Jonathan and the Pollution Pinheads

Introduction

It's the year 2013. The whole world is covered in domes. Yeah domes. The domes cover all kinds of things. Such as buildings and rain forests. From pollution and acid rain and other forms of destruction. The domes are made from real strong glass. So all the natural wildlife is protected and the whole world works great! There's only a 1 percent chance that a building could get bombed and that the building would get damaged. People also used submarines a lot. Even more than cars. So almost everyone had one. They were very cheap.

Hi! I'm Jonathan. I am a businessman working for a huge and rich oil company. I just don't want to tell you the name of the company, it's embarrassing So I am in Hawaii and I have to wait for 2 days until my next meeting. It's great in Hawaii. I'm in a real nice hotel. The view outside is awesome. I can see huge domes with jungles inside and such. There's even a volcano inside a dome. When it erupts, the lava bounces off the dome back into the volcano. I thought my short vacation in Hawaii would be great but just 2 hours later I'd have to work more than normal. I just hate working more than I have to!

So I went to the beach 2 hours later. The beach looked beautiful too. Lots of things on the beach were artificial. Behind me was a nice big jungle with animals running around in there. I could see them in my binoculars. Suddenly there was a huge splash. Everyone screamed and ran away. Then a black sub came out. The hatch opened and men in black with the letter p on them came out. They had guns with them. I had a strong urge to take out my gun too, but something just stopped me. I just froze and fell down. I watched in horror as the men took out barrels of toxic waste and other items used for pollution. They went into the domes and turned all the natural things into brown sludge. I saw the animals die painfully and the trees turning brown. The men laughed and ran back into their sub and descended. I saw a small satellite dish on top of the sub. That was probably what made me unable to move. I could then get up.

I saw another submarine 1 mile ahead. I pushed a guy off his bike and used it to ride to that sub. I saw lots of muscular men there in blue jackets and caps. They wouldn't let me use the sub. When I told them my story of the polluting people, they laughed and pushed me around. I really got mad. I got my gun out and pointed it at them. They screamed and let me have the sub. The gun had no bullets in it! Right in front of me, there was a manual that helped me operate the sub. How convenient! I went down and followed the black sub. Their sub was amazingly fast. There was some kind of marine base at the bottom. It was black too with the letter P and it said " Home Base of the Pollution Pinheads". Weird name for some bad guys. I went inside and hid behind a staircase. I saw the men come out also with innocent people with purple eyes. I had a feeling that they were in a trance. There was one corridor with a big corridor. I saw a little rocket-powered skateboard by me. That was what made traveling by the corridor so fast. If I as to walk, it would've taken me 25 minutes just to reach the end! I used the skateboard to travel all the way down.

There was a huge door at the end with a sign saying "The Boss's Quarters: Do not disturb!

There was another door right next with no sign. I went inside and saw several armed guards with slaves working. I got out and went into the boss's room to kill him. I got out my gun. Well my gun had no ammo, but I had some bullets in my pocket. My boss gave the gun to be just in case.

I really didn't like to be violent but that time, I just had to. I quietly went inside and saw him in a chair. He was a fat, ugly bald man looking at me with small beady eyes. He didn't even call the guards. I got out my gun and shot him. Oh yeah, I had to load it first. But the bullets just bounced off of his fat belly. He laughed and snorted. Then I had a crazy idea. It seemed as though the man was totally made of pollution. That's because he looked as though he was covered in garbage and he smelled like garbage too. I saw a water gun nearby. Hah! The boss having a water gun. I got it and shot him. I saw the boss screaming in agony and he melted into a pile of black goo. I ran outside and saw the guards melting into goo.

I saw the zombie people become normal humans again. They were puzzled. I led them into the big black sub. We got inside and went back up to the surface. The police greeted me. They arrested me for hijacking the sub. Darn! I got a month of jail. They didn't care that I took care of those Pollution Pinheads! My boss also fired me. I wonder why... Maybe because I always talked back at him! I never liked my boss anyway.

You might think this is a sad ending, but it isn't! The people I saved were really grateful and used their money to bail me out. Then a boss of an even bigger and better oil company hired me. I got way better pay!

P.S: The sub I hijacked, it was made of pure gold! I thought it was just gold paint. I mean, submarines made of pure gold are pretty rare and expensive. Darn, I should've taken a piece of it. Hey, I am a greedy person and I will do almost anything to get money! Bye now!
