Creative Writing

Mar 13, 2008 21:33

I found a few of my entries that I wrote during my creative writing class, where we just got a topic out of a hat (literally) and had to write about it for 5 minutes.

Batman
The idea of comic book superheroes is a good one, but they always gain their powers through extraordinary circumstances. I have never been an alien from Krypton, nor have I been bitten by a mutant radioactive spider. I am just a regular person.
Just like Batman.
I wonder if anyone in this room right now could be Batman. Looking around, I don't see anyone who fits the bill, but it's important to remember that Batman would want to remain inconspicuous. In fact, the BEST way for Batman to hide his true identity would be to go through psychotherapy so that even HE did not know he was Batman, and then also have a sex change. Basically what I'm saying is pretty much that... I AM BATMAN.
That's a clever idea, really, because now no one knows my identity, not even me, so there is no danger. I will just have to somehow erase everyone's memories after I read this out-loud in class.

Dear Doctor Edwards, phD
Thank you for ordering the Transamonatron 6000 from Insectsex Enterprises. We are pleased to have your business, and hope all has arrived in the condition you expected. If this is not the case, please don't hesitate to contact us about this purchase, using number 4122168 to identify your order. Enclosed in the wooden crate you will find specific instructions for how to reverse your Anthropomorphic Macrofication, please remove these instructions from the crate now, as you will need them promptly, in the event of an emergency.
Now that you are ready to begin assembling your Transamonatron 6000, there are a few simple rules we ask that you please keep in mind.
1. Please do not enlarge any insect beyond 600 times scale of its original size. If this overenlargement should happen to occur, for any reason, please refer promptly to reversal instructions.
2. Make sure to remove all clothing and shower thoroughly before operating the Transamonatron, as you may be injured in the unfortunate even that an insect on your body is accidentally enlarged along with your test insect.
We would like to thank you again and would also like to remind you to check out our line of Dipthermalin products. Remember that enlarging insects is nowhere near as fun as shrinking yourself, so for all your self-shrinking needs, trust Dipthermalin by Insectsex Enterprises.
