In the spirit of Halloween, we decided to publish this short story to our blog, written by our friends at Live Offroad… So without further adieu, (curtain call) please enjoy this classic tale of horror! We proudly present to you….
Jeepinstein’s MONSTER!
He died a hero serving America…born of a people who fight for what they believe in. “We do not give up! We do not slow down! We go fast!”
~ Sgt. Max Bahtkicker, (or as we all knew him)….MB.
Dr. Jeepenstein –“Yjor!, I need a body for my project. Project JK must be! We must get the corpse now!”
Dr. Jeepinstein and Yjor drove through the dark and erie streets of Kwasville in search of the cemetary plot from which the dead will once again live…
Dr. Jeepinstein – “Offroad Yjor!, I said go offroad!”
Yjor – “Yes, Doctor…”
Dr. Jeepenstein – “I believe this narrow jagged rock path gives way to the back entrance of his tomb.”
Yjor – “Master?”
Dr. Jeepensten – “Yes Yjor”
Yjor – “You mean the narrow rock path past the raging waterfall, boulder-field, and just across that treacherous quicksand?”
Dr. Jeepinstein – “Yes Yjor. Rubi con do it.” His tomb is here. We must exume him! Hurry…”
Yjor – “Master?”
Yjor points squarely to nine small depressions on the front of the grave.
Dr. Jeepinstein – “Step aside Yjor. Tink. Tink. He is here! Yjor, prepare the winch! To his corpse – “You are mine now. I WILL bring you back… back from the dead! Hurry, Yjor! We must get him back to the lab before we are discovered… Back to the LAB!”
Dr. Jeepinstein, Yjor, Rubi and the remains of what is to become infamous make their way along the road leading to the castle.
Back at the Castle…
Dr. Jeepinstein – “Yjor, prepare yourself for the greatest and most excellent thing that has ever happened to Jeep-Kind! Raise the platform! Initiate life status from CJ1 to CJ8!” (Lightning CRACKS!) Yjor, switch life status from CJ8 to Wrangler!”
Yjor – “But Master!?!”
Dr. Jeepinstein – “DO IT NOW! To WRANGLER status, Yjor!! (CRACK! Pop! CRACK! – Mechanical hissing) AAHHAAHHH! (Cracking sounds – the smell of something burning) “Bring him down! Bring him down!” (The doctor’s cries echo through the castle…)
The smell of burnt rubber and the stench of death overwhelms the room. Red hot metal pulsates from the once lifeless corpse, as he is now alive!
Dr. Jeepinstein – “He’s ALIVE – ALIVE! Yjor, he’s ALIVE! I, Dr. T.J, Jeepinstein have done it! – Rise JK – Rise! I have given you a new life. I am your father, and you are my son. — Yjor, he’s going to speak.”
Jeepinstein’s Monster, JK: “Faaaa..therrrrrrr. Faaaaatherrrrrr” (his sorrowful bellows penetrate the castle walls)
Dr. Jeepinstein – “Yjor we must help him up.”
JK: “Father, I can go fast! I can!”
Dr. Jeepinstein – “You must go slow at first, son. The world is not ready for you…yet.”
JK: “FAST! FAST! I MUST GO FAST!”
Dr. Jeepinstein – “Yjor get back! He’s mad! He’s MAD! Run for your life….I can no longer stop him!”
Dr. Jeepinstein and Yjor were no match for the JK. A massive brute, irrevocably raised from the ashes of the dead and capable of destroying all in his path, he was a true MONSTER! In little time, JK plunged through the castle walls and was freed into the world at large.
Dr. Jeepinstein – “Yjor what did I do wrong? Was it the oil transfusion? Where did I go wrong?! Where, I say?”
Yjor – “Master?”
Dr. Jeepinstein – “You are RiGHT! He must be destroyed! He must not be allowed to reach humanity! Come Yjor, we must find him!”
Meanwhile, JK was fast approaching Kwasville. The sheer ferocity from his newly overhauled heart and body was such that you could see JK’s dust cloud billowing in the distance. As he neared the city, a dim rumble turned to a thunderous roar. The people of Kwasville, not understanding what was happening, entered into the streets, when what they saw shook them to their very cores.
Someone in the crowd shouted – “A jeep with four doors! NO, IT CAN”T BE! FOUR DOORS!! HE”S A MONSTER!!!”
The giant opened his mouth and bellowed in a deep, flowmastery voice….”I am JK! I GO FAST! I GO FAST!!!”
A familiar voice rang out from the crowd – “JK, I am your father! You are my son!”
The monster lowered his rpms and looked. It was Dr. Jeepinstein.
JK – (mournfully) “Father…Father! I GO Fast!”
Dr. Jeepinstein – “Yes you do, son, you go fast.”
Just then someone threw a rock and hit JK right in the eye. The monster reared back and let out an atomic roar that shattered all the windows of the world. Anger turbocharged through his new heart and in a spark of fire, he disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to Jeepinstein’s Monster. Some say if you go into the mountains on Hallow’s Eve, when the creatures are quiet, you can still hear him roaring –“Father, I Go Fast!!!”
As for Dr. Jeepinstein and Yjor – they are still trying to repay the city for damages.
