Henchman #2
Right. Looks like we do
this the old fashioned way.
Henchman #4
Kick the crap out of
him?
Henchman #2
That’s it.
The
Henchmen proceed to circle Grenademan.
GRENADEMAN
HAHA! NOW YOU SHALL FACE
THE WRATH OF THE MIGHTY –(interrupted)
The
henchmen begin to clobber him and then stop.
Henchman #2
What was that?
GRENADEMAN
THE MIGHTY FISTS OF –oof
(interrupted again)
The
henchmen begin to clobber him again.
Henchman #1
The mighty fists of oof?
So is that your name? The Mighty Oof….funny, swap a letter there
and I get oaf.
Henchman #3
Hey, his grenades tinkle
when I kick him…it makes kind of a musical sound.
Henchman #4
Say you’re right-it
does.
GRENADEMAN
OW!
Henchman #2
He’s even loud when he
screams in pain.

Henchman #3
Yeah? You remember that
job we did for Deathroach? Captain Potato showed up, we must have
unloaded at least what?

Half a dozen bullets
into him and (interrupted)
Henchman #1
Whatever.
Henchman

forehead, cocks it one more time.
Henchman #1

(interrupted)
The
grenade explodes behind him, a blinding flare goes off. The shot goes
wild.
GRENADEMAN

FORCES OF GOOD TRIUMPH OVER THE FORCES OF EVIL!

Update and Forever West
The first few chapters of Forever West are now available online.
I am ill today so not sure how much writing I'll get done. The story a week thing isn't going to work. It's too much too fast, and even though I've got some neat tricks, I believe the cycle will require 8 business days with a story being edited, a story being planned, and a story being written. Planning the short story out in advance makes a titanic difference. I divide it into five parts, now thinking four, and add to them in the story so I know where the story is going before I even start writing the second part, I know where I'm writing TO.
I'm at 4000 words on "Making Hitler"
2000 words on "Becoming a Demon"
The story being preplanned is "Rash Decision" where a father uses gene theraphy on his children to make them less 'wimpy' with predictable results. Will likely be short, but I love the premise to the point I'm going to write it.
Weekends are going to be for scripts, and assuming I'm still not disastrously ill, I'll be starting this weekend.

GRENADEMAN
HMM…UPON EXAMINATION
OF THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS, IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE LITTLE OR NO
DEFENSES. A SIMPLE DIRECT ASSAULT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT.
Five
security guards open the door to one of the buildings next to the
fence. They don’t look happy.
Henchman #1
Hello there. What’s
this?
Henchman #2
Seems to be some kind of
super hero.
Henchman #1
Super hero eh? Looks
more like Tack man.
Henchman #3
I’ve got a bulletin.
Henchman #4
News flash, there’s a
guy with a thumbtack on his head that’s about to get the crap
beaten out of him.
GRENADEMAN
FEAR OH FORCES OF EVIL!
WOE UNTO YOU AS I LIFT THIS MIGHTY HAND GRENADE INTO THE AIR
Henchman #1
Woe be unto you as I
take my Glock 22 and lift it into the air and cock it like so.
GRENADEMAN
AND TOSS IT AT THE
FORCES OF EVIL
Henchman #2
Wait a minute, aren’t
these guys usually bullet proof?

GRENADEMAN
YES INDEED CITIZENS, I
AM MAKING MY ESCAPE FROM THIS LAIR OF MENTAL HEALTH, OFF AND YONDER
TO STOP THE INSIDIOUS CHICKENMASTER AND HIS FOUL MINIONS FROM
DESTROYING ALL WE HOLD DEAR.
SECURITY GOON #1
Someone’s gotta turn
the volume down on this guy.
SECURITY GOON #3
Maybe we can get him to
take some valium. Hey, where’s he going!
GRENADEMAN
TALLYHO!
Grenademan
tosses an explosive grenade that blows off the bars on one of the
windows. He leaps out of it.
SECURITY GOON #2
I really don’t want to
write the report up on this one, do you?
SECURITY GOON #1
Nope-but we already
called the cops. You going after him?
SECURITY GOON #2
No way.
The
doors in the hallway begin to open. The inmates look at the hole in
the barred window. Dozens of them begin to run for the hole in the
wall. The Security goons panic and run away.
EXT.
KENSINGTON RESEARCH FACILITY - NIGHT
Grenademan
drives up on a motorcycle.
