The very first completed story we all wrote by hand together in class last years. Fond memories? :D Anw, it's exactly replicated from the paper, I didn't edit anything...

Main contributors:
Aaron, Annie, Charles, Cherlynn, WanYu, Wiphaporn

(WanYu)
John Smith, a tall boy of sixteen years old, was just like any other teenager his age, and had always thought of himself as so. What he didn't know, however, was that things were about to take a drastic change... ...

(Annie)
As the birds chirp across the sky, John had a bad premonition. He was walking on the grey pavement of the sidewalk, thinking about the crime he had just commited... ...

(Aaron)
"Wait, who's there?" John sounded guilty. There was a pause of silence. This fear of John echoed throughout the woods. Suddenly, he was shaking, or rather, his handphone was vibrating. He took out his phone and something unexpected happened.

(Wip)
Something unexpected happened? Suddenly there was a screech. A bat flew past John. John thought the bat had bitten him. The next minute, he realised he's bleeding. Blood is supposedly red, but his is green...

(WanYu)
"Oh my God, I am an alien!" John screamed, arms flailing about as he desperately tried to unlatch the bat from his neck. But it was too late, he had lost too much blood. Yet even as his vision faded, he still held the bat steadfastly, determined to at least throttle the creature that had tried to kill him. Suddenly, a deep voice boomed from the shadows, "Don't kill my pet!"

(Annie)
Then, the bat released itself from John's grasp and flew back to its owner. Astonishment caught John, his eyes wide opened, jaws stretched. Then followed panic which rooted him to the ground. He wanted to shout, run, but he could not do anything... ...

(Cherlynn)
This was as what he saw made him lose the ability to do anything. There were practically millions of hairy bats fluttering around the first bat's owner and each of them had a pair of glinting, razor-sharp fangs. How adorable, John thought himself.

(WanYu)
"Do not be afraid," said the man, who has now stepped into the light to reveal his brilliant blond hair and pasty white skin. "I am a vampire. I wish to make you my companion." John blinked. He could not believe what was happening. Who is this man? Why is his blood green? Do vampires really exist? And more importantly... Why is he wearing a wedding gown? If John was not already dizzy from the blood loss, he would've been anyway.

(Wip)
"You shall marry my daughter! Chosen one." That was the last thing John heard before he passed out.

(Aaron)
"Alright. Why can't I make you the chosen one and MARRY my sister instead?"

(WanYu)
"Because I'M the vampire here, fool! I was already chosen! Now, as part of the initiation rite (you have no choice), you must know my name," the vampire paused for awhile, as if thinking, "My name is ... ..."

(Charles)
"Ugh... Remind me to stay off drugs," grumbled John as he stood up. He hated the realistic hallucinations he always received. Rubbing the spot where he had injected the dose, he looked at the greenish fluid in his hand and froze. Wait... That was only the fresh green paint of his room. John always did find it amusing that whenever he hallucinated, his old friend Tim would be involved. That was the main motivation for his addiction, really. The last time, his friend had been in a tutu waltzing like a pro. Before, Tim had been a goth that loved rap. Those amusing hallucinations helped him get over his loss as they were a sort of tribute to his deceased childhood buddy, A tear leaked from his eye as he reminisced about the past for a moment.

(Annie)
Four years ago, he was still young, innocent. He thought the world was a beautiful place, no fear, no danger. Of course, it was not true. The world back then was corrupted, covered with fog. It was during high school, where it all went black. Freshman of college of Dem, curious as John was, he was a social butterfly, talking to everyone. He met Dave, his lifetime friend... ...

(Aaron)
"Hey! Are you that Dave from the movie "Meet Dave"?" John felt a fist contacted with his face. This punch was thrown with so much valor that John "flew" literally to Long John Silver, a fast-food chain that specialises in fish and chips.

(Wip)
Suddenly, everthing went black. The world became a dark despair, a dark, dark agonizing despair. John felt the urge, the hunger, the yearning, the desire to kill. It almost seems like a lust. A lust to kill. TO KILL! Yes, to kill and eliminate those who have inflicted him pain. Pain? He had not feel pain for a long, long time. He has been numbed. With pain. The knife is just right next to him...

(WanYu)
John reach out tentatively for the blade, heart pumping.

(Aaron)
But where's the chicken? "I need to kill the chicken usings this blade!"

