The Green Letters

[Barry Lee]

I previously wrote a story and I didnt like the looks of it, but this is something I'm sticking with. I have been getting real inspired by the Twilight Zone and other thrillers, I wanted to create something different, focusing on mystery, love, happiness, sadness, and color. So enjoy this, and please respond if you want more. I am also thinking about making this a part of a saga collection.

The Green Letters
------------------------------------

​

"My Uncle, is my hero. Ever since I was born he has taught me to be proud of who I am, proud of being a frog, and proud of being green. I have and always will look up to him, he has made me into the little frog I am today, and I'm so grateful for that."

As the 3 foot frog finished his speech in the elementary auditorium, a roar of hands conjoined continuously making a joyful applause. In the back his uncle stood with a tear dropping down his beady eye as he wiped it off his face and portrayed a blushing smile.

Chapter 1
The American Way

"Mr. Frog, why is the Swedish Chef singing Yankee Doodle with the Alaskan Penguin Choir and the Russian Rat Orchestra?" said a blueish eagle facing his razor sharp looking beak to the throat of the helpless leader, as he points his one brow down in a narrow fashion.

"Well, Sam" gulped the frog, "its the Muppets what do you expect?" as the frog smirked while his collar was pointing up with raging nerves.

As the backstage of the theater was a clutter, a young man dashed to the boss, as his orange hair flew like flames at 100 mph. He ran up to the bosses desk, bonking onto Sam's feathers, as the eagle made a frustrating grunt.

"Kermit! Where has our mail been lately, wasnt it supposed to arrive yesterday?" as the out of breath gofer panted, trying to catch onto his sentences.

"Well Scooter, Ms. Piggy hired Bernie the Mailman as her agent, so now Robin & Sweetums are handling the mail. So its going to arrive sometime during today." Kermit explained to Scooter patting him on the back, trying to calm Scooter down.

Scooter breaths a sigh of relief, as a fading noise on stage reveals a thunder of applause, Sam rolls his eyes and drags his feet onto his office. As the Swedish Chef, Penguins, and the Rats clitter clatter there feet onto the fragile wooden floors. Kermit compliments them on their act, with a foreign response.

Just as the crowd of singers, and dancers put foot on the backstage, the backstage rattled as a huge brown, glob with banana yellow eyes and sharp pearly white teeth arrived with a letter.

"Here you go boss, sorry me and Robin just got to the mail center this morning!" the blob grinned as his dark lashes raised.

Kermit grabbed the letter, "It's okay Sweetums," as he opened the envelope and revealed itself. As Kermit began to read, his heart melted, as Sweetums began to notice something strange. Kermit's feet, collapsed.

The hospital was white.
Empty.
The feeling of loneliness comes across in this room. It was different for Kermit, it wasn't comfortable. Just cold and white.
The sounds of beeping kept ringing in Kermit's head, as he awoke from a dream, or more so reality. As Kermit awoke, a man with a beard approached him, with a white suit, and clinging a notepad with is right hand. The man with the beard opens his pale lips, "Are you okay Kermit?" he asks scratching his head.

As Kermit gasps for words, he simply shakes his head, "What day is it, um... um..."

"Just call me Doctor," says the man with the beard quickly as he breaks Kermit's sentence and train of thought. "It is, Tuesday."

"Okay, Doctor. Hmm... The year please?" Kermit's inner mind swirls with questioning, its different to him, he looks around the hospital room, its white, cold, everything reflects, to his left is a television, playing the film "Casablanca." while the television dangles on the roof, beneath lies a coffee maker. As the smell of burnt coffee fills the cold room. He's lying in an uncomfortable, hard mattress. With tubes conjoining to his hand, he looks around with a panic. As the Doctor puts him at ease.
"Don't worry Kermit, I'm here for you. It's 2012."

Its 2012


Its 2012


Its 2012

Its 1955

Its 2006

Its 1979

Its 2012


The news hit Kermit like a lightening strike. As his head kept spinning. The numbers kept twirling insanely in his mind. At a rapid speed.


Its 2012

Its 2012

The voices of that year kept echoing in his mind. It wasnt a sweet sound either, it was almost haunting, as the tornado in his mind kept spinning and spinning.

Its 2012







His mind turned to darkness. As everything slowed down.
"Kermit?"
"Kermit?"
"Kermit?"

The echoes of his name grew softer, and softer.
"YES I AM HERE!" he shouts in his mind, but not a soul will here him. Not at all. Its just dark. Black. Lonely.

"Kermie? Oh Kermieee?"
"KERMIT! I'm now balancing coconut trees as a juggle flame throwers!"
"Kermit I am here for you, we are all, here..."

Chapter 2
Long Long Ago

A light. A light is what Kermit suddenly sees! It zooms (sort of like the opening credits of a 1940's Warner Brothers cartoon, but without the music) His vision is clear. Blades of grass swift by his scrawny legs, as he leans onto a tree. Its kind of cloudy as birds glide above Kermit's head. He looks around to see if finds somebody, anybody he knows.

