/&gt;she stood still and unfettered&lt;br /&gt;as I tried to learn my place,&lt;br /&gt;how I wanted to look into her eyes and meet her face to face&lt;br /&gt;in my haste however, I made some bad mistakes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;until there was nothing left...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I created quite the mess that really fucked my chances&lt;br /&gt;of her greeting me with a smile during all of my childish advances.&lt;br /&gt;I want to tell her I'm sorry and it really wasn't me&lt;br /&gt;but in hind sight had I known this would've happened&lt;br /&gt;I would have gone to sleep,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with nothing left for me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wouldn't have held that hand&lt;br /&gt;and made all those neurotic advances&lt;br /&gt;would've kept to myself and not left everything to chances (failed)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when there would be something left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would've sat steady and observed the things I said&lt;br /&gt;I didn't mean for all of this to blow right through her head,&lt;br /&gt;and while I feel bad that she won't reply to me&lt;br /&gt;chances are instead she's crying herself to sleep,&lt;br /&gt;until there's nothing left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until there's nothing left to hold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking more on this, I wrote it a long time ago but It's not refined at all, still

Patterning&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rhetorical Patterning&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's  hard to pinpoint at what time I really did wake up last I slept, it's  any ones guess what really happened during that night and what is  proceeding into day light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to focus on the day ahead, but as I  tremble helplessly I can't help but think I must be dreaming still and  it cramps and crumples my heart into a little shard. What's left of this  world for me if all that I've done up until now resembles a blur not  unlike a dream? Was it even a positive experience, and can you call it  that in and of itself when it is the only experience you will ever know  with which to base any futures analogies on?&lt;br /&gt;It boggles the mind of  this I am sure. As the gentle and slow curve turns into a steady incline  and instead of hours and days you're transcending across months and  years. With what I can surmount inside my own head, I'm not sure where I  am is truly what I believe is real. In my head when I sleep at night, I  encounter things that resembles a reality much more closely than the  droning on of another real day.&lt;br /&gt;When I'm asleep am I the most awake?  It certainly seems this way, in fact the only thing that is absent from  my nocturnal life is a recognizable cast of characters. There is no  black haired, blue eyed angel whom I can call my own, she will not be  there when next I rest my head. Is the mind so complex, that it has  rooted out the other guy altogether? Do we really not need anyone but  ourselves? It causes me to furrow my brow as I sit here staring across  the desk inside my little hovel. I can only assume everyone else does  not care, nor do they acknowledge. If we are all truly human why do I  feel that no one can understand my plight? When I step out of these  doors, and I peer down the street in both directions, what is it that I  am protection myself from? Do I truly think and feel that at any moment  my life will end, and if this does so happen to each and everyone of us  only those who were driving the day will survive. It creates a world  where half of society's problems no longer exist, and I look on that as I  look on the morality of the initial idea. What if half of us died  because half of us carelessly ceased to believe what we did really did  not matter? To be Human is to be a part of the accessibility of the  other cast members. If one of those men that so happened to die was a  speciality doctor of physician who helped those born without hands, the  world would have lost that accommodation. In the end is it enough to  assume that the world would be better without this man, if he coveted  his wife, the neighbours, his daughter? For all the good one man can do,  the spot light of something bad may heavily out weigh it. To become one  with another Human being is a highly dubious notion, the feelings of  love are based stringently in a primal sense and speak to the volumes of  the animal agenda with which we live to this day. To say it's confusing  when I watch a man try to defend his entire life's work because of one  misguided night with another Human, it feels deaf to me. I'm sure that  man realized what he did, and he realizes that in the big scheme of  things that this misdeed should not cause such scrutiny.&lt;br /&gt;My pencil  drops and as I lean down to pick it up I bang my head against the brim  of my desk, causing me the only real feeling I've felt since I can begin  to remember what life I've lead. Would I feel a little more in tune  with my fellow creatures if I took the time to shatter my arm against  some sort of heavy object, so dense that the blood would reflect upon it  like an artists pallet? But what if that was all part of an alternate  feeling, and the pain was not a real thing that was truly happening?&lt;br /&gt;I  just remembered I was picking up my pencil, that's why I was down here.  The funny thing is I had no use for this utensil, it would help not  alert my superiors that I was not doing what it is I should be doing.  With what I am to do, does a pencil suffice as a tool of the trade?&lt;br /&gt;I  can't help but smile when I hear a gentle blip as if from a radar  screen in one of those older monster movies or fishing devices. The blip  as it turns out was a gash on my head, and the blood was steadily  falling from the small wound at a blip per five seconds. Is it that self  destructive that I would time the leaking fluids and not remedy the  situation? Maybe I like the idea of someone seeing me this way, maybe it  will give me a jump or a start? Likely no one will notice and those who  will won't pay me heed to any degree, the idea of self pity brings  about dangerous feelings inside of Humans. If I closed my eyes now for  instance, and I refused to open them, would they let me die here? In  this very chair, surrounded by three and a half walls? I have no one who  would acknowledge my presence, and hard pressed to find someone to care  enough to pull me away. Humans make connections, but the feelings are  all superficial to the point of a pack leader or part of the herd. I'm  thousands of feet off of the ground, but what I'm standing on feels just  as stagnant and unrelenting.&lt;br /&gt;If a bomb was called into this  building, and I was given the alert, would I run down the stairs and out  those doors? I guess what would happen if I was wrong, how would I face  myself had I chosen to stay, it would likely cause a rift in the  relationship.&lt;br /&gt;All this would need is a bell and it would feel just  like every other civil structure I've had to spend time in, I suppose  that's my fault for not following a love. A woman on the street, a black  dress, beautiful and stunning, the hair doesn't matter as it is  perceived differently amongst all people. But she's standing there, a  little absent minded as she twirls her hair in a flirtatious manner  talking on a mobile phone. She stands on her toes momentarily, and that  is when you begin to realize the chain of events unfurling - as chains  are sometimes apt to do.&lt;br /&gt;The man to your right is constantly  transferring the coffee between both hands, and the crowded line is  getting bigger for those waiting to cross. The streets are as busy as  any other day, she looks so whimsical and you want to interrupt the call  and show her how good you can be. But you don't, and that's what makes  you different from the person she's talking to on her phone. And he  could be miles away, maybe on another planet talking from some radar  dome, and you wouldn't amount to the same kind of experience he can  offer her.&lt;br /&gt;You want that chance, you feel like it was luck she met  him and not you. You hardly notice the fat impatient lady behind you  rummaging through her purse and gently nudging the gentlemen between the  lady in black and the fat woman. What she's looking for is not made  clear at that moment, but you don't care, you just want to focus on that  first line. If you can get passed this transgression you believe she'll  love you for who you are. You feel like you deserve it, deserve someone  who enjoys your quirks and mindless expressions that you can share with  only the most socially awkward Humans you associate with.&lt;br /&gt;The man  getting nudged is beginning to get upset, he must not accept the rule of  man where everyone has the right of way. Maybe he obeys the rule of  Jim, because for this exercise his name is that. For whatever reason he  abruptly turns not knowing it is a fat woman behind him, sending the fat  woman into an equalled abrupt frenzy. Causing the man next to her to  jump and send his coffee onto the back of the woman in the black dress.  