Experiment #12 The Elevator Pitch

So I'm taking an elevator up to the top of a building
All of a sudden someone calls for it halfway and it stops
The doors open
And who walks in?!?
Stan Lee!!!
Don't poop your pants, Adiel
Do. Not. Poop.
"Hello, True Believer", he says
I poop a little.
"Mr. Lee, I'm a huge fan and I happen to write a little as well"
"Is that so?", he says unenthusiastically looking at his watch
Crap, he's getting off in a few floors
I don't have much time
Time for an elevator pitch

"So, it's called the Assassin and the Shadow. It takes place on U.S. soil, 20 years after an economic collapse. The country is overrun by gangs fighting over remaining resources. There's this Ninja Assassin and she's only 23 so she doesn't remember her name or her past. She's the deadliest most-feared silent killer, and she works alone killing all the gangs and taking the resources for her own. She accidentally saves this black shadow animal (most animals are extinct at this point so she has no idea it is actually a cat). The cat tries to follow her but she refuses but then the cat ends up saving the Assassin and they decide to team up against the gangs and thanks to the cat she slowly begins to uncover her past memories and *huff* *huff* *huff*...

The elevator stops at Stan Lee's destination
"That's a good one, True Believer, but we're not looking for anything like that at the moment"
"Besides we already have The Black Cat, Felicia Hardy"
"But, sir" I say as he's walking out,
"My Creative Writing teacher, Professor Bradford, gave me an A on my narrative for it"
"Wait, did you say Professor Bradford?", Stan Lee asks
"Yes"
"Professor Wade Bradford?"
"Yes, Mr. Lee"
"Why... why Wade Bradford is the smartest most creative man alive!", Stan Lee says with enthusiasm
He thinks about it for a second
"Well if it's good enough for Wade Bradford, it's good enough for me! Welcome to team Marvel, son"
I clench my butthole with all my might to prevent an all out poop fest
We join together in song

"You'll belong, you'll belong, you'll belong, you'll belong to the Merry Marvel Marching Society"

"March along, march along, march along to the song of the Merry Marvel Marching Society" ...

The Ghost With No Manners (Experiment #4)

The Ghost With No Manners Laid out on the couch Wasted Waves in the corner of my eye I turn to find a figure, beaming with multicolored light Moving across my wall I guess people don't knock anymore Floating around like he pays the rent Whatever TV's on Vision blurry A loud crash Turn to a shattered mug on the floor Really bro? That's rude I don't go to your dimension and start knocking things down ... or up ... or out ... or whatever directions your dimension has You listening to me? No response I guess people don't say hello anymore I jump as the bathroom door slams Jesus! It's 2am. Keep it down I don't know what to do with this guy I'm dosing off I feel the hairs on the back of my neck rise Hearing an eerie whisper in my ear "Everyone you know will someday die Then they will be with me, and not with you" ... You're a jerk.

I think I know what to do

I have to prioritize And to think they want me to be General Manager Not gonna happen I'm gonna quit this management job I have to I'll do summer school I'll get a job as a bank teller when the fall comes That's a little more in line with my economics major anyway Less hours, sundays and holidays off No more 24 hour-a-day Motel 6 schedule I can do it I have a plan now A way out Light at the end of the tunnel

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Souls (Experiment #1)

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Souls         It was Sunday when my friends called me up. Perfect weather, perfect day. Didn't matter to me, depression has no preference in climate. It sounded like they had already been drinking. Almost noon, good start. They've been trying to get me out of the house for months now, and today seemed like the day to battle my demons. Golf they said, how predictable. Not much of a sports guy, or a people person, but whatever let's golf.          They pull up in Roger's '99 Porsche Carrera. I thought he had sold that piece of junk. George gets out of the passenger seat and folds it down for me to get in. "How's it going, cocksucker?", he says, douchey as usual. I don't respond. I get in to find Roger's girl in the backseat, Rachel Feinstein. My heart starts pounding as I slide in next to her. My knee touches hers and I quickly jerk it away. She simply cracks a smile and says, "Hi". I die. I simply can...
