The Pure Naturist is a story I'm writing that will revolve around magick, naturism, corrupt politics, and cultural brainwashing. The story kicks off with a baby lost in the woods after her parents crash their car. I don't know how realistic it is for a human baby to luckily survive in the woods independently, but it's a critical foundation for the rest of the story. The plot starts in 1990 and will continue up to atleast 300 years in the future. Because this girl is pure, having no corruption from human influence in her early childhood, she becomes in perfect harmony with nature, and through meditation and other steps along the way, learns how to control the powers of nature, such as gravity, fire, manipulating physical matter, and lastly, life which she can use to heal, change physical age, or alter genetics. This is a work is progress, but please let me know what you think as I go along, and feel free to correct me if my facts are off. I was thinking of including Steven Gough in the storyline, or at least a character similar to him. I hope to make it a movie someday. I've also made an effort to format the text so that it's easier on the eyes. After all, it is quite a bit.
Eric, Jane and their infant daughter rode through a British country area in their car. They were on a road trip to visit little Emilys grandparents. Dense woodland populated the road as far as the eye can see, and beyond. The hours dragged on slow and the radio repeated previous songs from time to time, making the trip feel like a big loop in time. Jane drove as Eric sat passed out in the passenger seat. She checked on her daughter through the rear view mirror and continued along the tremendously boring straight road. She was starting to feel drowsy, but was near her parents house at this point. And so she pressed on, eagerly awaiting that turn at the end where their destination awaited just a kilometer beyond.
The sandman apparently ran out of patience and finally came for her just as she was close to the turn. And thus the car drifted into the other lane. Rumbling startled her back to conscienceness as the vehicle glided along the roads exterior. But it was too late as she had lost control. They hit a ditch, flipped and tumbled down the hill, but not before sending the husband flying out the windshield. The passenger seat belt had never been used before.
The mother, seriously injured, summoned up all her strength to recover her senses. She struggled to get Emily out of the car seat, feeling exuberantly relieved that the baby suffered minor bruising.
! she called out in a hoarse voice.
! she repeated, but even more hoarse. The headlights were busted and it was too dark to see around. It was futile.
She was bound and determined to get her baby to safety. Weak, she stumbled down the hill, attempting to take advantage of a critical shortcut. Her will to live and her love for Emily was overpowered by the exhaustion of the ordeal. With vision and strength quickly fading, she fell to her knees, with Emily in her arms. Now she knew she couldnt continue on, but applied all the effort she could to rotate her body, and fall to her back as not to crush the baby. Try as she might to avoid it, Janes eyes finally closed.
Emily, confused and crying, looked at her mother for a time. As typical for a baby, curiosity eventually got the better of her, and she began to crawl toward some mushrooms in a cave just big enough for her to fit through.
The next day, an ambulance arrived at the scene. As they searched, they found the father, not far from the car.
Bag him.
Shortly after, they found the mother.
Wait! We got a live one here.
The following day, the local newspaper covered the story of how a married couple lost control of their stationwagon and crashed into a ditch, detailing the demise of Eric and the struggling process of Janes recovery.
Emily, oblivious to human culture, lived out her days in lush woodland, finding mostly vegetation for food. Having grown up in this environment, she was adapted against illnesses and germs that would otherwise make most people terminally sick, as they are devolved through the lax living conditions of civilization. She was also climatized to the heat of summer and the cold of winter, despite having outgrown her baby clothes. In fact, she wasnt even aware of the concept of clothing.
The forest animals, though not as human-friendly as domesticated animals, were not threatened by her and paid her presence no mind.
She admired the beauty of a deer standing in a meadow with sunlight shining through a gap in the trees. Another deer approached and mounted the first one.
she uttered. Without contact from other humans, she didnt know any languages.
She thought they were playing, especially after seeing how playful baby animals are with each other. It required her to witness other animals to understand the general concept of what was going on. As this was common in nature, she figured that it must be normal like eating, sleeping and excersise, and was nothing worth focusing on with any real intrigue.
Despite being all alone, she was actually happy, but maybe only because she knew of nothing else. But to her surprise, she saw something she had never before witnessed. Through a series of long weeds, further obstructed by a bit of a distance, she discovered another creature like her, but twice her size An adult human woman. The woman was not able to see her, because her sense of sight was not nearly as evolved as Emilys.
But she had to find out what her species was like. Emily was confused as to what was covering the womans skin. She assumed it was something that grows on humans as they grow up. She didnt like it. It didnt seem like the animals fur. It didnt seem natural. She was scared as she approached, and considered turning back to the life she knew, until the woman took notice of her.
The woman was clearly a nun.
Oh, God!
she panicked,
Dear girl, what on Earth happened to you?!
Emily was confused. Are these the sounds that her species makes? What does it mean? Is the woman hungry? Emily also assumed at this point that all humans were like her and the nun. Emily wondered what the bulging in the womans chest was. She assumed it may have been a condition similar to when she once sprained her ankle and saw some swelling. She also wondered if her species did what the deer in the meadow did, but couldnt figure out how that would work, because there was no opening in this strange woman's "fur".
A priest came up and shared the same shock as the woman.
Good lord!
At this point, Emily was very nervous. She couldnt understand the words, but the emotion had some definition to her.
Were you raped? The nun quickly asked, based on her lack of clothing.
Its unthinkable what you must have been through. Who did this to you?!
Now Emily was very nervous. The emotion she observed from their attention on her suggested to her that they were going to attack and eat her. She quickly turned, but the nun put her hand on her shoulder and said in a more soothing tone, Its ok, we want to help you?
Emily was not used to such dynamic change of emotion like this. Her theories as to what was going on was numerous, but none were accurate.
Can you speak? the priest asked.
Uh? Emily muttered.
The sounds her fellow humans made were so much more diverse then that of the animals. At first she thought they were going to attack her, and now she thought they were doing a mating call.
Poor girl, shes traumatized. We need to call the police so they can do a rape kit on her to find out whos been abusing this child. She cant even speak!
The police arrived and were shocked at the sight of a naked 10 year old girl. She wondered if it was normal for humans to freak out every time they meet a new human. Scared, she ran, but the police caught up to her.
In the medical office, the rape testing began. As they entered that strange thing into her, she wondered if this was her species version of what the deer was doing, which made sense to her at the time because every human shes met so far had some type of creepy, unnatural fur cutting off their skin from the world.
NOTE TO SELF: Get a womans description of what sex is like to accurately depict what Emily may have assumed during the testing.
At this point, Emily assumed that this was indeed the same thing. But seeing how casual the animals were about it, she thought that this was nothing special, just another normal natural activity.
The church found her a home, of course occupied by strongly faithful servants of God. She couldnt make sense as to why they put clothes on her. They partially limited her joint movements and felt overall awkward. They stayed wet longer then her skin when she went swimming. The clothes were just useless. But now she knew human fur is removable and comes from a hoard called a store.
Having been part of human culture for 2 years, she learned their language. But the lifestyle always seemed twisted. Despite the fact that the church and religious groups were nurturing, their rules didnt make sense.
Why do we wear these clothes? Emily asked her foster mother.
Because people cant just walk around wearing nothing. Its wrong!
But their uncomfortable.
How are they uncomfortable? They fit perfectly on you.
They make it harder to climb things and get around in the woods.
Why on Earth would you want to do that. Thats for boys. Girls dont do things like that.
And so the conversation changed.
Why do boys leave the toilet seat up? How can they sit on it like that?
They dont. They stand when they pee.
How? Wouldnt their geek-gee spray all over the toilet?
Dont you talk like that! If you do, Ill have to wash your mouth out with soap.
To clean your dirty mouth. I wont hear any more of this filth, you hear?
Yes, maam.
Now go out and play.
Yes, maam.
Emily went to the local lake to swim, one of her favorite pastimes aside from adventuring in the woods. Her foster father was enjoying a tan nearby, dressed in shorts and sandals.
Hello, Emily. Are you enjoying your day? They knew her real name through DNA testing, but because of the car accident 12 years ago, CPS considered her real parents unfit to raise their own child.
It could be better.
Whys that?
Im confused on some things, but Betty wont answer my questions.
They had an understanding about the mom/dad concept because Emily has only been in their custody for a quick 2 years.
Really, like what?
Like, why do we wear clothes? Especially you, now. Dont you have to let the sun touch your skin to tan.
I do. I have a tan now. He looks at his arms, chest, and legs.
But what about under your shorts?
What about under my shorts?! His tone changed to angry now.
How does your geek-gee get tanned?
Where is this dirty mouth coming from all of a sudden? You dont talk like that!
Look, it doesnt matter because people dont see that area anyways.
Because its bad!
It just is, damn it! What are you, a broken record? Why do you keep asking why?
Realizing this conversation was going nowhere, she changed the subject.
Can I swim without my clothes?
Why in the Lords holy name would you ever want to do that!