This is your opportunity to jump in and rescue her from these ruffians,  but she steps off the curve and as you wait your life becomes much more  vital to hers. However the man makes a sudden movement as if he will  rescue the damsel in distress, but he notices your sudden lurch forward  as well. What happens? You both wait, the woman in black is startled but  luckily there are no traffic related hazards as the car incoming turned  left at the intersection.&lt;br /&gt;Not only is she mad at Jim, but at the man with the coffee, the fat woman, and you, too.&lt;br /&gt;It's  too late to rescue the idea of kindling a relationship now, she will  have none of it and none of you. What would I have done? I would have  waited, I would have waited until it was too late or absolutely  necessary. What would I have done if a bus was coming, something that  could not stop? I would have waited, and when it hit her, I would have  said nothing. As she cried laying on the pavement lamenting over her new  stature I would thought with such disdain at myself. Nothing I could do  would fix what I had hesitated to do, but, I would have likely  forgotten about it the next day.&lt;br /&gt;When I get out of this building  today, I want to not look both ways, I want to walk absent minded out of  the building and towards my car. I want to run down the stairs and not  take the elevator, my legs will hate me for it, but with that added  stimulation I might feel something more. A Humans mind is a fantastic  device, it creates complexity, design, and beauty. To think that any  other creature on this planet recognizes these things is hard to  imagine.&lt;br /&gt;I hardly noticed it was five o'clock thanks to my co-worker  though I am reminded that home time will soon be here. It's easy to see  what the earliest days of school were preparing you for now, they wanted  to break you into the routine that would follow you until the day you  become too old or enfeebled to perform it anymore. At that point, you  are lost, and you wonder what will happen if you just lay there. In your  bed, on your porch in an easy chair, who would come running if you  happen to hurt yourself.&lt;br /&gt;It's upsetting that I think of freedom as  the ultimate vice that I will ever face. It's a burden to have the  ability to think and recognize patterns, without this ability I would  not be sitting here five minutes after five PM still pondering life. I  would be back in my car and on my way back home, to spend the rest of  the day doing something not dissimilar to what I've done so far today,  yesterday, and from what I've known to what I will come to understand.&lt;br /&gt;It  is this routine that is most disabling, it causes Humans and people to  think outside of the box. But if this world had only people like me,  people like us, who sit and wait. No one would be hit by a car, half of  us wouldn't be dead. That adulterant man who fixes people would still be  alive to right personal wrongs against a system of karma that may one  day render him helpless and alone.&lt;br /&gt;But what if he still waits and I  just, not look, what if I'm the only one who deviates from the plan,  could this all work out? Would I still be the harbinger of the end for  half of civilization, or would I just be alone, as the one person who  stopped waiting.&lt;br /&gt;When I leave this office today, I'm going to run  down the stairs, and I'm going to march out that door. I won't look both  ways, and when that bus comes for the lady in black, I'll take her  place. Maybe then she'll notice me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4973142597650085554-4344693035634928318?l=ideaservices.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/feeds/4344693035634928318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/02/thoughtful-rhetoric-patterning.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/4344693035634928318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/4344693035634928318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/02/thoughtful-rhetoric-patterning.html' title='[Thoughtful] Rhetoric Patterning'/><author><name>Will Ohirko</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00594709171868596942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5v-pmNulxoc/TSpGvdoimsI/AAAAAAAAABI/S4VWLSNHssg/S220/2eda55533dd3f44239187e51d7bd50af.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973142597650085554.post-7852888669396775155</id><published>2011-01-23T17:47:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T17:47:51.583-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Will Ohirko'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rhyming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poem'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Remi Parks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><title type='text'>[love/rhyming] Short Poem, possible song</title><content type='html'>If you were rich&lt;br /&gt;and I was poor&lt;br /&gt;and I had money&lt;br /&gt;and you had more&lt;br /&gt;I'd still buy for you things you adore&lt;br /&gt;because for you I can afford&lt;br /&gt;things that shimmer and do not bore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;things to show how much my feelings grown&lt;br /&gt;things for you and you alone&lt;br /&gt;because for you I can safely say&lt;br /&gt;for nothing else I feel the way &lt;br /&gt;should poverty come&lt;br /&gt;should death come too&lt;br /&gt;I'd be satisfied with only you&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4973142597650085554-7852888669396775155?l=ideaservices.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/feeds/7852888669396775155/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/loverhyming-short-poem-possible-song.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/7852888669396775155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/7852888669396775155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/loverhyming-short-poem-possible-song.html' title='[love/rhyming] Short Poem, possible song'/><author><name>Will Ohirko</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00594709171868596942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5v-pmNulxoc/TSpGvdoimsI/AAAAAAAAABI/S4VWLSNHssg/S220/2eda55533dd3f44239187e51d7bd50af.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973142597650085554.post-8743628794504261418</id><published>2011-01-18T15:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-18T15:17:48.701-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Will Ohirko'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Psycho Drama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Slaren'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jessica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Whimsy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Remi Parks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fantasy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fiction'/><title type='text'>[Fiction[Whimsy/Fantasy] Paper, Clean That Room!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;A short story for a friend, and it turned out to be weird and sorted and why 6 pages? I do not know. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“PAPER, THIS ROOM IS A MESS, I thought I told you to clean it?” Her mom scolds her as she walks in and sees her fondling Kitty.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“You did?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“No excuses, clean it, NOW!” She exclaims and slams the door.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper frowns largely at the slammed door and gets up in a huff trying to think of all the fun things she could possibly doing instead of cleaning her dirty ass room. People generally told Paper that she has an ass amount of stuff, and that she should consider an overhaul of her room's contents.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper groaned as she picked up a shoe and then noticed a ball of crumpled paper behind it. The wind picked up and the paper ball was blown off down a path of mounds of toys and clothes. She didn't look for a window that was open, she started to run as the paper ball began to float faster away on a wisp of air.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper began to sprint after the ball as fast as she could and the second she got a little bit closer, the paper ball suddenly unfolded in the air into a origami bird. The spectacle was amazing and it made Paper go w&lt;i&gt;hoaaa&lt;/i&gt; under her breath. Then as the origami bird flew away she shouted and cursed shaking her fist at the little chicken shit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;It's at this particular moment that Paper notices she's not in her same old room anymore, this place was a strange jungle with sand all over the ground. As she spins around in her place she can see some sort of monolith that closely resembles a pinata from her room.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“This place is really, really dirty....”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper and Kitty would continue walking along through the jungle like setting of her room, marveling at how terrible everything looked. For some reason there are shoes all over the ground, littering it like normal places would have rocks and other stone debris.