Chapter #3The Coaches by: little man 14 year old Tony suffered from anxiety attacks and he was now having an extreme one brought on by this sudden earthquake. He was seated next to the doorway. His adrenaline pumped into extreme overdrive. He just had to get out of here! He sprang to his feet, unlatched the door, flung it open and jumped to the grassy ground, running wildly in flight.
43 year old Central High School coach, John Storgate, and his 27 year old assistant coach, Keith Grande, were touring the new football stadium, together, to check out their recently completed playing venue. They had just checked out the shower rooms and rest rooms and were now advancing to the sideline of the field, itself, when a silver metallic disc with spinning green and red lights descended from the sky to land right in the middle of their new football field.
JOHN: "MUST BE ONE OF THOSE REMOTE CONTROLLED 'LITTLE EARTH PEOPLE' SPACESHIPS THAT ALL THE KIDS ARE SO WILD ABOUT!" "I HEAR THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR MONTHS NOW!"
KEITH: "YEAH, THE KIDS JUST LOVE 'EM!" "MY NEPHEW HAD ONE, BUT HE AND SOME OF HIS BUDDIES ENDED UP STOMPING IT TO BITS!" "LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT!" "MY NEPHEW NEEDS A NEW ONE!"
Tony was frantic and had run as fast as his feet would take him. He was about 100 feet away from the spaceship, en route to the sideline of the football field, when the two GIANTS, walking at a slow and casual pace, suddenly loomed before him like two 15 story skyscrapers. He screamed and ran to the left to avoid their 25 foot long feet, but was smashed in an instant beneath one of the assistant coaches shoes.
The Captain and 39 teenagers watched on in horror as the shaking and rumbling grew larger and came closer, and the GIANTS came into view, GROWING BY SEVERAL FEET with each of their prodigous steps! They screamed in unison as they watched their friend Tony become enveloped in the GIANT'S shadow and, in an instant, disappear into total oblvion beneath a monstrous shoe! The Captain hurridly engaged the drive control to rise above and escape the GIANTS, into the freedom of the sky. In a mere moment, the ship's captain, piloted the craft 100 feet or more upwards, but Coach Storgate simply reached out with his arm and instantly stopped the craft's attempt at escape with HIS 16 FOOT LONG HAND. The Captain increased the drive's power to full out, but the Coach simply increased the pressure of his one HANDED grip and clutched the, to HIM, 15 inch diameter "toy" flying saucer, with HIS other HAND, completely covering the cockpit and throwing the captain into total darkness, the tonnage of resistance overloading the ship's engine and shutting it down.
Coach Storgate held the toy spaceship in both his hands and brought it up to his eyes to look inside...
JOHN: "DAMN!" "THIS AIN'T JUST A TOY!" "THIS IS THE REAL THING!" "KEITH!" "COME AND TAKE A LOOK!"
The Coach smiled and handed the little spaceship over to the Assistant Coach, tilting it abruptly, and sending those teenagers who weren't belted up, flying through the air. The inside of the little craft was in a state of pandemonium, with its passengers, screaming, crying, vomitting, yelling obscenities and even giving the GIANTS the little finger!
Keith raised the small toy to his FACE and peered inside. What he saw, made him laugh uncontrollably.
KEITH: "HELL YEAH!" "YOU'RE RIGHT!" "THIS SHIP IS LOADED WITH THE LITTLE BUGGERS!" "FUCK, WHAT ARE THEY DOING?" SOME OF THE LITTLE SHITS ARE GIVING ME THE FINGER!"
Keith held the ship in one HAND and lowered it to HIS side roughly, making all the little occupants sick to their stomachs.
KEITH: "JOHN, GET BACK A WAYS!" "I WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN!"
Keith clutched the little spaceship in his hand and launched it through the air several hundred feet inside the mile plus long football field, where Coach Storgate caught it. They continued this game of "frisbee" for several minutes, which terrified and upset all the little people inside. Several ended up with injuries from the extreme tossing and jostling around and all felt "under the weather" to the extreme.
Keith picked up the little saucer, once again, and looked inside at the extreme disarray and spoke in a very deep and loud voice that sounded, to the little passengers, like thunder from Zeus!
KEITH: "I DON'T TOLERATE DISRESPECT FROM ANYONE!" "MAYBE YOU ARE 'BIG MEN ON CAMPUS' WHERE YOU COME FROM, BUT YOU'RE 'HERE' NOW, AND 'HERE', YOU'RE ALL JUST 'VERY LITTLE' BOY TOYS, WHOSE SOLE REASON FOR BEING IS TO AMUSE AND PLEASE US GROWN-UPS!" "REMEMBER THAT, AND YOU MIGHT SEE AN EXTENDED SHELF LIFE!" "FORGET IT, AND YOUR LIVES WILL BE AS 'SHORT' AS YOU ARE!"
Coach Storgate carried the little toy ship into his office, clutching it in his hand and swinging it rhythmically to his side over the several hundred feet walk. He place it on his desk and both he and the assistant coach, Keith, stood nearby and over it.
JOHN: "OK!" "I WANT ALL OF YOU OUT OF THERE, RIGHT NOW!" "ON THE DOUBLE!"
The Captain strained at the door, and even with the help of several of the teenagers, he couldn't get it to open. Somehow, the GIANTS had damaged it and it was jammed shut.
The coach became impatient and simply took out his pocket knife and inserted it into the gap,easily prying the door open in a second,and sending the captain and several of the teenagers flying out of the craft and landing hard on the surface of the 100 feet tall desk. The sight of them made both of the GIANTS laugh, and forced the little ones to cover their ears from the volume overload of their GIGANTIC voices. Their bodies were battered and bruised, but their pride and self esteem had been damaged far more.
In lieu of a ramp, Keith placed a popsicle stick from the door to the desk top for the disembarcation. Once they were all on the desktop, both coaches lowered their HEADS nearer to them and Coach Storgate spoke!
JOHN: OK, 'TOYS', IT'S LIKE THIS!" "WAIT, YOU 'BOYS' NEED THE PROPER PERSPECTIVE FIRST!"
The COACH reaches out with both of his HANDS towards the tiny teenagers, teacher and captain. They are terrified and all back up and away from the approaching MONSTERS, but as they near the edge, the ASSISTANT COACHES HANDS form unpassable walls. They are trapped as both GIANT MEN grab handfulls of them and place them on the floor. Several of the more rebellious boys try and escape, but find any means of escape blocked by the 25 foot long shoes, which easily corral them back into place.
JOHN: "OK, NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION!" "HEY, YOU BUGS, I EXPECT YOU TO MAKE AND MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT WITH ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU" "LOOK UP, WAY, WAY UP, TO YOUR LORD AND MASTER!" "YES, I KNOW!" "I'M A BIG MAN, A VERY, VERY BIG MAN!" "HELL, I NEVER FELT SO FUCKING BIG BEFORE!" "FUCKING HUGE, GIGANTIC, COLOSSAL!"
"THIS IS 'BIG' OF ME, 'VERY BIG' OF ME, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT I'M SO FUCKING GIGANTICALLY 'BIG'!!!" "ANYWAY, I'M GIVING YOU UNDERDEVELOPED UNDERACHIEVERS A CHOICE!" "I CAN EITHER TURN YOU OVER TO THE CUSTODY OF THE AUTHORITIES!" "I CAN SET YOU FREE TO SURVIVE ON YOUR OWN!" "OR YOU CAN OPT TO LIVE WITH ME AS MY LITTLE TOYS AND SERVANTS!" "SO, WHICH WILL IT BE?"
