Everything seems to smell like a wet dog; no, rather the smell of wet muddy fur. Every word that came out of a person’s mouth seems to be a howl, or growl, a monstrous sound that drowns the loudest cry of shrieking witches.

A dark and quiet night. The slow dripping of a tap somewhere accentuated by the fact that he was alone on the street. The boy stumbles quickly through the cobbled ground and thought he saw the shadow of a wolf-like creature. He gulped and forced himself on to his destination…

Mid of October 2011 begins an INSANE invasion of a BIG BAD WOLF filling up MAEPS Serdang, Malaysia; with 1.5 million discounted books ranging from 75% to 95% discount. As the howling gets nearer day by day, more and more earth-minions are getting FREE media passes through the website – bigbadwolfbooks.com. Get READY!

It was a stormy night, a perfect night for hot chocolate and a good book. A thud on the door got me shaken, the wind was loud and strong but the sound was even louder. A shadow was seen against my kitchen wall , suddenly the silence creep-ed in as I waited

No canons are as loud as a wolf’s howl,

No lightning is as fast as a wolf’s shadow.

The story of the Invasion spreads like wildfire, licking every soul that leaves them bare with fear. Shadows of wolves painted every corner and crevices leaving minions crave for more books.

Liber Magnus Malus Lupus

It came to pass in Malaysia there were lovers of books. And the price of books was dear, and the people wailed for this torment. And lo! There came the howling of the Wolf, with 1.5 million books. Rejoice! For the price is dear no more!

THE END. Or so it would be… A world devoid of tales, without page after gripping page to be turned! If not for a very strange and terrifying – some say enlightening – arrival of a creature on this earth. No, as he would have it, the story is only just beginning.

By the dark alley, a shadow was seen. Who was this mysterious figure; one with a tail so fluffy and teeth so white and shiny? As this figure walked into the light, all heads turned over to catch a glimpse of who it was…

The books were coming.

Words were a commodity; people spoke nonsense and lies so as not to waste the best ones, and books were unheard-of luxuries.

But the books waited patiently, plotting the downfall of ignorance and noise, sharpening their wits, loading their meanings, making their points.

They were ready.

At the beginning there were just books, life was mundane, everything moved slowly but things changed. Whispers were heard, far and wide it spread about a wolf who came to join the game. Ears perked up, instant whispers turns to loud chatter and cheers. The BIG BAD WOLF is here.

It began with a wolf.

It was ended by a wolf.

And somehow, when the survivors paused to take stock and count the missing, they’d realise that there was always the wolf. He was there between the shelves and the shadows, everywhere and nowhere.

It was always the wolf, yes?

The invasion was over and the wolf heaved a huge sigh of relief. Little did humanity know that how close it came to the brink of extinction. What a story the events of the day would have made but who would believe him? He could barely believed it himself.

“No!” she wailed. Within seconds, she lost her chance. She wanted it so badly. She wanted to be there. To be with him. The one she waited, she missed, all year round. How could this be? Will she have the chance? She kept waiting. And trying. And hoping. For him.

I sat in the car staring at the window. Everything was wheezing by fast. Trees, houses, wolf? It looked like BIG BAD WOLF with his space ship of BOOKS! He turned to us and pointed to the sky and lo beholds a meteor of 1.5MILLION BOOKS dropped at MAEPS!

It was close to midnight. I walked through the dark alley and something ran past me. I stopped in my tracks. Slowly I turned and saw the BIG BAD WOLF. “Greetings minion. Im here to INVADE earth with 1.5 MILLION BOOKS’ he growled. My heart skipped a beat..

The curtains were drawn and no one dared to make a sound. They were not afraid; rather, they were waiting. Outside, the dogs whined, wishing to flee like the neighbours before them. “Here it comes,” she whispered, just before the roaring sounds of looming hovercrafts drowned out all else.

The doctor said the only cure left is books. With my meagre income I can hardly read. I prayed for a miracle. “I have 1.5 million super cheap books at MAEPS when you win a contest at bigbadwolfbooks.com/blog “ BIG BAD WOLF hissed to my ears. Tears of joy fell.

It began with a need for escape, a search for the way to a different world, a desire for words and where they can bring you. It was a time of anticipation, a time of competition, a time of eager expectation; there were rumours that here, history would be written.

It comes in the night, it comes in the day. None can hide from its furry. They have sent the bravest to find it, but they come back scared. They have sent the strongest to fight it, but they come back weak. Who will be our champion now?

The spell’s been cast. The masses are infected..walking zombie-like…waiting…waiting..to feast their word-hungry eyes and book-thirsty minds for the 1.5 million copies of bounded pages. The wolf looks on content, stirring the brewing pot of incantations of more offers? More discounts? (oh God, can my wallet take it? It has too!!)