Because I swim better naked. Emily quickly responded, as his eyes bulged with shame, The water feels so much better against my skin and its a lot easier. Plus theres no cramping of clothes against my skin when I try to move around.
Thats enough! he yelled, his eyes bulged more and more after each passing sentence from Emily, Dont you know that it is against God to be without your clothes?
God didnt seem to care when I was naked growing up. He didnt even drop me a post card.
That it, were going to go see your foster mother right now!
Betty was not expecting good news, thats for sure. Witnessing Emily being dragged by her ear, she knew it was time to introduce the switch. This aggression reminded her of the nature of predators in the woods. Granted, most of them were too small to be a threat to her, but she understood what it meant to defend ones life from hostile predators.
Just before the switch connected, she wiggled out of their grip and sprinted into the woods, never to look back again.
She thought she was fleeing a mortal threat, but what mattered to her now was she was finally free again! Free from the madness of her own kind. But now she was dealing with something new. Emily was starting to grow out her breasts. She didnt know why or what her breasts were about. All her foster parents were willing to tell her was, You learn about it when you get older. You are too young to understand. So she was left to simply accept that if its happening naturally, its meant to be, and like her foster parents told her, shes supposed to somehow understand on her own. Failing to understand, she wondered if this meant she was less intelligent then her fellow humans, that something may be wrong with her.
It was frustrating. She couldnt make sense out of how something bad could happen from learning about her body and that of boys. She relaxed herself and her breathing to maintain concentration, sat down in an indian style, and spent a few hours thinking long and hard about it. What she didnt realize was that she was actually meditating. Though she didnt recognize this as meditation at the time, she did acknowledge that the technique helped her maintain her composure and concentration to better figure things out. She continued to meditate over the years.
United States President Ron Paul was giving a speech to address complaints from a minority of Americans who are often not taken seriously by the majority public nudists. With her evolved sight, she watched it from a distance in the woods. By now she had done a lot of exploring and travelled far, mostly by woodland and rough terrain as to avoid contact with other humans whom she feared would attack her like her foster parents 13 years ago. What she was watching it on was some kind of small tv screen that can fit in a human hand, it seemed. The person watching was on a beach, along with several other people. But something was different no one was wearing clothes. Maybe there really was a God! To see an entire beach full of people like her, people who didnt feel the need for clothes.
She didnt have to rake up much courage. After all, these people seemed like her. They didnt seem ashamed of their bodies like she had seen with the church. So she approached an elderly man.
Excuse me, sir, do you mind if I ask you a question.
Sure, go on ahead! He was very polite, and Emily was even more relieved that this man had no reaction to her nudity at all. It was as if he couldnt see her body at all. But his vision was clearly present as he made eye contact with her as he spoke.
Promise not to get mad?
Depends. Are you going to ask me how old I am? he said in a joking tone.
Oh no, I wanted to know why everyone says that wearing no clothes is wrong, she returned, preceeded by laughter. Then the old man laughed.
Do you think that I believe that its wrong to be naked?
Emily laughed at the rhetorical question.
Well, maybe not you, sir, or anyone on this beach for that matter, but everyone else
Because their idiots.
Are you really going to leave it at that? Youre asking me questions to help educate yourself, and youre satisfied with a simple opinion thats not backed up with facts?
Well my foster parents told me that being naked is wrong and that they say thats a fact.
The old man sighed.
Im sorry, sir, she cried, I didnt mean to make you mad.
Mad? No, disappointed.
In me?
No, the people who raised you.
Theyre church people. They worship God.
So does that mean that everything they do and tell you is right?
Well, they have been around longer then me, but it just doesnt make sense to me.
Lets get back to what I said about them being idiots. Why are you satisfied with a vague answer and no solid facts?
Every time I tried talking to them about things like nakedness, they told me I was talking dirty. And when Id ask why its dirty, they always say that it just is. They wouldnt even explain why that deer in the woods was on top of the other deer.
How old are you, kid?
Are you joshing me!
There was a pause.
Im sorry, Im not as smart as other people.
Bull****. I hate that attitude. Just because youre not familiar with something doesnt mean youre not smart. It just means you need to learn, and theres nothing wrong with learning. Im still learning things to this day. But back to the point, do you really not know what sex is?
I never heard of it. Honest. Then she looked down and found a surprise, What is that?
April! The old man called out to his granddaughter, sunbathing next to a man and another woman.
Whats up, Gramps.
Dont whats up me! Could you help this girl? Shes been extremely sheltered as a child and is in dire need.
Oh April said in a concerned tone, Id be happy to help. Whats the problem.
Emily was overjoyed! Finally, the world had become sane, at least in England. People were actually honest now. It was unbelievable. Not one, but 2 humans that are actually happy to discuss things that no one would touch on before. It was like she had been plucked into a new reality. But apparently, according to the speech on the little screen, Americans are still mentally disturbed.
This young lady doesnt know what sex is.
Hours passed and Emily was pleased to be able to freely talk to people along the beach coast. No redicule, no hostility, just friendly and non judgemental interactions.
Finally before leaving the beach, she spoke to the old man one last time.
Id like to thank you for all your help. It really means a lot to me that you took the time to help me understand these things. But when sex came up, we did lose track of one thing.
Youre certainly welcome, he nodded, What did you have on your mind?
The thing you said about idiots being the people who hate nudity.
Ah, yes, I remember now. Do you know why I say theyre idiots?
Uh, no
Have you ever heard of brainwashing?
Brainwashing is the event of changing another persons beliefs or behavior. Young children are often the prime targets of brainwashing because of their imitation habits. Most of the people in this world have been brainwashed into thinking that the human body is disgusting, when in reality holds beauty they take for granted. And so, people have grown to be offended by the very sight of whats down there, and whats up there.
But its for breastfeeding babies, whats wrong with that?
Some people think thats sexual abuse.
But its perfectly natural. Ive even seen animals do it.
Yes it is perfectly natural, and there is nothing wrong with it. In America, if youre caught breastfeeding your baby, then CPS takes your kid away from you, and the police will take you to prison throughout the duration of your kids childhood and teen years.
Why?! Emily cried in dismay, How can they possibly think thats bad?
It hasnt always been like that. Around 2012, about three years ago, there was some controversy over it, but it became illegal in America last year. Women caught breastfeeding are sadly charged with child molestation and are required to register as sex offenders, which group them into the same criminal category as violent rapists. It makes no difference weather they do it in public or the sanctuary of their own homes. Looking up the criminal background of breastfeeding mothers yields back just 2 words that have become vague sex offender.
Thats horrible!
America was founded by prudes, so it only gets more ridiculous from there. Granted, we were prudes too, but had grown up a little bit in recent years. Ron Pauls trying to put a stop to this craziness, but Congress wont endorse Mr. Pauls bill.
How do these people stay in office?
Good question, but back to what I was saying before I got off track, the majority of the human world is brainwashed into thinking that genitals are nasty and nudity is lewd behavior.
What a ridiculous way to describe nudity? How is being in your natural state a behavior at all?
Im glad you asked that question, Emily. It isnt, and thats why I call these people idiots They are firm in their brainwashed beliefs, but since such principles are not logical, and they refuse to research the facts, they have nothing to back up their arguments, yet somehow, they still think that theyve proven themselves right. For example, when textiles
Textiles? Emily repeated, unsure.
People who live in their clothes religiously.
That cant possibly be healthy for the skin.
Its not. Wearing clothes all the time weakens the bodys ability to control its temperature, thus declimatizing the person. How is your tolerance to cold and heat?
Actually, really quite well, to be honest. Ive never felt cold or hot my whole life.
oh ok, well thats good for you, but most people dont have that tolerance, but back to what I was saying, look down and tell me what you think about what you see.
I see your penis. From what I understand learning from the other beach goers, its circumsized. It looks like its taken the beating of time.
There was a pause.
Do you feel the slightest bit of offence or disgust by it?
Well, I wouldnt want to touch it, but seeing it is no worse then seeing somebody get beaten or killed by a longshot. Besides, everyone grows old eventually and gets the same treatment from Mother Nature.
My point exactly. This thing doesnt even work anymore. But whats so incredible about societys brainwashing is that a lot of people actually think just the opposite of what you said.
That makes no sense.
Exactly! Which is why I call these people idiots.
With that said, I think youre quite valid in that opinion.
And the worst thing is that victims of brainwashing tend to share a uniform opinion, reinforced by other peoples opinions, not their original ones. Uniformity is not natural in a state of personal preference. You wont see uniformity in human shape, gender, stars, planets, anywhere. Not naturally, anyways.
Seemingly educated to her needs, she left the beach to learn more and more about the world she lives in. But what Emily failed to realize was that nudism happened to be permitted on that beach, but not in residential and business areas.
Stand strong for what's true in your heart, your mind and your soul. Be different. Be true. Be real.

