Open my eyes and check the momentary silence and I am clock. I vomit into the garbage warped back to the ship. I can beside my bed. Was I hand over the helmet to dreaming? Lothaire and his crew. Appollo dark foreign metal. The hand and shrink until I completely releases me and retreats back disappear. I find myself once under the deck and the again in the implosive atrium hatchway closes. A group of before the transport sphere. A simian creatures looking like deep voice comes booming hairy men hunched over with telapathically into my temples: their pirate like cutlasses and Nadir, if you want the helmet laser machine guns surround come and retrieve it. Me. The biggest group, Helmet…right…I had almost started licking my face so I native tounge speck speech slapped its whiskery face and patterns pulling onto warping then it clawed me so I fed it a modem tingling paralysis and week has passed since she piano string and feel flushed came into my office . On into time space glitch gutter Wednesday night I deicide I galaxies. Now falling face up had better go to the warehouse from Indian summer sky wind and see what’s up. Rushing through free strands of dessert…being chased by gotten just a little bit heavier. Giant crawling hand, no option That’s okay I would say to but to run into a bright cave. Myself, I’ll feel better in no time. The hand follows me into the time. I would hack bloody mountain hole. I grab a sword green loogies while walking hanging on the wall aligned down the street and people with other weapons hanging would look at me like a on the cold brown cave wall. Vagrant criminal and I would the hand tries to grab me with my I don’t cautious step at a time. Three headed hydra to giant Algernon uses his cutlass spiders. I stay on board their when foliage gets in out way ship for a week, training. And we continue on the path. I then Lothaire tells me he feel a sense of eagerness and he will send Algernon meshed with complete with me to help find the way serenity. I know I am ready to the monsters cave deep in and want to kill the beast and the forests on planet retrieve the machine. Perhaps sit down and read the deft body turn and I swiftly newspaper in the comfortable shut the door. Eddies traverse chair with a tall lamp behind it, through pocketed airways then flip on the television and replacing a second squeaking find nothing to watch so I go doorknob turn with final ppush; to bed. The next day I wake closing complete. With my up with a stomache full of back to the door I stand before swallowed mucus. I feel sick abundant darkness, silence and drink tea no idea what to into a owerful centaur with a cassette tapes dubbed over demon horns erupting from with stale modem connections. The human skull. It comes inside the reverse globe I walk charging at me and like a on the sky is the ground. My matador I step out of the way hands and feet start spinning and jab the sword into is even though the structure horse back. It grabs the sword my skeleton just can’t let this with his arm and in enraged rotary movement be. Warping brio throws it at algernon, the to desolate alien when I reach its shoulders. Admiring the knight and his the beast makes bubbly horse on its hind legs. The urgling sounds out of the stature begins spinning rapidly base of its neck, blood steadily and then all of the sudden pumping along with bile and explodes outward in raw smoke billowing out. It melts obsidian chunks. No shrapnel onto the dusty ground and hits either me or algernon. Sinks int the hole and the we are okay. We both look equestrian obsidian statue down into the bottomless pit and say lets head out and deliberately deep breathe I stare kill the damned thing. Not so through transparent purple fast the ape man says. First we clouds at the crescent moon must prepare you for what you seemingly smiling for my mhave in store. The lead me victory. What is into the lower deck of the ship happening…is this worth and hook me up to a virtual twenty thousand dollars? I reality fighting simularot. I start to pick up the faint sound fight every monster from a of backward bubbling, of apparents the leader forgotten after all these approached me slowly. He random tumultuous looks at me with cool limpid happenings. I take a step blue eyes and says that his toward the ball of immaculate name is Lothaire and that if energy and feel the pull. I sink the helmet falls into the wrong into the globe like a flushing hands it could mean the end of toilet of negative photographs the universe; he starts giving a and home videos. I am winded speech about the flushed through sopping time. Business and I do the work if frequencies. I realize that I am they offer me enough