It came from the abyss…with cunning and sly plot to win the heart of MILLIONS… It begin in the darkest hour of midnight, where devils and demons lie in wait, where the moon is bloody and then the HOWLING swear…the WORDS of weapon and warfare…lets invade…

Walking towards his home, Gideon thought he smelled the wondrous flavour of freshly print out books. He shakes his head, for the technological age is now, and books are but remnants of the past. Still, he followed the smell of books, and soon saw a wolf stacking 1.5 millions books…

A howl rings throughout the land piercing the silence like a sword. The barking of the domesticated hounds can be heard from all sides. In a heartbeat my senses came fully alive. A sleek creature weaved past me. This was no squirrel or red fox, its presence was commanding…

“yes, yes, YES!” said the wolf as he woke up from a dream, and found that his dream was true as he can smell the freshly printed book miles away. “Let’s invade!” said the wolf laughing as his spirits rise and he was ready to win the heart of millions.

I don’t know from whence it came, but when it came, it was sudden. It was almost Godly that I trembled at its presence. It calmed me down It gave me 1.5 million bookly offers and I was enamoured that I cried out, “ALL HAIL, BIG BAD WOLF.”

Flutters of turned pages orchestrating music to the willing ears. Rainbows of colors forming gazillion droplets that maketh amazing pictures. The mesmerizing dances of words of timeless tales. And then, the howls, so melodious as it serenades the eager, faithful minions, summoning them to the Gathering. And so, it begins.

T’was the night before October the seventh,
all was calm as the clock stroke eleven.
A flying saucer descended from the clouds,
its door hissed open aloud,
as Black Paw stood beside the mount.
And out came the books in a humongous load,
Thus changed the way books are sold…

A single page fluttered from the sky, spiraling towards the desolate land. It’s another sighting. Will the Drought Of The Written Word finally end?. Eagerness fills the air. Whisperings of anticipation about rumours of 1.5 million books start to spread among the bibliophiles. The Big Bad Wolf is finally here.

The truth is The Big Bad Wolf wasn’t interested in Little Miss Red. He was really eyeing on Jane Eyre – no not the girl silly, the book – tucked in a basket between cream cakes and sandwiches. That was the last book that he needed to complete his collection of 1,499,999…

He came, he saw and he conquered. Thus, begin the plan of an invasion by a Big Bad Wolf.

With a swish of his tail and his trademark wit, tantalising clues were teasingly dropped, leaving his faithful minions clamouring for more.

The wolf, sleek in his ways, teasing his minions, inviting them to his den. Slowly but surely he lays his trap. Sucking every bit of intelligence out of his victims. Will they have any of it left? Or would they be left clueless. What would the wolf’s next move be?

“Wake up, child” I rubbed my eyes, trying to focus. A pair of wolf-like eyes looked back at me. “We must pack now. Getting late” I looked at my watch. The Big Bad Wolf is right. I quickly stood up only to find myself on a mountain-high pile of books.

Under the mystical spooky aurora light in a galaxy far far away, roars voice of The Big Bad Wolf Dark Lord, “My dear son Black Paw, the Tribe has spoken. You are the Chosen One. You are our only hope. Go get those Minions!!! Make this INVASION the BIGGEST ever!!! Makes us proud.”
So the journey begins…

The night was clam and quiet. Suddenly, thud… thud… thud… and it stops. “What’s that!” I thought. Then it goes again. Thud… Thud… As I listen, the thudding gets louder and more frequent. I rushed out, looked up and there’s the wolf. With his wide grin, the invasion begins.

It happens at the eating table of the famous Mamak restaurant… while looking around for the delicious treat… a sheepish smile came reflecting straight into my eyes of the long lost wolfie smile…HAIL, it’s back ALAS…

Alive without breath,
Speak without voice,
Secret being told in a silent way,
Your ticket to adventure begins here,
A real adventure without risk, awoooOOO~~~

It sounded truly terrifying and loudly that it echoed throughout the valley. The wolf invitation was finally HERE and his Big Bad Book Invasion started…

Listening to a midnight radio show, Ylva immediately recognizes something odd about the story told by a caller about a missing red-hooded grandmother. Reaching for her decoding kit, she begins unravelling the hidden message. When she is done, the coded message becomes ‘Activate Sleeper Agents. Begin Operation Invasion VII-X-MMXI’.