Do some research into feral children, first and foremost. Then possibly take a look at something called Dramatica. It's extremely helpful for people who aren't well educated about writing theory, and even for some people who are.
As it is, children who grow up wild, do not adjust in two years, you haven't taken into account the reality of that situation. They also don't come back from it innocent of human values - they come back as animals who have managed to survive on their own by relying on the instincts of a prey-animal mentality. They aren't curious about people for a long time, mostly they are terrified. Usually they do not learn to speak because those brain centers atrophy in the wild.
As a concept I think it's not terrible. If you haven't already, read Stranger in a Strange Land. There are thematic similarities.
The world is complicated - that which makes it up is elegantly simplistic, but infinitely versatile.

I agree, it's a bit hard for baby's to grow up in the wild.
Maybe add a fantasy element to retain plausibility, have her raised by fairy's, learning to talk to animals like jungle book.
without an element of language the growing up phase would be hard to write while being interesting, add a variety of interesting none human charactors
make an early love interest before meeting humans, have it fairly lovely with a tragic ending.
Que rocky training scene.
Also introduce an interesting enemy for her childhood to be more interesting.
Don't make it to sexy too early, but make it violent enough to counter the airy fairy side.
Introduce humans in their spirit form first and don't make it obvious their dead, then make it dramatically obvious a bit later.
Que rocky training scene.
when the live ones turn up make it violent an disgusting, add lots of death.
draw out the tragedy of being made to adopt human life, then add some happy sexy bits, let it get tragic again, have a big chase chapter back to the woods.
let her be happy in the woods for a few years then introduce a wonderful human love element, make it last long and describe it all in horny detail, make him leave becuase he has to do something human.
Que rocky training scene.
then a few years later she's gona want to go find him, let the mystical culture-shock hilarity commence.
she finds him dead or with another women; tragic then angry then lots of violence; calm an contemplative; maybe drags a few men back with her.
years pass by an they die of old age or something.
End's with her simply pitying us lesser mortals.
I don't really know, just ideas.
As long as you got taboo sex, extreme female violence, lovely magic, nasty magic, character progression, plot twists, lots of passionate emotional roller-coasters and a few 'outside perceptions of what a crazy world WE live in' moments your onto a winner.
Perfect teen steam, vampires werewolves an wizards are already done, a strong feral female character trained by fairy's is a good choice IMO (IMG:

As the story continues, she does eventually get locked up for not wearing clothes. The current issue I'm struggling with is the feral child concept Vagrant Dreamer mentioned. I need to figure out how she can be free in the wild in her youth and adjust to human culture and be able to remember who she really is. I don't want to introduce the magickal element too soon. It's supposed to be a surprise to her. Upon imprisonment, she deals with adversity from cellmates. I'm not sure exactly which direction this is going to go yet, or if she will make friends in prison. But one thing is for sure. She escapes with the use of magick. I'm not sure yet how this will come to be. It will probably be the result of the termoil, and maybe she will involuntarily make something happen like manipulation of fire or gravity. I do know that the life element is the final thing she learns much later in the story, which is why she never grows old. This is how the story continues for 300+ years. Also, immediately after her escape, Jay Raptor shows up for a quick and mysterious commentary. Jay is the Elemental God of Gravity who is notorious for showing up out of nowhere to check in on people with newfound powers to make sure that they are not corrupted, and then just as mysteriously, disappear. Jay himself has his own backstory that involves a whole different saga, amongst the Elementals of fire, atomics and life. He rarely reveals who he truly is, letting people believe that he is an ordinary man, when in fact, is not remotely human at all. Jay acknowledges that the awakening of magickal powers can happen a number of different ways, but what concerns him is that Emily's dormant powers are the very essence of nature itself, which could lead her to becoming almost as powerful as the Elementals. Though there is one thing he does take comfort in - With her powers manifested from nature itself, Emily could lose her powers if corrupted by human culture.
At some point, I'm not sure when, she does come to America for some reason or another. It might be to right some serious wrongs, or maybe something else entirely. In the future, America has gotten bad, with prudes running the country. Body shame issues have gotten so extreme that people won't take showers anymore, favoring advancements in deoderant instead. It has gotten into their mind set that getting naked for any reason, even to shower, is sick in the head. Human reproduction happens in test tubes and the needs of sex are met with drugs instead of intercourse. The government releases the RFID chip to track it's citizens, and remotely releases the lethal dose of cyanide in criminals who run. When this information becomes mainstream, hackers hijack the chip and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans just to lower the job market competition. Terrorists take this same idea and increase the body count, decimating America to her darkest days.
I'm not sure yet how Emily approaches this situation as her powers grow later in the story. The Elementals are neutral. Their only concern is that nature itself does not get corrupted. Emily doesn't even learn about the Elementals til the end, or toward the end of the story.
As for fixing the story's foundation, I was thinking of leaving it as it was, but later on revealing something from her past. I'm not sure what that is yet, but it'll probably come to me as the storyline continues.
I have a vision of the entire story, but there is no room in the plot for fairies or mythical creatures, except for the Elementals. The story is supposed to have a real world theme with the integration of magickal abilites. I do not shun any unproven concepts like fairies, but fear that the inclusion of known mythical creature would carry the theme too far from the real world that I'm aiming for. One thing I need to figure out realistically is, like in the jungle book, if there's any possiblity of an animal taking care of a human baby, wheather it be by the animal finding the baby, or the baby stumbling unto the animal. When I do a creative project like this, I thrive on support from people expressing their opinions. I also rely on honest critique to correct me if I my writing is not accurate when it comes to depicting the reality portion. When a project gets no support, regardless of it's potential, I usually lose interest in it and leave it by the wayside. And so, I deeply appreciate your commentary as it makes a difference in the survival of this project. Thank you.

Dude, i just loving chucking ideas out their you by no means have to pick them up, an being creative is fun so don't mind me if i take an un-serious tone (IMG:
I believe in the fay but naturally their is very little info to go on an would be inaccurate as a result.
Maybe... her whole family was trapped in the burning car and as her mother protected her child from the slowly growing intense flames she became one with the fire to protect an love emily as her dyeing wish as she burnt alive.
giving emily psychokinetic control and healing ability through her mothers bound spirit.
That's plausible, hardly needs food, immune to anything and without need for clothing in any weather.

That's very clever to envision things working out like that. But as the beginning scene builds up to the tragedy of the crash, it is briefly mentioned that the mother survives:
Emily, confused and crying, looked at her mother for a time. As typical for a baby, curiosity eventually got the better of her, and she began to crawl toward some mushrooms in a cave just big enough for her to fit through.
The next day, an ambulance arrived at the scene. As they searched, they found the father, not far from the car.
Bag him.
Shortly after, they found the mother.
Wait! We got a live one here.
The following day, the local newspaper covered the story of how a married couple lost control of their stationwagon and crashed into a ditch, detailing the demise of Eric
and the struggling process of Janes recovery.
That last part is brief and vaugue for a specific reason. To let the reader know that the mother survived, but not to empesize on it so that the reader will either forget that she survived, or overlook it completely. The struggling recovery part suggested that she may not survive, which leads the reader to move on with the story, especially since the mother hasn't been in the story long enough for any kind of emotional attachment between the reader and the character. The mushrooms that Emily finds in the small cave are also important. This suggests an opportunity to survive. And the fact that this cave was just big enough for her to fit through explains how the authorities never found her.
Also, the mother is expected to make a return later in the story, at which point readers can look back on the slight chance of her survival. Emily doesn't find out til later that the only reason her mother wasn't in touch with her after she was discovered by the church was because Child Protective Services took the crash as a reason to consider her unfit for parenthood, which raises money to their organization.
An additional surprise pops up when Emily eventually suffers adversity from her own mother in protest of her nudist lifestyle some time after they finally meet. Emily has a long road ahead of her, but no matter what, she refuses to sacrafice who she is to be accepted by her species, which is why she has so much respect for Steven Gough.

It still needs some kind of super-natural event for the child to survive, or for a wolf or a bear to intervene or something.
Baby's die very easily.
An if you find a super-natural event that fits it would be prudent that the same event was responsible for any of her magical ability (specifically her cold resistance)
While, like you, i believe that natural born are better equipped for magic i also believe that the over-whelming need for basic survival skills would usually over-power the development of magical skills.
I think when writing a good story you need to be prepared to scrap the lot every step of the way, it's the only way to attain the quality to make it worth it.
Read up on how star-wars got created on wiki, he wasn't a very talented writer but managed to do alright because he re-wrote it from the ground up countless times.
Maybe the Great Tree spirit Kuntainas whose roots she climbed into took pity on her so protected and nourished her with the flesh of the ancient Fungal Lord Barasima in order to stop the prophesied destruction of their home.
Don't cling to hard on any idea when getting creative an don't let them go to waist,
make an event board or something, so you can put all you have in their, add as much as you like and chop an change everything until it you got something epic.
If you do it right, it won't be like anything you can imagine once it's done..
The prospect of a book so packed with the compulsion to rip off all your cloths is a wonderful one that will make fantastic gifts for all my female friends (IMG:

Actually, I finally got her survival covered. I revised the beginning to change her age, added some extra events in the beginning and wrote an additional 9 pages. Sometime after that 9 pages (I'm almost to the part where she gets locked up as mentioned before), the Elementals are introduced, which is right after her first 'magickal awakening'. Then there will be a flashback to that beginning that will explain what unseen force has changed her doomed fate. When I reach that point, I'm going to stop writing and start animating the movie. When the movie catches up to the script, I'll be updating both equally. Afterall, the movie can't exist without the script.
Stand strong for what's true in your heart, your mind and your soul. Be different. Be true. Be real.