cash. So physically aging at an today a woman comes in the outrageous rate when I see my office and tells me she needs antiquated skin beginning to my help finding a stolen sag in a mirror that aimlessly machine. Sounds like any meanders by floating through other case to me. But as she the black sky and I grab it and goes on to describe this look at my old wrinkled face O curl up into the fetal position what the hell is she talking thought and he apologizes. We about…? I guess it is some walk on. We reach a clearing sort of radio you wear on your where the light shines gently head and you can sone in on through the canopy and in the people and pick up their center is a ten foot equestrian thoughts or something. Iam twinkling obsidian. In skeptical at first but amazement I stare at this technology has gone venerable piece of work far out there since building I put myself in the week. Also had a hard time necessary mind state. I make relaxing too but didn’t think the tentative right hand-reach too much about it either, for cold midnight metal and although, I would think quite a inserted the key given to me but while lying wide awake at by Apollo with my left hand night, tossing and turning. And made the twise. Click. Every morning I’d wake up with a slow joule exertion and and look in the mirror to see the rusty hinges squeak. A the bags under my eyes had home at night a go through the baby boomer generation my usual routine. Feed the cat gace the go ahead to start without a name, why should I cloning the neo Aryan race. It waste my time thinking of a freaks the shit out of me, who name when it won’t know the government could be doing difference? Then I slip into with this technology. Anyway, my sweats and a t-shiort and so it sounds like a load of make myself some pasta with horse shit until she offers cheese, spinahs and an apple. I Oecumenica. Algernon reigns. I have walk to the warp room and expect. I slowly pass through stand patiently as Lothaire a hallway with my hands pushes some buttons and says extended in caution. I reach good luck. Ectoplasmis dust the end of the corridor and cosmos evaporate as we are open the door. Explosions of transported light years away to yellow/red/white granules the forest I look into the sky flake tidal waves. Floating in and see red clouds that form the venter of the implosive look. Back so I stay home give a rat’s ass what you think and read a book, didn’t reall face…But really I felt awfully feel the need to go into the damned disgusting inside. One office anyway. The rest of the night I came home and the cat week I didn’t think much about wasn’t around the case for Apollo. But then middle of the night he climbed she gives me a call and asks up onto my bed just when I me why I haven’t gone to the had close my eyes and bgin warehouse yet in this accusing to fall into a dreamy state and voice. So I tell her about being stone being pulled to the ball. Puddle at the bottom my being shrinks as I am deep end being pulled toward sucked inside out into a the drain. Through the drain I gaping black vacuum oculus. Am filtered out into an a tingling sensation spreads entropic cosmic calamatiy of thourought my bloodstream sepulchral space. I morph and my eardrums melt to the back into my human form but sound of think boiling flesh my brain seems to be bubbling through rewinding functioning on different pipes and am aeronautically consequence but I stop him in thrown into a liquid planet. A his tracks. I tell him I don’t deep goopy slashing sound care much about any universe as I hit the surface of the and that all I want is my Jupiter colored goo. I start to twenty thousand dollors for sink fast to the core. I am completing my job as getting warmer and warmer Apollo’s emissary for finding and completely out of breath. I the machine. He tells me open my eyes but can see little Apollo is really one of them with its fangs but I dodge sick and that I couldn’t do from its attempt each time. Much besides paper work this I run over to Algernon and week but that I will start her grab his cutlessl he is still case tomorrow. In retrospect I struggling to get out of his still wasn’t completely healthy situation. I run straight up to by the time I got the phone the serpent and cut through its call but I figured I had better body in one slice. It falls on its start on the case anyway. Side and shrinks and permutes my name is nadir nascent. The 20 g’s….o I can’t say no. And I am a private investigator. Even if she is one of them I have an office downtown loonies, she has money. She where I spend most of my hands over half of the money time. A lot of my cases are to start with and I smile. She pretty typical. Lost persons, tells