E-writing assignment 3

Limerick: My friend Jack

You might know my good friend Jack
His not a kind of cognac
His taste is exquisite
Your feelings revisit
While having a sip of this Jack

The Ode: Computer

O computer with thy screen so bright
Your body is squared and color have faded
Thou, weird form, you give me light
With all my quest you have me aided
It is said you have no own will
When by old age you are struck and invaded
Thou believe everything starts with nil
Your master shall continue getting you upgraded
To this generation you are considered a waste
They only think of trading you with haste

The Poem: self-conscious

I’m sitting here in the dark
Fearing the day someone makes another remark
Why me? What did I ever do to them?
I feel like a criminal the way I’m being condemned
It feels like I’m always at the edge of my seat
If they don’t watch I’ll knock you of your feet
You better think again I won’t back out of a fight
If that’s really what you want then all right
All these things that I hear might be subconscious
That’s what happens when your self-conscious

E-writing assignment 2

1)
“You're waiting at a bus stop in your home town. A well-mannered and well-spoken male tourist stops by and asks you for directions to places he says he's been told to visit during his stay. You offer to help him, but as the conversation continues you find yourself overwhelmed by a growing sense of unease.”
- Apologies friend, I seem to be lost. Could you point me in the direction of the nearest tourist information center?
- Oh, sure. I guess you are not from around here?
- Correct, I am from a far away country called England. Are you a local lad then?
- Was that a joke? I don’t get it…Yes born and raised here.
- Do you have any family or friends close by?
- That was a weird question…why do you ask?
- No reason, was just trying to make conversation.
- Well, the closest tourist information center is just down the road.
- Thanks laddie, but I think I’ll stay and keep you company for a while.
- Well, that’s ok I guess. Why are you visiting this town if I may ask?
- No special reason, I just heard it was a quite and calm town, is it true that most people here keep to them self?
- Yes, that is quite true. Most people here would not notice if someone goes missing.
- Seems like there’s not many people outside this late, it makes it all the easier for me.
- What? What do you mean by that?
- Well no one can here you scream!


2)
“Close after the murder of a local youngster while the police is investigating the crime scene. People are starting to gather around the police blockade, a familiar face returns to the scene.”
Police: Now now, nothing to see here! Everyone back off!
Stranger: What has occurred here? Did someone die?
Police: Seems like we have a murder case on our hands. The victim was slaughtered, it’s the worse thing I’ve ever seen.
Stranger: Any information about the victim?
Police: All the information is classified, there is nothing we can tell the public about it at the moment. The one thing I can say is that whoever did this is a sick bastard.
Stranger: I don’t think your giving the murderer enough credit, he is an artist in a dull world trying to stand out with his work.
Police: Wait what? The person that has the guts to do that to another human being deserves the chair! There’s nothing artistic about this, it’s just cruel.
Stranger: Well officer, seems that you might have a grudge with the killer. Wasn’t it just recently that he killed wife Sharon and your unborn son?
Police: Don’t you dare about them! The killers should be 6 feet under if it was not for that god damn fire!
Stranger: Now don’t get mad yet office, we still have so much discuss you and i. I can see the anger in your eyes, try to stay focused. What do you know about the killer?
Police: It has to be a male, in his late 30’s, about yay tall, dark hair, caucasian, that about all that we know about him. It feels like we are so close to finding out who he is, but we are lacking one detail.
Stranger: Oh officer, if you only knew how close you were at times. What is this last crucial detail that you are lacking?
Police: We need a face, we know almost everything about him but we cannot put a face on the killer yet.
Stranger: Here officer, take this note. It might aid you in your quest. “Walks away”.
Officer: Wait! “Opens the letter and finds a picture of his wife”.


3)
Ryan: This does not feel quite right.
Lewis: What’s wrong?
Ryan: This is kind of uncomfortable, I mean everyone else don’t complain so I guess I shouldn’t either.
Lewis: Don’t go playing with the adjustment, it might get worse.
Ryan: Oh god, this is even more uncomfortable. I’ll have to call for personal to get this fixed.
Lewis: I told you! You always do this, just stay put and it will be over sooner than you think.
Ryan: I wish I could but I don’t see the purpose I should suffer, I mean I paid the same amount of money like everybody else. So I should be able to at least be comfortable.
Lewis: Just try to focus on something else, it has been 2 hours already might as well endure this last hour.
Ryan: Well, what do you propose? I cannot really look at anything, the sun is to bright and it is starting to get really cold in here.
Lewis: Excuse me miss! Could we get a blanket over here?
Janet: Of course sir, in a minute.
Ryan: I’m starting to feel sick, think I am going to throw up. I don’t think it was a good idea to take those pills, I’m still scared out of my mind.
Lewis: Well now we know Ryan, next time you can try something else. I’ve heard a lot of people try getting drunk before to loosen up. Maybe you can try that?
Ryan: No way! I think that may just make things worse, then I might actually throw up.
Janet: Here is your blanket sir, can I get you anything else?
Lewis: No thanks, we are all set.
Ryan: Oh my god, feels like there is something going on. My seat is shaking and all.
Lewis: Yes just stay put, it will all be over in a minute or two.