This isn't the last of it. There's more to write before starting the animated movie. The idea is to catch up the movie to the script and then publish it as a demo to the full length movie in production. I've also revised the previous writing to reflect corrections to the writings' flaws, though not much has changed aside from correction of the timeline, her age (she starts at 3 years old instead of infant) and the addition of a wolf scene. Later in the story, past where this post ends will be a clear explanation as to how Emily has survived, as well as other minor events like the TV in the store being on after business hours, as well as the mysterious event of the meteor. Even though they don't appear to be at the time, those events are magick related. I would have edited these updates into the first post if the option was available.
Chapter 5: Alliance
Having never been in the city before, she explored the outskirts. There were few people out and about, but with being close to the nude beach, most of them were nudists.
Hey, why is that girl leaving the beach without her clothes on? a woman said to another woman in the distance.
Emily noticed them watching, but they didnt seem alarmed, so she paid them little mind.
Shes probably one of those dare devils. I think shes getting an adrenaline high from it. The other woman responded.
Either that, or shes looking to get arrested to get a place to stay. Thats what a lot of homeless people are doing these days. After all, if youre a peaceful person, what better way to get arrested then by doing something completely harmless?
Yea, thats pretty much it. Smart thinking on her part, though it is a waste of tax-payer money.
Tell me about it. I dont understand why they continue to waste money to enforce things that arent even hurting society. It actually pisses me off.
If I was in charge, Id focus our budget and police attention on detecting and stopping theft, violence and murder, not harassing people minding their own business. That would lead to people getting more out of their paychecks and a better economy. Its just retarded! Id give a big f%*! you to all the liberals who bitch about stupid shit.
Now I know youre never getting elected for anything.
A pause.
Well, when she does get locked up, chances are that theyll bunk her in with a serial killer and call them equal.
(Sigh) What is our world coming too?
Emily walked further from the beach. She loved the beach, but the drive to educate herself pushed her to explore these new boundaries. Approaching the glass window of a store, she saw a TV playing. Though the store was closed, apparently someone had left one of the TVs on. It was another broadcast displaying American news.
The hacker and terrorist epidemic is at an all-time high, the news reporter on the TV said.
A fully dressed man approached Emily.
Back from the beach, eh? He had the same accent as the woman reporting the news in America.
Yea. Were you there too?
No, I dont go to that beach.
Does British television always show American news? It just seems irrelevant.
We look to the Americans as the example, the man said as he was staring at her butt. She was facing forward glued to the TV. The man then started looking at her breasts, until she took notice.
Are you offended by what you see?
Oh no, he said, Not at all.
Is there something wrong with my body? she asked.
No, its perfect. He quickly responded, clearly lacking thought.
Why were you staring? she questioned.
About the American news, we look to them as the example of what not to be.
So, Americans dont blatantly stare at people? she asked in a matter-of-fact kind of tone, making eye contact.
There was a pause. He returned the eye contact.
They dont do nothing, not anymore. Theyve had no concept of nature since 2017, he said, finally putting some thought into rationalizing his optical actions.
But to be honest, he continued, I think youre hot!
I dont feel hot.
Another pause. It was clear that this man realized that she was uneducated, which to him, meant that she may adapt to his particular cultural mindset.
No, I mean hot as in sexy.
I dont follow. What do you mean by sexy? Does that have something to do with sex?
Sort of, he paused, The term hot comes from the association of lustful emotion emanating heat. And sexy comes from the kind of beauty that invokes sexual desire. You could say that a 10 year old girl is beautiful, but you most certainly wouldnt call her sexy.
I was 10 years old once. She said, at which point the man began to lose interest. If Emily had the mindset of a 10 year old, she had no place in his life or bed.
That sounds intense, she went on, I dont think of myself as sexy.
A woman driving by in the distance had a 6 year old boy and a 5 year old girl in the car. The siblings were arguing about what was playing on the radio.
Mom! the little girl cried.
What! The woman exclaimed, irritated.
I dont want to hear this old Justin Bieber crap! the daughter inhibited exclaimed.
Yea, didnt we leave America to get away from stupid shit?
We left because I refused to put our family in danger. Im not letting the government put those damn chips in our skin. Now shut the f%*! up and sit tight!
No, you shut the f%*! up, The boy countered.
The mother reached back and smacked the boy, causing the car to swerve a little. Suddenly she slammed on the breaks!
What is it now? The boy asked. He was looking in the opposite direction at some toy stores.
Cover your fucking eyes, James! Right now! You too, Maria! the woman panicked.
Huh? The boy ignored the demand and looked, seeing Emily in the distance.
Hey, I have one of those, the daughter joked as she looked at the lower part of the body.
And you have one of those, the son joked as he looked at her upper torso.
Just then, the woman reached back and smacked both of them in the face, following with the paddle to their behinds. They cried and lamented. While the kids were distracted, she slammed the gas and sped off.
Emily and the man next to her took notice of this. Emily didnt understand what that was about, but the man decided to end their conversation.
Well, its been fun talking to you, he said very quickly, But I got to go!
Ok, she responded. Bye.
After the man left, she continued to watch the American reporter on the TV.
Tragedies rank at an all-time high, the American reporter reported.
A man has bombed the local Child Protective Services building yesterday. Detectives have surmised that his father knew Timothy McVeigh and considered the possibility of a link. It is unclear as to whether he was taught by McVeigh himself, or learned this terrorist skill on his own. Sadly there are no survivors. In light of this act of evil, no children were in the building at the time of the bombing. Police are currently not releasing the identity of this man, but we do have a video of his arrest.
Give me my son back! the bomber said, handcuffed and pulled toward the police car.
Youre not hurting that child ever again! the officer quickly returned.
What do you know? Theres no way to verify what happens behind closed doors. A report gets made and theres no investigation to back it up? CPS is evil! Corrupt! Money and power hungry! The bomber spoke as fast as he could to get his point out before it was too late.
Shut up, scumbag, another police officer said to the bomber, as he tucked the man into the car.
You dont believe me? Google it!
The video ended and the reporter resumed her report.
Authorities say that if anyone feels that there is some kind of government corruption that comes to their attention, please report it to them and they will investigate it.
The phone rang.
Fox news.
Yes, my name is Tiffany and Id like to say something, the caller cut the reporter off before she could finish her greeting.
Certainly, Tiffany. Whats on your mind?
Id like to say that I am tired of all the government conspiracies Im hearing about. These are just a bunch of crazy nuts who are trying to get attention. Our founding fathers were the greatest people the world has ever known. And this has always been the best country in the world. Theres no way our government could be corrupt in any way.
Maybe so, Tiffany, but have you considered looking up what he suggested?
Hell no! Im not wasting my time looking into made-up crap. I have better things to do with my life.
Thank you, Tiffany.
The phone rang again.
Fox news, this is Mary. Whats on your mind today?
My names Tom and Id have to agree with Tiffany.
Do you have anything to add to that, Tom?
Yea, Im glad they caught that terrorist and child abuser. Theres nothing in the world more evil then people like him. Not even the devil! Its a miracle that we have honorable organizations like CPS. What would the future of our proud nation be like if people were aloud to abuse their children?
Violent and grim, Im sure, agreed the reporter.
Ultimately, the reporter seemed to have some kind of acting atmosphere about herself, but no one seemed to catch on.
In recent events, the bomber has been identified as Wallace Truman. This information is coming in live. Onto you, Benjamin.
Thank you, Mary, he returned, This just in, a meteor is on its way to the jail where Truman is being held. Its as if God himself is demanding justice personally.
The video shown the sky swell red and within seconds, an explosion occurs in the distance.
Im on my way there now, Mary, the other reporter stated as he frantically approached the van, Back to you!
We dont have a cam on site at the moment, but reports are flooding in that the prison staff has escaped. Some suffered minor injured, but otherwise are in stable condition. However, they did not have time to evacuate the prisoners. They are all presumed dead, including Truman.
The phone rang.
Fox news, this is Mary. Whats on your mind, the reporter reiterated.
I used to be an atheist.
Thank you, sir, but does this have any relevance to this issue?
Yes. I used to be an atheist, but after what just happened to that child abuser, I know theres a God now. Theres just no way around it! It cant possibly be a coincidence.
Maybe so, sir. Hopefully God is watching over the good people of this nation. But what about the prisoners that were trapped in the building?
What about them? Theyre scum. Even though I agree with Tiffany and Tom about the righteousness of our government, I think theyre idiots.
How so, sir.
Why do they even waste money on jails and prisons? All the thieves, murderers and sex offenders are nothing but parasites that prey on good people. They dont get rehabilitated. They learn from each other in prison and get worse. You dont hear about evil people killing evil people. Theres nothing wrong with that. But what you do hear about is evil people teaming up with evil people and then stealing from, raping or murdering good people. All prison is is a training ground for evil. Thats all it accomplishes.
Thank you for your input. Thats not a common thing most people think about.
Well, they should. How much money do you think we could keep out of our own paychecks if the government was more financially responsible? How much less would our children starve in this dire economy?
She hung up.
The news switched back to the rerun portion of what Emily failed to notice while the man was talking to her at the window.
The hacker and terrorist epidemic is at an all-time high, the news reporter on the TV said.
Unfortunately so, her co-host said, The RFID chip that has kept our streets safe from violent criminals is now being turned against us. In frenzied panic, citizens are digging the chip out of their skin in fear of hackers triggering its lethal dose of cyanide. Unfortunately, the chip has a sensor that detects that behavior and releases the cyanide automatically upon interference.
People are spontaneously dying before our eyes! Mary resumed, It is believed that American hackers are attempting to reduce the population to improve the job market. Twenty percent of Americans are employed, and the citizens are getting desperate to fend for their families. Worse yet, terrorist hackers have taken cue and have raised the death toll from the 300,000 to 4,000,000.
The phone rang again. It was the same anomonous caller.
See what I mean. Those worthless criminals dont care about anybody but themselves. They would happily destroy our entire country and all its history just for a buck. They are the cancer of society.
Thank you, sir. Onto you, Benjamin. Her voice in response to the caller was bland and had a redundant sound to it. It was clear that the reporter wasnt saying everything she wanted to say.
Im almost to the scene of the incident, Mary. As he approached, the police wouldnt let him in, keeping him behind the ambulances.
Emily was tuned into the TV, until she heard some yelling.
Hey, what the bloody hell do you think youre doing! The cop yelled as he was running up to her.
Just watching this news. Im not trying to break into anything, I swear!
Im not talking about that.
Emily was tucked into the police car.
In her jail cell, the guard approached.
Your trial is in a couple days. Make yourself comfortable.
So, she started taking her clothes off.
What the hell are you doing? Stop that! the woman in uniform demanded.
But you said to make myself comfortable Emily honestly returned.
Uh! the guard grunted as she stepped away, Damn nudists!
What is your deal? her cellmate lamented.
She turned and looked.
Well, she said Emily responded.
Are you kidding me? The cellmate attacked. How is being naked any way comfortable? Youd have to be mad to expose yourself like that. Wheres your dignity?
Wheres yours? Emily jumped, How is it dignified if you have to hide your own skin. That sounds like shame to me.
The cellmates fist clenched.
You bloody bitch!
Hey, knock it off in there! a prison guard warned.
Emily simply sat still, relaxed and breathed carefully. She didnt classify her behavior as mediating, but thats really what she was doing. To her, this was just a natural means of relaxing and being at peace with oneself. She did this for hours in the cell.
At some point, the cell mate became irritated.
Would you stop that shit! Its creeping me out.
Why dont you try it? Emily suggested.
Im not wasting my time acting like some dorky monk.
Wasting what time. Have you forgotten where youre at?
The cell mate got up and approached Emily from behind. Then she swung at her, but Emily heard the sound of the disrupted air, caught the fist, and flipped her over.
What are you, some man with a sex change?
Who would ever be insecure with their sexuality enough to do something like that?
Crazy people, the cellmate responded. Like you nudists!
Thats enough! came a prison guard running up to the cell, Ive about had it with you two!
More people were coming.
I didnt do it! You got the wrong woman! a voice echoed, the sound increasing.
Another guard escorted a woman to her cell.
Play nice. The guard joked as he turned and walked away.
The new prisoner was Alice, whom Emily met at the beach.
Im serious!
Well see when the DNA testing comes back.
The guards left.
April! Came Emilys surprise.
Emily, what are you doing here? responded her friend.
Oh, great, another crazy nudist.
What are you in here for, April asked the other cell mate.
I drove a screwdriver through some bitchs eye.
Thats horrible! Emily jumped, What pushed you to do something like that?
Bitch was talking shit.
Emily Alice said with a tone of disappointment, What did you do?
I didnt do anything. Honest. I was just watching TV and a police officer came out of nowhere and arrested me.
She was naked in public, the cell mate interrupted.
Well, thats the way it is, April said until interrupted.
It is what it is, the other cell mate said. They both ignored her.
But Alice continued, With prudes like your friend here believing in stomping out natural freedom, people will always be punished and criticized for doing nothing, Im afraid.
The other cell mate rolled her eyes.

