Chapter 3: The Cold War years
The 1960’s brought turbulent times for Neskk, who was only just recovering from the death of his much loved fiancée. Her death turned his heart to ice and subsequently resulted in the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the
From 1957-1970 Neskk was mysteriously missing from the public eye and as such many rumours regarding his whereabouts surfaced. The most popular of these was that he adopted the pseudonym John Lennon and formed ‘The Beatles’. This is mostly false; the truth is Neskk was all four members of The Beatles, as well as their guitars and Ringo’s left drum-stick. Two other theories have been posed to explain Neskk’s absence during these 13 years. Firstly the outlandish theorem put forward by Dr. Adolphus Dremensteinman Esquire that suggests Neskk was posing as the country of Vietnam, hosting (and playing puppet-master) to the hostilities between South and North Vietnam. Secondly and more generally accepted among academic circles is that Neskk spent the years from 1965-1970 travelling back in time (in a machine reportedly fashioned from an envelope and a great white shark). The purpose of these chronological cruises was purely recreational, travelling back in time to hunt dinosaurs with his best friend who was made of scissors. Finally and perhaps most controversially was the theory that Neskk in fact WAS the years 1957 to 1970 after learning that the universe had momentarily stopped expanding. In order to properly correct this anomaly Neskk was forced to become time (by eating over 102,786,000 alarm clocks) itself for over a decade until the universe had returned to normal. Of course, all 4 theories are probably true.
Neskk returned to the world stage as himself at the beginning of 1970 springing into action early. On January 12th he ended the Nigerian Civil War using only a small Cambodian child prostitute (which he later ate). Three hours later he invented pins and the direction up, hence becoming the first pin-up boy to the delight of many female (and male) fans. After throwing the first Japanese satellite, the Osumi, into space in February, and also starred in the World Cup scoring four goals for Brazil, Neskk spent the rest of the year working for a successful law firm as both the CEO and the office block that housed operations. By now Neskk decided he was ready for bigger things and so he decided it was now time to assume his adult form.
