Magott ( short Story)

I always knew life would get you down. “My band!” well that’s a different story. We always stick together even when the tough got tougher. As the lead guitarist I had to be the best of the best. My name is Jimmy Lang I have 3 other men that stick with me. Robert Lee is our lead singer, Aiji Mao our drummer and Gin Woo our bass player. We all form the band “Maggot”. We are a struggling now over 6 record companies have turned us down. But now we have Aquarius records watching us. It was time for my guitar solo. My music was punk, but I did enjoy Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Sum 41, Blink-182, Queen, Gun’s n’ Roses, +44, Monty are I, and Van Halen. I did my solo just like Eddie Van Halen. I move my fingers as fast as I could as if the was on fire. After the show Aquarius records came over to me asking if I wanted a solo artist deal. I thought about it but declined in the end. My band and I have been together for 10 years and we didn’t want to end like all the other bands in Japan usually one member’s leaves due to a record deal.

When I got home as usual my dad was home. My mom had left when I was into loud music and hated how my mom named me “Jimmy” due to my dad’s favourite band was Led Zeppelin and the lead guitarist name was Jimmy Page.
“So how did you do?” says my dad in his happy tone “I made hamburgers!”
“Thanks dad,” I exclaimed happily.
“How well did you play, did get that record deal?” my dad said so excited.
“I was offered a deal dad!” I said
“So when you leaving?” he said with a smile
“I rejected it because the deal was only for me,” I said with a strange face.
“Oh!” my dad said
“Yeah,” I said “I can’t leave the band that wouldn’t be fair to my friends.”
“Well alright,’ my dad said now sit down and let’s eat.
As I ate my hamburger I just wonder hat would have happened it I had taken that deal. Would I become famous solo artist like Eric Johnson? I just my hgate my 3rd urger and went to my room.


The next night began another great show. He had sold out again. Playing my best with my band we had the crow screaming at our song “Gone Down”
“That was awesome!” yelled Robert In his loudest voice
“Excuse me?” said a voice “My name is Charles Kinkaid, I am from Island Records, here is my number call if you wanna talk.”
“Great!” said Gin
Aiji Moa was excite you tell by his eyes. He was always really quite happy and he was now drinking his Coke.
“Let call my dad!” I exclaimed
“Hello?” said my dad
“Hey dad it’s Jimmy, I got good news….WE GOT A RECORD DEAL!!!!!!!!!”
“ That awesome, boy!” he said like it was like he had won the lottery
“We leave tomorrow.” I said
“Alright,” he said
When I got home my mom was there yelling at my dad
“Are you kidding me? This is just so stupid and the U.S is not a place for an 18 year old boy. The judge was wrong I should have custody of him you……you are the worst parent ever you……..you idiot!”
“ Why do you even care anyways you left him then got a divorce. What else do you want from me no?” my dad said like he was 10 years ago.
“Mom! Leave right now!” I said in my loudest voice.
“Fine, But if he is found in a trunk of a car don’t come to me!”
I left the next day with a huge smile. It was time to be a great band. My band was intense we had everything that we ever wanted. Money, Fame, Fans, and of course girls. We met with our manager Alex Roberts in L.A. He took us to MacDonalds. I had never eaten there. I ordered a big Mac and a chocolate shake. It was da bomb!
“So, I have a gig tonight at downtown Hollywood club,” said Alex
“Yeah!!!” said Aiji
“Shut up!” said Robert in his serious voice
“Alright,” I said