Arghhhhhhhh!Cold sweat all over me. Clutching my blanket, looking for something to hold on. Damn, its 3 O’clock. Suddenly, im trembling tremendously like nothing to compare off. Again these long nails, paws, black shadow. “Are you okay honey? U’ve been shaking. That dream huh “. I’ve shuddered, leaving behind my anxiety to awake. Reminiscing. This started when

“Grandma,” the girl squinted her eyes.
“Yes, Dear,” I tried my best to hide my big teeth.
“Why did you put so many books here?” She stared at me, demanding for an answer. I sighed. Time for the truth.
“The Invasion, Dear…” I answered reluctantly. “Here is the story…”

Finally, after a year’s of waiting, the Land of Books is set to return to the Tree. The children were eager to get their hands on the wonderful books which weave mesmerizing magical tales. Alas, the night before the Land is due, when the moon is not visible, hidden in the shadowy darkness of the black sky, the Big Bad Wolf strikes his first move.
Oh, dear…

BP : Mayday, mayday! Where the heaven are we now? It’s Hall A, MAEPS…
Captain : Yes, but sorry boss, my GPS is out…
BP : Youuuu, Brilliant!! Nah, use my latest built-in iPaw gadget. Remember to inform my loyal minions on 10/7/11, Santa Paw is coming to town. We’ll celebrate advance X’mas party with millions of books.

The vision from the telescope was a bit blurred. Seems like something is moving over the crater from afar. The determined astronaut adjusting the messure gauge to a more precise focus. Wait a minute…that familiar furry tail…that long, sensitive and pointed ears…that sheepish smile…Oh God ! It’s WOLFIE ! He is BACK !!!

“Earth? That horrid planet that has never heard of our holy four letter word?” Wolf Jr. howled, with what he hoped was enough enthusiasm to impress Father.

“Yes son, it’s time we teach them, the big, bad way. Only this time, you’re going alone.”

Father had different plans.

All was silent, dark of night….
Lil’ Red in Bad Wolf’s lair was fast asleep.
A sudden thrum, a beating drum, gave Red a fright!
Wolf is back! skulking no more, the furry creep
Led his brigade in a million-minion charge
Lil’ Red, caught in the Book Invasion March!

MAEPS confirmed that BBW are invading earth. According to reliable sources reporting on the ongoing alien invasion, the main reason would be costly books. Governments around the globe have been covering up the invasion in order to avoid worldwide panic. BBW and his minions

The Wolf was bored. Why bother stealing all those books if no Evil can be done? Then an idea struck him: an invasion!

“Black Paw,” he cooed. “What do you know of…Planet Earth?”

“Populated with book addicts who’d do ANYTHING to get their fixes,” the scribe reported.

“Hmm.”

They call me the Big Bad Wolf because I invaded your planet with these books. But they did not know I was not evil before that terrible night.

Yes, my power was unmatched. My strengths endless. My mysteries were deep. I was the most powerful being until she came …

Hush now hush for the Big Bad Wolf is here. Quiet now quiet, for you might just hear, his big furry footsteps, are coming near and near. 1.5million books, soon come into sight, come, come, young and old, and you might just hear, the rest of his frightening story, to invade the Earth with words.

It’s the toughest choice ever..perhaps much tougher than deciding whether to live or die..I’m giving birth to the much awaited bundle of joy..and coincidentally they decided to release the Big Bad Wolf..where I get my annual supply bundles of joy.But I’ve made up my mind…

A flash of bright light lit up the sky and then pure silence. For like 5 seconds.. Then a loud chilling howl was heard. Standing by the edge of the rainforest, the howl was unnatural. Rain forests do not have wolves… nor books piled up like a mountain!

1.5 million books!!! Sufficient to detract and to hunt for the coveted “Canidae Canon”? It holds the secrets of wolves and man and its owner shall be KING. It is hidden by a bibliophile and yearly, the Wolf has drawn book lovers from their homes , ransacking them frenziedly …

The last time it happened, bookstores were emptied; libraries went bare. Each book robbed off its shelf; all pages lilting to The Wolf’s melody. There was loud wailing in the scamming planet of Boox-Pryskyhi. Its inhabitants trembled at the thought of The Wolf’s return and wondered what could save them.

The Big Bad Wolf descended, promising chaos and changes the lifestyle of those on Earth. Together with him, he brought along a total of 1.5 million of books. With knowledge gained from reading those books, the Earth has now become a place of survival only for the fittest.

The poor guy kept resisting, though futile did it look,
For his resistance is failing, as Mr Big Bad knew it would,
His share of spoils kept increasing, escape he never ever could,
Thus begins the story, of the first victims of the books…

‘Please don’t go, leave it to someone else! She pleaded. ‘For their sake I must invade their land, bringing this bounty of books’ he said. ‘You may be called the Big Bad Wolf, but you have a heart of gold, so take care, my love. And she bade him goodbye.

