Selina Mandrake - The Slayer - Ongoing Text
Caught between Post-modernism and the New Age

Abstract
An Anglo-American geeky girl in her high school senior year in 2011 California, ends up finding out that she is none other than The Slayer, a legendary heroine who is destined to slay many notable vampires and demons, culminating in none other than The Master, the vampire with the oldest soul. See how she manages to do so, despite being completely non-violent, and even supportive of the demons she encounters.
Selina Mandrake - *The* Slayer
[ Catch phrase: “Caught between post-Modernism and the New Age” ]
[ Written by:Shlomi Fish. ]
[ Note: This is a tribute/parody of “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer” (both the show and, to a lesser extent, the film) and of other sources of inspiration such as the Star Trek franchise (primarily “Deep Space Nine”) as well as other sources. ]
[ Note: style note, when the vampires and demons in the story talk in a dramatic and phony tone it is placed in “ALL CAPS” (inspired by the talk of Death in the Discworld series). When they talk non-dramatically and honestly, it is placed in proper capitalisation. ]
Selina in History Class
[ Selina Mandrake is sitting in a classroom taking notes, the other students are paying attention, and taking notes too. Selina is an attractive (but not overly so) girl in her high school senior year, who has immigrated to California from England. ]
In the hallway
[ The bell rings and many school kids are walking out of the classroom, including Selina. She has an empty hour. As she walks in the hallway, she is sometimes greeted by “Hi, Selina!”, “What’s new?”, etc. and answers briefly.

[ Selina turns off the computer screen. ]
Meet the Guide
[ Selina is back at school, and is walking on a corridor, smiling. She opens a door and the corridor is empty except for “The Guide”, an attractive Goth-style man and is standing there watching her with a grave facial expression. ]
[ Selina looks at him, smiles and walks towards him. As she passes him he says in a dramatic voice: ]
[ Selina turns around hesitantly. ]
[ Selina is startled. ]
[ In the corridor there’s a scared and screaming high school girl to the left, and a blood thirsty vampire with his fangs out to the right. The blood thirsty vampire approaches the girl. ]
[ The Guide quickly moves her away, and quickly throws a small wooden stake at the vampire’s heart. The vampire shrieks and evaporates into dust. The girl looks at him and faints. ]
[ Selina is startled and looks around while holding her fingers to her mouth. The Guide moves towards the fainted girl, he makes a gesture around her eyes with his hand, grabs her hand and guides her through getting off the floor. The Girl wakes up. ]

Selina and The Three
[ There are three young men dressed as Klingons who fight with Bat’leth in the park. Selina is passing by and shakes her head in contempt. The Three notice Selina, and quickly run to her. ]
[ Warrior #1 snaps his fingers, and some of these ridiculous swords from World of Warcraft appear on the ground. ]
[ The three cry “yeah”. Warrior #1 snaps his fingers and the huge swords are replaced by small wooden toothpicks. ]
[ She guides the three to the trail, where they make some battle cries and then hurl the toothpicks with great velocity at each other’s hearts ]

Meanwhile, I started studying Near East Archaeology in a different university in California, and now have to learn Sumerian, Akkadian, Phoenician, and Aramaic, at least for now.
Cuneiform is driving me mad, so I'm looking for a pastoral place to study it. This park is really lovely. ]
