The Mental Link - Part 1

"Are you sure this will work?"
Jakeob Mixel turned around. "Don't be stupid, Kia, of course, it will!"
"Good. I'm hoping it will," Kia Visoun replied with a sigh.
Yppah Visoun leaned against the wall of Jakeob's lab. "It better work," he threatened, " because I don't want my uncle following our every move anymore!"
Kia glared at him. "Your dad, Ypp- my uncle- follows our every move, and do you see me complaining? No?"
Jakeob swivelled around in his chair. "Uh, guys, please don't start arguing-"
"Well, I'm not the one with an evil sorcerer as a father!" Yppah yelled, taking a step towards Kia.
Jakeob, panicked, started flipping switches on his remote and typing furiously on his laptop.
Kia, furious, jumped towards her cousin.
Jakeob hit a button, and a glass cylinder surrounded Kia.
She proceeded to bang on the glass, which would not break. She charged up a dark chi energy blast and fired. Smoke filled her cylinder. She coughed, but the glass didn't break.
Jakeob turned to Yppah. "Honestly. Why."
Yppah shrugged.
Jakeob rolled his eyes, mumbled "Just like his father.", and pointed to an x on the ground. "Listen up. How this machine works, to make it simple, is that it will make Kia and Luke's mental link smaller and smaller, and then it will shatter, causing Luke to..."
"Back up, back up, back up, back up. Simpler, please. How does it break? And what do you need me for?"
"Ok, I'll try to make it as simple as I can. It will bring Kia and her father's souls closer together, until the power surge causes them to be blown far away, breaking the mental link. The catch is that there is a 50% chance Luke will appear here. I've calculated where, and it's right there." He pointed, more dynamically, to the tape in the x shape on the floor.
Yppah replied,"Oh. So you want me to be in a position that allows me to jump on Luke, or contain him so that he doesn't..."
"Be my dad?" Kia shrugged.
"Yeah!" Yppah smiled.
Jakeob smiled too. "You ready, Kia?"
"Heck yeah, I am!" Kia smiled, throwing a fist in the air.
"OK then," Jakeob said, flipping a switch, "let's do this!"

So about Death's Duty Calls...

I'd suggest reading this before Death's Duty Calls. Hi! Hello. If you don't know this yet I am a real human being, I'm a proud Canadian and I love writing. This play you're about to read, this play right here is mine, and it's based off my interactions with a certain friend. I won't call him out, but he'll know who he is. So yeah. Feel free to use this play. It runs about an hour and a half in length. The word use is fairly basic , but some of the themes addressed in the play are PG13 ( drinking, intimacy, homosexuality and abuse to name a few ). I, the author, suggest a high-school level audience and actors . A lot of the characters have loose looks ( looks that aren't addressed in the play ), and some are set. Here's a list of characters. Whatever is in bold  is said in-play, whatever is not is how I see them and is open to change and interpretation. Anything not mentioned is yours to decide. Jeannine "Jay" Moses - Female, h...

Death's Duty Calls, Act 1- The Prince, Part 2- The Fugitive

Part 2- The Fugitive The forest. The window is gone. There is a small camp set up, with a tent on the left and two logs on the sides of a campfire. Daryn is sitting on the log to the left, warming his hands by the fire. Jay walks in from the right, with a bag over her shoulder. JAY- Dragon’s been fed. You’ve got a fire going, bud? DARYN- Yep. I’m not the best, but she’s burning. JAY- You did great. She sits on the other log and opens the bag, pulling out two pouches of rations and two flasks, filled with water. JAY- Are you vegetarian? DARYN- No. ( pause ) That’s a weird question. JAY- That’s because I’m a strange person. ( She gets a blank stare from Daryn and sighs before continuing. ) There’s some dried meat in the rations. DARYN- Oh. Jay hands him a flask and a bag of rations. There is a tense silence between them as Jay munches on dried berries and Daryn takes a dubious sniff of the water flask. DARYN- Jay? Jay looks at him with a bit of resent. DARYN- ...

Dear Alien chapter 1

1 Dear Alien, If you’re reading this you have taken over me or somehow killed me. Thanks, from the bottom of my heart. This hell that is my life now can’t end. Never ends. And so you have taken out of my misery. And that’s why I thank you… Right now, I’m sitting in Alien Human Experimentation Labs. My pencil is quivering in my hand. I shouldn't be writing with a dislocated shoulder, but I don’t care.  I need to write this. I put down the pencil and roll my sore wrist. How long has it been since I’ve written? It feels like centuries. But my normal life- my life before the aliens- only ended two and a half years ago. So it’s much, much less than centuries . I turn my head to inspect my captor. He was turned with his back to me. Unusual, but I’ll take the window. I pick up my pencil again and return to my letter. I 'm a prisoner, owned by AHE. Your company, your people, your kind. Yeah, you . Thanks to you, I’ve been broken- physically and mentally- more times...
