I Was Nostardamus
[Or I Didnt See That Coming]
There was a cold sensation across Kite`s face , and He opened his eyes to find myself in a dark dungeon and surrounded by a monk waving a crucifix about and several men with black masks ,and he did`nt think they were going to a fancy dress party .
" oh dear " he thought .
10 Years Earlier ( think Pulp Fiction )
Kite was woken up by a loud bang , and he looked at the clock ,it was 2.30 in the morning .
"Jesus Albert, is that you falling out of bed again ?"he shouted .
No reply
He got up and went to Albert`s room , he was sound asleep and Eric was lying on Albert's chest slowly going up and down with the rhythm of Albert's breathing .
Then another noise that came from the back garden, Kite quickly got dressed and ran down stairs and unlocked the back door and went into the garden and he could see that the shed door was open .
Kite took a deep breath and tried a few moves that Bruce Lee would have laughed his socks off at the he ran into the shed
He felt something hit the back of his head and like a stone dropped to the floor
He could here voices that sounded like two men
" what sort of shed is this with no tools ?" said one voice
" Lets get out of here "
"Yeah nothing but a piece of junk and a tea pot " said the other .
The door closed .
With his head spinning Kite clambered to his feet and leaned on the control panel his head spun again
He slowly with his fingers touched the back of his head and brought them back round to his fuzzy eye sight and thank God there was no blood and then fainted .
It seemed hours later when Kite woke up and opened the door and he was in a courtyard and then blanked out again .
He opened his eyes and found himself in bed
"Bonjour are you alright Michel ?"said a woman who was at the foot of the bed .
"Sorry , what did you call me ?"
"Are you not Michel Nostradamus ?"
" I... erm ...I don`t remember how I got here and I don`t know my name at this moment in time and that name seems to ring a bell .
"Well we`ve been expected you today and you was in the courtyard where we was to meet you , so I`m guessing your him ".said the woman .
" I don't know what I was doing there, it seems that I have forgotten and at this minute I have a banging headache "
Kite felt the back of his head .
"I seem to have a very large bump on my head "
"Well your a doctor you should be OK to treat it , just sit in your reception for 2 hour and blame the Government " she said
"I am a doctor ?"
"Yes you are and you start tomorrow we have a rather bad plague at the moment " she said .
"Where is this place ?" Kite asked a she looked round the room and it looked a bit odd, The room looked like a museum and no lighting except a Candle burning on the bedside table
"The village ?" she replied .
He didn`t think that was the right question for some strange reason .
Kite had this strange feeling that we was`nt where he supposed to be and an old man with lots of coats was floating around the back of his head and a shed that puts you in places that you really wished you`d stayed at home to watch a box in the corner of the room .
"What time is it ,and what year is it?"
Then woman looked at him and felt his brow
Tuesday afternoon in the year of our lord 1523 she said .
"And I am"
"Michel Nostradamus " she said .
The next morning Kite woke up with a banging headache , had breakfast that was made by the woman who seem to live with him and she explained that he was the new Village doctor and he had his very own Surgery.
After a fine cup of tea and toast , the woman brought his coat and hat and set off to his new job .
Kite finally got to his office after asking people along the streets where the Doctors Surgery was and there awaiting him was a Queue of about 50 people waiting in line.
As he got inside there was the woman who he just left at home . How did you get here so quick he thought .
" Busy day today Doctor that plague is getting worse " she said taking his hat and coat .
Kite sat behind a desk and rang a bell which was on the desk and my first patient came in , he was a old man .
"Good morning sir are you doing ?" Kite asked
"Thats a silly thing to say , I would n`t be here if I was doing well , and whats your name your the new boy are you ?" he said .
"I`m Dr Nostradamus "
"Dr Who "?
"Nostradamus , I see you have open wounds and a very black tongue , I`m guessing you have the plague ?" said Kite (Nostradamus ?) .
"No I fell off a roof " he said .
"So explain to me why your hair is smoking ?"
"I got struck by lighting , that`s why I fell off the roof " he said .
I think I`m in for a long day , Kite thought to myself.
"DING " went the bell . "Next !"
"Dr my husband thinks he`s a Cow " said a woman .
"Well bring him in and I will have him put away or put him out to pasture "
"I can`t Dr we need the milk " she replied .
"Ding" NEXT !
" Dr I keep having loss of all memory " said a man .
"How long has this been going on ?" Kite asked .
"How long as what been going on ?" he replied .
Ding ! NEXT !
The long day was over and Kite went home with a headache .
That night as Kite lied in bed , he had a strange dream , or was it a vision , he wasn`t really sure but he saw a city of very tall building s exploding and crashing to the floor and the sky turned black .
Each day as he went to work he passed a strange small hut in the edge of the courtyard, it seemed as if he knew what it was but he could`nt get his head round it .
Kite became very successful in his job over the next few years and things were going well but one night he had that strange vision again of the buildings crashing to the ground , and then a few months after that another vision of a great war with flying machines and large armored vetches that moved across the land causing explosions and killing people , these visions seemed so real and he thought that they was from my past , but couldn't be right there was no such inventions in the 16 century .
Kite decided to write them down and find someone who could explain what these visions were .
Kite had heard that in the next village there was a man who was in the ways of prophecies and science , his name was Dr Albert Van Helsing .