(WanYu)
John spun around. That was when he first laid eyes on the flustered Tim. He seemed like an angel in the afternoon sunlight. Then he saw that Tim was only mumbling to himself, heavily intoxicated by heroin. And suddenly, the flashback ended. Johm stared for a moment at the walls around him, unsure of what to do next. Finally, he sighed, and went out of his house, hoping the night air would do him some good.

(Cherlynn)
"Cluck...! Cluck cluck!" John spun round with exaggerated animation, leaping two miles back and crashing against the wall. It was a chicken! A feathery, brown, fat, luscious-looking spring chicken! "Oh, the horror! The horror, the horror! The overwhelming horror of it all! Kill! Kill! Kill chickens!" John screamed like a lunatic.

(Charles)
"... Okay. That was random. Glad to get that hallucination out of my system," remarked John in relief. "Wait, not quite yet... Chickens! The horror! Someone give me CWMD! Chicken-killing weapons of mass destruction! Someone kill me! His wish was granted."

(WanYu)
As John floated above his body, he thought of how stupid that wish was. Perhaps he should've asked to have a million-bazillion dollars instead. Sighing, he looked around himself. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar face, his skin even paler than he'd ever thought possible. Tim.

(Aaron)
Tim is a very famous wish corrupter of John's time. Tim, a neighbour of John when young, made John's data so corrupted that John became "Computerman" that lost his memories. This was the fate of John, his memories were chained by a somebody named 哪里美.

(Wip)
Oh Great. What the world is 哪里美? Where pretty?
Now, where the world is where pretty? John thought.

(Annie)
"Oh crap!" John sighed as he continues floating in the sky. John thought, aren't I going to die? Who cares about 哪里美? I mean seriously, I AM DYING, going to heaven I suppose. No wait. How can I be going to heaven? I... I... did all these bad things, drugs and stuff, killing chickens. I should have become a vegetarian like Mommy. I suppose I am going to Hell. To HELL........

(Aaron)
In the city of Hell, townfolks enjoy their leisure and carefree lives. Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a bolt of lightning striked a tree. What happened next was utterly amazing. A meteorite with a fiery temper rained down and created a crater next to the char siew tree. John emerged from the burning smoke.

(WanYu)
"Holy crap I'm black!" John exclaimed. Somehow the smoke had stuck to his body, and even though black little particles were already falling off his body, it was evident his black shapebe obvious for all to see for a very long time. John sped towards the nearest lake, hoping that the water, if not touching his body, would at least wash off the soot.

(Cherlynn)
His attempt to do so was futile, however. It turned out that what he thought to be a lake was actually a purgatory. The heat was sweltering in there, and instantly 98% of the water content in John's body evaporated into zillions of glistening gold tears that rose into the air, eventually becoming nothing. Nothing at all. Ironically, John swelled up into a plum-like shape. "Oh! Bloody heck! What kind of freak am I morphing into?"

(Wip)
"Well, well, well, congratulations for turning into the most hideous creature ever! John Smith." John turned his head, only to be startled by the man --- no creature --- no monster --- no demon right infront of his eyes. "I am Lucifer by the way. Welcome to HELL!" the demon whispered with heated vehemence, with a ting eof mockery. "Apparently, you have broke on of the commandments --- do not murder."

(Annie)
"Wh... What? What did I kill?" John stammered, still stunned by the fact that the man was Lucifer --- demon king's son, governer of City of Hell. However, he was not stunned by the apparent power or position of the man, instead, it as the appearance of Lucifer which made his jaw drop.

(WanYu)
"Oh, just a couple of chickens," Lucifer muttered nonchalantly, absentmindedly stroking one of his long, goat-like horns that pierced through his forehead. He flexed his red, scaly fingers, then appeared to remember something. A grin gradually showed on his face, strangely neither demonic nor human, but a mix of the two. "... ...and your best friend Tim. Do you not remember?"

(Chrystal)
"What... what now!?!" The nerve-racking bell just rang and John was walking home through the woods. "What...? Am I hallucinating again...?" John pondered. He was living his normal life and knew nothing about vampires... killing chickens and blah! And who is Tim?!