The Pure Naturist continues to grow with this continuation of the plot. New developments have been made such as the fact that the other cell mate at the end of the previous excerpt now has a name: Justice. The story is starting to get closer to introducing the concept of magick and a few additional themes: Wicca, homosexuality and political unrest. There are many misconceptions between nudism, homosexuality, and Wicca and this part of the story addresses them. Additionally, the plot draws closer to reuniting Emily with long forgotten family. I don't doubt that most members on this board aren't nudists but in this story, nudism and magick go hand in hand with eachother and the continuation of the plot proves how. So without further ado:
So whats with the Steven Gough? April asked.
The Steven Who? Emily asked, confused.
Steven Gough, you know. That Royal Marine who quit his job and went hiking somewhere in the nude?
They talked for what Justice perceived as hours over this mysterious man, the criminalization of innocent nudity, and the rest of world culture.
Enough is enough! the aggressive cell mate jumped.
They both looked at her.
What is this? Pre-School? Im tired of hearing about these history lessons, culture crap and all your filthy nudist ****!
Whos filthier? The human body, or textiles whose body and skin health is compromised by their constant wearing of clothes.
*****, my clothes have nothing to do with my health!
Oh yea? You might be changing your clothes 3 times a day, but you still have dead material entombing your skin.
The argument went on for the same amount of time as the original conversation.
I said knock it off!!! The prison guard was a man, banging on the bars. They ignored him. They got louder as the guard continued to bang on the bars. Suddenly the cellmate lunged at April, while Emily stood with her back against the wall, irritated beyond her deepest frustration.
The wall crumbled, exposing the outside. Justice looked and immediately bolted.
Emily turned around.
Wait! called out April, If you run, theyll be hunting you. You dont have long here. Just wait it out!
What about you?
Im innocent. They mistook me for a killer. When they find out they have the wrong girl, theyll let me go.
Emily heeded her advice and stayed put as the guards secured the hole. There was only one male guard.
Having shown the Justice System respect by restraining yourself and as this was your first incidence of indecent exposure, I hereby drop the charges against Emily Porter. Case dismissed. The judge was so casual in his speaking; he seemed bored out of his mind in the courtroom.
Emily sat back down and waited for her friends trial.
April Helmsy, approach the bench.
April abided.
As we have verified that you were falsely accused of being the murderer Olivia Brakaster through DNA evidence, I hereby release you from custody and drop all charges.
Thank you, youre honor.
Dont thank me, Im doing my job.
Yes, your honor, thanks.
So what do you think about that wall caving? April asked as they were walking out the court room.
Im not sure Emily said, having discreet thoughts and theories.
I saw how tough you are, but I dont think youre that tough.
Emily paused.
Like in pushing it out with your back.
Think we should ask someone?
I got a better idea.
She pulled out a newspaper from a nearby dispenser after putting $5 in. The paper detailed that the wall appeared to cave in from its own weight. Building inspectors are studying the area for faulty structure. But there is no evidence of it being pushed, pulled or assaulted in any way.
So where are you off to? April asked in preparation of parting.
Back to the woods, I guess. Its the only place I fit in. These people dont want me around.
No, its just the nudity that they dont want around.
Nudity is part of who I am! Emily exclaimed, Its who we all are under these miserable clothes. Its just that the rest of this culture cant see this. Did you see how miserable that judge looked?
Judges are always miserable. Its part of the job, April quickly returned.
So you see how I have no place in this world?
Those words sounded like suicidal thinking to April, even though Emily really meant the world of human culture.
Look, come crash at my place. Until society wakes up, we have to hide.
They talked a little longer until Emily finally agreed.
If youll let me enjoy my humanity in your home and I suppose you probably want your clothes back.
Nah, you keep them. April protested. You have to wear something before the dogs start chasing?
The prudes? Emily wondered.
No, the horny textile men.
They approached Aprils car.
But there is something April paused, something you need to know about me.
Emily paused.
Im a lesbian, April continued with hesitation.
Is there supposed to be something wrong with that? Ive heard about homosexual people. They seem harmless, unless I am mistaken...
No, no, no April quickly returned, Youre right, we are harmless, which is why the nudist and homosexual community has respect for each other. We share similar adversity and understand what it means to be outcast.
After the drive home, they entered the house and mutually freed themselves.
So have you always been lesbian? Emily questioned, trying to be respectful.
Dont be so timid, April consoled, My lesbianism is something that I have come to terms with. In fact, Im quite proud to be who I am, just as you are proud to be independent.
There never really was any kind of pride for me, Emily responded neutrally, My life has always just been a normal part of nature.
That would probably be because pride as it exists today is a cultural concept.
If your definition of pride is appreciation for something good a person has or is, then I am proud of my senses. Im proud that I can walk, run, swim and climb. Im proud that Im breathing. Im proud that I can have sex, urinate
April cut her off.
Ok, ok, April interrupted with laughter, I get it.
Emily recognized the sarcasm.
Hey its ok, April assured.
So, about
I used to be straight, as they say. I hate that word. April resumed.
Whys that?
Straight implies correctness. The opposite of straight is crooked, or in my case homosexual.
I see. Never thought of it that way.
Most people dont, including homosexuals. But as I was saying, I used to be heterosexual, until I got fed up with men.
But I saw you lying down next to a man at the beach. I assumed he was your husband.
Husband? That man is gay! Its how we get along so comfortably. See what happens when you assume? You make an *** out of you and me.
Im sorry.
Its a joke, Ill explain it later.
So you get along with women and gay men, but you hate heterosexual men?
Oh no, not at all. I could get along with heterosexual men just as easily as my friend I shared the blanket with
April paused as she rethought that statement and its possible implications. Emily did not catch on to the implications. It was just natural to her.
but heterosexual men as a majority just dont understand what it means to respect a woman. They see me, and all they see is ***.
If its that important to them, cant they just get that from each other? Emily inquired.
They do. In fact, theres a local rape gang the police are trying to catch.
Oh my? Emily panicked.
Oh, you dont have to worry. They only rape men. In fact, two months ago, they jumped a married couple and pushed the woman away.
Thats still really horrible!
Yea. Homosexuals are still suffering maltreatment, and that gang is fuel for the fire.
Not that Im hoping that theyll become more versatile, but why only men?
Same reason Im only intimate with women. Theyre strictly gay. Not all gay men are like that, youve seen that at the beach.
Thats a relief, at least. Was there something that caused homosexuality to become more common?
Yea, the same culture that preaches body shame. As it gets more senseless, men and women keep getting more incompatible. The brainwashing that my Gramps was talking about preaches that men wear more clothing, and women wear less.
Ive seen that! Emily quickly responded. I never did understand why men wear shorts that look like pants in preparation of a flood, and they wear pants that cover their shoes. I understand that the loose effect of the baggy shirts and pants can help more air flow, but why wear anything at all if youre hot?
People are disgusted by the genitals.
Whats so disgusting about them? Its just flesh and skin and its still there whether they see it or not. If they are so ashamed of those petty things, they can cut those members off. It would probably be healthier than suffocating their skin all the time.
April laughed, followed by Emily.
All joking aside, April continued, I dont hate men in general. To do so is narrow minded. But I get offended by their spontaneous remarks like hey baby or lets see some ***. Some of these men are downright repulsive. But our culture promotes sluttiness in men, but condemns the same thing in women. I will not be some tool and ornament. I am my own person.
Not all men are like that. As group-minded as cultural people are, no group could possibly have members that are all alike.
True, but there is one factor that is extremely persistent in men, and you could probably guess what that is.
They over prioritize sex, Emily knew it from what shes seen so far in this culture. Additionally, she flashed back to when the male wolves pursued the female wolf in the woods, Much worse than the animals in the woods.
I dont have much for a sex drive, April continued, The mind control of culture programs them to that extreme. So now they see a woman and they think sex, sex, sex. With men programmed that way, and women programmed just the opposite, men have become so incompatible with women that they often pay for sex.
Thats so pitiful!!! Emilys response was quick, but sympathetic, I really feel sorry for those men.
Oh, theyre not even ashamed of it, April continued, They feel proud that they were able to get some *** one way or another. Thats just another part of this twisted culture. Women get ridiculed as men get applauded for doing the same thing.
Thats even more pitiful, Emily sighed, feeling great remorse for the opposite gender.
And that, Emily, is why I am a lesbian, April concluded, Its the most self-respecting kind of orientation a woman can be these days.
Chapter 6: Reunion
The next day, April was on her laptop.
Thank you for letting me stay, Emily said as she approached.
Its no problem, then she looked at her new friend, Why did you spend most of your life in the woods?
Its always been my home.
But what about your parents? Not your foster parents, but your real parents. Do you talk to them?
Ive never known them, Emily Lamented.
Im going to show you a nifty little thing about the internet, a little something called People Search.
And so they browsed for a bit until something stopped them.
Damn! April complained, Internets down again. It does this all the time.
Emily wondered if it was just not meant to be.
Why dont you go to the local University. They have computers with better internet service.
Thank you, April. Ill do that.
Emily got dressed and stepped outside. She walked along the side of the apartment. Houses were a rare sight due to frequent foreclosures. After she walked just past the building, a mans voice spoke casually to her.
Good afternoon, Miss Porter.
She turned around. The man looked partially Hispanic, and his attention was clearly directed to her. His speaking seemed very sophisticated. He was standing next to the very wall she just walked passed.
Do I know you?
I am Jay Raptor, the man said, his tone still casual.
How do you know me?
There is little that escapes me, Miss Porter, he returned, But it doesnt help your anonymity to have your incarceration publicized in the newspaper.
So they put me in the spotlight as an example?
To the rest of the sheep, yes, Jay responded.
Emily was surprised to hear him use that terminology. The brainwashed rarely recognize themselves as brainwashed. But this man, like her, did not seem to manifest himself into the uniformity of culture.
They are not concerned with the inmates soiled reputation or the damnation of their chances of employment, Jay continued, This often results in increased crime.
Emily paused, thinking of the immorality of this.
So they feel that if the system rejects them, then its only fair that they rebel against the system, Emily returned.
Evil breeds evil, Miss Porter. Do not let yourself be corrupted by your specialties. Jay was straightforward, but his suggestion was vague,
Emily flashed back to when the jail wall crumbled.
Good day, Miss Porter.
It was clear that he ended the conversation, so she stepped off. She looked back, but the man had disappeared just as mysteriously as he had appeared.
Meanwhile, in the offended womans house, the kids came through the door. The woman erupted like a volcano.
James!!! The mother burst.
What!!! the boy mouthed off.
What is this **** about the school telling me you brought porn to school?
Oh, yea, the boy announced proudly, I downloaded it off the internet and showed it to my friends. Im the cool kid in school now.
How the hell does that make you cool?
Because its bad. And bad is in.
The woman snapped to her feet and practically threw herself at her son. He got a spanking and sent to bed.
I hate mom! the boy said to his sister over a cell phone in his room.
I know, right? Shes such a *****!
Hey James said more quietly.
Yeah? his sister responded.
You want to piss her off? Really piss off Mom?
Yeah! she responded enthusiastically.
Shhhhhhh! he quickly returned to remind of the need to be quiet.
Minutes later, the woman fell out of her chair to see her daughter chasing her son through the house naked. They were both laughing.
Emily approached the University. She browsed around, looking for signs to lead her to her intended destination.
The children had been crying again, clearly reintroduced to the paddal. But now they have recovered.
Mom, why did we really leave America? And when is Daddy coming home.
Because its gotten stupid there! She was irritated.
But youre stupid, so whats the difference!
The woman erupted again. Arguing ensued for about 10 minutes.
Whens Daddy coming home! the boy repeated, even more frustrated.
Hes not!
The boy and girl froze.
Your Daddy is not on deployment! He was killed by the very people he swore to defend. People right back there in America who hacked his chip.
It was a shocking revelation that they were not prepared for. They remained frozen. Members of the military were the first to be outfitted with the RFID chip.