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;As Kitty and Paper continued to walk about, they suddenly heard the sound of someone pacing amongst the sandy surface possibly behind some of the jungle canopy. Paper brought a finger to her mouth letting Kitty know to be quiet, they then skulked up to a larger tree and peered around it to see another person looking somewhat out of sorts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Without a second thought Paper reaches down and grabs Kitty, and every so slowly she cocks her arm taking careful aim at the person and not be seen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“YAAAGGHHH!”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;She screams and launches Kitty from her arm cannon, with Kitty landing square on the young man's head and instantly digging her claws into his scalp.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The young man freaks out naturally from the sudden attack and Paper comes flying out of nowhere tackling him hard in the ribs. He falls to the ground gasping for air having just had the wind knocked out of him, and a cat latched to his head.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper was ready to pursue the attack but the young man looked so frazzled that she instead got up and dusted herself off over him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Who are you?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I, I, I'm R, Remi....”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The young man appears to be on the verge of some sort of break down with Kitty still stuck on his head.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper pulls Kitty off making sure she retracted her claws before she did, and sets her ammunition/friend on the ground next to her. She then looked down with a cocked eyebrow at this particularly frail person, who seems to be quite wound up. In a moment of charity she decides to reach down and offer him a help up back onto his feet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I'm Paper.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Hhhhh hi.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“What are you doing out here all alone?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I was just trying to hide.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper found this information odd, as she can't say she's seen anything else or anyone else besides him since she'd gotten out to this part of her room.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Who're you hiding from?” She asks as she walks over and sits down on a rock formation that looks like a chair to the side of her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I'm not sure, I just assumed people were looking for me.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Well that's pretty strange.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Well, I'm not like everyone else, so people always target me. I think.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“What about you is different?” Paper asks quizzically as this young man seemed as normal to her as anyone else.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I'm a cyclops?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“You're a cyclops?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Yeah, it's just I was born very short, and with two eyes.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“You don't look that ugly.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Ugly?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You don't look that short.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The young Cyclops' eyes got all bright and receptive, the puppy dog eyes or wonder and genuine love. “I'm really not that short???” He was beginning to get clingy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Yeah, whatever.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“OH THANK GOD.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Do you know your way around here at all?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Yeah, I've been everywhere and all over.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Good, lets go somewhere.” Paper responds and begins to walk off in just a random direction expecting Remi to follow her, however he just stands back watching her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;She gives him a stink eye and simply asks, “What?” with a clearly annoyed expression.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I haven't been there before.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper gave him a cold look and then walked over promptly grabbing him by the arm and dragging him along with her into the darkness of the jungle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper, Kitty and Remi would be walking for a good while until they came to a clearing with just sand and shoes about the ground. Then of course there was a huge ass tower sticking out of the ground. It seemed to stretch upwards forever, made of stone, and a very slippery stone at that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“That is one huge ass tower.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I wonder if there's anything in it.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper gives it a quick once over from their spot just at the brink of the clearing, she didn't see any way up or in. So they walked a little closer up to the base of the huge ass tower, however all of a sudden a voice called out from the tower.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“HEY, GET AWAY FROM MY TOWER.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“It's a nice tower.” Remi responds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“SHUT UP.” The voice shouts back crippling his stance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“What're you doan up there?” Paper says in a softer voice, to test a theory she has in her head.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME, YOU'RE NOT INVITED.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Suddenly a wooden door to a shed behind the tower is pulled open revealing a young woman cowering against the sunlight.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Aha!” Paper stands triumphant in the doorway to the shed behind the tower, with the young woman looking all the bit pissed off against the glaring brightness which has invaded.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Doesn't look very fun in there.” Remi remarks as he peers around the doorway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The young woman roars and leaps at Remi who proceeds to scream like a little girl as she stands over him almost pitying his cowardice. However she gives him a good kick to the ribs, “What's a girl and an ugly cyclops doing walking around here?” The young woman asks Paper..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper was taken back for a moment, she couldn't understand how this person could see Remi as an actual cyclops.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“We're cleaning my room.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“These are your shoes?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Yeah, I never knew I had so many.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“There's a big cluster of shoes over on top of that one hill over there.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Why do you have so many shoes?” Remi asks from his spot cowering on the ground next to the two women.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper gives a light kick to the torso, “C'mon, we're going to climb that one hill over there.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Remi flinches and stands up right next to the new person, looking over at her he notices he's just barely taller than her. The woman sees him looking at her and raises her hand as if she was going to back hand him, which sends Remi scurrying over to Paper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Why don't you come along?” Paper asks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I dunno, I'm a severely ugly troll, I was born short and without tusks.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“You people have a lot of hang ups.” Paper remarks as her left eye twitches.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I'll go with you, if I can have those.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“These?” Paper asks but then notices the troll wanting to wear her glasses. “But I can't see without them....”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“I have an idea.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The group continues along with their new friend Slaren, and her fancy new glasses. However since Slaren could barely walk straight with the glasses, and Paper couldn't walk straight without her glasses there came to be only one solution: a 3 man totem-pole.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Remi was on the bottom providing the walking ability and eyes, Slaren was in the middle as she had the next largest amount of mass, and Paper was at the top seeing things that people generally see when they get high on LSD.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“What's that?” Paper asks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“It's a shoe.” Remi said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“What's that?” Slaren asks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“It's another shoe.” Remi said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“What's that?”  