   Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 15 “House of the Worm”(62) 10/3/12

   
   

   Panel One

   
   

   At the Carpathian mountain stronghold and lab, Dr. Dark’s pet project, a very personal one, is incubating in a transparent tube filled with a red translucent liquid and a shadowed short, stout form floating within. Connected to cables and wires and tubes monitoring its heart beat and vital signs and other tools of the Doctor’s trade.

   
   

   Panel Two

   
   

   He still dabbles in surgery but on a more sophisticated level than the ones he has been doing over the centuries. Nanites and viruses and hybrid molecular cyborgs do the delicate work after he designs and programs them to their intricate tasks. (Far better than mere scalpels.) His new project will make Alley Oop tremble like nothing he has ever experienced, not even in that House of the Worm will match it. And he will be able to savor every drop of it through his surrogate. The one gestating in the incubation tube.

   
   

   Panel Three

   
   

   While the paranormal investigators slumber they don’t see attempts by the forces in the ancient house to reach them. Each time a slimy transparent tendril, misshapen insect or glowing ball attempt to cross the line they vibrate tremendously then explode but with little sound. The sleepers are in REM and they are each dreaming of things fantastic, mundane and mirrors in metaphor of their deep seated thoughts and emotions of the waking mind. None of them woke up at the attempted intrusions, for them it was a quiet night.

   Now what next? Is Youchi a man of his word or not?

   All right, Alley!

   That was one heck of a game but Alley came through.

   Hopefully he and Ooola can get back to Moo after all this.

   Had a vote sometime back and they preferred I use the panel system though I’d rather just write it like a short chapter or a page of a novel.

   NIght-Gaunt49 -
   When you’ve finished the story there well could be enough material to do just that. Books have been written in conjunction with tv shows and comics books, as you are well aware of. “Just” a matter of getting the blessing of the enterprise to publish.

   Wasn’t aware that Mr. Mc wanted even that much to do with comments since he likes to “work solo”.

   Wonder if Yochi is going to be a snake-in-the-grass about this ?

   Believe me when I say I am leaving much out of it. I don’t want to get too long in the descriptions but some have to be done to flesh it out.

   No, I need to do it first thing. Most of the time I do unless I must see my doctor and have to get up early to take the buses I need to get to the hospital.

    The astonishing Oop miracle shot astonishes the scribes and elders who push the end of the world date back several centuries. All the way to 2012, so unimaginably far into the future!!

    I can see several likely scenarios:

    #1- Yochi ignores the deal, has Oop siezed and declares he will marry Oola anyway.He then declares Oop will be sacraficed so the gods will bless the marriage. This could be dragged out for several weeks until Yochi’s father (who just happens to be out of town) returns just in the nick of time to put a stop to things. Then it would change over to #3

    2. - Everything proceeds as advertised, Alley and Oola return to Moo & a new adventure begins.(BORING)

    3. - Yochi is slated to be sacraficed as the loser and Alley & Oola must figure our how to rescue him!

    Once again the Benders miss a brilliant opportunity to do some exciting artwork.

    Yeah, Yochi’s dad, the King, went up North, in Mexico, directing the building of a new empire and going to the local Pitz games for tension relief. He won’t be back anytime soon.