Moments after Antoine Clark pulls open the back of the delivery truck holding more than 25,000 copies of his hip-hoppers-and-hustlers magazine, F.E.D.S. (Finally Every Dimension of the Streets), a man clad in a basketball jersey jumps into the back, yelling, "Where are my copies?" Clark is accustomed to strong reactions to his graphic profiles of drug kingpins and unguarded interviews with hip-hop icons like Funkmaster Flex -- Mary J. Blige requested that he personally deliver the new "all-women issue" to her midtown hotel room -- but this particular F.E.D.S. fanatic surprises even him. Sean "Puffy" Combs is the guy gleefully hopping up and down inside the truck parked outside Clark's office on lower Fifth Avenue. After proclaiming that "F.E.D.S. is the hottest shit in the streets!" Combs rushes off to a nearby business meeting, carefully cradling a stack of issues.
While Clark enjoys the patronage of the hip-hop gentry, he also has been reaping the rewards of a wider readership: Harper's has excerpted two of Clark's interviews; the magazine recently landed on Vanity Fair's and Rolling Stone's hot lists; and after selling nearly 100,000 copies of issue No. 4, Clark signed a six-figure book deal with HarperCollins. Dave Mays, publisher of The Source, wanted to buy into F.E.D.S., but Clark, 31, insists that he "won't give up the magazine. I want to try my struggles alone."
Clark knows a lot about struggles: After dropping out of high school, he was shot during an altercation at the Skate Key roller rink in the Bronx. During his convalescence, he came up with the idea for F.E.D.S. His inspiration? Not a gory true-crime 'zine or the gangster novels of Iceberg Slim but the reporting in Time. "I wanted a magazine with every element of the streets," Clark says. "I wanted rappers in there, too, but I didn't want them on the cover, because that's entertainment." When potential investors balked at his insistence that underworld figures appear on the cover of every issue of F.E.D.S., Clark used $7,000 he earned securing a record deal for a hip-hop act he managed and printed 5,000 copies of the first issue himself in late 1999. It ran to sixteen pages, contained no advertising -- and quickly sold out at $3.50 per copy.
Subsequent issues featuring crack dealer Alberto "Alpo" Martinez and heroin kingpin Nicky Barnes also sold out, causing some readers -- often the magazine's many fans in prison -- to interpret F.E.D.S. as the consummate catalogue of criminal mischief. But Clark maintains that he's only interested in telling the stories of hustlers who've faced consequences for their actions. His advice for criminals interested in being featured in F.E.D.S.? "Let readers know what you did, that you got caught and it's killing you. If you don't give it to me like that, I'm not gonna print it."
Clark is just as impatient with music-industry executives who try to use F.E.D.S. to build street cred for their artists. "Bad Boy president Andre Harrell just asked me to put Shyne on the cover," Clark says testily, referring to the rapper who, along with Combs, is charged with a shooting at Club New York last December. "Shyne's out on the street -- he's out there doing a video. What is that gonna show kids if I put him on the cover?"
F.E.D.S.'s fast ascension as a hard-core hip-hop showcase hasn't been lost on the competition. After failing to buy a piece of the magazine, Dave Mays has scored a deal to produce Fedsmagazine.com, which will also provide F.E.D.S. content to The Source's Website. Just outside a Park Avenue South newsstand, a few minutes after the Puffy encounter, Mays runs into Clark and is eager to compliment F.E.D.S. "It's raw, real, and honest," he says, eyeballing the stacks of magazines before adding hesitantly, "Maybe I can have a copy?"

