"When I was six, if I had a scary computer game, I thought the monsters that was in it would jump out and eat me!" Jack said.
Jack is my best friend. I'm Ben. We were talking about embarressments in our lives.
"When I was about five, I went to bed, and when I woke up, I got stuck under my bed covers and I thought I was in a Blob monsters stomach!" I said.
I don't know why but that happened again, but this time, it really was a monster and it wasn't when I got out of bed and I was 12 years old.
Chapter 2
It all started when we had come back from the park. "Hi mum! Hi dad!" I shouted down the hallway.
"Hello Ben" dad replied. I walked in the living room and saw something that would never usually be in a living room.....
"WOW! Dad! Are you crazy?" I shouted. He had a monster truck in the house! "How did you get it in the house? Why? I asked more calmly.
"Well, we took the thing to pieces to fit in the house and and we got it in here because they made a new 100 piece monster truck and they wanted us to try it out. So they used our house to see if it would work. Before you say anything, it's not a jigsaw truck" dad answered.
After he finished answering, I went to sit in the monster truck. But when I climbed in, I saw something green and slimey on the chair.
Chapter 3
I couldn't tell what it was but it looked like this goo that I used to play with. It was in an air-tight container filled with water up to a mark that said 'Half Way'
"Dad, what's that?" I asked.
"Oh God, you're not going to believe this!" He shouted. "This green thing seems to have come from mars! It came crashing through the ceiling and scientists say it's harmless but no way they can be sure. It came in an egg and it needed a pick axe to open it! Can you believe it
Dad is a right chatterbox and he could probably talk about this slimey thing for hours. Dad has black hair and brown eyes, he is tall and thin. Anyway, as he chatted on, I heard drooling behind me. I looked round and saw my dog Max, trying to eat the mars thing.
"Ben! Get Max off it now!" Dad ordered me. So I grabbed his collar and pulled him off. Max sulked back on his bed and went sleep. I turned away and heard bubbling. It came from the thing again but it couldn't be Max and we haven't got any other pets so what would it be?
I turned round again and I saw that the mars thing was twice as big as usual!
Chapter 4
I just paused for ages until I saw it move. The water was soaking up and finally it had gone. The thing - hang on, we'll call it a blob - it had changed colour. It was now blue. It is getting bigger. It's bulging out the box. Dad and the man that owns this truck has gone in the kitchen to get a can of beer like they always do when it's this hot (32 degrees). I was left with the blob inside a monster truck.
"Ben, I'm just going out for awhile if that's ok with you" Dad said to me.
"But dad, look at the - "
Too late, he had already gone.
So what am I supposed to do now my dads out. So I'm alone and there's a big blob, hlf the size of a monster truck that's in our living room and it's growing by the second!?!?
Well that's been answered, call a scientist. THE scientist.
So I shot to the phone and dialed. As soon as I'd finished I phoned the police and fire fighters to come. I spun round and saw that the blob filled half the room and was trying to break through the wall.
Chapter 5
I backed up as the blob turned round, it was now alive, it had stopped growing now but it was twice as long and twice as high as a monster truck! It had huge blue eyes and the strength of his arm was so big that when it hit the wall, it seemed to turn to dust, it didn't even look like he tried to hit it!
The police came round to our drive and suddenly backed up about 100 mtrs! Then the fire fighters and scientist came along. The scientist went twice as far back as the police, twice as fast.
The phone is something i like, I always use the phone. It's not that difficult to get me to call the police.
The policemen jumped out the car with pistols and started shooting the blob. They had called the patrol cars to come too. The scientist asked if that was the blob that they think came from Mars, I said "Yes,"
The blob had now gone from green to blue, to purple, to yellow, to red, to orange and it's still changing colour. As the patrol cars came, so did dad and the man. The man looked up, turned round and ran, forgetting about his 100 pieced monster truck. But as he ran, he didn't make it.
Chapter 6
I didn't mean he got eaten (luckily), but he tripped and a car ran over his leg. There was three patrol cars, three fire engines, two police cars and one ambulance!Taking the ambulance out because that's gone to the hospital with the man. And you wouldn't believe this, there's a big army tank here now and a big crowd!
