MIB: Even the former leader of your United States of America, James Earl Carter, Jr., thought he saw a UFO once, but it's been proven he only saw the planet Venus. Roky: I'm a republican. MIB: Venus was at its peak brilliance last night. You probably thought you saw something up in the sky other than Venus, but I assure you, it was Venus. Roky: I know... what I saw. MIB: Your scientists have yet to discover how neural networks create self-consciousness, let alone how the human brain processes two-dimensional retinal images into the three-dimensional phenomenon known as perception, yet you somehow brazenly declare seeing is believing? Mr. Crikenson, your scientific illiteracy makes me shudder, and I wouldn't flaunt your ignorance by telling anyone that you saw anything last night other than the planet Venus, because if you do, you're a dead man. Roky: You... can't threaten me. MIB: I just did.
Roky: This is what they wanted me not to show anyone. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go pack. Mulder: If we have any questions, where can we find you? Roky: You won't find me.
Mulder: "I sat in my stalled truck frozen in terror, watching as this third alien attacked the other two gray aliens. And then it happened... the thing that forever changed my life..." Behemoth: Roky! Roky! Be thou not afraid. No harm will come unto thee. Roky: What do you want with me? Kinbote: Your efforts are needed for the survival of all earthlings. Roky: How can I do that? Kinbote: Come. I shall showeth...
Mulder:...thee. Before I knew it, I was aboard the hover vessel, and was heading not into outer space, but into inner space, towards the Earth's molten core, for that is the domain of the third alien, whose name, he soon told me, was lord Kinbote."
Why is this post marked interesting? Someone moderate the above down as a flame. This parody of religious intolerance is so poorly done it shouldn't qualify for the low standards of "funny".
Book One: Tad introduces the protagonist and through her we explore daily life of the village and see how she reacts to the different personalities around her. Hints dropped by mother that something Very Important is in her future. 200 pages
Interlude - A mysterious point of view watchs the little girl and village from the woods. 30 pages
In second half of the book we learn the special destiny of the girl, which is to deliver a basket of goodies to her grandmother. Several minor subplots involing all the sundry items which eventually will be packed. Book ends with her leaving the village behind. 200 pages
Book Two: Three stories, that of little red riding hood, the wolf, and the woodsman - all of who wander through the woods. Very visual descriptions. Big mystery as to who was watching the little girl in book one, the wolf or the woodsman. We learn wolf is actually a Magical Animal of (Mysterious) Prophesy, who can speak and may be Evil. Nothing really happens though. 700 pages, with brief interlude showing granny at home.
Book Three (split into 2 books for paperback release):
The dramatic confrontation between wolf and grandmother. 300 pages. Interlude : Woodsman flashes back to his tree cutting days and questionable relationship with family. 200 pages The dramatic confrontation between grandmother-wolf and little red riding hood. Ends in cliff hanger. 300 pages
Book Three, part two: (not yet released. HOW will little red fulfill her destiny as the bringer of food to grandmother? DID grandmother really get eaten by the wolf? IS the wolf really Evil - and if the woodsman arrives in time, is he a greater threat to the girl than the wolf? expect another 800 pages of dialogue in grandmother's little one room house)
