I was writing this story a while ago about some useless peon that you would gun down in a fight no worries. I wanted to show people it so I decided why not here? I mean people have been posting Poems and the works. Let me now of what you think.

Dear Mum and Dad,
Today I started my new job with this Russian guy, Damon. It?s basically guard duty, but the monies all right. We work in his own museum, which is pretty cool. This guy must be rich! I?ve met a couple other guys there who have been helping me out a bit. Frank, Dave and Sam. You?ll like Dave, he listens to Queen and has all their albums. Yesterday, Damon told us all that this ex-cop?s gonna come and try and bust this place up. He said it was all right to shoot at him since he?s not a cop anymore and is breaking the law. So it?s all just self-defense on our half. Damon?s old and grumpy. Sam said he reminds him of his grandpa, we all laughed.

Dear Mum and Dad,
That cop came like Damon said. This guy seriously blew the whole place to pieces! He shot up one of the dinosaur statutes until there was nothing left! It?s gonna cost millions to fix this place up! He was a complete psychopath! I?m not sure how many people died exactly but some times you couldn?t even see the floor any more. The strange thing was he kept leaping everywhere! He would also grab onto the pterodactyl bones and swing on those and run along railings. Talk about dangerous. Luckily early in the fight I was knock out by this dove. It flew out of nowhere and hit me in the face. When I woke up in hospital I heard that both Dave and Frank where both shot in the nuts. It was really sad because Dave really was trying for a family with his wife. Sam on the other hand was killed when him and a few other guys tried to surround the ex-cop to stop him from killing anymore. Apparently he started dodging their bullets and shot them all! Damon was killed as well in his Terracotta Warriors display. It makes you wonder what sort of mad man would do such a thing, destroying ancient valuable works of art and killing so many people? This is the last time I?m in the body guarding business.

Dear Mum and Dad,
Dave?s taking what happened really hard. It?s kinda sad. I?m just so lucky I got knocked out so early in the fight. Me and frank are considering taking those jobs at Black Mesa. It?s better pay and we work for some government organization so it should be good (and away from psychopaths). Well, I?ll write back soon.

PS. Thanks for the cookies. They were great.

Ah, the memoirs of a Henchmen R Us employee.

Fantastic. If you write the rest just like those, then please continue.

Like a red-shirt from Star Trek, right? I can already guess the tragic ending of this story... I don't think I can take it anymore! Power to the red-shirts!

Is this a thug from Stranglehold?
Yeah. You could tell from the groin shots right?

Museum, slomo, groin shots, the jumping, the useless enemies, the ex-cop, "it's going to cost millions to fix this!" (a reference to the damage cost at the end of every mission), ...
Haha. You sir get a cookie.