Chris Brown stepped out of rehab on Sunday to host a charity toy drive at the Brooklyn Projects shop in Los Angeles. Brown was helped out with fellow celebrity friends Tyga and Kevin Hart as they collected toys for the less fortunate.
Brown donated clothing from his own Black Pyramid line and skateboarded with some of the kids that showed up.
During the event Brown also posed for pictures with fans and took to Twitter to say, "Thank you to all the fans who brought gifts for the kids today. Have a wonderful holiday. You've made a merry Christmas for a young child!"
I will say this…after Brown was sentenced to 90 days in rehab, he definitely looks better. He looks calmer and he looks healthy.
Brown is in rehab for anger management.
Keep it up Chris!
Brown is due back in court in February.

Long-term social isolation enhances spontaneous motor activity, and induces aggressive behavior in mice and rats. However, underlying mechanisms of such behavioral changes remain unclear. We preliminary reported that an antidepressant drug desipramine (DMI) enhanced aggressive behavior in isolated mice (Matsumoto et al., Pharmacol.Biochem.Behav., 39, 167, 1991). In this study, we investigated functional changes in central noradrenergic system caused by social isolation. Male ddY mice were isolated for 6-7 weeks before experiments. When testing aggressive, two isolated mice were placed in a neutral cage. The total duration of biting attacks and/or wrestling observed during a 20-min period was measured. Antidepressants with ability to block noradrenaline (NA) uptake in the brain enhanced aggressive behavior at lower doses. The effects of these drugs were blockd by an a2 adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine, but not alpha1 adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin, suggesting an involvement of alpha2 adrenoceptors in antidepressant enhancement of aggressive behavior. Moreover, a beta-adrenoceptor atntagonist propranolol and a beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist ICIII8551 dose-dependently blockd the effect of DMI without affecting the basal aggressive behavior, while a beta1-adrenoceptor antagonist metprolol failed to affect the effect of desipramine. Clenbuterol, a selective beta2-agonist, enhanced aggressive behavior in isolated mice. Taken together, these results indicated that alpha2- and beta2-adrenoceptor stimulation by NA plays important roles in enhancement of aggressive behavior. Then, we tested effect of a neurotoxin DSP-4 on the aggressive behavior in isolated mice. This toxin is known to selectively degnerate noradrenergic terminals originating from locus coeruleus. DSP-4 treatment did not affect the basal aggressive behavior, but it attenuated the DMI enhancement of aggressive behavior. Thus, these results show the possibility that the activity of locus coeruleus noradrener

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
Now, now you can't expect me to write about Chuck Norris without including a fact! So what is it exactly about Chuck Norris that I have to tell you? Well you know the man is in THE EXPENDABLES 2, and he recently conducted an interview where he was asked about it. The video is not in English, however the peeps over at Expendables Premiere managed to get a translation.
Excuse the weird sounding English … "Playing in this movie was a lot of fun. I play a super hero, who saves everybody's life." That sounds pretty cool right?
Well this next part isn't so cool … "In Expendables 2, there was a lot of vulgar dialogue in the screenplay. Fot this reason, many young people wouldn't be able to watch this. But i don't play in movies like this. Due to that i said i won't be a part of that if the hardcore language is not ereased. Producers accepted my conditions and the movie will be classified in the category of PG-13."
Now wait a second, the original film was balls to the walls hardcore with everything. Are you telling me they were forced to tone it all down for a PG-13 film in order to have Chuck Norris? What does this mean for the film? Is it going to be as badass as the original? How much was compromised? I am not sure I am a fan of this, I understand though that Chuck has his morals and doesn't want to contradict his beliefs but this is pretty huge. I guess we shall wait and see what the film gets rated by the MPAA, but if it is as what Chuck says, expect a PG-13.
The Expendables are back and this time it's personal... Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries.
But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time -- six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way...

