The GhostMan - Part 3

CHAPTER 4: JOINING

Dr Sango sat there his eyesight returning, he looked around the lab, damage didn't seem too bad. He did a physical check on all systems and was happy enough. He went to find his cigarettes and smoked one after the other and got himself another bottle of whiskey. “Joining completed” the ladies voice said. “WHAT” shouted Dr Sango “joining of what?” he said to himself confused. He asked for another status report, all was fine. What could this joining be It wasn't in the program, the project. He ran around the lab looking and couldn't work it out. What was going on he didn't know, all was well with all the machines. “Clone Three released, genetic material disposed of” said the ladies voice again as the Dr put his hands on his head not knowing what was happening. He threw his empty whiskey bottle at the main console smashing the screen, anger boiling up from within. If clone three is released and the genetic material destroyed that would mean danger for Ghostworld and the project and all the cloning evidence gone and that part of the project would have to be re done. He paced around the lab thinking and checking meters, settings and screens. He said quietly “Joining status and description” and the ladies voice replied “Joining complete and successful, the joining is the planes of Ghostworld coming together to make one” the doctor looked surprised. “That swine he's done this secretly behind my back, he must have!” said the doctor in anger. “Alert Alert, red plane oversteer, Alert Alert Clone Three lost” Said the ladies voice. “Sugar what the hell does that mean” the doctor shouted to himself. Too much whiskey in his body and confusing all around the doctor left the lab stumbling and drove home.

I was feeling tired and very confused, I went to sleep on the sofa. I had dreams and nightmares like me holding my my wife's hand walking and of her lying there in a pile of blood, I couldn't remember her name. I slept and slept and slept.

I was feeling tired so I put the TV on and watched a film called Ghosts On Mars which was pretty good. In the breaks I made a nice cup of tea and found some biscuits in the cupboard. Eventually I drifted off to sleep on the sofa, I slept and slept and slept. I woke up suddenly to very load music, I jumped out of my skin. Something was laid on me, “ARGH” I screamed, it was Ghostman laid on me.

I woke up to someone shouting and load music, I must have left the TV on. I looked up and it was Otherme, I was laid on him, I don't like men I like ladies with big boobs I thought to myself, I quickly moved away.

He moved to the other end of the sofa, I put the TV off. “Hello Otherme” Ghostman said half asleep still. “Hello Ghostman”, I replied quietly. “You going to vanish again Otherme” he asked me. “are you?” I replied back “but you keep disappearing Otherme” he sat up. “No you keep disappearing Ghostman” I didn't know what to think, “No you keep disappearing Otherme” I couldn't think what else to say. It went on like this for a while until I broke down.

I collapsed on the floor hunched down crying, shouting and screaming.

I was upset, Otherme was hunched down on the floor crying, shouting and screaming. It was my fault I knew, I didn't no what to do so I went into the kitchen and made Otherme a cup of coffee. I brought the coffee through to the living room but Otherme suddenly jumped up and knocked it out of my hand.

I leapt up in a frenzy and knocked something out of Ghostman's hand, I didn't know what it was. I stood there, he looked at me, I looked at him. He picked up what I knocked out of his hand, It was a cup. He walked back to the kitchen and came back with another cup, It was coffee. “am sorry Otherme” he said as he handed me the cup. I sat down on the sofa “am sorry Ghostman, Am so sorry” I said softly to him. Ghostman went back into the kitchen and I looked around. The flat was clean, I realised the TV was working, I just turned it off, nothing was broken or damaged. I got up and tried the doors and windows, they were still stuck. I sat down again and Ghostman came in with a cup of tea and some biscuits, he sat next to me. We talked for a long time like best friends and this was how it was for weeks, we had fun and got to know each other. I still had no way out my flat to the real world and I learnt that Ghostman looked like me but was not me at all. Things were better and I was happier then I had been since my wife died.

CHAPTER 5: REVELATIONS

I sat alone on a red plain nothing could be seen in the distance. I new who I was, I was a clone of that pathetic man that drank lots of coffee. He was best friends with that Dr fellow who was sleeping with his wife Helen. Such a stupid man, he killed his wife then killed himself all right in front of me while I was stuck in that Bio Dome thing they kept me in. Coffee drinker was project leader, but it was the Dr that pulled the strings. They cloned three of us at the same time. Clone one failed and didn't grow right they chopped him up and disposed of the remains, clone two they felt was a bit slow they chopped him up after a scuffle with him when The Dr told him to do disgusting things to him. Me, well something went wrong in the lab I know that much and here I am now stuck on this red landscape with not a sign of anyone or anything. The Dr planned to make a gateway into Ghostworld, a way to contact the dead as well as the ultra fast cloning plan. Such studies are illegal but the Dr was prepared to risk all. Their Ghostworld was limited as it was only an area in the lab designed like a flat they were focusing on, I never saw anything in it. Now I thought to myself maybe am in there now, yes I know this red plain isn't like a flat but maybe it doesn't if your in Ghostworld.

I decided to walk and walk and walk. I didn't see anything for such a long time, But then in the distance something was coming my way, I waited. It was a gorgeous lady, dressed in black and red. She blended into the landscape, unnervingly I walked to meet her. “Do you wish to return to life?” she asked me in a slow seductive manner. “where I am?” I replied. “You are in the otherworld, now! Do you wish to return to life?” she asked once more. “otherworld what is this place?” I asked polity, bad mistake. She held out her arm and with some unseen power lifted me in the air and repeated her question, “do you wish to return to life?” I nodded and squeezed out a yes. “follow your heart and you will find the way out, good luck to you my friend” she said then vanished. “OK ill follow my heart” I whispered to myself, still in shock. Did I even have a heart, I didn't know, I was a clone of a fool.