Later that night we got ready. We wore theses really uncomfortable jeans. They were so tight. The shirts were really good nice and silky. When we got on it was like a fan demonian people. When we starting playing it insane all our songs were really good. But here it comes. About at the time that someone said can we get a slow dance song.
“What?” said Aiji.
“Yeah a slow dance song” said someone else.
“Ok guys, we are screwed !” said Gin.
“No we are not said Robert. Remember the song we learned like 10 years ago, November Rain By Gun’s n’ Roses.”
“Yeah!” I said
“Let’s do it!” said Gin
“Alright, said Robert, 1,2,3!”
We played our hearts out. It was a huge success. We had at least 100 people come to tell us how well we did. I had feedback from Paris Hilton and Kurt Hammet. Wow we are like insane. Back at the hotel there was huge party that was happening right. Like it was insanity. Nothing bad was happening but after that I think I had to much to drink. I had went insane. I woke in the morning with biggest hang over .
“God!” said Aiji in the morning
For some reason he had the most out of any of us.
“This……………………...sucks!” Gin said
“ I am never drinking again” I said after a long pause
When a aloud sound music came on. Well it wasn’t a every good morning for us because it just like a bullet to the head. Aiji went insane at that point.
“Oh my god!” he was screaming like it was in extreme pain
“ Hey relax Aiji,” said Gin
About 30 minutes later and about 20 Advils later Aiji finally was able to chill out. We got to the recording studio. We had to begin to write songs. It took over 4 hours to get it a good song title than an extra 1 hour to write it. It was called love of the tiger. Well it did pretty well. It had good riffs and nice tones. So we get going to and our 1st album can out to called “US”. It hit #10 on the charts witch for us was amazing. For the next 4-5 months we went to places like Sacramento, New York, and Paris and well it went really well
It had become a good trip for all the time we had was insanity. In Paris Aiji and Gin had done some serious shopping for us. He bought tons and tones of jeans, shirts and hats.
“Wow you guys really shopping,” said Robert
“ oh yeah!” said Aiji
“ It was so cheap!” said Gin
“ That must be really good,” I said well
“ We best on the plane<” said Robert
“ Yeah!” Aiji said
As we got on the plane we had over 10 pounds of clothing. This is really great when we got back to our condo in L.A. Alex came saying
“ Ok you guys this very important that you listen to what I am saying. You to come back to recording studio tomorrow. You have to make your new album which will take a month to do. I need to do it still tomorrow because you have CD signings all next week. And if you don’t show tomorrow I will rip your contract!” he said with very seriousness.
“Ok ok,” said Gin
“You don’t have to go all spas at us!” said Aiji
“Guys this serious!’ said Robert
“ Ok!” said Aiji
About a few minutes later Aiji was asleep. We all had a good night sleep. Except for me I was talking to my dad all night about what was happening. In the morning at the studio we were making our new album that’s called “ Our Life” It was about our life each song had us in it and it was only 1 hour and 30 minutes because of each persons running time. Mine was 43 minutes long and the other maybe a bit shorter. This album had 4 songs only due to this. It hit the charts at #5 which was massive improvement. This a good thing that was happening.
Later I was getting ready for bed I heard Aiji outside he was screaming at someone. He was really impatient he was yelling something he called ‘the stuff. He was crying and screaming at the same time. When I got down there it was raining Aiji was there he was really mad he was talking to these people.


“ I don’t care about this give it to me now!” he said
“ I don’t think we have a deal?” the man said
“ Yes we do, here it is $900!” Aiji said
“ No!” the man said
It was beginning to very very scary Aiji was not backing down though. He was staring at the man like it was a staring contest. What could I do if I got involved Aiji might be killed. So I ran to go get gin and Robert who when they what was happening they were rushing to get down there so they could see. I was not so funny when Aiji offered them $5000 of our albums money and would pay another $600 for extra. What was it? It was Pot. This man didn’t look like a man though. He was like girl because of his long hair.
“ Stop now!!!” said Gin.
“ Who is this?” said the man.
“No one!” said Aiji
“I knew it you’re a cop!” said as he pulled out his gun
“ Drop it!” said Robert as he ran for the man
“ Wait!” I said
We were all there now. This was not good thing that happening. We had to find away to get all of us out of there. We started to run the man followed. We all hid behind trash can.
“You can’t hide Aiji!’ said the man
All I heard was a loud pop. I Aiji being knocked out and by the man. Then an other pop a man had knock out the man that knocked man that had knocked out. It was police officer and he had but the man into cuffs.
“Let’s get your friend to the hospital,” he said
“Alright!” I said