Report on the outcomes of a consultation looking at visual intervention with a student identified as being Dyspraxic and dyslexic.
This particular post is I believe of considerable importance; it is a detailed analysis / deconstruction of the response of one individual to changes in the presentation of text on a computer screen. This could have been any adult but the graphs would have different peaks. About half of the students show a negative response to red reduction rather than a positive response. Other posts will supply more general background to the ideas. The comments on visual span are highly relevant to the emerging research that was reported at the Oxford event.
The student was referred as part of her Disabled Student's allowance.
The student was diagnosed as Dyslexic/Dyspraxic.
The consultation was to ascertain visually associated intervention to ameliorate her difficulties with text.
- Background
- Focussing issues, Optical correction
- Font size, image size, reading distance orthoptic/convergence issues.
- Reading speed and stamina
- Crowding.
- Visual span
- Screen luminosity and colour,
- Memory issues
- Summary of interventions
- Comparisons of eye movements in default and optimal conditions.
Background information.
The student was first diagnosed with ophthalmic problems at the age of 7 years. Since then there has been a progressive change in her prescription which is to be expected.
She has correction for myopia (short sight) and for astigmatisms in both eyes. The correction for her left eye is greater than for her right eye.
She has been told that her left eye is suppressed (there is difficulty processing visual information with data from her left eye. If she covers her right eye the image is less clear than if she covers her left eye.
When reading for extended periods she often…
- Covers her left eye
- Turns her head sideways (turning towards the right).
- If using a computer, increases the size of the text using the 'zoom' facilities on the computer.
- Becomes very tired giving her very short work periods and needing longer and longer rest/recovery times. These work periods are only a few minutes.
- Becomes increasingly, easily distracted.
- Experiences upper body and neck discomfort.
The consultation concentrated on identifying these issues quantitatively and identifying strategies to reduce/remove these barriers to studying.
Outcomes of the Consultation.
Focussing issues, Optical correction
Using her glasses, which she uses continuously, the correction for her right eye appears to leave distance vision still too difficult.
This implies that the correction is too weak for distance vision. A bifocal correction might be a solution.
The astigmatism correction appears to be correct for both eyes.
The vision from her left eye is still compromised at far and near as would be expected with monocular visual suppression.
This asymmetry in visual performance would give rise to distance judging problems at far and near. This would give 'clumsiness' characteristics at far and near which would mimic dyspraxia.
There is visual data being collected by the left eye which would assist in distance judging but 'at near', when reading or writing.
There is evidence from the eyetracking data that the left eye data is further suppressed leading to increased suppression of the left eye and increased and fluctuating fixation disparity between the two eyes. This is reduced by the head turning but not prevented.
The head turning would also give rise to upper body and neck discomfort as small movements would occur as a reflex in trying to overcome the diplopia.
She experiences diplopia (double vision effects) when reading or viewing near objects. The diplopia is greater if the object is nearer. The further away the object is the less the diplopia.
Using the larger fonts the distance from the text increases, reduces this effect.
(Diplopia occurs when the two eyes are focussed (fixated) at points too far apart (fixation disparity) so that the visual system is unable to compute a single perception (image). In all people there is some disparity and this is part of efficient vision. But if it is too great then the visual system is incapable of the computation of a single image. This is referred to as 'insufficent fusional reserves.. and is associated with the idea of 'convergence insufficiency'.
If the system can intermittently 'fuse the data' or the disparity keeps varying and data from one eye is not continually suppressed then the person gets a perception of unstable or wobbling text or the whole visual scene appears to wobble… Oscillopsia. To reduce this effect some people keep 'wobbling their heads subconsciously which can give rise to nausea and neck/upper body/back aches.
Reading speed
Changing the font size affects her reading speed as shown in the graph below. This will be in response to a combination of the following effects.
- Changing reading distance.
- Changing crowding effects(ability of the system to compute the edges of the letters)
- Changing the distance for the eyes to travel between words./ changing the demand on the eye muscles.
The first two of these will affect the number of letters which she can 'see'( perceive) in each fixation, her visual span. Recent research has shown this to the controlling factor in reading speed for many people.
( please remember the reading speed is a measure of phonological output as a response to changing visual input)
Using the bigger font size increases the image size on her retina, this would reduce crowding effects and allow the processing of more letters at once (parallel processing). Too big a letter size will move the target fpor the next saccade too far into the peripheral retina ( away from the fovea) reducing the accuracy of the saccade, slowing the reading down.
On default (font 12) the visual span is averaging 1.60 letters. A person with no difficulties will be processing 10+ letters per fixation
When using her optimal conditions. There were initially 3.3 characters per fixation . This is more than a 100% improvement.
In the last line, however, the number of fixations was 14 for 79 characters That is 5.6 letters per fixation.
There is a continual gain in the size of the visual span as she reads with optimal conditions and this is reflected in the improving reading rate the more she reads, as in the graph below taken from the eyetracking data.
We can compare this to changing reading rate when reading in default conditions in the graph below..
Combining the two graphs makes the difference in reading performance very clear.
These reading performance graphs reflect the changing visual span as the reading period changes. Visual span can be considered as controlling reading performance rather than controlled by reading performance. As the visual system gets 'stressed' the visual span decreases to the point where the process becomes to difficult to make use of the process. This is likely to be a component of her reading stamina problem.
Memory issues
If a person has a short visual span, then the number of bits of visual data needed to 'read' a sentence will be much greater than for someone with the 'normal visual span' .To read and comprehend a sentence would make a much greater demand for working memory from the 'central executive'( Alan Baddeley's model) leaving reduced resources for comparison of the concepts intrinsic in the sentence with the concepts in long term memory. Other /additional memory strategies would be needed. Study time would need to be greater.
By increasing the visual span, memory difficulties, when reading should be ameliorated.
The decreasing reading speed in default reading conditions and associated limited reading stamina consequence, would further limit her total read/study time.
Reading speed, screen pixel luminosity
Overall screen brightness.
There is a relationship for The student between overall screen brightness and reading performance. This can be seen in the graph above.
The total amount of light entering her eyes is controlled by her pupil dilation. This reflex is designed to optimise the rate at which the photons are captured by the pigment molecules in the cone cells of her retinas; but it is controlled by ambient lighting intensity. There may be a difference between the optimal intensity landing on her fovea ( centre of focus of the images on the retina) and the peripheral retina. We do not know. In her case when font size has been optimised this is now limiting her reading performance.
158/255 is the brightness used for the rest of the testing..
Changing the green pixel brightness
As the green pixels are dimmed then the rate at which the green pigment in the green cone cells gets bleached is reduced. This will lead to a change in nerve impulse generation. Possibly to an increase in crowding effects and reduced visual span for The student .
Changing the red pixel brightness
This is completely different to the effect of changing the green component. Although in a way we are really still changing the ratio of red : green stimulation.This ratio is the basis of the colour vision /colour recognition process which must ultimately be based on changing the impulses per second delivering information to the visual cortex and hence the mediator in object edge detection..visual processing.
This graph shows clearly the mathematical relationship between the ratio of green to red pixel brightness and the reading performance of The student .
All the red:green optimisation to this point has been undertaken with the blue value set at 158 as determined by the initial screen brightness study.
Changing the blue pixel brightness.
The cone cells containing the blue sensitive pigment are not found in the centre of the fovea. There is a response to changing the blue pixel brightness but often very little and there appears to be a change with use of the background on screen for reading.
There is good research evidence that the amount of blue light affects the magnocellular system particularly ( see research by John Stein al.). The red/green ratio is likely to be more associated with the 'parvocellular system', the edge detection system; the system which collects the data to identify the 'object being looked at'/receiving attention.
The graph below shows the effect on one aspect of reading performance (scanning). However, in terms of visual clarity when using an overlay or reading The student , preferred not to have the blue reduced. As such a cyan overlay closely mimicking the optimal red green ratio was provided for her to use with printed material. Looking at the graph about reducing the red, it must be remembered that if the cyan filter removed too much red then this 'same colour' would start to limit her reading performance, similarly if the cyan did not remove enough red then there would only be a partial benefit to her. The computer screen setting will provide the optimal red/ green.
On her computer screen she has the option of using a low blue ( green looking!) screen or the optimal red:green screen ( grey/Cyan).
In two months time a second consultation will determine changes in her visual system's need and then precisely coloured prescription glasses mimicking her optimal screen settings can be provided as an alternative to overlays or screen colour management.
The student needs the following interventions to optimise /maximise her reading performance.
- Printed material where possible printed at font 21.
- Where possible all documents to be provided electronically to enable optimal reading conditions.
- To be able to make use of her cyan overlay whenever appropriate.
- In lectures meetings, to be able to sit to the left of the main centre of visual attention to minimise distractibility.
- At the next consultation the possible provision of optimally tinted prescription glasses .
Comparison of eye movements using default conditions and optimal conditions.
With default conditions the distance between the two graphs keeps changing. Whereas with the optimal conditions it stays more consistent.
If we look at the more detailed graphs, shorter time periods the difference between the two conditions is clearer.
Graph showing the detail of saccades and fixations by both eyes using optimal conditions for a 2 second period for comparison with a 2 second period using default conditions.
The graph shows that both eyes are in general working together. If this is compared with the eye movements when reading on default it is easily seen that the left eye is hardly saccading.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 1,500 A.O Smith-brand gas water heaters due to a safety hazard. The CPSC said the natural and propane gas water heaters' flue temperatures can exceed safe limits, posing a fire hazard. Also the water heater's exhaust can leak into surrounding rooms, producing a carbon monoxide hazard. The 75-gallon water heaters, manufactured by the A.O. Smith Water Products Co. of Ashland City, Tenn., have "A.O. Smith" or "State" printed on the side of the unit. The A.O. Smith and State models and serial numbers included in the recall are available at http://www.hotwater.com/recall.html. The U.S. manufactured water heaters were sold nationwide from November 2007 through January 2008 for between $1,000 and $2,500. Consumers can contact the company at 866-880-4661 to arrange for a free repair.

Which Are The Best Adjustable Beds in Carson City NV?
In addition to replacement mattresses that are adjustable you can also get sleeper sofas that are adjustable. A few pertaining to the price tags for all of these products are noted below merely so that you can get a clear idea of what you can expect to pay to get an adjustable bed, mattress or frame:
Pillow Top Reversible Mattress
The Empress mattress is a normal pillow top mattress for adjustable beds using the workhorse 312 coil innerspring. It uses an off white Damask cover with a open quilt design. Pillow top lies on both sides of the mattress for prolonged use. Begins at $500 and increases in price with the size.
Premier Mattress Bed
Totally personalized alternatives and features. Innerspring luxury possibilities in soft, medium or extra firm. The best sleep position concerning the head and feet is literally within reach with simple to use hand controls and the Premier's Swift-Adjust motors. The Premier style comes standard with a high-density foam foundation and heavy-duty base put together with material that definitely will not warp, break or squeak. Starts off at approximately $1500 for a plush top twin and obviously goes higher with price. One of the most steeply-priced one I checked out was for approximately $4k and it was a king Firm Talalay Latex Core with Plush Quilted Cover. By all means, these can get expensive but they seem extremely comfortable!
Adjustable Bed
Adjustable Bed & Pillow Top Mattress cost about $3k and the much smaller selections begin at around $600.The following is actually a description I got concerning one online: Dual King Lifestyles E-91 adjustable bed comes with a ireless and computerized massage. It has a Comes with Sleep worthy Pillow Top mattresses. Adjustable beds guard and further enhance sleeping and relaxation.
Naturally with whatever you buy just about anywhere (offline or online) there is invariably going to be a price variance but that's to be expected. Supposing that you get a twin bed obviously its going to cost a lot less than a giant king bed! These particular things ought to be thoughtabout anytime you are looking into beds, in addition to how much space you have. Just because you would like a king doesn't mean youmay have room for it, specifically with the adjustables considering often times they can end up being rather huge when it comes to size!
Did you find this short article informative? Do not hesitate to share this article with your family and friends, that reside in Carson City NV. You never know when they might be looking to buy an adjustable bed frame in Carson City NV.