"Miss Piggy? Gonzo? Scooter? BOPPITY?" he shouts with no luck, the air keeps blowing, as he stands up, he finds himself on a very tall hill. This hill is surrounded by little houses, to his left is a village, and to his right, is a castle. As he moves around, he sees in the distance a moving object, as it comes forward to Kermit, there is a horse, he's black and he gallops swiftly. Sitting on the horse is a man, with a beard.

Well Kermit automatically thinks that its the doctor, as he shouts "DOCTOR! YOUR HERE! YOUR HERE!" he jumps high with glee as the bearded man with lavish tin armor looks at Kermit.

"You must be the new drunk at Sesame!" the man with the beard snares at Kermit as a laughs, continuously.

Kermit thought to himself, he knew he heard the word Sesame somewhere, he automatically thought, HEY im in Sesame Street, this must be some sort of lavish production Prarie Dawn has put on. Kermit runs as the grass flys by him. Breathing heavily he continues to run, onto the town. He catches his breath as he enters a wooden sign, which states "Sesame Town."

As he enters this town, he's greeted by this humongous feathered bird, who is standing by what looks like to be the town's grocery cart, labeled "Ye Ole' Hooper's" along with this cart lies beneath a heap of small little buildings, and stores. All sorts of people are on the streets.

Kermit grins, "BIG BIRD!" he goes with a sigh of relief as he latches onto the bird's feathers.

The bird just laughed. As slowly Kermit garnered attention from the town even more, a blue monster with googly eyes came up next to the bird, as well as two men, one who was sort of fat who had this wooden duck in his hand and the other sort of skinny both in raggedy old knight garb.

"I'm no Big Bird!" as the bird lets go of Kermit, "My name is Elmo the Bird!" Kermit just histarically started to laugh, and laugh, and laugh even more. As Elmo, turned to the blue monster.

"Well Ook, I guess your not the town drunk anymore!" as the bird smiled.

"Oh, me am soooo happy! Time for drink!" Ook the Monster explained as his eyes went all over the place with happiness.


"Hey Bert, can we still be the town jokers?" the wide man said while holding his wooding duck.

"Nooo Ernie!" Bert replied with aggravation as his unibrow faced down.

"You you mean, this isn't Sesame Street? 2008?" Kermit asked in a state of shock.

"No! I cant remember what date we are in, but I know this isn't 2008! I've never even heard of the number!" Elmo the Bird said loudly, as a purple man with white sharp teeth and a cape appeared from the food stand.

"AHH! Its time for me to count, 1,2,3,4..." the man said loudly

"Excuse him, he's the town counter!" said Bert, "I'm Bert, and this is Ernie. The one next to me."

"Ohhh I know that!" Kermit smiled.

"34,35,36,37,38,39..."

Ernie, Bert, Elmo, and Ookie all started staring at Kermit, like some sort of foreign creature yet at the same time, they were all fascinated, so they decided to take Kermit into Ernie & Bert's house. Ookie, and Elmo joined them.

All sitting around a wooden round table, in the house made of mud. The four kept asking questions as Kermits head was being filled with spurs of confusion.

"WAIT! one question..." Kermit shouted as the other four stopped. While Ookie treated himself to an ale. "This bearded man with a horse, was talking to me before I seen you guys again, I mean, met you guys, and the man with the beard, looked exactlly like my doctor! Do you know who he is?"

"Well he may be one of me drinking buddies!" Ookie shouted as a wiffed another drink into the pit of his dark deep mouth.

It got dark in the mind of Kermit the Frog again, as his mind started spinning. The tornado returned, it was pitch black again, as sounds of silence arose from his head.

"Kermit?"
"Kermit?"

Not this again Kermit thought. Just when Kermit was about to get answers about the bearded man, he went back into the dark. Inside he was crying. Kermit suddenly saw a curtain, out of the pitch black. It was raised.

The Electric Mayhem?
He thought.

There they were, Animal on the drums, Floyd on bass, Janice on the flute, Zoot on the sax, and Dr. Teeth, on the keyboard.

"1! 2! 3! GO GO GO!" Animal shouted as a funky beat surrounded Kermit's mind. He was a little weary of the fact that he wasn't awake and that the Electric Mayhem is imprinted in his brain.

"This one is for you Kermit." the man with the shiny gold tooth glimmeredly said.

Kermit listens closely.

As the good Doctor sings:

Well Here you are,
Here I am,
Welcome to the wonderland,
of love
of life
of peace, death, dove.
Medieval castles shooting above.
Bearded man
Magic hat
Laughing together
Stupid rat.
Here you are
Here I am
I'm a star
and your a clam.

The bass music ends with a nice riff.

"Wait, Doctor Teeth what does that mean? Beaded Man? Magic Hat? Rat? Flat? Scat?" Kermit ended up getting more questions then answered. As the curtains are closed.

Its dark again.
