Coma by Mark antony raines
I heard distant voices calling out my name.
(Mark, It is time for you to wake up )
At first, I resisted the voices, but then I felt an uncontrollable urge to get my body and mind awakened once more upon the world.
I opened my eyes slowly to just the bright light of the bright orange glow of the life-giving sun.
(Where am I).
But my voice was almost inaudible due to it sounded like a hoarse creak.
As I scanned my surroundings I saw a room that was pale white, and the ceiling was the same, I heard the distinct blip, a blip of a machine monitoring my life signs, yes that would explain the clinical setting, I was in a hospital.
I then managed to clear my throat with a series of hearty coughs.
(How did I get here)
I had no reply as suddenly several people entered the room, all seemed to be pleased to see me, and each wanted to examine me as if I was some kind of monster from a b movie who just escaped the laboratory from the mad scientist.
Then one of the group with a kind face asked me.
(How are you feeling Mark?).
I was about to reply to this hustling voice when I felt a severe headache come on followed by a piercing flashback.
I was driving a car, and in the back, I could hear the sounds of young children complaining of being bored and wondering if we were at our destination yet.
Beside me in the front was my wife, giving her usual fake laugh and smile to hide the fact this was annoying her.
Suddenly I hear my brakes screech and my car falling down a cliff at the speed of a bizarre avalanche.
I briefly woke up, covered in blood, I scan the car to my horror my two children are not in the back, but in the front embedded into the front car window, their tiny heads were on the floor, decapitated from their bodies, they had in their argument earlier taken off the life-saving swat belt, despite telling them each time they got into the car, cluck, click every trip.
I next looked for my wife, she had her neck broken by the impact of the two children's momentum.
I collapsed into a coma out of sheer shock, my brain got overloaded with too much information for it to process at one time.
As the voices tried to talk to me to reassure me, I decided that I did not wish to hear them anymore, I drift back into my coma and my last thought is I never wish to wake up again.

The Adventures of Batman
The Adventures of Batman
The Shrunk Bat.
It began like all other Batman adventures, somewhere in Gotham City, a supervillain is hatching their latest caper to get rich, gain power or just because it is a Monday and are a bit bored.
Sitting on the Arkham Asylum committee is a figure we recognise under the heavy disguise of a tweed jacket, yellow trousers and what looks like a glint of green in his hair, yes it's Batman's worst foe, his almost evil alter ego of either the dark knight was to plutonium dark the master of mirth himself The Joker.
He suggests to his guests that the city of Arkham annexes land that is not far from Wayne Manor as it would be a great place to build a new minimum security wing for the reformed lunatics who were reformed and ready to give back to society.
The vote is cast is a resounding yes as the governor of the city is being blackmailed by the Joker, news of this development reaches Wayne Manor where Bruce Wayne, the true mask of Batman, in this disguise can freely move about act the fool and no one would think of him as the dark knight dealing out his form of vigilante justice to the criminals.
At first, Wayne is concerned but then he thinks about it and decides to check on the city plans on the bat computer, you soon realise that everything owned or used by Batman has the word Bat before it.
Batman for once Wayne slides down his fireman pole he becomes Batman decides to use the BatTunneller to make a secret tunnel straight to Arkham Asylum where without the knowledge of the guards or Head of The Asylum he can pick cell doors using his Bat Skeleton Keys and get information for any case he is working on by using a little bit of persuasion from his fists.
But the unknown is known to Batman this was all part of The Joker ann evil Master plan, to lull Batman into a state of false bravado for like a magician he is using this sleight of hand to entrap Batman.
Batman walks towards the cell of his arch-nemesis, and goes over to the door which to his surprise is open and not locked and secure as it should be for someone as dangerous and demented as the Green haired fiend, The Joker.
A familiar voice calls out from the plutonium darkness,
(Come in Bats, I have not seen you in a while, I do miss our games).
Batman replies.
(I know this is a trap of some kind Joker, but I am unsure what)
Joker
(You are far too clever for me old friend if you come in all will be revealed)
Batman walks with a sense of a coiled-up cat ready to leap away at any danger, he has even put on his gas mask just in case.
As he enters the cell he is shocked by what he sees, for in front of him is not the Joker at all, but a new villain on the scene, The Shrinker.
The Shrinker is dressed as a bizarre zombie-like scientist holding a gun which looks like it came out of a 50s Science Fiction B Movie.
The Shrinker is pointing this gun straight at Batman.
Batman
(What have you done with the Joker?)
The Shrinker
(Oh he is around just a little on the small side at the moment)
Batman is confused, and suddenly a beam of intense light hits him at full force.
Batman gradually shrinks in size until he disappears from the naked eye.
As he stops shrinking he sees the Joker standing in front of him, laughing with his manic laugh.
Joker
(Even I thought you never fall for the same trick as me)
Batman scowls, he is about to walk towards the Joker when in the corner of his eye he soon realises they are not alone.
They are both surrounded by a menagerie of insects all about to pounce on the next food source.
Batman looks at the Joker he looks back as if bound by some sort of telepathic understanding both now in this very moment, for the first time in the battle between good vs evil, would need to use their combined strength to defeat their new foes.
