The First Sightings

On a brisk Saturday afternoon, October 20th, a boy out bike
riding along the coastline of Felixstowe, England looked up
and spotted several gleaming gold discs hovering above
the North Sea. He described them as “a collection of
bright round coins, blue squares in the center of each. The
craft hovered near the coastline for several minutes, eventually disappearing beneath the surface of the sea.”

The boy had actually shot video of this extraordinary event with
his cell phone, instantly uploading it to YouTube. The BBC was
quick to air this spectacle on the News at 6, their benumbed viewers at first struggling to hide their utter bemusement at what
was unfolding before their eyes. But what of Van Mantra? He
had not been heard from in days.

As the sightings grew in number, people feverishly prepared for October 28th. Armed with flashlights, blow horns, guns, and trusty pets, those who heeded the pleas of Van Mantra seemed
prepared for the ensuing battle between Mantra and Mezin.

    I don’t know what to say. On a note of severe seriousness, I didn’t know how to continue this. The last thing i had for this story were the riots from Mantras VS. Mezin, and I wrote these last 2 today to get it of my chest. Thanks for throwing me back on the trail.

    If you don’t mind (I’m sure you won’t), I would like to continue on this branch. And feel free to write more sequels to come.

    Richard – just keep on writing. Let one thought lead to the next and keep it going. Who cares if it’s any good or not. If you’re really into this story line, and it looks like you are & others are too – one good way to give yourself some discipline is to get a timer, set it for 30 minutes, and write nonstop straight for that 30 minutes. The editing can come later. Keep it going. I want to see what happens.
