The Adventures of Chet Chesterfield: Episode 6 - Doctor Monocle's Revenge!

I wrote this as a comic script for Derek. It was a challenge because he asked for two pages and to make it kid friendly.

Also, I don't know if there's going to be a short story next month. I sort of accidentally started writing a novel I didn't know I had in me. Before I knew it I had a hundred pages of it. I'm trying to focus on that because it's coming so easily, but I'll try to get a short story done.

PAGE ONE:

Panel one: LOGO: The Adventures of Chet Chesterfield: Episode 6 - Doctor Monocle's Revenge!

Panel two:

TEXT
Last time in the exciting Adventures of Chet Chesterfield:
Our hero, the intrepid explorer and treasure hunter CHET CHESTERFIELD
and his trusty friend and sidekick JIMMY MAGILLACUTTY, were traveling
to the cursed peak of MONOCLE MOUNTAIN in search of the fabled
TREASURE of the CAT'S EYE DIAMOND, when they were attacked by
the undead, brought to life by the evil DR. MONOCLE, using his
patented ZOMBIE RAY.

Panel three:

Jimmy and Chet are punching out zombies:

JIMMY
How do we stop 'em, Chet?

Panel four:

Again, Jimmy and Chet are punching out zombies, heading further up the mountain.

CHET
I don't know, Jimmy. But we better figure it out quick!

Panel five:

There's an observatory at the top of the mountain. Rays are coming out of the telescope looking thing at the top.

CHET
Look, up there! It looks like an observatory. I bet that mysterious ray
is behind all of this.

Panel six:

Jimmy and Chet run up the mountain, toward the observatory.

PAGE TWO:

Panel one:

Jimmy and Chet are outside the observatory:

JIMMY
Look, Chet! A door!

CHET
Let's go Jimmy!

Panel Two:

Jimmy and Chet are just inside the door of a laboratory.

JIMMY
Oh no, Chet, it's...

CHET
DR. MONOCLE!

Panel Three:

CLOSE ON: Dr. Monocle

DR. MONOCLE
Yes. It's me! And you won't foil my plot to get the Cat's Eye again!

CHET (he's off panel)
That's what you think!

DR. MONOCLE
That's what you think!

Panel Four:

CLOSE ON: Dr. Monocle's gloved hand, pulling a lever.

SOUND
KRICK!

Panel Five:

A steel cage has dropped over Jimmy and Chet! Dr. Monocle is tilted back in insidious laughter!

JIMMY
How are we gonna get out of this one, Chet?

CHET
I don't know Jimmy. I don't know.

DR. MONOCLE
Mwa-hahahahaha!

Panel Six:

Be sure to come back next time for the next thrilling installment of:

The Way It Is

            The whistle signaling quitting time was always his favorite time.  It was the high water mark for the rest of the day, representing that first moment of freedom matched with the highest level of energy he’d have for the rest of the night.  He turned his dirty earth-moving machine off, ceasing the rumble in his seat and in the engine.  Quietly, he pulled the earplugs from his ears, and collected his gloves and cooler.  The cooler held remnants of his lunch which had consisted of two ham and cheese sandwiches, a dill pickle, a bag of chips, and an apple.             Each step back to his truck, parked four blocks away, ached down into his core.  Shifting his weight right, he could feel the burn on his ankle and knee.  Shifting his weight left provided the same effect on the other side.         ...

The Scoop

So, I've decided to save the below "About Me" in amber, trapped in time, as it were and sort of start over from scratch since the mission of the site is a little different now. I'm making a go of earning money for all of my writing. I'm working to convert my body of work here into something that will provide me some means of income that will justify how much time I spend writing in a day. I would really appreciate if you'd consider buying some of my stories and spreading the word. So, enjoy the slightly outdated bio about myself below, I'll start a new one up in its entirety soon. 03/2010 Me, circa February 2009. I'm posting short stories up on this blog. At least once a month I'll do so. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I used to write short stories quite often, but my prose petered out after I became a screenwriter. This is my way of relearning prose. If I didn't publish it here I probably wouldn't publish it anywhere. If I didn't p...

The Hope of Humanity

This is but a sample of this story.  The complete version is available in my print collection  Man Against the Future.   From there, you can order signed copies, or buy it for the Kindle or the Nook. The year was 2081 and so many of the social problems humans had faced over the last hundred years were still a pretty big problem. Most people were still poor, corporations still ran the government, and politicians were constantly caught with prostitutes of both sexes, living and dead. When politicians weren't blowing each other's personal lives completely out of proportion for political gain, they were starting wars with other countries. Sometimes, they would even start wars with people inside their own country, but those were usually ideological. Perhaps the biggest and worst change was that the polar ice caps had melted and much of the Mojave Desert was now prime beachfront property, and the air across the globe tasted like you were sucking on a tailpipe. As pressi...