“What was that about” Robert said when Aiji woke up
“ That was my dad!” Aiji said
“What!” I said
“Yeah he came for my money that I owe, he said he would come when we had a million or dollars made” Aiji said
“Ok!” said Robert
“You could have told us!” I said
“ Yes, you put your self in a lot of trouble,” Gin
“Ok boys let Mr. Mao get some sleep,” said the doctor
As we walked all we could think about how are we going to about Aiji. He was the one that we all thought wouldn’t get into problems. He was always so quite and he never out f l f as the one who had issues with anything. He always having fun but now America had turned him into someone else. He never out of all of us would have had these issues. We went to talk to his mom who had just shown up and we ask her how was the relationship between the 2 men.
“It’s really bad. They fought a lot and Mao is only 37 and Aiji is 18. I gave birth to him when I was 17 years old. It was not easy with Mao always gone,” she said
“Ok who is this Mao?” Gin asked
“The man in that room, he is the one!” she said
“Wow this very scary,” Robert said
“Well we need to find away to get this man away from Aiji,” I said
“There is no way, Aiji owes Mao over $20 000 U.S,” she said
“ Sorry, I have to take this!” I said
“Well we need to help Aiji find away to get Mao the money, this getting really annoying,” Robert said
“This not what you call annoying!” she said
I came back with tears in my eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Gin asked
“Well I just got off the phone a doctor in Japan and he said my dad is dead!”
The room remained quite for another 25 minutes

“What?” Gin said
“Yeah, he’s gone,” I said
“How?” Robert asked with tears in his eyes
“Heart Attack!” I exclaimed
“Well what had happened?” Aiji’s mom asked
“Well he had fallen asleep then never woke up. Neighbours reported it 3 days later when he never came outside,” I said with heavy amount of tears
“Well what’s up guys?” Aiji said with a doctor
“My dad is dead!” I said
“Oh!” said Aiji very loudly.
Everyone was very happy that Aiji had woken up. Still I hated the fact that my dad is gone. This was very strange that my dad died. He was always so Healthy. My phone rang it was my dad’s lawyer.
“Hello” I said
“Hello Jimmy, The death of your father has me a very very sad man. He has left his will. He has left you his money and guitars. The house will be taken down to make a hotel. That’s what says in the will.” He said
“What did my mother?” I asked
“Oh, nothing. Has nothing for her. Except if you don’t claim the money within 30 days she will get it all,” he said
“How?” I asked
“Well that’s what the bank said,” he said can I transfer it
“No,” he said
“Ok, for everything Mr. Osaka,” I said
Well I had make a deal with my manager to get us to tour Japan. Robert’s mom was hoping that we would go to Japan for a tour. All I had to do was get my manager “Alex Roberts” to get us a deal.




Next day we consulted with Alex and he said he wasn’t so sure about this.
“ I don’t know,” said Alex
“Come on?” said Aiji
“Well we don’t enough money,” Alex said
“We can use so of our money!” Gin exclaimed
“ Fine!” Alex said
In the end it had cost us over $1.3 million. For the entire trip.
“Our flight leaves at 4:30 am,” Robert said
“Alright!” I said
I never told why I had to go Japan except for Aiji. He was willing to help out with my issues. It had been way to many times that my mom has tried to use my dad to get money. She was always so greedy. She was not from Japan. She was from New York. She came to Japan so she could buy stuff and find a man like my dad use for money. That’s all she did. When he got a divorce all she got over 1/9 of it which was very little. She would always believe she was the good parent when she called me a “lost cause” one time. All did at that point was play guitar with my dad and he always so happy when I wanted to play. He had always kept me happy and he always was having a good party which he always let come to.
“So?” said Gin
“Ya?” I said
“We need to buy you anew guitar man,” Aiji said
“Why?” I asked
“Because your is so last year!” Robert said
“Well fine, kind did you get me a Gibson Camo!” Aiji exclaimed
“Oh my!” I said
“Yes!” Robert said
For the rest of the flight I was so excited see my new guitar. It had to be really good because the guys really liked having nice stuff.



