The Other Side: A Weird Creepypasta/Fantasy Hybrid

15aewar

This story will be updated here:https://rendorasims.wordpress.com/2020/01/30/episode-1-the-portal/

Hello, friends! It's been over a year since I've written much of anything. Work has kept me busy (yay!) but now I'm sick, which stinks. The upside, however, is that I have a lot of free time on my hands - so I get to spend it with all of you.
The following story is written in the style of a creepypasta. It is a work of fiction.

I was clearing out some space on my hard drive when I came across this folder labeled "Morgiah."



Inside, there were a bunch of weird screenshots,



a text file with gibberish,



and this video.

Huh. I don't remember making any of these things. Weird, right?

Look below the heartaches? Not sure what this means, or there might be pauses between words. What inside the tower, look below, the heartaches. Sounds very ominous.

I found a really cool movie script generator. It did such a good job with the characters that I thought I'd share.
https://rendorasims.wordpress.com/2020/02/24/interlude-another-weird-text-file/
The story isn't exactly canon, but it is cool.

Pinmat135

"Bloomin' heck!" "Blinkin' knickers!" Ah, I love that generator. All of their generators. You can get such weird results, lol...

I totally randomized all the parts of it and here's the result...

INT. KINGS CROSS STATION, LONDON - AFTERNOON

Hopeful homemaker MRS SALLY BUTTERSCOTCH is arguing with adorable computer programmer DR HANNAH GLOOP. SALLY tries to hug HANNAH but she shakes her off.

SALLY
Please Hannah, don't leave me.

HANNAH
I'm sorry Sally, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces her fears head on, instead of running away.

SALLY
I am such a person!

HANNAH frowns.

HANNAH
I'm sorry, Sally. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore.

HANNAH leaves.

SALLY sits down, looking defeated.

Moments later, popular cleaner MR RICK THORNTON barges in looking flustered.

SALLY
Goodness, Rick! Is everything okay?

RICK
I'm afraid not.

SALLY
What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...

RICK
It's ... a dragon ... I saw an evil dragon badmouth a bunch of elderly ladies!

SALLY
Defenseless elderly ladies?

RICK
Yes, defenseless elderly ladies!

SALLY
Bloomin' heck, Rick! We've got to do something.

RICK
I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.

SALLY
You can start by telling me where this happened.

RICK
I was...

RICK fans himself and begins to wheeze.

SALLY
Focus Rick, focus! Where did it happen?

RICK
Tate Modern, St Ives! That's right - Tate Modern, St Ives!

SALLY springs up and begins to run.

EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS

SALLY rushes along the street, followed by RICK. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.

INT. TATE MODERN, ST IVES - SHORTLY AFTER

SHANE NORIS a cold-blooded dragon terrorises two elderly ladies.

SALLY, closely followed by RICK, rushes towards SHANE, but suddenly stops in her tracks.

RICK
What is is? What's the matter?

SALLY
That's not just any old dragon, that's Shane Noris!

RICK
Who's Shane Noris?

SALLY
Who's Shane Noris? Who's Shane Noris? Only the most cold-blooded dragon in the universe!

RICK
Blinkin' knickers, Sally! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most cold-blooded dragon in the universe!

SALLY
You can say that again.

RICK
Blinkin' knickers, Sally! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most cold-blooded dragon in the universe!

SALLY
I'm going to need swords, lots of swords.

Shane turns and sees Sally and Rick. He grins an evil grin.

SHANE
Sally Butterscotch, we meet again.

RICK
You've met?

SALLY
Yes. It was a long, long time ago...


EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME

A young SALLY is sitting in a park listening to some drum and bass music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over her.

She looks up and sees SHANE. She takes off her headphones.

SHANE
Would you like some peppermints?

SALLY's eyes light up, but then he studies SHANE more closely, and looks uneasy.

SALLY
I don't know, you look kind of cold-blooded.

SHANE
Me? No. I'm not cold-blooded. I'm the least cold-blooded dragon in the world.

SALLY
Wait, you're a dragon?

SALLY runs away, screaming.

INT. TATE MODERN, ST IVES - PRESENT DAY

SHANE
You were a coward then, and you are a coward now.

RICK
(To SALLY) You ran away?

SALLY
(To RICK) I was a young child. What was I supposed to do?

SALLY turns to SHANE.

SALLY
I may have run away from you then, but I won't run away this time!

SALLY runs away.

She turns back and shouts.

