An Experiment In Story Telling

Update: Heh — boingboing pointed to a contest involving story writing. I entered mine, even though it was written exactly a week before the contest started. In the spirit of the contest, I even threatened to, like, sick a lawyer on ‘em or something.

No response. Wish me luck!

This little story popped into my head. For some reason, it came together as something a junior high school boy might doodle in reading class while bored out of his skull, likely listening to in depth analysis of something exceedingly boring like the John Galt speech in Atlas Shrugged.

Anyway… on to the story:

One day, there was a group of 9 sleek F9 fighter planes flying attack plan 11. As the plan dictated, 2 of said planes had executed phase 9D of the plan and were 74 miles into the run when an enemy plane from sector E3 fired several heat seeking missiles.

At that moment, what appeared to be sheep grazing in sector 5B were actually anti-missile batteries armed with D(evi)8 interceptor warheads placed to support the fight planes.

The mecha-sheep rose up and fired 41 such armed interceptor rockets which, due to their cosmically awesome explosive power, took out 56 of the inbound heat seeking missiles.

Impressive, huh?

While all this was happening, the enemy’s army of mecha-bovine ground skirmish units were warming up in sector C5. 63 of them, to be exact. Unfortunately, during warm-up only 56 proved to be mobile. Though an unfortunate number of downed bovine attack units, there were still 88 explosive patty rockets amongst the remaining forces. Clearly enough to render some awesome destructive power upon their foe.

Ultimately, the final battle was to be had on the rather crucial sector C0. Bloody, it will assuredly be.