The wolves hold on tight,
It mourns the dusky night,
Alpha in lonely black,
Bracing all without his pack,
There will be no holding back,
He goes on a dirty track,
Howling at the moon,
It will come soon,
All it would took,
Was a dusty new book.

Wishing that she was a child again. Skinned knees and broken arms are easier to fix, than an empty shell of a being. The only nightmare is the big bad wolf at the door!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there lived a lone wolf. One day, an idea struck as he pondered his late – somewhat plagiaristic – father’s words: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a person in possession of a good fortune must be in want of books.”

“Report, Navigator!”
“Speed at 100%. Arrival time: 6 October 2011.”
So the invasion has begun, the Leader muses. Everything is as planned: 1.5 million books, 75%-95% discount, the website, the contests, and… the location.
“Maintain full speed!” the Leader ordered. “Destination: MAEPS Hall A.”
No one can stop us now…

Its arrival would always be remembered not by a slew of letters brought by owls, but by a spate of coded messages brought by a wolf. A big, bad wolf. The addicts, always eager for their fix, waited with eyes transfixed to the monitor, their fingers twitching at the keyboard.

“Apa yang kau nampak?”

“Sekejaplah. Gelap.”

“Apa guna lampu suluh yang kau pegang tu?”

“Ya tak ya. Wah! Buku..!”

“Buku? Tepi sikit, aku nak tengok juga!”

“Eh ini ada lebih seribu buku. Mungkin juga lebih sejuta. Kau rasa siapa tuannya?”

“Manalah aku tahu. Ha, kalau kau berani, cuba ambil satu.”

Lisa and her friend visiting the MAEPS
Lisa: oh man!! Its closed
Friend:dont worry i can get us in
They climbed over the fence
Friend: ya’ happy?
Lisa: obviously…..hey look! There’s something going on at hallA…..
Friend: lets go check it out
Once they were in…..its was dark and spooky…lisa kept tripping on something…..suddenly!!!!something big and bad that looked like wolf touched them!! Suddenly out of nowhere, a bright flash of light appeared and thousands of book were dropping!!! They ran out of the hall, and they saw an angry mob shouting ‘book!books!’
Lisa: this ain’t no odinary book fair! Haha

“What use is eating grannies and pigs if I could capture the minds of millions?” Wolf grinned slyly.

“But how, my lord?” Black Paw paused reading K9 Karate to ask.

“Invade their imagination, of course!” (Click!) Deck windows opened revealing 1.5 million crisp, shiny, new books waiting, waiting in ranks…

” Hei you three little pigs, aren’t you aware of the coming extravaganza ?” Snort the rat.

“What is the big deal my dear friend ? Wouldn’t you know we are busy building the house of brick at the moment ?” Retort the little pigs.

“A super invasion is coming to town ! You would not be able to stand it…with your brick house…its huff and puff would tear you apart…,”shivering the mouse replied.

” Ha !ha !ha ! Its that WOLF isn’t it…we are not afraid of him this time…he is too BUSY we know and you know what, we are gonna join in the fun !”

I missed it!

The biggest, most newsworthy event in the solar system, and I missed it. It was ALL the fault of that wolf. I’d been enraptured by all 1.5 million books in his cargo. I hadn’t even seen him land. Escape was impossible, but …I had a plan.

It has watched from high above for eons as its species evolved on Earth. A species that is always feared, never appreciated. Always a foe, never a friend. It was time for a change. And Black Paw knew just how to do that. With 1.5 million books. And an attitude.

Why such Terror can be so familiar, and assuring?
So anticipating! Insanely rejoicing and desiring for his devour?
That unexplainable heart pounding at his howling, *giggles* my Big, Bad, Wolfy!
How could he satisfy me with just 1.5millions of books?
Or, have I already sold to his charm?

The great hunt has begun. The BiGBadWolf’s howls sent territorial messages from one wolfpack to another across the world. The bargain hunters rejoice!

The lone BigBadWolf’s howls continuously sending other wolvepacks running helter-skelter. The bargain hunters are ONLY interested in ONE particular WOLF. The BigBadWolf is simply different from the rest !

We’re not alone.

It wasn’t until the mysterious appearance of a ginormous orb in Serdang, Malaysia that we confirmed their existence.

ARRIVING
7 OCTOBER

Those words were boldly imprinted on the orb’s surface.

What was inside the orb? Were they coming in peace?

Nobody knew.
Nobody but the Black Paw.

“It’s some kind of message, sir.”
“Deciphered?”
“Yes, sir. Some sort of plan to lure bibliophiles with 1.5 million discounted books.”
“Why would anyone do that?”
“Something here about a Big Bad Wolf and an invasion to capture as many bibliophiles to” Fzzzzz….
Lieutenant? Lieutenant?