"Come in boy I`ve heard so much about you " he said .
"Dr Helsing its a pleasure to meet you , I`m sure we have met before your face is familiar " said Kite .
"Maybe in another time my boy , but not in this lifetime "he replied.
"Strange thing to say , as the Bible teachers us there`s only one lifetime and then we go to the kingdom of heaven . waffled Kite
"What can I do for you ?" he asked taking no notice of him and sat down behind a desk on which was a mouse eating away at a piece of cheese.
Kite explained his visions he was having and that he didn`t have a memory until he woke up in the courtyard a few years ago .
" I see , can you explain those black fillings inside your mouth that I have noticed " he said .
"No I can`t, I often wondered why no one else seem to have them " .
"And the clothes you have on , and that shirt you have on it says "Rush world Tour " and some numbers "2 0 0 7 " can you explain that ?"
"No.. I guess not "
"I think you are not from this time or place boy and I think there is a reason why your here , and I think it might be your visions and we need to document them so they we be able to be read in the future and hopefully someone will make sense of them " said Dr Helsing .
"Oh and there`s one more thing Dr I`ve seen large ships in the heavens with no sails .
"Interesting" said Van Helsing .
A few years passed and Kites visions were finally published and soon became a best seller and even the Queen of France read it and asked for Kite at the palace to work with her .
That night Kite had another vision of The King of France Henry the second die in a jousting tournament and he told the Queen and the King and the King just laughed at such nonsense and that his visions were nothing but false claims and witch craft.
A few years later the King was in his yearly Jousting tournament and low and behold there was an accident and he died , and Kite was arrested for being a heretic and a devil worshiper and blamed for the Kings death .
Kite was dragged to a underground cell and he tried to get myself free and Kite was knocked on the back of the head and he blacked out .
The Present day [ sort of ]
"Is this some sought of fancy dress then" Kite asked the monk and the men in the masks , hoping for some explanation why he was strapped to a chair in a dark dungeon .
"Nostradamus you are being tried for witchcraft and the death of our King " said the monk .
"My names not Nostradamus ! its Kite !!" he shouted . For he finally remembered his name and how he ended up in a dungeon ( I know timing right )
"Kite is that a Devils name that you go by when your not a heretic ?" said the monk .
"No its the name my mother and father gave me when I was young , my real name is .." and before he could finish Kite was hit in the stomach by a masked jailer .
"Be quiet heathen your bonfire is being built while we speak and you shall be burned for the death of our King " said the angry monk .
"Oh hell , where the hell is that old bugger when you need him " Kite said to himself
"Untie the heathen and take him to his funeral pyre " said the monk .
The guards unstrapped him and took down a long corridor and through a door where there was a man giving out tickets to very worried looking people tied up and in a line .
"Here you are sir " said a man , and he gave him a ticket , it had the number 666 on it .
"Whats this then ?" Kite asked him.
"Its your Que number sir we don`t want any pushing in " he said .
"Pushing in ! , I can`t think why anyone would want to push in to be burned at the stake ". .
"You always get the odd one " he answered .
There was quiet a crowd gathering, Kite tapped the man in front of me who`s ticket was 665 .
"What you being burned at the stake for ?" Kite asked the man as he thought a bit of banter may cheer the man up who looked scared to death.
"Fishing" he said
"Fishing ?"
"Yeah Fishing , yesterday I went fishing and when I came home I caught my wife in bed with another man , so I killed them both "he said .
"Is`nt that murder ?" asked Kite
"No not at all I always throw them back before I go home " he replied .
After no 665 went up in flames , it was Kite`s turn and he was dragged up to the stake , then Kite began to scream like a baby
"I'm not Nostradamus honest , I`m not , I`m Kite !"
Then there was a cry from a woman in the back of the courtyard , it was the Queen and beside her was strange dressed Albert !.
"Untie Dr Nostradamus , he is innocent " she cried .
"Your names Kite is it, that`s a funny name "said the guard , who was looking disappointed that he had to undo all the ropes .
"No its Nostradamus " Kite said .
They got back to the palace and Kite asked Albert how did he got here and , how did he get here (Kite) and where did this beard come from , and then he realized that he was a different Albert , but the same . ( But the same , are you keeping up reader ?)
Kite couldn't`t tell him everything due to Butterflies and such , he would have liked too but when he found out where the Time Machine was Kite decided the best thing to do was to leave that night to avoid more complications .
Kite said goodnight to Albert that night and Kite had a question for him .
"Do you have a pet mouse by chance Albert ?"
"Why yes I do " and he pulled out a small mouse out of his pocket , "his names Eric " he said .
Kite got in the shed and set the time for home and when he got back upstairs to bed and he looked in Albert's room and he was still fast asleep .
Kite got into bed.
God it feels like I hav n`t slept in this bed for years he thought to myself .
Drifting off to sleep Kite pondered on how many lifetimes Albert had and what were the chances of meeting up with him and in some cases twice .
He no doubt would find out the answer to that sooner than later .
[Or I Didnt See That Coming]
There was a cold sensation across Kite`s face , and He opened his eyes to find myself in a dark dungeon and surrounded by a monk waving a crucifix about and several men with black masks ,and he did`nt think they were going to a fancy dress party .
