost. She tried whispering to Danny what they were saying, but they both soon would see what was in store for the tiny people. The two men put them in the blender and hit sauté. Then they began to drink them. Dalia and Danny both came out from under the table screaming. They ran past the two men, but the men saw them both. They watched as the frightened kids ran towards the bus. Inveniemus eos. We'll find them.

  Danny stopped short, he was out of breath and frantically checking his pockets. "I dropped my wallet somewhere!" He shouted. "We can't get on the bus, our money is in my wallet. We have to find it."
  Dalia shook her head, making small steps towards the bus. She thought perhaps they would let them ride for free, but that most likely was a big no. Danny started to retrace his steps when he saw the two men. They were both looking around and wiping there mouths of the tiny people.

  "There they are." Danny said. "Lets go over here to hide." Danny saw a small gypsy caravan that had a sign for psychic readings on it. They ran as fast as they could to the caravan. Inside was an older woman dressed in black and purple. She quickly welcomed them in to view her crystal ball. Her sign on the wall said gypsy rose on it. "Are you the gypsy rose that owns the carnival?" Dalia asked, still a little out of breath.

  "My name is Anna, why have you come here in such a hurry? Did trouble follow you?" She asked. Dalia and Danny both looked at each other, unsure of what to say. "Yes, you can say that again." Danny responded. Dalia nudged him with her elbow. She whispered to him not to tell her what they saw, but Danny heard just the exact opposite.

  "No more whispers!" Anna  shouted. "You don't understand." Danny pleaded. "We saw two men in the tent and they killed these tiny people." "Danny be quiet!" Dalia screamed. Anna leaned into her crystal ball to gaze upon them with her spooky magnified eyes.

  "Did they... BLEND THEM!" Anna laughed like a mad woman while Dalia and Danny screamed. "Those  are not people my children, they are called Shrink to fits, they are computerized toys that can be eaten also."

  The sudden news came as both a relief and a shock, leaving the two feeling stupid. But that still didn't explain the signs in Latin and the machine. Anna took them both to the tent to properly meet her two brothers. The model of the town was to be used for a school play, and the Shrink to fits used weren't for sale since kids complained that they had unhappy faces, and the incredible shrinking machine was nothing more than a cappuccino machine, be it a very fancy cappuccino machine.

  In the end, Dalia and Danny would exchange apologizes with Anna and her brothers, plus refusing the shrink to fits that were offered to them. On a happy note, Danny's wallet was returned to him safe and sound. It hadn't gone far and was under the table the entire time. When they got on the bus, they waved goodbye to Anna and her brothers. The bus made a sudden stop for padestrians and Dalia was able to hear one last earful of Latin with the bus windows down.
Unum quod erat iuxta nos got paene captus.That was a close one, we almost got caught.