me her name is Apollo stolen possessions, and me the address of a warehouse come to me with illegal on the east side of town. I go center of the palm. The fingers hair. Limbs outstretched mid grow to full length reaching air spinning cannon ball for the stalactites as light cartwheels. Splashing into low extends to the roof of the cave ph pool singing. Hit rock from the fingertips. I pull out bottom and rest hands on chest the sword and the hand as draining tepid yellow acid with a sigh of relief I walk out deterioration of flesh and of the cave. Taking a bones. I am just a flashy mild irritation. I throw the atrium is an energy sphere the weapon to the side. I run size of a bowling ball circled behind the slow beast by overcharged electrons in following me with pugnacious orbital decay clouded with eyes. I climb up the dragons webs of lightning. I take a step back and stab the cutlass forward and my eyes grow through its nape and slide wide, hungry to take in the down his lengthy neck, slicing beautiful light. I lose control it into two. I cut off its wings of my body and tense up like a in her alien form greets me evil creature which is and thanks me. Handing over morphing into a dragon, all the second payment of 10 in the while its eyeballs focused grand. I tell them I was happy in on my own. Each being to help and would be pleased believing he is destined to be to help in any future the victor of this bout. I grab adventures. They warp me dragon in the neck. It back to my bed sick tossing petulantly turns its head at this and warps Algernon up real should have warned me about nicely. As he struggles to cut what I was getting into…I his way out of the sticky mess can’t walk into this with my I pull the spider off of my confidence completely shot. I head. It lands on the ground stop. Take a deep breath. And crawls back into its hole Algernon tells me he thinks I and out comes the upper body have trained plenty and am of a snake. It tries to bite me beast. I tell him that’s what I blade taering clear through his that is now where the stature flank killing him. With once stood proudly. An Algernon dead my own will to arachnid sneaks out of the survive and the need to hole and up my calf and under rightfully avenge Algernon’s my clothes up to my crown. It death cecome enflamed. I hebings to grow wrapping its must kill this wretched beast legs around my entire skull and get the telepathy machine.l With great enmity. It shoots a I make eye contact with the giant web out of some orifice try it out and see how good it squeeze me into dust but I is. I express my feelings to lunge away. I lift the sword Algernon he just brusquely high and as the hand tries to says not to get to cocksure. I feel grab me again I cut the four somewhat defeated at this but fingers off. They writhe like don’t worry too much until a shriveling worm dissolving couple minutes later he tells into the ground. The fingers me the monster can take on begin to regenerate so I shove any form. Holy crap. They the sword right through the through the opaque goop. (Simian Aliens) and that she suddenly I am grabbed around was sent as a human to get me the waist being saved from to help with this job. I ask him drowning by a mechanical why they could not just find it hand rushing towards the themselves and he says the surface. I take a deep breath monster guarding has a as I am plunged bback into the weakness against humans. I fresh air and placed aboard a don’treally feel satisfied with grand ship made of shiny the answer but I nod my head. What looks like a rabbit smoking a reforms. The helmet is cigar. Algernon asks if I am suddenly dropped into my ready to move on. I slowly hands out of the thin air. I decide look down from the clouds had better not wear it yet since and into his humane eyes. I don’t know how to use it. I yeah I say in a soft voice click my radio watch and send nodding my head….I am. We the message to Lothaire that I walk deep into the entabngled have defeated the beast but trees dutifully taking one Algernon was murdered.
 
i am confused by your english skills... you seem to have an excellent vocab... its as if the foreign or ESL tone is intentional... or is it a transcription from one of those "lets write a story one word at a time" type threads?
 
esoteric literature is my spe-shi-al-i-ty

I really loved your story. I especially liked the words you chose and the grammatical parsing. The short sentences and oddly placed pronouns had a definite feel of innocent manliness to them, almost like a Kilgore Trout 'novel'.

Funny, thought-provoking, perplexing, wonderful. In japanese we have a word for this: sugoi. It describes your little story wonderfully :D
