Ant's An Author: Invasion of the Brain Beast

I’ve know that Ant’s been working on a story for the past two weeks, but beyond that, I knew little. The boys (K was supervising and helping when Ant got stuck) kept the story line close to their chest. It was a surprise, especially for me.

Then, I received an email this afternoon, during lunch time. I laughed so hard I snorted Dr. Pepper through my nose, and then promptly emailed it to all of my co-workers. 

The email said:

Here you go.

That was Ant’s voice in writing right there.

Any similarities between any fictional characters or Brain Beasts to that of real life people or Brain Beasts is merely coincidental.

And that was certainly K.

The following story was attached to the email, proudly (yet slowly) typed out by Ant in Word, after writing and editing a first draft version by hand in his journal. He proudly told me about learning how to copy and paste when I got home on Friday evening. I just thought you might like a little taste of what it's like to be the mother of these two boys... Plus, I promised Ant I would share it here.

I'll admit, I thought the main character a fantastic imagination until
I realized he was in a cartoon prohibited in our household...

Invasion of the Brain Beast

            In 3030 an alien of unimaginable brainatude was created. The brain beast was created to destroy all humans. The alien scientist created it for a mission. The mission was to be completed in 24 hours or else he would be turned in to a human.

The alien was getting ready to be launched.  His destination was Earth.  He was conflicted about his mission because he liked humans, because they had ninjas and good food.  He would have a difficult time erasing humans because he didn’t know there exact characteristics.

When he gets off at Earth after his trip, he knows he was in the rainforest of South America, because he smelled flowers, fresh air, and rain. “Gnarly ride, mate” said the tourist from Australia when he saw the alien’s ride. “Gracias, Como te llamas?” the alien said. The Australian replied; “Vladmir”. The Australian led the alien back to his house for somewhere to sleep, and then they became friends. 

Because the alien had found a friend, and he had already liked humans before his new friend; he decided to not destroy humans. The alien was going to live out his life with the Australian dude by windsurfing. However, the alien was worried about his mission because he did not want to be turned into a human. Luckily the alien was never turned into a human, because he was never found by his creators.