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“It's a hill.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Ooo, we're here!” Paper waves excitedly however she starts to lose some balance and then grabs onto Slaren's face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The incredible discomfort causes Slaren to grab onto Remi's face compromising their only vision and means of transportation. As Remi begins to lose control of the whole situation he screams &lt;i&gt;abandon ship!! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;to which Slaren and Paper both blind have no idea how to react.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;In the coming seconds they came tumbling down except for Paper who had miraculously grabbed onto an over leaning tree branch that was near her head at a moment a clarity. Even more so incredible was that with her other hand she was able to get back her glasses before they would surely be broken by the collapse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Slaren got to her feet first leaving Remi to lay on the ground clearly still out of it, a dizzy mess complaining of double vision and sore joints.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Where's Paper?” Slaren asks beginning to realize she lost her magic vision. “Hey I can see, what gives!?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The trio climbs up the hill all the while encroaching on one of the last large clusters of shoes. Remi was dwindling behind the group and becoming faint from probably his non-stop complaining and whining. Paper took the initiative and postured up behind him and began pushing him up like a rolling sort of object.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Until they got to the top where all of a sudden his body collapses to the ground at the top of the hill. Slaren and Paper are almost overwhelmed and awestruck by the sheer volume of shoes that seems to be scattered about the hill top.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Remi on the other hand begins to make some awkward noises and they notice that he has begun to sleep, the top of this hill had a very comfortable feeling, a familiar feeling, one they could all agree felt  just right.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;After they realized he was sleeping, the other two cleared away the shoes to make a small space of which to lay down as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Time would pass and the morning sun would slip into the early afternoon twilight. Paper's mom decided she'd given Paper enough time to get some progress done on her room, so she wanted to check in on her again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;She instead opened the door to see Paper sleeping on her bed, next to Kitty under a mass of blankets and stray items and shoes. However suddenly Slaren sat up in the bed, and Paper's mom was taken back in a state of fear and shock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Before she could form the feeling she had in her mind into a clear and concise statement, Remi then sat up. This caused her mother to let out a very sincere scream, loud and vociferous.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Remi then screamed, Slaren screamed, Paper started to freak out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Slaren jumped up and tried to run however she ran into a chair and banged her head on the desk, which caused Remi to try to do the same however his legs weren't full awake and he tipped off the bed and crashed into a closet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Paper groaned and rolled back over, under the covers, she didn't have time for this.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;THE END.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4973142597650085554-8743628794504261418?l=ideaservices.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/feeds/8743628794504261418/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/fictionwhimsyfantasy-paper-clean-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/8743628794504261418'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/8743628794504261418'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/fictionwhimsyfantasy-paper-clean-that.html' title='[Fiction[Whimsy/Fantasy] Paper, Clean That Room!'/><author><name>Will Ohirko</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00594709171868596942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5v-pmNulxoc/TSpGvdoimsI/AAAAAAAAABI/S4VWLSNHssg/S220/2eda55533dd3f44239187e51d7bd50af.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973142597650085554.post-2723976225041957750</id><published>2011-01-12T15:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-12T15:20:15.474-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Will Ohirko'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Frantic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Worry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fiction'/><title type='text'>[Fiction[Comedy/Psychological] King Worry Prince Frantic / Paranoia Hill</title><content type='html'>^ That is a work title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was written last year some time by myself, with insight provided by my friends one of which being my internet spouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's predicated around two insanely unstable people and has further been built upon but this was the first instance, a short story.&lt;br /&gt;ENJOY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time, there did live a peculiar group of people. They were  each represented by a certain degree of personal quirk, and it should  not shock anyone that they live in a castle on Paranoia Hill. A humble  and remote place of worship, where a just and great king, King Worry  presides over all the land ruling over what some may call a diverse  kingdom. &lt;br /&gt;At his right hand his young heir, Prince Frantic sits ever  vigilant for one day he will take his seat at the helm and make known  his name. The kingdom has few dignitaries in the court, one of these  dignitaries is Lady Paps. She being a peculiar figure herself, one who  suffers from severe amnesia and brain lapsing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this blissful  afternoon, King Worry sits at his throne gently sipping from a goblet  while enjoying the royal crosswords of the day in the local news letter.  The peaceful silence is only momentarily broken as a bird flies shallow  over the hall, or past a window. While causing King Worry to jostle  suddenly it soon passes and all is well in his presence....~&lt;br /&gt;“KING!  KING!” Young Frantic exclaims as he bursts into the royal throne room  causing quite the commotion, and in turn King Worry throws his royal  beverage at the young ward. The goblet however is too heavy and lands  shattering a few feet from the Prince,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“AHH!!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King Worry sheaths  the royal handgun back in his ankle holster before the Prince can make  note of it, and shakes off those thoughts that withdrew it,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“what is it  young Frantic?” King Worry asks in a royal tone with a royal beckoning,  drawing the young man&lt;br /&gt;further into the desired range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Lady Paps, your  Highness.” Frantic begins to explain as he takes quick looks around the  room, not wanting the masses to hear his words. He beckons the King's  ear closer, to which Worry places a hand down near his ankle clasping  the grip of the royal gun through his lower attire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Her birthday sir,  she is turning of age.” Frantic whispers causing a sudden chill to rush  through the King and making him ever so lightly grip the trigger. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BANG! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  gun fires through the ankle holster causing Worry to scream out in a  shrill tone as if he is fainting from a fatal blow,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“THE KING HAS BEEN  SHOT!” Prince Frantic screams as he draws the royal taser from his royal  belt. Frantic turns it on the only other person in the room, the royal  janitor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What treachery is this?!” He demands and lunges at the poor  man, shocking him repeatedly until he was left to convulse on the floor  soiling himself in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Once again you have saved the King's  life, young Heir.” King Worry whispers delicately from behind the  prince,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“had Phil carried out his dastardly deed, who knows what state  this kingdom would be in.” King Worry proclaimed as he slowly walks back  to his throne his arms clasped behind his back as he ponders what will  happen next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A reward is in order, you may help yourself to the Royal  pantry!