[Summer Contest Entry 2012] Danny Choo and the Mind Rapist

It was the mid-day of summer, the sun was scorching hot and the very earth was steaming like an iron pan. On the trail of the shoreline, a man can be seen, walking sluggishly below the wrathful sun. He was wearing only a straw hat to protect himself from getting a heat stroke. Hs name is “Danny Choo” the founder of “Culture Japan” and a great friend of Jacob- the creator of Fakku. He was planning to just take a short break from work to relax his mind. when fate took a turn and he lost his sense of direction. Now he was lost on the beach and he is trying to find some shade.

For a few pathetic minutes, he travelled in forlorn until when finally, he saw something fascinating. It was a bunch of giant boulders, weathered nicely and was sculptured by the wave to form thousands of caverns in all sizes, all cold and totally fit to his needs. The cold smooth rocks felt like ice and the sounds of the crushing waves was an anodyne for the soul. Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw a very peculiar rock.

It was a very strange piece of rock that he has never seen before. So like what any other human would do, he inspected it. He look at it, listened to it, he smelled it, he tasted it, he touched it, he rubbed it, he fondeled it. Then when his curiosity was finally satisfied, he did exactly what any other human would do- He unzipped his fly then peed on it while whistling blissfully

Then he jumped out of his skin when the rock started to move and he realized, it was not a rock at all, but a man!

“My its rare for someone to visit me,” the man greeted Danny with a welcoming smile. Totally unsuspicious of what miracle has happened

“I just happened to pass by” Jacob replied, His pants now wet from the emergency zipping that he did. Soon he will start to smell

“I see…” the man sighed “Say, what exactly were you doing behind my back>”

Of course Danny flustered and rather than answering, he changed the subject by asking: “How bout you, what are you doing there on the shore?”

“Nothing” the man answered

“The tides coming in, you better move on to higher ground”
“I cant”

“Why?”

“Im too busy”

“How exactly can you be busy when you have nothing to do?” Danny was confused by the man refusal

“No, you got it wrong,” the man corrected “Doing nothing is different from nothing to do”

“I don’t get it”
The man shook his head slowly “I don’t blame you, your still too young”. Then the man pointed his finger into the vast sea water “Tell me, what do you see there?”

Danny did as he was told and he stared into the empty blue expanse of the calm ocean and further into the horizon. “Nothing”

The man then pointed his finger above “Now look there, what do you see?”

Jacob stared into the sky. For it was summer, there was not even a single cloud in the sky. Just blue and further shades of blue and the unbearable flare of the sun. “Nothing”

“What you are seeing are my works. I am creating nothing”

“Amazing” Danny gasped so entranced, he was lost in thoughts. ”Wait, if you are creating nothing, then how do you know that you “did” created something?”

“When I did something, it means that I am no longer creating nothing”

“But how could you ever see your works?”

“It depends on your definition of “vision” the man replied

“Wow” Danny gasped once again in supreme wonderment “You have done so much already?”

“You have a good perception” the man smiled as if holding a laugh :Everyday, I work my bones off to provide enough “nothing” for the community”

Jacob was too overwhelmed with the wisdom that is being granted to him. Unworthy as he was for the profound wisdom, he was still accepted in open arms. Unable to say anything he realized then. “God created something out of nothing but you…”

“Indeed, I am a higher being for I am the one responsible for his very existence”

Unworthy as he was, he could have watched the man all day and learn the art of doing nothing. However, his reminiscence was cut short when a sudden “BOOM” shook the very ground from which he stands.

“What is that?!” Danny exploded

Another blast of an ear rendering explosion stunned Danny’s very being. Making him wet his pants again.

“I better check it out”

Just when Danny was about to leave, the man halted him in his tracts by saying “Do you ever get tired of doing something?

“No, how bout you? Ever get tired of doing nothing?”

“As a matter of fact, im already sick of it.”

“Then why not do something?”

“Even if I can, I shouldn’t.”

“Why?”

“Because the world relies on me. If I did not provide enough “nothing”, Brave men will fear “something” and children will never be allowed in the dark anymore, for there will be “something” in there.”

Danny was flabbergast from the mans world changing wisdom. He straightened up his posture and bowed to him. “Goodbye, Master”



Drunken in fire, the earth was scorched in a laughing inferno. The screams of innocent agony sung with the dramaticstage of death and Pandemonuim. Flesh and bones, limbs and whole, burned or not, living and dead, they stained the helix of the land in a grotesque spiral. Their muddled images seemed ashen in the blighted world.

No time for explanations and reasons, Danny kept his legs sprinting faster than his racing heart. Forgettimg whatever it was he was stepping on. Praying that his guess is wrong.

Unfortunately, it wasn't.

There, in the near horizon. Flashes and slashes ornamented the blue sky in a dazzling radiance. Mirai Suenagea was on her Space Marine Uniform, with her combat wings on to keep her in flight and readily armed with her “Millennium Sword”, she slashed mercilessly against her opponent who was equally or even more powerful than her.

Red feathery wings of burning gold and crimson fire bloomed delightly behind her back. Her lenient goddess physique was armored nicely in a well embroidered seem of unimaginable treasures of ruby, emeralds and bewildering gold and silver plating. She was exactly like a burning eagle. Her vermillion hair tied in a pigtail that will never be damaged by the conflagrate that she kept as a fiery assault against Mirai Suenaga. Danny cannot believe his eyes when he realized who it was that Mirai was fighting

“Momoka? Danny’s jaw dropped and he broke in a cold swear. The his hair jumped in reprived when a heavy hand landed on his shoulder. He turned and saw a man in a horse mask. It was Jacob, the founder of a hentai doujin site called “Fakku”

“Hey” Jacob said

“what happened here!”

“Oh nothing” Jason replied “Momoka and Mirai just went to take the “Weeping Urinals of Doom” challenge when their talks became a catfight. Nothing special, really”

“Nothing special?!” Danny bursted. Pointing his fingers at the apocalypse.

“Aside from Momokas phoenix outfit that some guy designed for her, I don’t think that anything is worth mentioning.” Behind Jacobs back, a massive detonation of a demonic fire blasted and formed a giant mushroom cloud.

Danny was so angry he turned white. But he was brought back to reality when his phone beeped in a very peculiar music.

“Hey, that’s some weird ringtone you got” Jacob remarked

“Its no ringtone” Danny whispered. His voice was broken in fear“ This is a warning that Mirai was about to use the “Repent””

“Repaint?”

“It’s a space weapon designed for…” Danny stopped there, there is no more time left “This is bad, really really bad. We need to get to the space station, FAST!”

“How fast?”

Danny slumped into the ground and covered his head in a fetal position. A sign that he has lost all hope “Its impossible, we are now dead.”

“tsk, tsk, tsk” Jacob shook his head, insulting Danny’s weak heart “Dany, Danny, Danny. One of the greatest mistake that you could ever do is to underestimate the power of Fakkuzans”

“What can you do! You cannot just go to the Space Station”

“Why take the Fakku Mobile, ofcourse”

“What Fakku Mobile?”

Jacob pulled out a gun and stopped a passing car by yelling “GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR YOU SON OF A BITCH!”

The driver immediately came out with hands in the air. But Jacod didn’t stop “Now get into the fucking trunk!”

“I don’t wanna die”

“I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die~” Jacob sang iretated “I said GET INTO THE FUCKING TRUNK!”

Danny didn’t bother to intervene, he just buried his face in his palm. “Fakkuzan’s are insane”
