Halloween ‘03  

 

Part Two- Attack of the Super Nerds!

 

            Brendan Roche got up from the table. He had just finished reading War and Peace for the seventh time. What an interesting book it was.

 

            I’m gonna get you…

 

Brendan, heard nothing, his eyes wandering back to the book. “One more time couldn’t hurt…”

 

20 minutes later, he was asleep.

The Boy Wonder groggily rubbed his eyes. Where the heck was he? He looked like he was in some kind of dark, dinghy place. The floor was littered with old Black Sabbath flyers and McDonald’s fries carton. And there in the corner was…

 

“Josh and Omar???!! What are you guys doing here?”

 

Omar glared back at him. “Yeah, like we’re supposed to know. I was just taking a snooze when I get sucked into this shindig. Who’s crib is it anyway?”

 

Brendan scowled like a supermodel. “If you don’t know, then I don’t have a clue either.”

 

Omar mock gasped. “The Boy Wonder doesn’t know something! Oh, help us! The world is coming to an end!”

 

“Why don’t you all shut your pieholes or it’ll be the end for all of ya!” came a gravelly voice.

 

Freddy came out of the shadows. He was quite a gruesome site, all bloodied up and-.

 

“You know, Clean and Clear is quite-” (This came from Joshua.)

 

“Shut up!” Freddy screeched. “Not a word, or I go kill ya all!”

 

“Going to.”

 

“What?!” The now not so scary terror-izer turned to face Brendan.

 

“Going to. ‘Go kill ya all’ isn’t grammatically correct. It just doesn’t sound right. I don’t blame you though, this system hasn’t been around that long, and you’re pretty old, aren’t you. But then again, people can be much younger than they look. Maybe it’s because you don’t use sunscreen? Did you know sunlight causes the most wrinkles and aging signs? There’s even a theory that sunlight makes us age, can you imagine. But then again…”

 

2 hours later

 

“And so, that’s why I think War and Peace is an excellent read. You should read it too. Say, do you happen to have a copy?”

 

Freddy looked at this evil-demon-genius with a look of complete exasperation. Who talks this much? Who even knows this much? Unluckily, his question was about to be answered.

 

Omar was sitting around, twiddling his thumbs. All of a sudden, he noticed the unique weapon that his psycho-kidnapper was holding.

 

“Cool, can I play?”

Before the poor evil-doer could respond, Omar had pulled it out of his grasp.

 

“Hi-chaaa! Hi-chaa!” Omar started hacking up everything in sight.  “You know, this weapon…”

 

3 Hours Later

 

‘So that car is superb, it has great acceleration, and…”

 

4 Hours Later

 

“And so I said, ‘That’s not a man, it’s a horse! Get it?”  Omar started laughing hysterically.

 

Freddy stared at the 3 boys in front of him. He had thought he was bad. But now-

 

“I need to pee.” said Josh.

 

Freddy burst into tears.