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A hundred gratitude's my Liege, however there is still the  matter of Lady Paps.” Prince Frantic reminds the king of why he  originally had summoned himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Why yes, I do believe I know of just  the place where we may find her a gift of incredible worth!” the King  exclaims raising his hand with a single index finger extended, “you do?”  Frantic seems ever enthralled with the King's ability to think so  rationally after having nearly been assassinated. “Ready the royal  escort, we make haste to the Inner-City!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the kingdom that  the royal court of Paranoia Hill is vast and enormous, the royal party  always seem to find what they want lies within the Inner-City portion of  the kingdom. The Inner-City closes resembles that of an urban suburbia  alike Detroit, L.A., or downtown New Jersey with all the gang influence  of Japan and other foreign criminal super powers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The royal escort (a  brightly colored yellow automobile) arrived deep within the Inner-City  around four O'clock in the afternoon. The brightly colored graffiti  mocked the chalky and mute tones that the sky scrapers and complexes  seemed to exhibit. King Worry stepped out of the royal escort and  adjusted his royal attire as he waited for Frantic to slowly peek  outside and join him standing on a rough looking cement laden side walk.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Now then, we must consult the royal party planner! One, Tanequia  Jones of Party-Zone co.” King Worry explains to young Frantic who seems  to be ever slowly adjusting to the bustling pace of the inner city life,  his hand on the royal taser, ever ready.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They would walk for  what seemed like a long time, however the sun would remain persistent as  if late noon for an eternity was cursed upon this wretched place. King  Worry suddenly stops however in mid step, causing Frantic to become  alerted,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“why have we stopped!? Is something amiss!?” he questions in a  perplexed manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It would appear our intended “Party-Zone co.” has  become something else, something called “Royal-Escort inc.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What  treachery, whole and rotten,” Frantic readies his royal armament but is  halted by his King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is splendid news! Come now, we must search out  miss Tanequia before we have overstayed our visit.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They walk  into the small store like atmosphere and are greeted with loud urban  dance music and wall to wall black and gold colors, posters of women and  men, and of cars and jewelery in glass cases. Standing behind one of  the glass cases is a young woman who does not look like the royal party  planner Tanequia. A woman much more plain, much more blonde and wearing  what would be an otherwise boring dress suit combo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May I help you?”  she asks in a very customer friendly way,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“why yes you may very well be  able to! We are searching for the one they call Tanequia, a party  planner of the King's court.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I'm not certain we have any girls with  that name, we are a professional organization with three branches  across the country. Our girls and men are well bred, well mannered, and  above all professional. As you may know by now, money talks in this day  and age, so if you want something it'll have a price attached. A man of  your obvious wealth I'm sure has no need for this talk, but it is  customary that I let you know our employees will go to great lengths to  make your evening or event memorable.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is indeed great news! I  trust that your group also handles birthday parties?” King Worry asks as  he browses the glass encasement with jewelery and assorted accessories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Birthday parties, graduations, promotions, bachelor parties. In fact,  we have a special building we reserve for VIP's if you are interested in  arranging something bigger for your needs?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It sounds marvelous indeed! If you could have it arranged for later tonight I and my court would be most pleased!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Very well, a limo will be sent to pick you up around ten o'clock tonight.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ti's  beautiful to have you assist us in making this night special for our  dignitaries.” King Worry and Prince Frantic shake the young woman's  hand,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Who is the birthday party for?” she asks inquisitively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A court  dignitary.” to which she begins to write down notes in a small flip open  coiled notebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Now we must make leave to prepare for this evenings  festivities, come young Frantic!” King Worry grabs the young Prince's  arm and leads him outside while the young blond woman begins to plan out  the evening. When suddenly she hears a shriek like someone fainting, a  gun shot, and a blood curdling scream, shortly after with police sirens  in the distance. Thinking nothing of this she continues to arrange the  scenario for the birthday party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few hours later back at Paranoia hill after an eventful exit from the Inner-City...~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King  Worry and Prince frantic arrange for a royal birthday card to be made  in Lady Paps honor, but no one can be certain of her real age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What  foolhardy nonsense is it, for a King to fret such a nonsensical  things?!” Worry demands as he and Frantic have been sitting in the  throne room for a good forty minutes trying to decide what to put on the  card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Why what if we ask her, your Highness?” Frantic deliberates  while King Worry looks somewhat intrigued by his idea. “You mean, ask  her ourselves?” he speaks with a coy smile,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes, sire!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The King  leans back in his seat, smiling and laughing like a loon, almost  maniacal in a way,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“how delightfully devilish, but such a plan must be  handled with great care... Young Frantic, summon Lady Paps at once!”  King Worry instructs with a simple hand gesture to which Prince Frantic  acknowledges and immediately darts off through the main doors screaming&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“HEY! HEY!” repeatedly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, a plan that must be handled with great, care, hmm....&lt;br /&gt;A  few moments later Lady Paps is rushed in looking distressed by Frantic  with the royal taser in hand,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What's the matter, were you followed!?”  the King demands answers from his subordinates while Frantic bars the  doors closed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I'm not sure, I heard footsteps!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We must be careful,  an attempt on my life was made earlier this day!” the King bellowed to  which Frantic immediately leaped upon Phil's still inanimate body  grasping it by the collar of his one piece work attire,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“WHAT KNAVARY IS  THIS!?”Frantic screams as he shakes Phil's lifeless body.&lt;br /&gt;Lady Paps  looks wholly shocked and a bit taken back by the news that Phil would  try such a thing, and it was then that the King turned the attention to  more pressing matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“M'lady, you have been summoned before this  court to be posed with a hypothetical question, one which merits no real  consequence or reality.” the King goes on instructing her, to which  Lady Paps simply replies,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kay.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If you were to have a hypothetical  dignitary, who had hypothetically been born of a woman a time ago that  was coming upon an anniversary of sorts, what MIGHT you write on piece  of paper that may OR may not have a cat on the front proclaiming its  hatred of Mondays?” King Worry finishes while Lady Paps look unfettered  and not bothered,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“umm, uhhh....” she pauses for an indefinite amount of  time not fully understanding what he is asking of her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You ninny,  I'm wanting to know how old you are!” Worry scolds her with a small  twitch on the right side of his face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Umm, uhhh....” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“F*&amp;amp;%!”  