Singing “Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle” to moon. “Ahh-wooooooo…..”
Suddenly, seeing “Libra” appears “blink” as a signal message.
That means all ready to bomb exciting news about October.
Millions of books are coming to fulfill everyone’s book dream. Ahh-wooooooooo…

Guess what,buddy? I once seen 1.5 million books being sold at a lowest price! Don’t give me that look, it’s all true and happened in Selangor’s MAEPS itself! Now you’re interested, aren’t you? Read on and I shall reveal more juicy stories about the invasion of Big Bad Wolf…

Books which humans must yearn to buy and a book for every life it has taken or endangered. Red Riding Hood, Mogwli, Brer Rabbit,the Three Little Pigs, innumerable!!! Are 1.5 books enough? Will the BIG BAD WOLF ever access his animal kingdom again?

Yes, it has been announced a UFO driven by the Big Bad Wolf carrying 1.5 million books will invade the mind of minions,challenge their running skill plus creativity with its P4P, Finding Area 51, Wolf Tales, Face The Invasion and A-MAEPS-Ing Race Contest.
Together it reunites minions born on 7 Oct via Big Bad Birthday Contest.

There was a kid, standing noisellessly, with a face violently harrassed by soot and dust, wide-eyed looking into something shiny in his palm. His brain cells actively calculating the difference of that shiny thing with the value sarcastically written in garish manner on that vocative black door.

It came. The sound. Dull thud. Just missed my tail. Another came and knocked my drink from my paw. What the FANG?!!!
Hackles up, growling, I scrutinized the motionless object on the ground.
“Well, I’ll be shackled!”
What on great Wolf-Lair are books doing raining down from the heavens?

Malaysians have always identified themselves along ethnic lines. 50 years ago, that all changed.

Some called it an invasion.
Some called it redemption.

Whatever you want to call it, it began to change the very fabric of society. Today, the children of the Enlightened race tell the story. Their journey.

“Are you sure the humans know we are coming” growled the shaggy beast
“Yes, yes and we made a big song and dance about to lure them to the exact spot” giggled Little Red Riding Hood
“Good” snarled the Black Beast and his hairy paw evilly stroke the square head of the Cashier Machine named ‘Ker Ching’

It was calm and peace on Earth. The camels laden with riches padded slowly through the desert.
“Are we there yet” whispered the Wise Man to the Worm.
“that Bright Star in the sky will lead us tothe mother-ship of Books” nodded the Worm

On our bellies, noses pressed against smelly feet, we slowly inched our way upward.
Soon, very soon we will break through the Earth crust and start our takeover just between Wolfie’s legs …
He he! He Who Howls won’t be expecting this.
Who don’t need his Free Media Preview passes?Not us, the BookWorms.Inc

A rustling sound, what could it be?
The flock quivered and prepared to flee
A bleat followed, a sheep appeared
It was their own and relief was heard

But wait! It was only a clothing
A cover for something menacing
The invasion has begun
The Big Bad Wolf spares none…

“Sir! Yes, Sir!”

“What is your objective?”

“Shock and Awe, Sir!”

“Define ‘Shock and Awe’!”

Black Paw hesitated a moment.

“Define ‘Shock and Awe’ Lieutenant!!”

And while Liutenant Black Paw repeated the strategy to his master, the preparation was a frenzy amongst the 1.5 million Chosen Ones.

Anticipation – of immortality.

.

On the cusp of the invasion, the Big Bad Wolf submerged in darkness for his diabolical plot to unfold. Millions of tomes had been strewn across lush green hills to lure his ‘minions’. He had scoured earth for delectable morsels to tempt mere mortals. Would we be able to resist?

As BigBadWolf answered Red’s inane facial features questions, the scent hit. These mischievous games to amuse his non-existent appetite don’t matter anymore; for the most mouth-watering smell seems to emanate from her basket. He would soon find out, fellow readers, that it originates from her book’s price tag…

Red scrutinise her haggard and misshapen Grandma’s face. Instead of voicing her concern, she dutifully decided to comfort her seemingly restless Grandma with a bedtime story; and started reading aloud.

Towards the story’s end, something new stirred deep in BigBadWolf. Thus began his mass invasion quest of the written words…

Transfixed in the bright light beam, BigBadWolf’s ‘Grandma’ disguise was compromised. Red screamed. With the whirring saucer’s noise, he floated within the beam out through the window.

“A talking wolf from outer space! Whatever could he have wanted?” Red mused.

From the closet, hoarder Grandma cried; “My 1.5 million books!”

This is a legend that shall be carried through generations to come. A tale of beast, passion and mountains of priceless texts that no human could imagine. Such enormous phenomenon that left princes shrieking and brought vegetables to life. Some says it happened in an area once populated by tales.