(Cherlynn)
Out of the blue, evil laughter permeated the place and John found himself on a chicken farm. Countless poultry --- no wait, only chickens to be precise --- were pecking around aimlessly at the stink-filled farm. There were spring chickens, summer chickens, autumn chickens and even winter chickens he never knew to exist. "Woah! Rainbow chickens! Awesome! Fantastic! Wonderful! Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious!" Unsurprisingly, John was blabbering like a lunatic once again. He was beyond the Universe of Hysterical.

(Charles)
"Wait... Weren't chickens demonic condemned beasts not created by any human-loving god? The horror!" John began running around in circles. "Somebody get me out of here!" Amazingly, men clad in black trenchcoats came and forced him into a van. There, they led him into an institute, and strapped him into a straitjacket. They threw him into a white room with cushioned walls. A sign read, "Special Facility For Adolescents Lacking Mental Stability". "NOOOO....!"

(WanYu)
John hurled himself at the padded walls of his cell, desperately hoping to find a secret exit somewhere, Naturally, there wasn't. Finally realising that there would be no way out of this white hell, John slumped in a corner, letting himself fall slowly to his knees. Then slowly, gradually, John cried.

(Annie)
Just when thought to die biting his tongue, the vault-like door open with a bang. John was startled, he stared at the evil looking man. It was Lucifer. "Muwahahaha! Are you afraid me now?" Lucifer cackled hysterically. "This is ze Lunatic's Home for insane people like YOU?" John open his mouthly widely, trying to comprehend what he had said, one moment he was walking on the grey pavement, then he was taking drugs, died and then ended up here. "Di... didn't I died?? Wasn't I in hell?" John stammered. "Yes, but no, not now. I've changed you into a human, you know, I have good relationships with the upper world." Lucifer said while pointing upwards. "Now you will have to be tortured in this Lunatic House!"

(Wip)
"Lunatic house? Does that mean I am insane?" Thought John as his heart pound with the intensity of tapping stones. "I didn't know that my heart would continue to beat despite the fact that I am bloody dead." Lunatic house, John inspected, was a gloomy hell. Not bloody. Just dark and gloomy. He began wandering deep into a forest with black trees and flowers where suddenly he was welcomed by a blaze of golden sunflowers. A man was holding a palette. Infront of the painter is a canvas, with golden sunflowers painte don it. John immediately recognised the man --- he was Van Gogh! Vincent Van Gogh! That moment, Lunatic house or hell became clear to John all of a sudden. He can create his personal space and land. All he has to do is to paint. Whatever he paints turns into reality in the Lunatic House.

(Aaron)
John paints a picture of a computer dog, and it appeare dout of the blue.

(Cherlynn)
"Ah-ooohhh!" howled the computer dog. John gaped in wonderment at the creature which he had just created with his new-found ability. Next, he sketched and painted a picture of... "Chickens!" he hollered in extreme excitement.

(Aaron)
"Woo! A tlaking squirrel!", and John kicked the squirrel nearby.

(WanYu)
Suddenly Lucifer appeared next to John. "How would you like to see your dear friend Tim again?" he asked John, smirking. John could not believe his ears. To see his best friend again! That would be the greatest thing ever! But this IS Lucifer, king of Hell after all. John eyed Lucifer suspiciously, "Really?"

(Charles)
Lucifer smirked. "...no. How would you like to die?" John could not believe his ears. In desperation, John drew a perfect likeness of Lucifer and a red circle with a line going through on the Lucifer. With a poof, the fallen Angel disappeared. John sighed in relief. A few seconds later, though, God appeared. "How would you like to see your dear friend Tim again?" John fainted.

(Wip)
"What the hell is happening?" John seethed in anger.
"Correction. It should be "What the heaven is happening. Thanks to you, the lawas of heaven, earth and hell have to be edited. Lucifer is gone and now no one is conducting the terrible ritual of punishing the shamed ones, and we do not wish to resurrect him. That serves him right."

(Cherlynn)
"Oh spare me! For HEAVEN's sake!" John yelled. He was more than just confused and lost, he felt a twinge of fury as well. It seemed to him that everyone and everything was making a fool out of him. "Well then, your wish shall be granted." boomed a caustic and tremulous voice. But as we all know, wishes are renowned for the tendency to go wrong. John did indeed find himself back on Earth. Nice, ordinary, Earth with no weird surroundings. But oh! The shock when he got when he saw what he had returned as! It seems that this was not the end of his nightmare yet. He almost had a seizure from what he saw. He was now a vampire chicken!