The blob hardly noticed the shooting, even the cannon ball! but it noticed us. It seemed to have sucked in this air but that wasn't quite true.
It actually sucked me up! It had brought me half way and then stopped. I looked round to check if he had gave up but all I saw was pink. Then I felt something wrap round me. I was too stunned to try and get away but I saw everybody shooting, slapping and hitting the tongue. Finally I moved my head. There right next to me was Jack.
"Jack! How did you get here?" I shouted in suprise.
"This is an embarressment Ben, but I tried to push you out the way but he caught me too!" Jack answered.
We both laughed even though we're in big trouble. I'm now almost certain that we're now doomed.
Chapter 7
As we got dragged inside the mouth, Jack pulled out a butchers knife from his pocket.
"I thought brought this just in case" he said.
He lifted the knife up and forced it through the tongue. What he didn't think of was the blob is like slime and whatever you do to it, the blob doesn't even notice. Well, hardly.
"Well that didn;t work did it?" he asked "By the way, in case you wanted to know, I went to Hunstanton for a day at the seaside"
"So that's why I didn't see you today and when I called for you noone answered" I said.
Suddenly, I slipped out of the tongue and fell. It seemed like we fell for a mile. But we didn't. We still went 50 mtrs though, into a slimey, slippy floor. Well, it wasn't exactly a floor, but it was something to land on.
"Ouch, my head!" Jack said, feeling dizzy.
"W-which park of the blob are we in and I wonder if the others are alright?" I asked.
Jack didn't answer, he just looked up. As I looked up to see what he was looking at, I saw some kind of pipes. I looked at the side of the pipes and realised they were opening up.
Chapter 8
They were intestines, the blobs intestines. They seemed to be opening at the sides. There I saw a gross jaw with teeth 3 inches big and very sharp with blood dripping off them. They seemed to be hanging on slimey necks but they look stronger than schwartneger.
They were sort of purple necks with tentacles sticking out the back. They were making a noise louder than 1000 cockroaches put together!
"W-w-what are they?" Jack asked in a huge amount of fear.
"I-I don't know" I stammered "But what I do know is that they are dangerous"
I turned round and saw more. But this time I saw them on the floor and they were moving on there 16 tentacles very slowly but very smoothly.
"There surrounding us!" Jack shouted. He was right! They were coming from all directions and coming closer. There was no point of jumping because they can jump twice as high and they made 10 other circles surrounding the circle we were in. And twenty circles surrounding them! There was no way out.
Chapter 9
"Wait! I think I have an idea!" I shouted to Jack. (By the way, we've been shouting a lot because of the huge noise they make)
"What's that then?" Jack asked.
"Well, these aren't mini blob monsters you can tell. All they are, are teeth on tentacles" I explained.
"So, in other words, if we use the knife on them then they'll die - of course, so we can escape" Jack said.
He took the words right out of my mouth.
Anyway, Jack pulled the knife out of his pocket, kneeled down, crawled towards then and suddenly - SLASH!!! He cut 5 pairs of jaws off and 80 tentacles in one big swing.
"YYES!!" We shouted. But our joy didn't last very long because as the jaws rolled over the floor two more came out of each neck!
"Try again, maybe it will stop growing then" I suggested. So Jack tried again but just on one of them. But suddenly 4 pairs of came out of each pair so it ended up havin 8 pairs of jaws! If we kept chopping jaws off then we'll be worse off, so what's the point?
Chapter 10
"Just think, this blob started at about the size of the top of a cup. Then it got twice as big, then half the size of a monster truck, then half the size of the room. I thought it had stopped but it obviously didn't" I said.
"Shut up! These little things are at our toes and all of them seemed to have grown 8 pairs of jaws and you talking about the blob!" Jack shouted.
Jack always gets a bit stressed even on the slightest things. Jack has light brown hair, blue-green eyes. He's not too short and he's not too tall and he's not very thin but not very fat.
"Come on! Come on! Think!" Jack chanted "Got it!" He finally shouted.
"What? What?" I asked.
