ABOUT THE AUTHOR

MZAMO SIFILI DUKE(MSD)

 

MSD Production

My name is Mzamo Duke France Sifili.

 

 I fell in love with writing, when my friend, Mesuli and I were fascinated by producing our own short movies. We decided to write our own book, it was about a horror movie

 

We use to film our short films and edit them. Now that I want to proceed with cinematography and authorship I thought that this will be a good time to start. This book is film based on science fiction genre.

 

First, when I wrote this book I was having hard time sleeping and started to think of what I wanted to do with this time, I didn't want it to go to waste.

So I thought of, if I was there, outside I would want to go for a walk or start jogging listening to my favourite vocals. And then I thought how about I write everything I want to experience out there, right now.

 

Then I came up with my best Avatar and tried to imagine every detail of my imagination and brought it to life with a pen and a book. When I came across the second character she is quite and beautiful and some of my characters are captured from my surroundings.

 

I was inspired by a Japanese Manga (comic), I was reading one called The Last Human and there was a zombie apocalypse. So since I've wanted to create movies that will focus on South African inspiration, like adding Fantasies, Horror and Science-Fiction to uplift SA's quality in production. That's my dream I won't wake up until I fulfil it...

 

A pen and a paper can transform someone's world and turn it into a reality full of fantasy full of wonderful imagination, sometimes I just feel like I didn't want to wake up just to escape this poor world and create my own...

 

 “If only imagination could become reality I would have been a God with my own planet no offence GOD...”

 SPIRIT FADES BLOOD SUCKER AWAKENS

 

The South African Space Explorer sensors scanned and found life in a cryptical planet called the Red Zone 'X' Planet and decide to launch their space craft. They broke through the ozone layer and escaped earth's gravity landing on space. They hit the space jump and found the planet, it was beautiful more like earth but red, it had rivers flowing throughout its layers of crusty earthly dust. They took a piece of the planet, a rock and assure to run some test on earth to human subjects to see if they can sustain its energy and brought it back to South Africa.

 

It was a beautiful day in South Africa, the space ship was brought back and welcomed by many citizens they even took pictures. These videos were trending all over the Internet.

 

The rock was restrained in a heavy compartment. It arrived at the HQ of Cape Town Laboratory, the Laboratory Specialities (pty)Ltd (Labspec-Themo Fisher Scientific) at Ridgeworth. Scientists ran some tests and found out that its DNA allowed human beings to acquire the planet. They began to run more tests to small animals, mouse, rats, rabbits and squirrels. But they all shown tremendous outcomes, they all didn't die. They were ready to run the test on human subjects.

 

At night. The laboratory was empty, everyone left work, it was silent and all the animals were dormant, but one was discomposed by something. There it was the 'rock of devastation' in the spot light waiting to devour a mortal.

 

The virus of the rock was overwhelming the animal bit by bit and all it could see was the rock and curious to take it back home. It broke out of its cage and jumped to the rock. It started to scrape some of its parts, eating them. Outside the building, a security guard was not even discomposed. He was listening to music and couldn't hear a pearl. The rat mutated and became a monstrous midget brute and all it wanted was nutrients, fresh nutrients, blood, human blood!

 

It was the beginning of the catastrophe...

 

The strikebreaker jumped to seek meat, the security guard heard noises, he went to check but didn't know that he was polishing his grave. All he found was all the cages were broken loose and all the animals were at peace, blood was splashed all over the walls and the floor. Poor little honest animals didn't even perpetrate a crime, were just lying there dead no mercy shown. The beast jumped at him and ate his gullet dead.

 

In three seconds all the animals woken up and risen from the dead, their eyes were blood-red and a roar in glimpse of an eye cried out, a ravenous animal came to life as it was waiting to be broken loose from the deep shallow cages of inferno. Poor Marcelous. The guard was trying to brand a living

 

The spirit attenuated, blood sucker awakens...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ORDINARY KID

 

Sun set and moon raised it's face to brighten the dark.

 

Jake in bed and turning side to side trying to sleep but it seemed he couldn't get it, his conscious was denying him access. Jake decided to go for a jog and putting his pants and sweater taking his headphones. His mother shouted at of where he was going but because of music was too deafening he couldn't hear a bit.

 

He hit the road and started by the M45 road passing Ncedo street. He communed for safety and hit the road. He starts jogging. The road is quiet and there were no sounds of coming cars. Street lights are brightening the pavement. You could hear the crickets and his shoes tapping on the ground.

 

He meets the Baden Powell drive and stops to catch some air. He takes the right way and went ahead. There is no pavement but he is being careful of where he runs. It’s hard for him to concentrate on his music while cars are zooming left and right. He ran about 3.0km and he was now reaching the Monwabisi Beach. He stopped and did some workouts getting ready to go back home. Now he finds it hard, his feet are not allowing him to.