(Annie)
"What the hell?" John cried, however what came out was the sound of a chicken. Depressed as John was, he walked towards a pond with fellow ducklings floating about. John stared at his appearance, a tear dropped from his beady, chicken eyes. He sat beside the pond for a few hours, emo-ing. When it was near twilight, he felt a queer emotion, it seems that blood was pumping real hard from the heart and he was thirsty, thirsty for blood.

(Charles)
John, however, noticed that he retained the ability to manifest his wishes into reality by drawing. Scratching several chicken scratches into the ground, he waited. Not for long, however, as he summoned God. "Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck!" God nodded wisely before muttering that he had no idea what it meant. To remedy this, God turned into a chicken. Several scratchs later, John present a God-in-a-cage to the world.

(WanYu)
With a cry, God launced himself against the walls of the cage. "Now change me back into human!" John clucked, "or you'll stay in the cage forever." But God was beyond reasoning. "Why should I?" he spat.

(Aaron)
"You are not God, you dog! You are an imposter!" John clucked again. He threw a chciken scratch card into the cage. Dog God picke dit up with excitement. He scratched the first spot and he won something. Immediately, a shadow emerged behind the cage.

(Cherlynn)
The shadow loomed but nothing happened. Apparently there is no visible reaction, John thought to himself. Hmmm, a vmapire-chicken I may be, but my knowledge is still there, even my secondary three Chemistry's! Muahaha! As if to further prove that, John the vicious vampire chicken sunk his razor-sharp fangs into God.

(Aaron)
"I'm not a god, you dog!" the vampire god dog barked.

(Wip)
John ignored. He plunged his sharp fangs into the flesh of the "god-dog" and felt the adrenaline rush. His ears burning with sensation. The god-dog squeaked, blood all drained. The bloodless god-dog lay motionlessly on the ground. Suddenly, a halo appeared on its head. Orbs began surrounding the dead creature. A blaze. A bright light bloomed into existence. Suddenly, the dog-god was gone, but Tim was lying on the ground. Pale. Cold and listless. Lifeless and breathless. "God, what have I done?" said John gravely, burying his head with both his arms.

(WanYu)
It took awhile before John realised he now had a human form again. But he could not stop shuddering. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, clapping. "I knew you'd do it, ha ha ha! Now, you ARE a full, and wonderful vampire! I have never seen anyone go after his best friend that savagely." John stared back at the figure who approached him. It was the same vampire from his hallucination before. Only this time, he did not have Tim's face, but of a handsome twenty-something year old.

(Annie)
"So... you were all behind all these ruckus...? having me thrown into hellm lunatic house, became a chicken, all these?!" John growled in despair. "Well, sort of... you can say that." The vampire replied. "Now, you are my disciple, you will have to follow me and I'll teach you the vampire rules." It was like a lightning strike. John had became a full-fledged vampire and suddenly became the vampire's disciple? Suddenly the strong crave for blood rushed into his veins. Thirsty, he was again, for blood!!

(Cherlynn)
"Uh okay. I just wanna know if I can stil leat garlic and corn?" Y'know, they are my favourite foods! I can't live without them! While garlic is my heart, corn is my soul!" Afterwhich, a glass of blood elixir would add to the finishing touch!" Unsurprisingly, John was blabbering nonsensically. Again.

(Wip)
"Well, you can eat them. If you pass this test."

(WanYu)
"What test?" John asked, curious, yet still tryign to fight that ravaging hunger.

(Aaron)
"The test for survival. If you cannot pass this test with flying colours, you will die. I will now teach you the basics of survival of a vampire. Learn, and then you'll take the test. The training will commence in ten minutes' time."

(Wip)
"But firstly, you need to pass the emotional test of being a true full-fledged vampire. Be cold. Be ruthless. Be inhuman. Be a VAMPIRE!" his voice boomed into John's ears. His ears, John realised, had become more sensitive such that he can hear --- no feel --- the vibration of every minute movement. Especially a living heart. Oh! How tasty they sound! "You need to experience 5 main emotions : love, hatred, pain, loneliness, and hunger. Your clue is "sorrows from the depth of dark despair". By the way, you have passed the hunger test."