A droning howl roused me from my deep slumber. I felt an itch on my skin… I loped towards my prey, wondering at the change to my vocabulary. Towers of toothsome tomes before me. I was late. The pack stared at me- ‘welcome, comrade’. A mirror. ‘Wolf too? Oh bother.’

“Yes, Sir! I own a green, refreshing & peaceful land”. That is MAEPS.
Ready to howl to all book lovers that millions of books are coming. Look, it is Big Bad Wolf!
Ready to count the categories from A-Z type until helpless gazing. More than 1.5 million books are coming.

It was Baby’s day out with Mummy. They had a wonderful time at the park when the sky suddenly turned dark. Mummy looked around and realized that the park is deserted. Worried, she bundles Baby back into her pram.
Baby [kicking her legs and pointing her pudgy little fingers] – Boo (k) boo (k) ..
Mummy turned and gasped when saw a lone Wolf, holding a cart filled to the brim with books…

A drowning howl with a creepy owl;
The piercing eyes in the scary lies;
The quiet night without a light;
Behind the books appears a look;
Who could it be, who would it be?
Black Paw, 1.5 million books and a cup of tea!

Mom always told me to stay away from big bad wolves; but I knew all wolves were not bad, especially my beloved BBW who flew to planet Publisher & got over a million books back to Earth for all book lovers like me. He is my SuperHero!

“Who is the Big Bad Wolf?” this question echoed towards the common people.Some people believed he would free the world of expensive books.Some believed that he was a revolutionary aiming to tumble the oppressive book prices.some believe him as an opportunist.One thing that everyone was sure of is that he is bringing lots and lots of books to enlighten the world.”Who is the Big Bad Wolf?”

Biannually, the Feline Orchid Aficionado Guild (FOAG) organises a 10-day ‘Orchid Mania Extravaganza’ drawing millions of visitors, feline and non-feline alike, who ooooh-ed and aaaah-ed at the latest orchid hybrids created by FOAGers. The success of the Extravaganza made the FOAGers snootier. And wealthier.

Which upset the Wolves most desperately.

Aloud came the rush of footsteps
Creeping soundly to the soundless breathe
The untamed wolf and its followers did
Laughing hysterically at their triumph of success

There goes another human-boy, tumbling out of the swing in haste to cry wolf, literally. This is the third such address I have received this morning. I am quite perplexed. Last time I checked (and I really did), a handshake was the generic greeting. There was no mention of screaming.

Bunyi genta bertalu-talu. Orang ramai berpusu-pusu.

Hey, ho. Berteriak ramai.

Serigala mengongkong — mari-mari. Berdengking kuat nyaring tapi keramat.

Berjuta-juta naskah untuk dicari, ke sini, ke mari, ke sarangku.

Serigala itu — The Big Bad Wolf — nama panglima perang diberi, dia tersenyum lagi.

Kantung wang laskarku kering lagi untuk ke sekian kalinya.

The portal opens. Wolfie did not hesitate. There was not a second to waste. The destroyers of books would soon be upon him. Wolfie knew of another planet where the books, the magical books, would be treated well. Appreciated. Loved. The portal starts to close. Wolfie jumps.

“Hhhooowwwlll” …”Grrrooowwwlll” echoed ferociously through the main exhibition hall and streets of Serdang. The Invasion had begun!
The Wolf howled to the Mother-Wolf ship hovering above. 1.5 million beams of dazzling light lowered the books down. It would draw all humanity – to be consumed by the BIg Bad Wolf!

Today is still sept 22nd at 7.30pm. why does the posting read Sept 23rd at 3.49 ..? will it still be entered ..?

The dark sky was filled with books being beamed down to earth. General Wolfhart licked his lips and grinned wolfishly as he watched the invasion unfold from the Great Wolf Mothership. 1.5 million books with prices never seen before on earth! Lo and behold, the great literary revolution cometh!

They thought invading Earth would be easy. After all, Earthlings don’t read anymore, what with their smartphones and on-demand cat videos. When the books descend from the great ship SerigalaJahat, the puny humans will scatter like sheep. But the Wolf miscalculated the resistance and might of those who *do* read.

“Ask him.”
“No! You do it.”
The old man turned his head towards the two young girls. His grey eyes glittered beneath his thick mane of hair.
“What do you want?” he growled.
“We want, uh, can you tell us about the books Grandpa? How did they all get here?”

The end was near. No longer would our wallets cry for mercy from over-priced volumes. All around me people were fainting from the shock. I nearly succumbed as well, but with gargantuan effort, I managed to stay conscious enough to witness the onslaught of The Big Bad Booksale! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

The dark sky was filled with books being beamed down to earth. General Wolfhart licked his lips and grinned wolfishly as he watched the invasion unfold from the Great Wolf Mothership. 1.5 million books with prices never before seen on earth! Lo and behold, the great literary revolution cometh!