Dr Sango got out of bed and there was a knock at the door. He ran downstairs to let her in, he new it would be his girlfriend, it wasn't. The Dr had opened the door to be held at gunpoint by a pretty girl wearing black. “get in the house and put your hands up Dr” she said sweetly. The Dr did just that as he reached for his laser pistol, it wasn't there. “looking for this?” the girl said as she waved it in the air then pointed it at him. The Dr just smiled and put his hands up, what else could he do. The Dr stepped back slowly then turned and made a run for it, straight into another women who kicked him in the balls and pointed another gun at him. The Dr smiled again, feeling the gun digging into his back from the pretty girl. “Alpha do you have the sedative?” the pretty girl said in a sweet accent. “right here Mega” she replied as she took it from her pocket and stabbed Dr Sango as fast as lightning. The Dr slumped to the floor. Alpha and mega searched Dr Sango's house and accessed his PC. On the PC were many images of children, some without clothes been made to do the most disgusting of things. “T hats all the evidence we need Mega” said Alpha with a sad expression. “Lets get this done” replied Mega Sombrely. They lay Dr Sango on the table. Alpha got her laptop out and an extra screen and a camera which looked very technical. Mega got out a strange looking blue object which looked like a gun on a moving pivoting stand. Alpha connected a very thin tube into the camera while mega aligned the gun thing so it was pointing at Dr Sango's head. “ready?” asked Alpha, “ready to go” replied mega softly. Alpha powered up the camera and laptop and put in the passwords that were required. Mega pressed a button on the gun thing and a very small needle came out which was gold and silver. Alpha typed into the laptop and the extra screen came on with what looked to be the inside of a skull, Dr Sango's skull. “all data transferred and correct, commencing drilling” said Mega with a nervy sweet voice, Alpha nodded. A whirling sound started then a small rough scraping sound as the needle began drilling into Dr Sango's skull. Mega pressed a button on the gun and the needle shot out, Alpha then connected the very thin tube onto the needle. Mega pressed another button and the needle went back into the Dr s skull. The gun thing then moved on its pivot but carried on and on slowly, as the operation could clearly be seen on the extra screen. A squishy sound was heard then the drilling stopped. “Executing thought analysis program” said Alpha as she typed commands on the laptop. Mega stepped back as Alpha moved away from the laptop too. “cigarette time I think” said Alpha as she sat down on a chair. “not for me, ye know I got Asthma” Mega said and moved towards the kitchen. Many hours past then the experiment was complete, the drill come out and everything was packed away and they moved DR Sango's body to the Drs computer chair. “That's a job well done” said Alpha smiling, “yes it went well this time” replied Mega. “All the doctors knowledge we have now and am sure it will be very useful” said Alpha still smiling, “can you do the rest while I have another cigarette?” she asked Mega, “no problem I wont be long”, Mega got up and walked to the Dr s body and took out the Drs laser pistol and placed it in his hand. She then lifted his hand up and pulled the doctors finger to the fire trigger and pulled. She let go of the Drs hand and let the pistol drop on the floor.

CHAPTER 6 : BREAKNG NEWS

We had music on and I danced while Ghostman did some hilarious moves. I hadn't danced since I was a kid, I remember that my wife didn't like it. Ghostman put his hands in the air jumped up, put his hands on his hips and spun around, followed by two claps and wiggled his bum. I was in stitches with laughter. We listened to lots of different music like Lady GooGoo's Sad Romance and Poker Race as well as top hits like Tiffany's I Think Were A Bone, Eltin Johns Candle in the Tunnel, the Weatles Hey Boo! As well as some metal like IronMaidens Bring Your Daughter To My Room, Somewhere In Grime, and Number Of The Crisps. One of my favourite's was by BunsNroses which had the lyrics “your ducking crazy” it made me laugh and that song SweetPileOfSlime was really good. Ghostman loved BonBovi's Lay Your Bone on me and Lazytowns Bing Bang Bum. We had a fab time and had such a laugh, all the time drinking some Tosters Lager and Jack Spaniels whiskey which we found under my bed hidden. After some hours we were very drunk and collapsed on the sofa. Ghostman made me a strong cup of coffee and he got a tea, I put the TV on. There wasn't much on so I put the news channel on. It appears there has been a huge earthquake in Wales with several people killed and up to ten thousand sheep hurt. The English government is sending three million worth of aid to them as well as specialist veterinary help. Then there was some other news. “BREAKING NEWS! A famous scientist named Dr Sango has been found dead at his home. Initial reports suggest suicide. Several images and videos was found on the Drs PC of children and it is believed that that is highly likely to be the reason of his suicide.” the female news reader said in an almost man's voice. “Otherme cant we have anything else on, this is boring” wined Ghostman. I flicked the channels but couldn't find anything so I went back to the news. “The war in Iran is going to plan as the allies look to remove the nuclear and the terrorist threat posed by the country. Several UK servicemen have been killed in the war as suicide bombers posed as civilians were let through to the sleeping quarters of then main army, an investigation is under-way” the news reader went on, and on. “Am going to run a bath” Ghostman said as he stomped off, I shrugged. “BREAKING NEWS! The scientist who was found dead earlier today, Dr Sango, who it is alleged committed suicide due to illegal pictures of children has had his Lab investigated only minutes ago. Inside were found cloning evidence on a big scale. Cloning of humans is illegal through the world. The special investigation team found several cloned girls and boys, many only five years old, some who clearly had been abused. The special investigation team now have a clear moral decision to make with regard to the cloned children.” The news reader carried on. I watched the news until I fell asleep, Ghostman fell asleep in the bath.