(Cherlynn)
"Now it is time to test your intellect and wisdom! I hope you know your Shakespeare well! Well, we shall skip the boring old sonnets. In 752 BC, Billy Shakespeare wrote "Snow White". Who is Snow White's sister? You are given 3 choices. Is it #o1) - Soot Black, #o2) - Soot Black or is it #o3) Soot Black?

(Charles)
"...it's Soot Black," deadpanned John with alarge sweatdrop on his head. "Correct!" came the proud answer. John face faulted. "The next test, a test of strength! You will do one pushup, one pushup, or one pushup.." John sweatdropped.

(Aaron)
"Knock it down, knock it down, knock it down, just put your hands on the ground and knock it down, knock it down, knock it down, if you don't want to die just knock it down." John sang. After struggling for five centuries, John was stuck at half-a-pushup. "Come on, John, you can do it!" The VDG cheered.

(WanYu)
Finally, John managed to push himself back up. He wheezed and panted at the excruciating amount of effort it took, but then he realised that the "five centuries" was actually five seconds. His arms were, however, throbbing wildly. Something he had never felt before. His muscles were wildly contracting and flexing themselves, and with each motion came a fresh surge of pain that wracked his entire body. A wrangled cry burst forth from his throat, guttural sounds that made no sense. "Don't tell me this is the test of pain!" John whispered, eyes fixed on the vmapire. The VDG only nodded.

(Annie)
"If you scream again, you shall fail the test." The vampired said coldly. "And DIE! Muwahaha! Let's see how long you can withstand the pain! "And so, John endured the pain, his eyes were closed, veins popped out from his skin, and an agonizing look smeared across his face. He made deep breaths , but it was of futile hope. Pain, pain, pain was all he felt now. As seconds ticked off, his strength waded off as well. It was about time that he would not be able to bear it longer.

(Charles)
Finally, the aogny ended. "You have passed this test. Now, the test of love. No one can replicate love, of course, but you will be placed under a powerful obsession," mused the older vampire. "Kiss, hug or molest any chickens or fowl and die." Suddenly, John felt a powerful compulsion to harrass the nearest fowl --- the ducks. With superhuman strength of will, he barely managed to stop himself from diving into the lake. Instead, John took a dive... into the ground. The resultant impact knocked him senseless. The last thing he heard as darkness consumed his world was the aged vampire's voice. "... you pass." Then, he knew no more.

(Chrystal)
As he drifted down aimlessly, he was still partially conscious. He could not believe that he passed the test. He was so ruthless and knew nothing about love. Suddenly, he landed on a tough and stiff ground with a 'bom'! sound. "And... where... the... hell... am I now... ?" he pondered.

(Wip)
"You are now in Venus, the planet of love and beauty." a lady said. She was seated on the throne, wearing an almost translucent white-coloured garment ; embellished with blooming flowers. She smelt of love. So gentle, so dainty, so beautiful was she. "I am Aphrodite aka Venus. I am love and beauty. You will have a test here - loneliness of a heart deprived of love.

(Cherlynn)
The moment John set his eyes on Aphrodite, he knew that he was in lurrrve. Gaping at the beauty in front of him, so perfect and lovely, so pure, he momentarily lost the power of speech. "What a ravishing goddess... am I in love?" he thought to himself, stunned at her astounding beauty.

(WanYu)
But Aphrodite only sniffed haughtily. "This is a test!" she barked, shocking the momentarily lovesick John. Then he knew then, that the only one he ever loved with all his might did not care about him. His face fell. Is this what loneliness felt like? It was as though the world had closed in on him, suffocating him. John couldn't' breathe. He was sinking, sinking into deep, dark, lonely despair. With one last longing, he stared at Aphrodite's beautiful visage. Then everythign went black.

(Aaron)
John died.

(Wip)
He failed the test of loneliness. The ability to endure loneliness is the very utmost duty of being a true vampire. For vampires have to endure an external loneliness, past time, past hope, past cure. But he failed, therefore revoking the prestige of being a true vampire. And eternal death is granted for his failure. Condemned and forever dead.

(Aaron)
John exploded in a glorious explosion. Thus, he became a legacy with more

(Wip)
to come. Truly, the best is yet to be.


Finally - fresh and unedited replica of our very first pioneer work :D
Typing it all out was tedious but it made me happy as I laughed at some parts and reminisced those times in class where we all scribbled together during lesson time.
May all enjoy it.