King Worry exclaims and grabs for the closest writing utensil available,  a red ink, two dollar pen. With which he uses to inscribe the card  expressing his profound hostility and outright anger towards the whole  misadventure that today has been. He throws the pen into the royal fire  place which causes ink to explode out of the pen with fire attached and  small flares begin to sprout around the range of the area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“HAPPY  BIRTHDAY, M'LADY.” King Worry sarcastically scolds her as he presents  her the card and walks off out the main the doors, leaving Lady Paps  standing with a smile on her face and Prince Frantic with the royal fire  extinguisher to put out the ruptured ink blazes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hours would  pass by in the royal throne room, and eventually the janitor Phil came  to. He slowly gained his wits about him, his soiled pants have now  become merely a damp, smelly silhouette on his attire. The royal clock  was striking ten, and Phil was left to gather himself and try to recall  what had happened. As he stumbled around the royal halls he came across  Lady Paps and as she saw him she smiled and handed him the card,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Happy  Birthday!” before Phil could muster a response she had already  disappeared into the darker reaches of the castle. &lt;br /&gt;Phil got cleaned  up as best he could before he gathered his things to go home, still  holding the card in some perplexed understanding he opened the royal  front doors to which he was greeted by a large cavalcade of exotic  looking women and men all in expensive looking clothing, or lack there  of in some cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hey there,” one of the ladies said as she suddenly  eyed the card in his hand, “Birthday boy~”&lt;br /&gt;to which Phil did little else but smile, at that point and for most of the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=============================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well there you have it, the first concepts of Prince Frantic and King Worry of Paranoia Hill.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4973142597650085554-2723976225041957750?l=ideaservices.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/feeds/2723976225041957750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/fictioncomedypsychological-king-worry.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/2723976225041957750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/2723976225041957750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/fictioncomedypsychological-king-worry.html' title='[Fiction[Comedy/Psychological] King Worry Prince Frantic / Paranoia Hill'/><author><name>Will Ohirko</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00594709171868596942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5v-pmNulxoc/TSpGvdoimsI/AAAAAAAAABI/S4VWLSNHssg/S220/2eda55533dd3f44239187e51d7bd50af.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973142597650085554.post-6950682647216435105</id><published>2011-01-12T00:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-12T00:33:30.322-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Will Ohirko'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Slaren'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TV Ball'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Trash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Remi Parks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='White'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fiction'/><title type='text'>[Fiction[Comedy/Parody] TV Ball</title><content type='html'>Now for something a little more fun, I was just talking with my friend and internet spouse? Slaren&lt;br /&gt;http://slaren.deviantart.com (and some Tumblr account I can't remember.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for some reason I just thought about a bunch of inner-city youths playing a game that I saw in my head as a child kicking a TV while wearing a pair of work boots. And I guess it just expanded from there into some perverse parody of all sports and poverty inner-city areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess you can read some thoughts on the idea if you want, these excerpts are fairly "rough" in terms of finality.&lt;br /&gt;Comedy is definitely something that comes to me a lot easier than drama and fantasy, but I'm trying to work on that particular area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check it out after the jump&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Picture an inner-city like any other in midland America, run entirely by powerful corporate empires that barely exist in the city aside from factories and their estates &lt;i&gt;up the way&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;The season is spring, and although many parts of the continent may have some snow fall, this particular 'zone' does not suffer such plight. All of this information however is irregardless of the potential problems of this city, one such problem being the amount of children constantly in and out of high school with absolutely no goals in life besides sitting on a porch and guessing if the person walking by is a man or a woman or Mr. Shackle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;People, this is an ever growing problem and I for one have been getting heat from the city council.” Mr. Peters slammed his fist against the long poor crafted table that they all gathered around during their City Organizer meetings. “We need to get this shit hole back together and it's gotta be fast.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Mr. Peters was trying his best to seem genuine and not just playing up potential hidden cameras lodged in the walls waiting for the opportunity to fire him on the spot. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Dammit people, is there nothing we can do!?” He pleads with his fellow SOL's.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;We've done everything we can, the problem is the kids, they're terrible fucking SOB's.” A fat man retorts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Lardo's got a point, Peters. We've tried everything we can, we've arranged functions and forced traditions, forced land marks. Those little bastards ruin everything we put out there!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Let's stop focusing on what's not working, what do we have, I know it's not a lot,”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;You got that right, 'cause all you're looking at in terms of “inventory” is broken appliances and smoke stained clothes from house fires without survivors.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Mr. Peters slammed his hands down again in frustration roaring at his dilemma, “The fuck can we do with a pile of fucking odorous work boots and technology that was brand new when WWII was on the horizon!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;He let out one final scream and kicked at a small appliance that was left at his feet. The boxy TV traveled a short distance rolling and chugging against the friction and gravity holding it back from gaining any significant momentum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Peter's bit his lip to the point he felt like blood would be drawn and then an absolute miracle happened in his mind, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;an epiphany&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Wait....”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;The others around the table looked at Peter's with an awe struck concern above any other sort of reaction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;I've got it, I've fucking got it!” Peterson exclaims punching the air and clasping his fist like a super villain, “We're going to organize a sports league, a recreational league!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;We've been over this before, we don't have the money, all sports require a monetary investment. They won't give us money for toilet paper for our building which will become a bingo hall in the next 20 minutes. Why do you think they'd give us money for something like that, something that might not even work.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Again, Lardo's right Peters, it's not gonna happen.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;No, Rich, it WILL happen!” Peters replied with a maniacal laugh which causes the group some distress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;We have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;everything &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;we need right here!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Peters....”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;“&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Gentlemen, I present to you, TV Ball.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;The group responded with a resounding “Uhhh....”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;But Peters' mind was already fully set in motion, and even though they couldn't see it he was determined to make them see the light. He pulled out a scrap piece of paper and took a pen from his jacket pocket, with these two instruments he scribbled out the basis for what would be his dream to reform “the whole fucking community” as Peters' put it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;The men and women around the room one by one were opened up to the idea of Peters' sport.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;In Peters' mind the children would be donned in heavy metal toe work boots, and the ball in TV Ball would a TV that is otherwise a heavy box with a screen impervious to shattering. The rules were just ringing inside his head and he rattled them off to his colleagues he furiously began to take notes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;The playing field would be the large vacant lot that has been unused since all those Native American graves were desecrated there and the land was cursed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;It's a P.R.