It was dark and quiet in the alley, when suddenly she heard a loud cry. She quickly ran towards it and saw… the INVASION!
A spine-tingling sensation creep throughout her body as she hears the Wolf howls. She knew it at once! “It’s the 1.5 million books,” she gasped.

6 OCT 2010

Cold metal calipers measured my head
“What is this for?” I asked
“Fitting you with a helmet”

“Do you get much exercises?”
“Er..some”
“Any trouble with joints, hips or knees?”
“No, why?”
“Episodes of faintness or blackout?”
“No, please! where am I going?”

The wall clock read 2300hrs

For years the simple townsfolk had feared bookstores; believing books be a frivolous pursuit for the privileged few.
And then, it happened. The sudden gush of a whirling craft above MAEPS brought deliverance in the form of a silver suited wolf. The era of the heavenly books galore had begun!

OCTOBER 7, 2011. The world will remember this day till the end. The stakes have never been higher. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. I refuse to give up nor give in. As the days creeps slowly to October 7th, most of humanity has succumbed. I too, find myself drawn to the notorious Black Paw with 1.5 million books…

Silhouetted against his flying saucer, BigBadWolf howled before the cowering Boy; “I will no longer crop circle MAEPS or your sheep’s grazing field. Just be a minion and spread word of my 1.5 million books invasion!”

“B-But will they believe me this time?” stuttered the dumbfounded Boy Who-Cried-Wolf.

If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average girl—someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I’m as far away from normal as it gets. Ever since The Invasion of the Black Paw, I am obsessed with Him. Everyday I would check the webpages for more of His news.

And now I have to find someone who can help me find all His 1.5 million books in MAEPS before someone else finds Him first. I would die trying.

The tremor has begun. Heavy fog swirled across the tarmac blocking the view of the blue-roofed dwelling on the hill, but no one was deterred. The vicious howling seemed to have no effect on the determined minions. It’s time to invade, Big Bad Wolf, say hello to your biggest enemies…

The once magnificent city was now a shell of its former self.The air was filled with the acrid smell of burnt paper,and its streets littered with the remnants of once great books.Glancing at the city for the last time, the wolf left.A book, in his paw.

Kau harus berundur! Suara itu berbisik lagi ke gegendangku. Sayup-sayup kedengaran raungan serigala menongkah kesejukan malam, menggigit semangatku. Tiga ratus lima hari telah kulalui untuk saat-saat ini. Tewas dalam 18 pertarungan tidak bermakna perjuangan ini sudah berakhir. Aku yakin segalanya telah tersurat, kini masanya untuk kubuktikan kebenaran. Awas kau serigala!!

Children were nowhere to be found as parents run frantically from every direction. It was like a page taken from the ‘War of the Worlds’ as if chaos would ensued. Behold! The Big Bad Wolf and its strong army of 1.5 million books, ready to take control of our imagination.

I have a confession to make: if you are reading this, it means I am already dead.

Perished with overexcitement in anticipation of the Invasion on 7 October 2011. Remember that date.

And if you dare, read on to avoid the same fate at the Black Paw-s of the Wolf…

A gag kept my mouth wide opened as the dental drill whirred down closer to my bad tooth.

“So where is it?” she asked
The tie from her frilly bonnet tickled my nose when she leaned forward and smiled at me.
“When is it, my child?”

Eyeballs bulging in abject terror, I looked at the wrinkly pink sweet face of my torturer known to the world as The Grandmother

He took his Lair,
High up in the air,
Leaving his minions,
Weeping in servile tone.

1 year later,
He is back to rock.
Even Grandma’s frock,
Jumped in shocked.

He growled at his minions,
Unveiling his lair.
Oct7 there’ll be,
No dearth of books.

The console glowed and the screen came on

HELLO HOW ARE YOU?
MY NAME IS B B WOLFE.

HELLO MY NAME IS B B WOLFE
I AM ON MY WAY TO YOU

HELLO DON’T BE AFRAID I AM COMING

HELLO I AM COMING FOR YOU

I AM HERE I AM HERE I AM HERE

A faint thumping sound resonates throughout the quiet moonlit night. Then, a loud piercing howl was heard.

“OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” cried the big bad wolf.
“NOT AGAIN! I can’t believe this is the fifteenth time I’ve dropped this bloody sack of books on my foot. What have I done to deserve this?”

“Psssst. You there, over here.”

