Phase 2: Earth before the Chaos
Chapter 1: Insomnia
[Earth. California, United States of America. #53 Millbury Street, 2nd Floor. 10:30 PM.]
Clyde Clyffords just couldn’t find sleep tonight. He’s tried midnight snacks, hot, steaming milk, bedtime stories and music which, for a 12-year old, would’ve helped, except for the fact that it was totally out of age. He’s even started digging in his own stash of Uncle Mac’s Wonder Mallows, which always work one way or another. But somehow, it just didn’t have the power it once had on him. It might be coming of age, now that he’s a pre-teen that has outgrown his childish behaviour. But then again, he wouldn’t count on it. To him, he just couldn’t sleep tonight.
“Good Night!” He murmured to himself for the nth time, gobbling the final contents of his last Uncle Mac’s Wonder Mallows Pack. He tossed and turned inside his own bed. He cuddled his throw pillows. He started to vomit the Marshmallows he just ate.
But nothing seemed to work
“It’s no use!” he whined. He jumped out of bed, looking around his room to find something to waste time on. He caught sight of his ruddy, play walkie-talkie just by the window. Except it wasn’t a toy. It was the real thing. His dad gave him a whole set, which he gave to all of his friends. He pressed the button, and the walkie-talkie started buzzing into life. He wondered if any of his friends were still awake.
He looked at the electronic alarm clock by the side of his bed. 10:30. He reckoned everyone was probably asleep. He sighed, placing the walkie-talkie back to its original place. He looked back at the ruined bed, and wished that hopefully, he’ll finally catch the Z’s he’s been longing before. Right before he took the first step, however, his radio began to screech in a deafening tone. A blurry, barely audible voice followed soon after.
“Closer to the window…” he ordered quietly to the person on the other line. Seconds later, a clearer, adolescent voice was heard
“Falcon to Eagle.” the radio answered, the voice clearly restless and energetic “Eagle, do you copy? Over”
Clyde held the red button on the side “Eagle to Falcon. Yeah I heard you loud and clear. Over”
Just after he signed clear, another voice responded; a different one.
“Hummingbird to Eagle, over”
And another followed
“Parrot to Eagle, over”
Followed by another “Robin to Eagle, over”
And another “Sparrow to Eagle, over”
Clyde held his radio, slightly shocked at the uncanny coincidence. “Parrot, Sparrow, Robin, Hummingbird, I hear you all loud and clear, over”
He paused for a while, taking in and processing the situation.

Ciaossu! Wattup people of the Epic-tastic…um, that! hehehehe.
This is by far my longest article. But probably not my last
Did you guys enjoy? I hope you did
More coming up in the next days (Hopefully)
Oh yeah, and I might as well explain what’s happening. The story is divided into Phases, each telling a different scenario in the story, like a different place or time, that is not in the chronological (Sequence) order of the story so far. Each Phase is further divided into chapters, which tell a specific part of the scenario…
so that’s that.
Hope you Enjoyed!
Peace!