She carries with her a folder designated to one of her more recent patients.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;This particular doctor specializes on what goes on 'between the ears' and she's here to bring concerns to her immediate superior, concerning one: Trevent Sawyer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;“Good afternoon, Ms. Handel.” The older gentlemen greets the good doctor from the confinements of his desk, itself adorned with miscellaneous souvenirs of war.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Ms. Handel lightly drops the folder down onto the man's desk, taking a moment to clear her throat she begins to speak “I'm here about one of your men.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The General feigns interest in her claim as he cocks an eyebrow more humoring than anything. Before the awkward silence can be broken again by Ms. Handel the older man retorts “Is something amiss, Teresa?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“General, it's concerning a soldier who was sent to see me recently, his name was,” she pauses as she struggles to remember his name, however everything else about this particular case was weighing much heavier than this particular soldier's moniker.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Private T. Sawyer?” He remarks looking to the file which prominently displays the soldier's name and rank.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes, regarding the evaluation I was to perform on Mr. Sawyer.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I wish we had more like him, he really seems to be born for this purpose.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mr. Sawyer may do well to take a leave of absence so we can better diagnose his difficulties.” She said swallowing afterward, Ms. Handel is not the most confident woman even in a position of considerable importance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mr. Sawyer is having difficulties? He has been nothing but exceptional since he enlisted for basic training, this very moment he is performing for our species in a war that has never once turned in our favor.” The General raised his hand as he paused to clear his throat, his hand then lowers back resting on the desk “excuse me.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Y, yes.” Teresa responded timidly trying to regain the purpose of why she came to him in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“However, Mr. Sawyer has raised a number of flags in tests I had him do for me. These flags generally express anything from instability mentally or some sort of mental distress.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The General further humoring the younger doctor swiftly scooped up the file and holding it in his large palm began to flip through just barely skimming the surface of the apparently troubling documentation regarding Trevent Sawyer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As I said before, Pvt. Sawyer has done nothing but exceed expectations. Why is it that you feel, that he needs to be removed from duty so adamantly, Teresa?” the General was clearly a much more intimidating figure than herself, and held himself with a higher regard than she likely held herself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I just think, it would be neglectful to let Mr. Sawyer potentially,” she paused biting her lip to think of the proper word, “self-destruct.” she finished her eyes showing a sincerity not easily expressed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have served in the field, I've been on the front lines when my name was called. I've read several reports written about the conduct in which Mr. Sawyer carries himself and quality of work he produces. He is the nightmare for our enemies that we covet the most.” The General promptly flips the folder closed and drops it back to his desk, having hardly acknowledged the pleas of Ms. Handel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Through a series of questions we saw stark responses from Mr. Sawyer that expressed a clear disregard for life.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Teresa, the man is fighting a war, for his family and for his friends. He and many others fight and kill day and night, soldiers cannot have an over-sensitivity towards life. This is war.” He looked down at her as the light from the large windows flickered as a low flying bird passed by.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It's not that he devalues the life of his enemies, but from carefully observed and re-observed brain mapping, and neural procedures, as well as strategic questionings,” She was rambling at this point and even a caring individual would have stopped her dead, let alone a powerful speaker such as the General.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What did he say?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well through conclusive means of unearthing the truths in his words we discover,”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Teresa,” he interrupts once more, “what did Mr. Sawyer say?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It's not what he says but what it means?” She responds a little taken back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In our culture, a man's word is as good as any 'probative' testing.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sir, Mr. Sawyer is losing a fight internally that's more powerful than any weapon those things can throw at him. Further flooding his senses with blood and slaughter will not produce any kind acceptable results as a human or soldier.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The general lets out a low audible chuckle under his breath, but clearly heard by Dr. Handel, “sir, Mr. Sawyer sees himself as a sentinel of death. He could potentially make very dire decisions that will reflect on his life, lasting long after he's dead.” She finally blurts out, likely quoting a line from her own evaluation of the young man in question.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don't know what you're going off about, Teresa. You're singling out a young man with a very real future ahead of him, slandering him for something that has NO probability of happening. If he was shot and wounded tomorrow you would likely feel as depressed as you ever have in your life.” The General paints a grim picture of the futility of war and enunciates masterfully.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However Teresa gathers up the file and papers, then decides to say one last thing as she finds herself at odds end to be understood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mr. Sawyer exhibits signs of a sociopathic nature, the same people who murder indiscriminately. His job is to fire a rifle, I don't think it's right to subject him to these images on a daily basis!” She raised her voice and stood firm in the doorway trying to be assertive after dispensing the most powerful part of her findings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The General however appears to have found comfort in other things, drawing a pen and a paper from his to-do list followed by a halfhearted grunt “Good bye, Teresa.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Dr. Handel slowly walks back towards her office within the compound, her head down, her arms clutching the folder. She stays strict to her pace until finally dropping into her chair letting out an exasperated sigh, with the folder falling onto the desk next to her Computer Terminal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;On the terminal is her final write up, that she is obligated to finish on behalf of the military and their program that ensures the health and upkeep of soldiers in the field. It feels rather redundant however that she continue to raise these issues with her superiors, as no one of interest sees the report until the subsequent trials and or summits resulting in calls for reform.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;It's true Teresa hadn't seen the horrors and realities of war, when you're on the field and the only thing left to grip to is a rifle capable of ending whole families.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The truth is Trevent Sawyer is just the next one, in a long line of celebrated serial killers working for the military. For all the bad they may eventually commit against the human race, they will have likely killed thousands of enemy troops, destroyed hundreds of enemy vehicles all along a brutal campaign that inevitably ends in tragedy.