Lost Souls
Carl Trunk
Graveyard:
On a pitch black, chilly March night, Scary, The Lord of the Undead, stands outside a graveyard. Scary is on a quest to find the key to the door that holds the secrets of the universe. There is fog rising from the ground and the wind is howling and crashing in. Scary sees smoke signals coming from a creepy and scary mansion that stands on the other side of the graveyard. Scary enters the graveyard and jumps from tree to tree, looking at each gravestone to see the names of everyone who had died. Scary hears knocking “TAP, TAP, TAP” and thinks, “Is that knocking the souls from the past?” Then he hears loud gasping noises coming from the ground, “AHHHHHHHHHH, AHHHHHHH.” He says out loud, “I think I hear zombies,” he senses the undead is near.
Scary chants to place a curse that will unleash the undead:
“Swords and Stabbers
Take these grabbers
We will stash the loot.
So wake all the meals
I know you are all dead
Show me your past
And ghostly presence
Of the undead
Help me find the key”
Dead bodies begin to break through the ground. Scary had set the undead free. Once they are all above ground, Scary creates a black hole that will take the zombies through time to find the key and the door. The zombies must travel back to the clock tower at the sacred temple, before it was struck by lightning and fell to the ground. The clocktower is part of the path to the secrets of the universe. Scary was sending them there to reach it before it was struck down. The zombies are sucked into Scary’s black hole and they travel through space and time.
Sacred Temple:
The sacred temple is a big building covered in gargoyles. Outside the temple there is a big flash and then strobe lights flashing in space. The zombies suddenly appear. The zombies begin climbing the stairs to get to the small room at the top of the clocktower. In this room there is a portal hole that opens up a fiery pit. The zombies say a magic chant that opens the portal and they jump into the fire.
Underwater Volcano Mine:
The fiery pit is actually the top of an old volcano mine that goes all the way down into the deep of the Pacific Ocean. The zombies fall to the bottom of the mine where there is sunken treasure and an old railroad track and railcar that the miners used to ride. On the opposite side of the track there is a ghostly cowboy wearing a hat and a brown leather jacket, he is standing next to a massive ghost horse.
Behind the ghost cowboy and his horse is a field of bones that is filled with large skeleton fish. In the center of the field of bones is a huge cave with metal bars covering the entrance, this was the hiding place for the key. The leader of the zombies lifts his tattoo covered arm and points to the cave and he says “ooooahhhhhh, oooooahhhhhh, WE WILL ENTER, ooooooahhhhhh, WE ARE HERE FOR THE KEY, ooooooahhhhhh.” Before the zombies are able to get inside the cave, they realize the ghost cowboy had already stolen it. The ghost cowboy and his horse lived in a distant desert land before they died. In the desert they were famous robbers and had been searching for the key. After death they continued their search for the secrets of the universe and stole the key from its underwater hiding place. The ghost cowboy jumps on his horse and begins to ride away. The zombies jump in the railcar and ride it like a rollercoaster to follow the cowboy. Once they reach him the zombie leader reaches his tattoo covered arm out the front window and snatches the key from the ghost cowboy. As soon as the zombie leader held the key, Scary’s curse is lifted and time goes back to normal. The zombies were no more!
*Flash to the graveyard
Graveyard:
Once the curse is lifted, the graveyard returns to normal and the undead go back to their resting place. Scary stands at the entrance holding the key in his hand. He follows the smoke signals in the distance and walks across the graveyard to the mansion on the other side. Scary sticks the key into the door of the mansion and opens it to reveal the secrets of the universe. Behind the door Scary finds a dark and mysterious portal that takes him to hell.