Our plane finally landed. We were so glad to get off the plane it smelt really bad in that plane. E had to our 1st gig in Tokyo. It was a huge success 20 songs of greatness. The crowed loved it. Next in Osaka it even bigger. It was sold out over millions dollars (U.S). It had to one great performance I had been given the best feedback since Kurk Hammet. Everyone thought that the song “The man is gone” was the best at of everyone feedback that I got. In Hiroshima I got over 500 new friends because of that same song. With the ending of the insane guitar solo. We played back in Tokyo and rock the house. This had become one of the biggest thing in Tokyo.
“Wow!” said Robert
“I know!” Aiji said
“This what we have been waiting for!” Gin said with a huge smile
“Yeah!” I exclaimed
“I like to take a moment for tomorrow Jimmy will go get that money that his mom believes she should!” Aiji said
“What are you going to do with it?” Robert asked
“I plan on donating it to Free The Children,” I said
“That’s very nice!” a voice said.
“ Who is this?” I asked
“Your mom!” the voice said in a snicker
“Security!” Aiji yelled
“Mom, get out of here!” I yelled
“Not till you make a deal with me to let me have that money, he left me with nothing!” she said in a sad voice
“You deserve it,’ Robert said as he stood up.
“How do I deserve it?” she asked
“You’re such a Gold Digger!” Gin exclaimed
“Let’s go lady!” said the security guard
“Can we charge her with something?” Gin asked
“No sorry!” the security guard said


My dad’s funeral was extremely sad. Everyone that had known him was. All his business buddies were all there. I could see almost everyone that I knew. I could have been the biggest funeral Japan would have ever seen. The funeral man came up said
“My friends, we are here to say our final words to Riyuuji Lang. A man that dedicated his life to working and family. He always would be the one that would have cared for others. He had his song who would like to say some words.”
I stood and went to the front. Of everyone sat up I began to talk, and there she was my mom waiting. I began
“ I always love my dad of a hero, caring, and a man that would always be the to love by everyone. He was leader to me showing me the way to play guitar or just teaching me ride a bike. He was always that person who would work on what he had to finish, he had a heart of gold not a heart of darkness. He had the best smile and the best ideas to have fun. I never would say he ever was a mad person. He love everyone that he knew. He always there for everyone. Thank you.”
It had been a very weird speech. But everyone really liked it. at the nd of the ending my mom came said that should the money.
“This is your last chance, son,” my mom
“No! mom leave right!” I said in Frustration
“He is my Husband!” she said
“More like your ex!” Aiji laughing
“Shut your mouth!” she exclaimed
“Why don’t you,” Robert
“You al this way just to tell me give the money, leave right now mom,” I said getting really mad.
“Well than what can you do about it?” she asked with a smile
“Won’t give the money,” I said
“Well!” she said in a frustrated tone
“Good bye!” Aiji said as we all walked away.
All I could think about is getting money to Free The Children


When we got to my dad’s office, his lawyer was there.
“Now just sign here,” he said
“Ok,” I said
“Wait!” my mom was screaming in a high pitched voice
“No mom leave right now,” I said
“Mr. Osaka, please don’t do this!” she said as tears started to come done
“I’m sorry, but left nothing his will for you,” Mr. Osaka said
“This just so not fair!” she screamed
“Security!” Aiji yelled
“Yes?” security guard asked
“Please make her go away,” Robert said
“Will do,” the guard said
“No, no, no!” my mom screamed
“That’s what happens when you mess with us,” Gin said
“Can we finish this?’ Mr. Osaka said
“Yes!” I said
It had finished what my dad wanted to have to money went to “Free The Children”. It had been a long day after everything that. In the morning as was informed that my mom had killed herself during the night. Leaving a note saying “I hope your happy!”
“Well guys, let’s record a new album!” Aiji said so stoked
“Ok guys!” Robert said
“Hey guys, did here that my mom killed herself?” I asked
“Yeah,” said Gin
“It’s like all over the news,” Aiji said
“Wow,” I said
“It’s that big,” Robert said
“We need to go now!” Alex said impatiently