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;It is well documented when these soldiers are put into a situation where the environment is much more urban, and populated by human civilians a dense number of casualties can be accumulated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;As a frantic woman rattles off a report, millions of miles away on a planet too far to be seen by humane eyes a fresh batch of human soldiers embark on a mission into a desert occupation. Where potential human civilians are being kept as collateral for possible terrorist acts to further evoke action from the UN forces.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;One human soldier charged with liberating this particular encampment is that same Pvt. Trevent Sawyer, of whom the good doctor was so concerned.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;With over 78+ confirmed kills to his name Pvt. Sawyer is held in high regards among his squad, and his superiors often task him with the more intense situations where a calm head is required.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;They embark up the pathway towards the desert encampment that is currently occupied by enemy forces, just as millions of miles away that same doctor is finishing her report.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Trevent Sawyer has exhibited many signs that he finds it easy to dehumanize himself and those around him. He has shown that it is not only a disregard for the enemies that he sees daily, but the people around him and those he's supposed to protect.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;There is a high probability that if Pvt. Sawyer is not relieved and these issues addressed, that potential consequences will be inevitable.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The Captain of the group signals to Sawyer to hop up around the back of one of the major compounds, as he complies the rest of the team assembles around the entrances. Tactical grenades are thrown in that are used to distract and stun the potential targets inside.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The command is given for 'safeties off and weapons high' the group operates in unison charging inside and beginning the liberation easily systematically conquering the obstacles within.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We have seen many times, well documented cases where other professionals have addressed other soldiers with the same potentially dangerous signs as Pvt. Sawyer. Documentation from case studies performed on Sgt. Jackson Presley and Pvt. Miller O'nally, where soldiers exhibited sociopathic tendencies and were not properly handled. Heavily commented already the case of Jackson Presley and the murder suicide committed which killed over 9 UN soldiers of varying ranks and purpose.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Regarding Sgt. Jackson his case file clearly outlined the potential of acting out in that manner, where as I fear the potential for Pvt. Trevent Sawyer may have the probability for a much more demoralizing end.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The group stakes out another building as the dust clouds begin to swarm around them compromising some of the vision even regarding the advancements in their suits and equipment. The red and yellow blurs they've been taught to cope with, so as they come to this final identical setup with a powerful sun illuminating every possible shadow Pvt. Sawyer takes his place in heaven.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;They act in unison and dispense of the last of their tactical equipment having this last building to liberate. The group below charges in with guns high and proper form, the Captain notices the silence and the absence of enemy activity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Captain organizes the group and radios to Sawyer over the comm system with which they are connected through suit mechanics, “Sawyer, what's your status?” he calls a second time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He alerts his team that Sawyer may have been compromised and the group splits up 2 to a side and they embark up the poorly crafted staircases. A thin railing that would barely support the weight of a fully equipped soldier if he leaned on it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The two groups met at the top ceiling bunker within the compound, for the most part the rest of it was pretty well open and used mostly for housing supplies for the community that existed in this encampment. A proper meager living but still, they had every right to live within the UN's territories.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Captain attempted radio once more as the 4 stood outside the door to the roof bunker, generally referred to as heaven in a squeeze. “Sawyer, we are outside heaven and coming in, stay low.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The Captain postures in front of the door and sends a heavy weighted kick into it slamming it in two and falling to the ground with the bottom half clinging to the hinges. Inside heaven it was a darkened area but it was clear you could see Sawyer walking out from the shadows with nary a scratch on him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sawyer?” One of the group asks as he walks through the doorway and past them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Captain picks something up from inside his suit, and tells the other two to go with Sawyer to the extraction point where they'll have a shuttle waiting. The other soldiers comply and retreat from the compound behind Pvt. Sawyer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;War brings out the absolute worst in us, and it takes a clear and stable mind to be able to handle what difficulties are brought to us. As a doctor of mental health I may never fully understand the merits of a particular mind in armed combat when it means the safety and never compromising heart of the Human worlds all strung together.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;But when a potentially unstable mind acts out, it may be a situation no one possibly saw coming. And as much as it may hurt the integrity of the program of which we all abide, it may very well destroy what was once a good hearted human being.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The Captain takes a step inside the box room to confirm what he was told, and he grits his teeth as he looks on in disbelief at a small lifeless body on the dusty floor matted in blood. He kicks the bottom half of the door hanging off the hinges and as he leaves the room he mutters under his breath, “Christ Sawyer....” he holds back letting anymore slip out, and furiously exits the compound to awaiting team.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The look on Sawyer's face is one the Captain has been trained to deal with, it's not something that comes easy in fact it comes with much more weight than any other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Private Trevent Sawyer was born a killer, and it will one day be tasked upon one of them to end his life's work prematurely as has happened hundreds of times before..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Before we lose another one, please consider these findings. It may not mean much to the world, but it would mean the world to this young man and his loved ones.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Signed:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dr. Teresa Handel&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4973142597650085554-8436564159973312214?l=ideaservices.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/feeds/8436564159973312214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/fictionwarpsychological-working-title.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/8436564159973312214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/8436564159973312214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/fictionwarpsychological-working-title.html' title='[Fiction[War/Psychological] Working Title: Evident to Some'/><author><name>Will Ohirko</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00594709171868596942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5v-pmNulxoc/TSpGvdoimsI/AAAAAAAAABI/S4VWLSNHssg/S220/2eda55533dd3f44239187e51d7bd50af.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973142597650085554.post-1083996117768236226</id><published>2011-01-09T22:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-09T22:11:07.937-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I've made a blog</title><content type='html'>I write, nothing fancy, I'll update after this with a post.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4973142597650085554-1083996117768236226?l=ideaservices.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/feeds/1083996117768236226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/ive-made-blog.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/1083996117768236226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4973142597650085554/posts/default/1083996117768236226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ideaservices.blogspot.com/2011/01/ive-made-blog.html' title='I&apos;ve made a blog'/><author><name>Will Ohirko</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00594709171868596942</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5v-pmNulxoc/TSpGvdoimsI/AAAAAAAAABI/S4VWLSNHssg/S220/2eda55533dd3f44239187e51d7bd50af.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