"Well, it's been a bit like hercules hasn't it?" He asked. "So, if we were in hercules, we'd get fire and burn them then they just might die, and so will the blob if you set it alight"
I just hoped it would work, Jack didn't tell me that he had a lighter as well as a knife, but he did. He flicked it twice but nothing happened. He tried again, still not a spark came out. "Oh No!" Jack shouted.
Chapter 11
"Please! Try once more! You know what they say, third time lucky!" I pleaded.
The third time lucky bit was true. As he tried the third time, it flared up. He knelt down again and lit a mini jaw thing. You wont believe how fast the fire spread. They must be extremely flammable. It just flew round the 31 circles - well literally. Suddenly, we felt a huge rumbling sound and then a big stream.
"That must be the blob dying!" Jack shouted. But he was wrong. I though that too but when we both looked up at the same time, we saw the intestine tubey things where the jaws came out. They seem to be turning into blob snakes. We were in trouble because the fire spread and its cornered us.
It was closing in on us and there were blob snakes coming to us from above. What are we supposed to do?
"I have an idea" Jack said. "If the snakes are very long and if they come lower then we can swing away"
"Are you crazy?" I asked.
"Well, what other chance have we got?"
He was right, what else could we do? We might as well try.
Chapter 12
When the snakes got low enough, we stood back and when the snakes weren't looking or they weren't ready to attack, Jack would stick hos thumb up and we would go. So when that happened, we grabbed the snakes necks, lifted out feet off the air and swing. Would it work?
Well as we got half way across the fire we slipped. We forgot that they were blob snakes.
"Oh No!" I shouted. But as we fell on the fire, we didn't seem to burn. When I said "as we fell in the fire" I meant as we thought we fell in the fire. Because we didn't land in the fire. We was in a small part of the fire that hadn't been burnt yet but of course, fire spreads so it was coming closer.
"What are we going to do now?" Jack shouted.
"Get on your hands and knees and start to blow" I answered sarcastically. But to my amazement, that's exactly what Jack did! Well, tried to. But as soon as he grabbed some breath, there was even more trouble about to happen.
The fire turned into a huge fire breathing fire ball. What next?.
Chapter 13
Well, we escsped from the gap in between the fire, but now there's a big fire ball on the loose.
"Hey! we're inside a blob monster aren't we? Well I won't wait for an answer because I know we are, but what about the mouth? We could make a run for it and jump out!" I said after about five minutes silence.
"Isn't it about 80 foot high though?" I asked Jack.
"Yes, but we can slide down in the blob because we found out it's nice and slippy with the snakes."
Without another word, we waited for about three seconds and then we suddenly bombed it. Would the fire ball come after us? I didn't want to know right now. We were about ten meters away from the blobs mouth when suddenly Jack fell over.
"Now's not the time to fall over" I shouted. I know it wasn't his fault but it wasn't much of good luck was it?
Jack got up and we turned round to see if we were safe, but fireballs don't stay in the same spot.
Chapter 14
The fireball was coming right at us blowing smaller fireballs about the size of our fist right at us too. It was getting closer by the second, so we got ready to run another 4 mtrs, there was no time to waste in this situation. Just think (again) first I had to put up with a huge blob in our house, then Jack and I got swallowed by the blob, then there were hundreds of tiny jaws on the 16 tentacles each at us, then a big fire, then blob snakes, and now a fireball breathing fireball!
Anyway, as we got about an inch away from the mouth, I shouted "Jump!" but we couldn't move. We couldn't of been stuck to the ground because we could jump - but only up and down.
"There must be some kind of forcefield or something!" Jack shouted.
"Your quick" I said sarcastically.
Well it was pretty easy to figure out.
We banged and kicked and thumped at this forcefield, but as we tried, we didn't think about the fire thing coming at us until I turned away to try and push with my back because of course, I was looking right at it. It was just about ready to fire, would I die?
Chapter 15
I saw the glowing yellow in the fireballs mouth. I might have been stunned but amazingly, I just dived out of the way and the fireball hit the forcefield, somehow, it turned into water, bounced back, hit the fireball and put the fire out. It had disappeared! The water put the fire out! But of course we're not saved yet. We still got to get rid of this forcefield.
