- STORY NOTES FOR "THE HORROR"
-
- "The Horror" is an original composition by Brian Szepatowski that plays for
- fifteen minutes. It is a Sidplayer song that comes on the disk for the
- Enhanced Sidplayer. The work is a story about a Hero and an entity known as
- the Horror who fight using psi power. This documentation file presents the
- story by describing the action at various points in the song.
-
- 0:00 This is the beginning of the awakening. The wind is blowing and you can
- hear the trees rustling. There are people walking. They find a cave opening
- and walk down into the cave. They start chanting spells and incantations.
-
- 1:18 The Horror awakens. He starts exercising and testing his power because
- he has been dormant for so long. He snickers.
-
- 1:44 This starts the Carefree Theme. People in the town are going about their
- business, shopping for Twinkies in a grocery store.
-
- 2:18 The bass line tells when the Horror shows up. He starts stalking people,
- looking out from behind bushes, cars, etc..
-
- 2:31 The Horror begins going after all his prey. There is lots of death and
- destruction.
-
- 3:07 This starts the Helpless Theme. People are trying to fight back against
- the Horror but there is nothing they can do. They are powerless against the
- psi power of the Horror.
-
- 3:20 This is the Sadness Theme. The Horror has had his fun, so he goes off,
- while the people are mourning.
-
- 3:52 The Horror laughs sadistically.
-
- 3:55 The Hero begins his training in psi power.
-
- 4:26 The Hero begins more serious training.
-
- 4:42 The Hero is completing his training.
-
- 5:10 The Hero goes off to battle.
-
- 5:29 This is the beginning of the confrontation between the Horror and the
- Hero. They are sizing each other up, being obnoxious to each other, and trying
- to stare each other down. They have a "little discussion."
-
- 5:59 The battle is beginning. The Hero's theme pops in occasionally but
- mostly it is the Horror's theme, because he is mostly in control.
-
- 6:14 This is the actual start of the mind to mind battle. The first move is
- made by the Horror.
-
- 6:47 The battle continues. The Hero is beaten to rags and is mostly defeated.
-
- 7:02 While the Helpless Theme plays, the Hero watches as the Horror does more
- damage. There is more death and destruction as the Horror does more of his
- sadistic work. The Horror wants to rub it in, and have the Hero see this.
-
- 8:00 The Hero decides that okay, he has to fight - he has no choice. He is
- the only one who can stop the Horror. He pulls himself together and finds
- within himself the power to do what he has to do, that nobody else can do.
-
- 8:10 This is the beginning of the second battle. The Hero is in control most
- of the time.
-
- 8:36 The Hero is determined to win and destroy the Horror. While the Serious
- Training Theme plays, the Hero does the most damage to the Horror. The Horror
- isn't able to do too much back.
-
- 9:15 The Horror says "no" and tries to come back.
-
- 9:30 Both of them are fighting. The Hero was getting beat on so he starts
- moving out of the way, and the fight turns back to his side.
-
- 9:39 The good guy wins out and gets on top.
-
- 9:55 The Hero works on finishing what he had started.
-
- 10:06 The Horror makes a last ditch effort before he gets destroyed.
-
- 10:11 The Hero says no and destroys him.
-
- 10:39 This is the moment of victory. The Hero has destroyed the Horror
- completely, or so he thinks.
-
- 10:46 This is the sunrise and clearing of all of the darkness to light.
-
- 11:04 The music moves into the Resolution Theme. People are getting up,
- emerging from the rubble, looking around, and seeing what is going on.
-
- 11:41 The Hero walks out of the smoke and fire. People are clapping and
- cheering.
-
- 11:56 People are picking up the dead people, remembering what they went
- through, and remembering all their losses.
-
- 12:12 It's party time. There is a victory celebration.
-
- 13:58 The Hero turns away and looks off. He has a distant look in his eyes as
- he remembers what he went through.
-
- 14:18 The Hero returns to the party.
-
- 14:46 The Horror is off in infinity.
-
- 15:00 Of course, you can never completely destroy evil. The Horror laughs his
- sadistic laugh. He's not dead.
-
- 15:10 The End.
