“Hunter” for CLiNT

Hey, another story here. This is your basic Future Shock sci-fi twist story, perfect for CLiNT space oddities. It's only a three page story and admittedly the subject matter may be a bit dodgy but give it a chance, any ways hope you enjoy.

HUNTERS

 

PAGE ONE

 

Panel One: A huge sweaty man sits at a desk surrounded by half empty pizza boxes, crisp packets and other assorted food goods. He bulges out of his clothes as he types away at a computer with a devious smile on his face.

 

GARY

REAL NAME'S GARY BUT ON THE PRINCESS-WORLD FORUMS I'M BETTER KNOWN AS "STAR-GIRL". WAS GONNA GO WITH "STR-GRL" BUT THAT LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE STRUGGLE.

 

Panel Two: a close up shot of the fat man from the waist up. He has a pimply with pubic facial hair sprouting out randomly. He wears round spectacles that give him the look of a sinister scientist, albeit a fat one. His ill-fitting t-shirt is covered in stains from his fast food diet and has the words "It's not fat, it's just more to love" hilariously written on it.

 

GARY

YOU GOTTA THINK ABOUT THESE KINDA THING SEE, 'SPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING HUNTING.

 

Panel Three: An internet chat room. The text reads as so.

 

STAR-GIRL

STAR-GIRL

Panel Four: Frontal view of an innocent little girl with pigtails and big eyes. The most adorable little girl ever conceived basically.

 

GARY

THAT'S WHERE I MET "LIL-PRINCESS". HER REAL NAMES SARAH, MY REAL NAME IS "CHRISTINA" HEHEHE.

 

Panel Five: view of the little girl sat at a desk, her legs dangling from the chair as she types away at her computer. Her room is adorned with flowers and posters of the Hannah Montana like pop stars and kittens and such.

 

GARY

SWEET KID REALLY. SHE LIKES KITTENS AND MUSIC AND SOMEDAY WANTS TO BE AN ASTRONAUT. I HAD TO HAVE HER.

 

PAGE TWO

Panel Two: In the foreground we can see the back of the fat man, he wears a long Mac but we can see naked legs popping out of the bottom. In the background the little girl sits on a bench facing away from the reader looking around.

 

GARY

YOU HAVE TO CAREFUL TRYING TO GET THEM TO MEET YOU SEE. NOT ONLY ARE THEY CAUTIOUS YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE NO OUTSIDERS CATCH ON.

 

Panel Three: Almost a reverse of the previous panel. The Little girl is now in the foreground looking around innocently whilst in the back ground the sinister fat man approaches.

 

GARY

THE CLIMAX CAN BE THE HARDEST. YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE NOT TO GIVE THE GAME AWAY TIL THE LAST SECOND. THE LAST THING YOU NEED IS A CHASE.

 

Panel Four: The fat man now stands opposite the little girl. She looks up to him with wide eyes as he stands with his hands in his pockets.

 

FATMAN

CHRISTINA? SARAH SENT ME TO GET YOU?

 

LITTLE GIRL

OH. I THINK THERES BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING.

 

Panel Five: A frontal view of the little girl. She is smiling. Her eyes have become cat like and in the corners of her mouth we can see little tentacles.

 

LITTLE GIRL

MY NAME ISN'T CHRISTINA OR STAR GIRL. IT'S GARY

 

 

PAGE THREE

 

Panel One: A large Panel. The little girl's mouth is now open past human capacity, as barbed, toothed tentacles fly out and begin to wrap around the fat man's body leg, arms and mouth. He has a desperate look in his eyes as he tries to flee in vain. His Mac is now open to reveal that he is just in his under wear.

 

Panel Two. Close up of the little girl face with the tentacles bringing the fat man's head closer to her mouth.

 

GARY

GETTING EVERYTHING RIGHT ON WHILST HUNTING CAN BE TRICKY, BUT WHEN YOU GET IT RIGHT IT'S WORTH THE EFFORT.

 

Panel Three: In the foreground we see the fat man's spectacles and Mac on the floor, in the background the little girl skips of merrily.

 

GARY

BON APPETIT.

 

 

THE END.