"How are we going to get out?" Jack asked.
"I don't know" I replied. I leant on the forcefield - well where the forcefield was anyway - and fell to the floor.
"Jack, the forcefield, it's gone!" I shouted.
"Oh Right!" Jack shouted with enough joy for 2. "Let's get out of here!"
We got about 5 stops back for a run - and we made a dash for it - We slid on the outside of the blob (the slime) for about 50 metres and then landed.
"Oow" Jack said.
"What a painful ride" I complained. "Hang on a minute, what about the blob?"
Jack didn't answer, he just froze. I tried to pick him up but he wouldn't let me, I spun round. Was it alive?
Chapter 16
"Phew, Jack! We're alright!" I shouted.
The monster had seemed to of turned into slippy rock. It was leaning right over us. If someone was behind it, it would just land straight on top of us.
"Ben, look in front of us" Jack said without even thinking if he was safe or not. I looked and saw all the houses ruined. Not one house was standing. There was no trees, no signs, noone, no nothing.
"W-where is everyone and everything?" I stammered.
"That's why I froze when we landed and I didn't say anything either" He replied more calmly.
I know I would of done that for about five minutes but not when a blob monsters behind you and you don't know if your safe or not!
"Come on, let's find everything or we won't have anywhere to sleep tonight except the floor, It's already eight o clock" I told Jack.
"Maybe it's behind the hard blob monster?" Jack suggested.
"Maybe" I repeated.
So we walked round the blob, pulling faces at it. But when we got all the way, I didn't feel like coming round after all.
Chapter 17
"Y-y-yikes!" I shouted.
"Don't you mean Y-y-yuck!" Jack said
Jack is hardly ever scared, he doesn't pretend he's not scared, he just isn't scared. - By the way, what we saw was something in big tradegy. All there was left of everybody was piles of blood with ribs sticking out!
At least all the trees and houses were there with everything else, but the only remains of everything that was trying to fight the blob was a huge truck. It was just so massive you won't believe it. It had 5 trailers attached, each trailer was at least 34 meters long! Plus, the cab which is about 3 meters long, so that must be at least 173 meters long!
"Let's go in one to see if there is any survivors!" I suggested.
So we got near the back trailer and heard a loud grumbling noise. We pushed the doors open once we got there and saw a huge party table with lots of food on. But eating the food wasn't human - it was skeletons.
"Yikes!" I shouted
"What now?" Jack asked
"Th-th-the skeletons"
Jack doesn't seem to notice.
Chapter 18
"Come on Jack, you've got to see them!" I shouted feeling wary
"I've got to see who? the people? there fine! They weren't dead! There here! Come on, Let's join in!
Jack slapped me on the back and turned to a spare chair. When he slapped me on the back I realised that they weren't skeletons, just my imagination. The skeletons were people, but I've been in so much danger, I kept thinking it's not over yet.
"Jack! Thanks for slapping me on the back!" I shouted.
"Why?" He asked
"Because you cured me from seeing things" I replied.
"Let's go in the other ones, see if our mums and dads are in one and we can ask them what the blood and ribs are!" Jack shouted back.
We said goodbye and they just waved. We had a quick glance in each one (trailer) and one the front of one it said "V.I.P" (Very Important People). We hopped inside and there we saw our mums and dads.
"Mum! Dad!" We both shouted, but when my mum turned round, there was a huge gash on her left cheek.
Chapter 19
"Mum, Your hurt!" I shouted
"No, No, dont be silly, it's next-door neighbours baby, he got a new paint set to play with while we were celebrating that we got rid of the blobby thing." Mum replied.
"Thank God" I said in relief.
But meanwhile... outside...
"Come on lads, I fooled them by pretending I had turned to slippy rock, now there's seven of us, 300 pairs of live jaws each, 30 blob snakes each and three fire-throwing fireballs, we can get to work with the planet. After all, we are indistructable and we can destory a whole country in a couple of weeks each! So to start with, let's ruin this big truck!
THE END
