Me & The Martian

Note: This blog serves to help you in coming up with ideas to write as a short story/novel/script/whatever. Please note that some of the ideas in the blog are downright silly and not meant to be taken as is. You can get the gist of the entry and alter it any way you want, for any purpose whatsoever.

The Plot:

A Martian had come to your office to warn you of an impending giant rodent attack. He said it was only a matter of time before the swarm of the overgrown rats finish off the last Martian and turn its attention to Earth.

Everybody laughed it off, even though upon inspection the Martian wasn’t your officemate and resident prankster Jeffrey wearing a mask. In fact, Jeffrey was right beside you when the Martian appeared. Everybody got back to work except you, because for some reason the Martian thought you would believe his story. You ignored him for the rest of the day.

Upon reaching home, you found the Martian waiting for you. He showed you a raw footage of the last events in Mars before he embarked on a journey towards Earth- the suffering, the cruelty and ruthlessness of the invaders were palpable. Convinced, you decided to stop the giant rodents from invading the world.

The Hanger:

In order to stop the invaders, you need to find the lost continent Atlantis and lure them there, since they are weak in the water and you need the ancient trident of the sea-god Poseidon to kill the head rat.

The Twist:

Poseidon hates Mars and everybody living in it, prompting him to refuse helping you. Along with your friend Martian, you need to convince him that Martians are actually cool and that the Earth needs to be saved. Oh, and there has to be an epic battle between you and the head rat, too.