Meanwhile, the Shrinker is too curious to leave the cell to carry out his devious plan to shrink all in Gotham City so he could build his model city with his new toys to play God over.
Using a magnifying glass he watches with glee the battle, he is not very pleased that Batman and the Joker are working together.
He is even less pleased to see his plan falling apart, so he thinks he will interact by using his gun via the magnifying glass to make them down to the atomic level, just as he is about to do this, he is spotted by the Batman.
Batman then jumps on the Joker and rolls him into the corner, out of the normal hearing of human beings we hear the following discussion.
Batman
(Do you wish to finish me off yourself or do wish for this clown to take the credit).
Joker
(I am the only Clown around these parts, you are mine to destroy, no upstart is going to deny me of that).
Batman
(Here is the plan, see that old silver milk top on the floor, we both grab and reflect the shrinking ray at the Shrinker, and with a calculated risk we should both be back to normal, the shrinker will be the size we are now, then we can fight man against man)
The Joker nods in agreement, of at the first chance at the full height he suckers punches his arch-nemesis.
They both roll back in the direction of the magnifying glass, the beam hits the milk silver top which in turn makes the beam go in two directions, up and down, the up beam causes the shrinker to get shrunk, and Batman and Joker to get back to their regular size.
Upon this event occurring two things happen, Batman manages to put some handcuffs on the Joker before he can do anything to Batman, and the second being as the Joker recoils in being handcuffed he steps on the Shrinker crushing him like a bug.
The day ends with the Joker being put in the super guarded part of Arkham Asylum, Batman back in the bat cave recording the events on the BatComputer.
Another adventure ends but it is not long before we see the shadow of the bat signal in the night sky.
No rest for the Dark Knight.
The end?

This one's for you Lord Pondicherry
This one's for you Lord Pondicherry!
My love for you is like the most smelly potato,
Your face reminds me of muscular flamingos,
Together, we are like pizza and sweet chili sauce.
Oh darling Bob,
My smelly potato,
My muscular onion,
The perfect companion to my pizza soul.
Poppies are red,
Oceans are blue,
I like sand beneath her feet,
But not as much as I love flying with you!
Oh darling Bob,
Your eyes are like repugnant rakes on a autumn day,
You're like the most smart pilot to ever walk Sidney.
Your muscular flamingo face,
Your sweet chili sauce soul,
Your repugnant eyes,
Your smart pilot being...
How could I look at another when our smelly potato love is so strong?
I love you Lord Pondicherry!
Oh the summer of 1900
We're all going on a summer holiday
No more crashing for a week or twoSpiffing spoons and hot jugs at our summer holiday
No more lonely goblins for me or you
For a week or two
Summertime and the livin' is spiffing
Spoons are laughing and the jugs are high
Oh, your niece's stupid and your husband is mild
So hush my useful honey, don't you cry
Oh the summer of 1900
I can't wait to do some laughing with you
You can't wait to do some laughing with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see
This just can't be summer love
'Cause you were mine for the summer
Now we know it's nearly over
Feels like Friday's hair
But I always will remember
You were my summer love
You always will be my summer love
I wish they all could be ...
I wish they all could be ...
I wish they all could be spoons of Jupiter
Summertime and the livin' is spiffing
Spoons are laughing and the jugs are high
Oh, your niece's stupid and your husband is mild
So hush useful honey, don't you cry
And some goblins from America
Had a band and we tried hard.
Arthur quit, and Donald went kissing
I should've known we'd never end up drinking
Oh the summer of 1900
Summer laughing had me a blast, oh yeah
Summer laughing happened so fast,
Summer holiday drifting away,
To, uh oh, that summer holiday
Yeah the summer of 1900
Always stay helpful Bob
I grew up overshadowed by lush gates
Couldn't catch the eye of no city girlHere I am devoted to Bob
How I love the way you look in your turquoise jeans
Can't believe I let the smog cloud my eye
Where the lush gates stand
And the massive volcanoes surround
I'll ride my yellow truck with you by my side
There's a whisper in the Winchester breeze
Reminding me of Rachel
That whisper builds
That whisper cries
Rachel in the morning skies
You appear on the horizon
Brushing that curly hair from your eyes
The city folk with their fancy gadgets
Cement gates like grey tombs
Don't have nothin' on our way of life
Just listen to the owls
Don't live your life like a goose
Today might feel a time to be like a goose
But that ain't no way to lead a life
You know, there's a lot I drive by in my yellow truck
Folk who is messing up
Always stay helpful, Bob
Always stay helpful
In Winchester, when I was a child
I met a helpful man
"How can you be so helpful?" asked I
Here was his wise reply
Don't live your life like a goose
Today might feel a time to be like a goose
But that ain't no way to lead a life
Met an old lady who lived like a goose
"What happened to her?" asked I
Here was his wise reprise
Don't live your life like a goose
Today might feel a time to be like a goose
But that ain't no way to lead a life
That lady's gone now
It's sad really
Word is, she had curly hair once
Little Bob, keep your jeans turquoise
Always stay helpful, Bob
Always stay helpful
Owls, owls, owls
Owls, owls, owls...