 

He tries to hike some cars and most cars are driven by white people on the free way. He thought he could find some black people to stop for him but nobody seemed to trust a stranger, looked like they were taught well. As hiking was flunking he had no choice but to force himself to the boundaries.

 

A car stopped, it was a white woman driving a Mercedes A2, it was red and beautiful, its owner curling her hair twisting her head and her hair just drifted smoothly in Jake's eyes, he was astonished by this gorgeous lady. Her nose, sharp as a pen but perfect, he was amused by this breathtaking effect. The woman watched him while he's being diverted and his eyes coiled out as he was trying to say a sentence.

 

The woman burst the ice and greeted him and telling him to climb in. Jake still couldn't believe this. He opened the left door and got in and struggling to put his phone inside his pouch. The seats were comfy and it was warm inside. Its interior was bluish and red with an amusing prime of seats.

 

Then everything became inconvenient, “Thank you Mam, whew(sight) nobody seemed to stop for me, do I look like a stranger?”Jake asked.

“Oh no no not at all...What’s your name?” said Jenny.

Jake replied, “Jake...my name is Jake”.

“Jake mhh what a fantastic name well I'm Jenny, just plain Jenny if you please.”

“Nice to meat you Jenny”, Jake said with pleasure.

 And Jenny replied, “You too, Jake”.

“So where are you going?”,she asked Jake and looked at him with a smile.

 “Please just drop me at Makhaza I would be thankful”, Jake added trying to be civilized.

 “Oh that's where you live, what where you doing here in the middle of the night then?'',she asked with amusement.

“Oh I was struggling to slumber and I just took off.'”Jake implied.

“In the middle of the night, is that what you usually do?”. She asked with admiration.

 “Yeah especially these days and I just found a spot that best suits me, you know, the alone time just to think my own staff.”He said and Jenny laughed.

“Yeah, maybe you’ll invite me to this lovely spot of yours, yes?”, asked Jenny.

“Of course good idea, maybe we’ll have some picnic when the sunset, the view is beautiful”, added Jake.

“Hey don’t spoil it for me, I want to see it myself, OK”, said Jenny with laughter.

“OK sorry, its so beautiful I can’t wait for you to see it, how about tomorrow, is tomorrow fine?”, asked Jake.

“Oh shit(looking at her diary), I’m sorry got work tomorrow”, said Jenny.

“It’s fine don’t sweat it, maybe next time”, said Jake.

 

Jake was enjoying this company of a great white shark.

 

“So you're a scientist and you work at Cape Town Laboratory?”.Jake asked with curiosity looking at her work label. “Oh that, what a pain, guess what?, we just got a rock from a rare planet called the 'red X zone' and we've been trying balance it with the human DNA so that us human can acquire the planet, well because our life sensor found life about 98% there”, Jenny said with stress and tiredness.

Jake saw that she needed to get some rest, she deserved it.

“You know I could drive you to your house because you're tired, its displayed on your brow”,Jake said with precaution and showing gentleness.

“Oh you so kind thanks but your parents would kill me, no way”. They both laughed.

“You shouldn't be stressing it's bad for your well-being, you know!”, added Jake “you should take it slow”.

 “Well thanks Dr Jake I didn't know that you're also a doctor.”Jenny said,

“Ha ha ha yap that's me Dr Jake”, both laughed.

Jake and Jenny chatted till time fled. They were enjoying themselves, getting to know each other and getting flirty.

  

His mother was troubled sick about Jake but seemed that Jake's mind was engaged. They finally arrived at Makhaza, he directed her and finally arrived at his house. He looked at the time and it was 12'o’Clock and found about piles of missed calls and messages from his mother.

 

“Well if you're thinking to escape again call me I'll be happy to jog with you, you know, just to get my head out of the house”, implied Jenny.

“That'll be great I'll be happy to oblige”, said Jake.

Jenny giving Jake her numbers.

 

“Thanks see you soon.” Jake said and closing the door, he waved till she disappeared in the blue. He went inside and found his mother sitting and standing making calls, “Jake where have you been! I've been worried sick about you, are you hurt, by whom,” grabbing and paging him up.

 

“Mom I'm all right, I'm fine stop worrying”, said Jake.

“No, don't worry he's here, he was jogging can you believe that?... yes I know...”Jake's mother talking into the phone.

Jake went to sleep thinking about Jenny. He even drew her face and took her details out.

 

Woke up in the forenoon, bathed and getting himself ready for school. His mother made him breakfast.

“Jake breakfast is ready!”, shouted his mother.

 “I’m coming!”, said Jake.

Took his back pack and ate breakfast. “Slow down you’ll choke yourself, so last night?”, asked his mother.

“What about last night?” asked Jake, “Who’s car was that?”, asked his mother.

“What car, I didn’t see no car here” said Jake.

“Don’t play stupid with me Jake, I know when you’re lying”, said