SALLY
I mean, I am running away, but I'll be back - with swords.

SHANE
I'm not scared of you.

SALLY
You should be.


INT. QUALITY CAFE, LOS ANGELES - LATER THAT DAY

SALLY and RICK walk around searching for something.

SALLY
I feel sure I left my swords somewhere around here.

RICK
Are you sure? It does seem like an odd place to keep deadly swords.

SALLY
You know nothing Rick Thornton.

RICK
We've been searching for ages. I really don't think they're here.

Suddenly, SHANE appears, holding a pair of swords.

SHANE
Looking for something?

RICK
Crikey, Sally, he's got your swords.

SALLY
Tell me something I don't already know!

RICK
The earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,075 km.

SALLY
I know that already!

RICK
I still wear nappies.

SHANE
(appalled) Dude!

While SHANE is looking at RICK with disgust, SALLY lunges forward and grabs her deadly swords. He wields them, triumphantly.

SALLY
Prepare to die, you cold-blooded cauliflower!

SHANE
No please! All I did was badmouth a bunch of elderly ladies!

HANNAH enters, unseen by any of the others.

SALLY
I cannot tolerate that kind of behaviour! Those elderly ladies were defenceless! Well now they have a defender - and that's me! Sally Butterscotch defender of innocent elderly ladies.

SHANE
Don't hurt me! Please!

SALLY
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't use these swords on you right away!

SHANE
Because Sally, I am your father.

SALLY looks stunned for a few moments, but then collects herself.

SALLY
No you're not!

SHANE
Ah well, it had to be worth a try.

SHANE tries to grab the swords but SALLY dodges out of the way.

SALLY
Who's the daddy now? Huh? Huh?

Unexpectedly, SHANE slumps to the ground.

RICK
Did he just faint?

SALLY
I think so. Well that's disappointing. I was rather hoping for a more dramatic conclusion, involving my deadly swords.

SALLY crouches over SHANE's body.

RICK
Be careful, Sally. It could be a trick.

SALLY
No, it's not a trick. It appears that... It would seem... Shane Noris is dead!

SALLY
What?

SALLY
Yes, it appears that I scared him to death.

RICK claps his hands.

RICK
So your swords did save the day, after all.

HANNAH steps forward.

HANNAH
Is it true? Did you kill the cold-blooded dragon?

SALLY
Hannah how long have you been...?

HANNAH puts her arm around SALLY.

HANNAH
Long enough.

SALLY
Then you saw it for yourself. I killed Shane Noris.

HANNAH
Then the elderly ladies are safe?

SALLY
It does seem that way!

A crowd of vulnerable elderly ladies enter, looking relived.

HANNAH
You are their hero.

The elderly ladies bow to SALLY.

SALLY
There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that Shane Noris will never badmouth elderly ladies ever again, is enough for me.

HANNAH
You are humble as well as brave!

One of the elderly ladies passes SALLY a gold talisman

HANNAH
I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude.

SALLY
I couldn't possibly.

Pause.

SALLY
Well, if you insist.

SALLY takes the talisman.

SALLY
Thank you.

The elderly ladies bow their heads once more, and leave.

SALLY turns to HANNAH.

SALLY
Does this mean you want me back?

HANNAH
Oh, Sally, of course I want you back!

SALLY smiles for a few seconds, but then looks defiant.

SALLY
Well you can't have me.

HANNAH
WHAT?

SALLY
You had no faith in me. You had to see my scare a dragon to death before you would believe in me. I don't want a lover like that.

HANNAH
But...

SALLY
Please leave. I want to spend time with the one person who stayed with me through thick and thin - my best friend, Rick.

RICK grins.

HANNAH
But...

RICK
You heard the lady. Now be off with you. Skidaddle! Shoo!

HANNAH
Sally?

SALLY
I'm sorry Hannah, but I think you should skidaddle.

HANNAH leaves.

RICK turns to SALLY.

RICK
Did you mean that? You know ... that I'm your best friend?

SALLY
Of course you are!

The two walk off arm in arm.

Suddenly RICK stops.

RICK
When I said I still wear nappies, you know I was just trying to distract the dragon don't you?

THE END

THE END

Aw, that was perfect. And Shane Norris...is that Chuck Norris's third cousin, or something? Plus, did they fly all the way from England to LA just to defeat a big-mouthed dragon?

Generators. Never change.

It's not really an episode, but it might make sense later.