On my our way back to L.A I wondered why my mom did this herself. It was like she hated or something because she didn’t get the money. I sat next Aiji who was rocking out to his music. He just couldn’t get enough out of his iphone he got.
“So what did you your mom?” I ask him
“Same thing,” Aiji replied
“Really?” I said
“Well she always wanted something that she could touch,” he said
“Well that’s cool,” I said
“ What did you yourself?” Aiji asked
“Oh this was for my dad, It’s and Hp computer, but he has passed on I’m going to keep it” I said
“So how are you gentleman feeling,” Flight attendant asked
“Good,” I said
“Ok then,’ said flight attendant
“We need think of some new music,” I said
“Ya, I know,” Aiji said
For the rest of the flight Aiji and I thought of some music that we could write. We thought of intense guitar, bass, and drum solos. We could have concert just like Woodstock. It could be like all day thing. But I don’t if anybody would allow.
“Hey guys I have an idea,” Gin said
“What?” Aiji asked
“Our song can about your problems,” Gin said
“That’s a great idea,” I said
So when we got to L.A we got to recording studio and began.






At the recording studio we made our new album called “Gone From Us” It had hit #1. It’s single was called “Good Riddance” and over another 10 song that made this album the best of the best. Later as we were chilling and Gin came in panting like there was an issues.
“Dude!” I said
“What’s wrong?” Aiji asked
“Seriously what’s up?” Robert asked
“I have so some really good news!”
“Ok spill it!” Aiji said
“Ok guys, I just got off the phone with Alex, he has being checking our status in the ranks of bands. He said that we are #1 in the world. I’m ranked 20 best bass and Aiji you are 10 best drummer, and Robert you are #7 best singer, and Jimmy you ranked 5 best guitarist,” Gin said before he fell asleep.
“Is he serious?” I asked
“Let me call Alex,” Aiji said
“Hello?” Alex said
“ Hey Alex, it’s Aiji are we actually #1 in the world?”
“Yeah, didn’t Gin tell,” Alex asked
“Oh my god!” Aiji was screaming so loud
“Are we actually?’ Robert asked
“Yeah!!!” Aiji said so happy
“Let’s party!” I said









So my band has done it all. We prove to everyone that we can become a good band. Many bands have tried but we are able to do and we are extremely lucky that this has happened to us. I have been able to become something that I ever thought I would be able to do. I am 1 man that has lost and won something. Through everything that we have win or lose we have a choice. I could have chosen not to stay with my band. I could have taken the deal the Aquarius records but I didn’t so in every choice there is a decision.
“So what do guys want to do now ?” Aiji asked
“Let’s go on tour,” Gin said
“Yeah,” Robert said
“Let’s all go to Canada and England,” I said
“Yeah, and Italy, and Greece,” Aiji said
“Let’s go guys!,” I said
As I said that, we all got up walk away.

The Struggle

I struggle to help
To see that they're people that yelp
All through the night
That the coat will be of white
To kill or destroy the skelp

Help!!!

I sit and I sit
Waiting for the day that I will be free
To see World That will be
It will be here to see
That the world is free from the dark

Sadness of Sorrow

Sorrow and Sadness
Has the darkest pain of all
Beginning madness

My Trouble

I walk the school and gives me fear
Beacuse I will not be there next year
Beacuse of time have, i believe it's not fair
And when people ask me i will not dare

Man/Boy

A man will go to work
A boy will go to school
A man get sad
A boy wll just cry
The man likes girls
The boy has yet like them
Every man and boy wishes that they the opposite
