It was another regular
day at Twinsville High School. Eggs, an average freshman student, sat down and
began drawing in his textbook. The teacher, Mr. Trip, noticed Eggs and said,
“Eggs, who is Gregor Mendel?” Eggs looked up at Mr. Trip. “I guess I'll go to
the principal’s office now.” Eggs stood up and rushed out of the classroom.
He walked to the
principal office but suddenly he thought, Heck,
what am I doing? He turned his walk and went into the janitor room. He
found a pile of used papers at the corner of the room. Fortunately he brought
his pen with him, so he continued drawing. He drew a monster attacking a city,
and then came up an Ultraman. When the bell rang in the middle of the day, he
had done a comic book. “Gregor Mendel was here,” he wrote a mark on the wall
before leaving the janitor room.
source Well, Sam, this is Ultraman and the monster. |
That's when he decided
to make his boring life more interesting. He wanted to create a monster. But
most of all, what he really wanted to create was a hero. A hero that could
defeat that monster. Eggs rushed back home. He stayed up all night that night.
He flipped through pages. He mixed chemicals. He laughed maniacally. After ten
minutes into the night, Eggs’ eyes began to close. He fell down and knocked
over two of his beakers. The breaker spilled into Eggs while he slept.
When he got up in the
morning, he realized that the beaker spilled onto him. At first, he was worried
that it might do something to him. He wander around his room frantically. He
was afraid that the beaker would turn him into a monster, or even worse:
Ultramonsterman! He heard his mom yell, and she reminded him that he must go to
school. And so, he waited for the rest of the day. At school, he imagined that
he suddenly got bigger and bigger and his skin turned green, and he would
destroy the school that he hated so much since ever. But, at the end of the
day, nothing happened. He went home sad.
That night, Eggs
couldn't sleep. He kept turning and rolling around in his bed. He was tired of
his normal life. That's when he decided to make a costume. Powers or not, he
was going to become a hero. He stayed up all night thinking of a design. After
coming up with a design though, he realized he knew nothing about making
clothes. So that night, he also stayed up thinking of a way to ask his mom for
help.
He was scared of his
mom. His mom always snapped at him if he did not get good grades. He imagined
saying to his mom, “Mom, since I want to be a surgeon, I need to learn sewing
by now. So, once I get into the medical school, I am already an expert at
sewing. I am going to sew human skin very well but for now I want to start by
sewing superhero costume.” Would she tell him how? What if he made the costume
from real human skin?
His mom agreed to teach
him how to sew. Seconds, minutes, and hours. Days, weeks, and months. Time ran
by and Eggs got better. By the end of the months, Eggs finally surpassed his
mother. His mother said, “Remember Eggs, sewing is about connection”. His
mother's words echoed in Eggs mind. He realized that he was given a power that
no one else had. He could tie criminals up by sewing them to other things. He
quickly sewed up a mask.
The mask was green and
oval, like the form of his head. When he looked at the mirror wearing the
mask, he thought, Oh my God, my head
literally looked like a big, green egg, and my name is Eggs, so I will just
call myself The Green Eggs. And that was how The Green Eggs was born. Now
he had to find monsters to fight, but first of all he had to shower. He had
been too absorbed sewing his mask and he stank so bad. I hope the monster won’t come up when I am showering. I like showering
in the state of peace with lavender soap. I wish the lavender soap won’t turn
into a monster. Damn, how do I get so paranoid? I am way too excited!
While showering, he
realized his shower took longer than expected. As the water sprayed down his
body, he came up with an idea. He took his shampoo bottle and body wash bottle
and poured one into the other and shook it. He rinsed it through his hair. As
it dripped down his body, he scrubbed. He turned off the water and exclaimed,
“I have invented body poo!”
Nothing much happened
afterward. His disappointment grew. He wander around the neighborhood smelling
lavender and went through an existential crisis. What I am supposed to do? What I am supposed to be? He couldn’t be
a superhero nor find a monster. He could only fight the monster through his
imagination. He sat in a park bench and began to draw again. Leaves were
falling. He hoped that the leaves would fall like raining cats and dogs and
buried him.
Then an idea lit up in
his mind. Dark clouds covered the sky. Eggs was going to create a chimera. He
wanted to fuse a human with other creatures. This was his chance to take his
sewing skills to the next level. He only thought about succeeding and not once
worried about the consequences.
Strong wind swirled
around the park. Rain fell out of the blue. A lightning bolt strokes on Eggs
and everything became dark. He did not know whether he was still alive or not.
All he saw after the darkness was a stray of light.
He heard a voice. It
said, “You're going too far. And for that, I must take you away from this world
and send you to where you belong.”
“Noooooooooooo!!!!” Eggs
screamed and gasped and found his teacher standing in front of him.
“Eggs, who is Gregor
Mendel?” ***
Note:
I made this story with a guy I met on Bottled. He came up with the idea of collaboration since we both love creative writing just for the sake of fun. He also took the first turn and gave the title. And he corrected my English.
Thanks, Dude.
(And he had no idea what was Ultraman.)
((And he's really creative and funny. And he has nice abs.))
(((And you can stalk him on his IG. It's private, though.)))
