Story; The Paraelix Configuration

Callum was not extraordinary in appearance or physique. Nor was he particularly gifted intellectually, musically or imaginatively. In fact, nothing about Callum stood out at all, except his purpose. As he waded through the crowds of shoppers, laden down with plastic bags and children, he caught sight of the suits that had begun pursuit. He did not know if he'd been identified by a camera or security guard, but it didn't matter now. All that was on his mind was escape. The suits would be armed, and probably would show no quarter, especially if they'd been briefed on his file. He had to escape. He rounded the corner and the escalators came into sight. A mechanical glory that would soon deliver him to the exit, assuming he got there first. Callum quickened his pace, darting around a family of 6, and narrowly avoided an old couple who seemed to have no idea of where they were going. Then he heard the cries of suprise, and realised the suits were not far behind. A few more quick steps and he was onto the escalator, trying to push his way through the bustle of shoppers. "Freeze!" For a brief instant all Callum could do was smile as he heard them shout. Surely they could come up with something more original, he thought. Callum reached into his pocket, not an unordinary action for anyone at a shopping centre, only he was reaching for his keys. In fact, it was no common item that emerged in his hand. There was no phone, no wallet, not even loose change in his hand when it emerged from his jacket pocket. The item in question looked more akin to a remote one might use to change channel on a television, or to turn up the volume on a stereo. Callum raised the device to eye level, and spun 180 degrees to face his attackers. Suddenly his intentions became clear to the suits that pursued him. Their speed increased as they desperately tried to intercept him and the device he carried. Despite the speed at which the suits moved, there was no time to prevent Callum activating the item he held. A flash of green light engulfed him, and he was gone. The light disappeared instantly, but the intensity of the light left afterimages in the eyes of all nearby. All that was left was a faint odour of sulphur. Afterall, Callum was not extraordinary in any way, shape or form... Except his purpose. Tristan ;-)

  • Amazing job Tristan, I especially like how you've set it in a real life situation and you've built it up into an amazingly intricate Story, do you have any plans for continuing it? [Edited on 06.16.2008 4:04 AM PDT]
