Well this shouldn't be! Chapter 2


Now my dear readers, gaze upon the poor goblins.
Now they walk in the dark and ancient tunnels of the underworld.

And they walk, and they walk and they walk...

Gurly the smallest of the goblins is the first to speak up "So dudes. What ar' we gonna do?" he asked.

Lemp the second smallest of the crowd answers, apologetically (He was not in the mood to argue)
"I dunno. What do we have to do? Rom?" He asked the biggest of the three.

The large goblin, whose skin is green as grass, and a nose shaped like a crooked beetle (with a pointy head), with skin like sandpaper; looked down at the two other, and answered "We need a human."

"A human?!" he two smaller goblins cried out in disgust.

"But they smell so weird... and their not green, or red (unless provoked or made feel ashamed)," Lemp said, "Their disgusting," he continued.

Rom looked at him ´very`apologetically "I know," he answered.

They walked on a little while.

"Oh soap!" Gurly exclaimed in a loud manner.

Now dear readers we shall go and see how our mortal hero is doing.

Now you see again see the town of Intercourse.

Now see a campus, a rather big campus. Which shall remain unnamed.

Our hero is now on recess and is consuming a weird substance called a hot dog, with his friend.

The campus yard is beautifully paved with limestones and there are pure green spots of grass here and there, completed with an oak.

Our hero, John, and his friend, Will, are now sitting under one of these oaks.
They seem to be looking for good mating specimens.

"Dude look at that." Will pokes Jhon and then points at a wemale specimen. The two boys stretch their necks to see the bottom of the passing female.

"That's what I call: Bootay!" John exclaims.

The female turns around, she is seemingly angry, and shouts "Call this!" and lifts her middle finger. She then strodes away stomping.

Will turns to John, "And a fiery spirit." John nods to this remark, smiling.

They are silent for a second. "Will let's go to "the hill"." Jhon says.
"The hill", it is the refuge of the two boys. It is where they go to forget the dificulties of life, and speak of the latest gossips.

Will looks at him for a second then he looks at his clock "We'll be late for the lesson."
John surged and stands up. He starts walking. Will follows hesitantly.

They soon reach a grassy hill which is truly peaceful and beautiful.

"Ahh, it's good to rest from time to time. Eh?" John asks Will.
Will nods and goes to lie down on the grass. John follows Will's lead.

They rest for a while but soon start to tell each other so juicy gossips.

"-And then she did it with him.." John said
Will looked at him and laughed "Yeah right. When..." He looked up at the sky "...Pigs fly!!!" He continued, shouthing.

John looked at him tucking his fingers into his own ears "Dude you don't have to shout. I can hear you perfectly well," he said.

Will looked at him hysterically and pointed at the sky "Pigs fly," He said again.
John turned and saw a flock of pigs flying through the air with some weird bird wings.

"Holy mother of God!" He shouted in astonishment. And truly in the pure blue sky on one of the pigs was sitting Saint Mary, mother of Jesus, wondering. She was confused, how she had come here from heaven in such a short time period.

"Holy shit!" Will said. They soon heard a splashing sound from behind them. When they turned around they were met with the sight of a pile of... shit with a halo above it, jumping towards them with a quite low pace. They let the pile of crap jump past before they looked at each other.

"What would happen if I said... Piano," John wondered aloud.

They heard an odd sound above them and were just in time to jump away under a piano that fell with the speed of a.... falling piano.

"Whoa," John exclaimed.

"What would happen if I were to say----" He was continuing, Will came inbetween.

"Do not say. Anything."

"But-"

"Nothing!" Will commanded

Sorry I'm reviewing this so late....


or red (unless provoked or made when made ashamed)


Personally, I don't think that you should put the brackets in...rather comma's.

:smt005 :smt044 :smt043 :smt042 :lol:

I couldn't pick up any grammar or spelling faults, but I'm not very good at that....But you should really become a comedian..............

So this is what you meant by dimensions being mixedup... Whoa.


I thought it was great! Especially the pigs fly thing... The holy shit part was (perhaps) a bit over doing it -.-

I like the way you start to open up the story in this point. This chapter really forces the reader to continue and could work as a first chapter in itself. Note, could, but it works better with the basing to this chapter. Still one thing bothers me. Why did they go to the hill? They just decided "hey lets go to "the hill", somethings sure to happen there." I think you need a good reason for them to go there. Way to go and what are the point things you earn for by the way?
If the road is easy, the destination is worthless.

"But they smell so weird... and their not green, or red (unless provoked or made feel ashamed)

Get rid of the brackets, brackets just don't work in dialogue, really.

They seem to be looking for good mating specimens.

Hehehe.
a wemale specimen.

Female. Plus you've just used specimens, I think you should just remove it altogether.

The two boys stretch their necks to see the bottom of the passing female.

I think 'as she passes' would work better here.

She then strodes away stomping.

'strodes' isn't a word. 'strode' is, and is past tense, and 'strides' is, present tense.
Plus you can't stride and stomp. Stride implies grace and long steps, stomp are usually shorter, louder, and definitely not graceful steps.

John surged and stands up.

Surged? Do you mean shrugged?

tell each other so juicy gossips.

Huh?

"...Pigs fly!!!" He continued, shouthing.

Shouting?
Will came inbetween.

I think you mean Will cut him off.
"Nothing!" Will commanded

A dangerous thing to say, when everything you say comes true, no?

Again, watch your tenses, you go between past and present. I like the humour in this, but don't get the plot yet.
I don't have much else to say, really. It's an interesting style you work with.

It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.

[u]Okay; this chapter was kind of confusing. A piano? I didn't like it much, not to say that others won't though. The grammar needs a bit of work too. I'll give you a more advanced critique later, just now I'm off to review some more of the requests :D If you want anything else reviewed just ask.