Her jaw dropped as she gasped in surprise to see the creature beckoning for her. She looked around her – not a person in sight. She hesitated for a moment, and then slowly make her way down the dark alley towards the creature. Then, …

ANYTHING CAUGHT YOUR EYE YET? A peculiar figure with Big Bad Wolf 1.5M book tag on his chest grinned like a Cheshire cat. Strapped to a musty wet chair, itchy…wish I have the courage to ask the figure in front of me to help scratch my leg. Then he…

”BIG BAD WOLF!!!“ the boy cried to trick the villagers of the land,
They rushed to him with boxes and cash in their hands.
Little did they know that the third time it was true,
It’s really 1.5 MILLION BOOKS! The boy knew just what he would do…

He’s been scouring foreign lands, devouring their books
especially the ones with good looks.
He’s coming back soon
by the light of the moon
with a 1.5 million surprise coming down your roof!
He’s the BIG, the BAD, the BIG BAD WOLF!…..

All the signs are there, but only those with strong instinct will notice them.

The Kindles and iPads are disappearing to their hideouts.

Wolf-shaped crop circles appearing on the fields worldwide.

Only humans are foolish enough to ignore the signs.

Strange times are coming. Beware!

Round and round the garden like a teddy bear;
‘Til it was galumphed by the Jabberwock;
Who was snicker-snacked by the Priory of Sion to nowhere;
So, beware the plans hidden in the Big Bad Wolf’s sock;
That were mashed together by his army of 1,500,000 books of a fair.

Flying in his saucer, the mischievous Big Bad Wolf spotted a minion walking back from the market. He beamed down determined to scare.

“I will invade and drop approximately 1.5 million books on your home, Piggy!”

So, this little Piggy squealed; “Wheee… Wheee… Wheee!”
All the way home to MAEPS.

Dear diary,

Had this strange dream last night. Dreamt of Santa Claus(!?) creeping through my window, placing something on my dresser. Thought it was just some dumb dream, and hell it isn’t even Christmas yet! Then my heart stopped when I saw an invitation to BBW sale on my dresser…!

Selama satu abad, dunia telah ditakluk oleh Raja Jahilia dan isterinya Permaisuri Ignorancessa yang telah memusnahkan segala sumber ilmu dan buku-buku di dunia. Manusia semakin kurang pengetahuan. Tibalah satu hari yang ajaib, Raja Jahilia berasa tidak sedap hati. Dia berkata, “Adakah itu bau dakwat di atas kertas?!”….

This cannot be logical, I say.

Big Bad Wolf’s suppose to scare people away.

But this wolf, has people hoping everyday.

Really in need for a preview pass, I pray.

1.5 million books, goodness, I won;t stray.

On that day, I am sure we will be very satisfied when we pay.

So please please send me a pass today.

“That wolf thinks he’s so big and bad? Stealing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from me? I’ll show him.” Red crept into a huge, dimly lit room. She gasped. There had to be at least 1.5 million books. “Why did he steal so many books? What is he planning?”

My evil stepmother had banned me from reading for many years for she feared that I would learn too much. One day, while I was scrubbing the floors, a familiar sound came from behind me. “Sound of flipping pages?”, I thought to myself. I turned around and standing there was…

It is official – the world has gone mad. Any quick scan of the news headline will verify this. People begin to malfunction. No matter how much they squirm, the minutes continued tickling by, slowly to the legendary Big Bad Wolf Invasion. It’s back, bigger, better and badder than ever.
..

A howl was heard in a distance, I quicken my steps to find my way out. Suddenly, a light shone from above showing a shadow of a huge wolf. I quickly retreat and ended up in a ditch. In a pool of about 1.5 million books and a BBW flyer..

I fell in love for the first time in my life. An intense heart-thumping love. Not your normal love story. The person I fell in love with is the Big Bad Wolf and his 1.5 million books at 75%-95% discount on all books.
..

Piles of paperbacks,
Columns of hardbacks,
Volumes and tomes, in heaps and stacks.

We’re lost in a labyrinth of books for hours after entering Hall A. Our torches are failing soon. The hall looks like a lair in disguise. Suddenly, a pair of glowing eyes emerges in the darkness. No…

He scampered behind the skip bins outside the warehouse and waited. Had they seen him? He didn’t think so. He knew that the wolf existed and now he had proof. All he had to do now was play it cool and get out of here alive.

We were taught to fear the Wolf. Its huge metallic exterior gleamed in the moonlight as it patrolled the streets, stopping only to cast light on suspicious characters. The Wolf governs us, supports us and utilizes us. But, it shall never rule us.

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?

There was the folk tale ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, and there was the movie ‘Red Riding Hood’. All pay homage to the one-and-only Big Bad Wolf.
The Big Bad Wolf is howling again, featuring 1.5 million books at 75%-95% discount on all books. The legendary Big Bad Wolf is back, bigger, better and badder than ever.
