Malcom the Child

The Parents

His eyes opened in a dark and cold world but suddenly there was a light. All his surroundings were filled with colors. There he saw the two faces of his mother and father. His mother had bright eyes of blue and a smooth curved face with moist lips and a pointed nose, with soft ears and blonde hair. His father had dark green eyes with a smart curved face, pointed lips curled into a smile with long ears and a nose with beautiful curves.

After the Dispatch

Malcom slept and slept until he started moving. His parents Honey and James got into their car to go home. They played with Malcom and said “whose mommy’s little cutie!” said Honey. “whose daddy’s little tough guy huh?!” said James. They all loved him soooooo much. They gave him various things to eat. Some were yellow in color while some were white, some were green and some were red. Malcom was amazed at the taste of the food they gave him. He felt lovely and at nights he had a cozy blanket and a comfy bed. Slowly his eyes fell and there his beautiful or funny dreams began. In his dreams he was flying very fast and leaving everyone behind. His tremendous speed made his parents love him even more. They cheered for him and shouted his name. When they went back home, they gave him all sorts of toys to play with. All of the toys were very amazing and he used to drink his mother’s milk most of the time. Boom! His eyes were filled with light. He had woken. His parents were shouting at each other saying, “what does the doctor mean he is abnormal!” said honey. James said, “The doctor said he had powers. He didn’t tell what!”. “Why doesn’t the doctor know what powers??!!!” said his mother. “I don’t know! He just said his report was abnormal!” said his father. “if the doctor doesn’t know then we’ll take him to an astrologer!” said Honey. “Fine. We’ll take him to an astrologer tomorrow.” said James. “No, we’ll take him today and by today, I mean right now!” said Honey. “Fine.” said James. Honey went to pick Malcom up, changed his nappies and dressed him in yellow. His father wore jeans and a shirt and Honey wore a half-sleeves T-shirt with jeans. Malcom wore a yellow hat as it was cold for a baby who is 8 months old.

At the Astrologer

Malcom’s father drove angrily. He turned left then right then left and left again and stopped. Malcom sat in his mother’s lap. They got out of the car and started walking up the stairs. Honey whispered to James, “He didn’t cry since he was born.”. James was shocked but didn’t show it. They entered the lift and pressed the button for the 5^th floor. Zoom! Up they went and the doors opened. They walked for room no.507 and rang the bell. The door opened as soon as they rang the bell. Inside was a woman with a cloak and a hood covered her eyes and nose, only her mouth was to be seen. “Yes, my liege. Please do come in” she said in a bellowing voice. Honey and James stepped in and saw a house fully dark with only three ancient oil lanterns for light. Malcom smiled at the woman. The woman also smiled at Malcom. Honey and James looked at each other’s faces then at Malcom and the woman. Honey said in amazement, “This is the first time he has smiled!”. The woman told her “Hmmm. I see that the boy will do great things, great things for the universe!” the woman said in a peculiarly soft voice. She lifted her hood and opened her cloak. “Turns out she’s a common girl” said James in a sad voice. “My name is Jenny. And I have told you that he will do great things but all great things must come with a cost. He will have to hide during the night as if he goes out in the night, his fears will come true. The whole earth will shake and blast into smithereens! He can go into space and that won’t hurt him but keep him indoors at night and don’t install fears in him. It’s for the sake of this world.”. Both Honey and James were shocked and gave the girl $50 in awe and went home.

The Outcome

It was about 5:49 pm at that time. It was getting dark and the animals had started to come out. “Come dear, let us go quickly. You know what the astrologer said.” Said honey. “Yes, I know. We will run to our house? Ok?” said James, “fine” said honey. They got ready. Honey held Malcom tightly in her arms. They opened the door and ran like never before straight to their home on the 2^nd floor. Malcom laughed all the way to their home. “Hai. Ayya goo booboo. Haa, haaa, haaa, haa”. Laughed Malcom. James unlocked the door and hit the sack. Everyone went to sleep and Malcom started dreaming. In his utopia he was the king of the universe and he was sitting on a chair made of diamonds! All around him sat 5 men and 6 women with a blinding light behind their heads. One of them spoke, “Malcom the ruler of the universe, the slayer of the great serpent, the savior of the poor, the creator, the great one, you are our master”. Said a very muscular man with an olive leaf crown. Malcom tried to speak but no words came out, he tried to move but couldn’t. The women dressed in a robe with elegant hair spoke, “Dearest Malcom we give you your first mission”. Another man stood and spoke, “you have to go to the planet Uranium x42056 and defeat a Cyclopes with 16 heads and unlimited weapons. You have the time of three months.” And a bright light flashed and Malcom woke. But this time floating in mid – air. Malcom shouted in amazement! Honey came rushing to the room, “Mum I am flying, I am flying” said Malcom. Honey dropped the bottle of milk from her hand and said, “Uh James uh”, “Yes dear”, “Malcom can talk!”, “what?! This cant be true. He is just eight months old!”, “If you don’t believe it see for yourself.” James comes running into the room, “Hi daddy, Good morning”, “Oh Jesus Christ, he can talk!” said James. Malcom did some tricks in the air which he knew when he saw his cartoons.
