It's the opening to my memoir for Creative Writing class. It also has a blatantly obvious reference to Final Fantasy VI.
--
Sometimes I say to myself. "Jonathan, there's sand on your boots." "Why thanks Jonathan, that's good to know. I wonder how that sand FEELS." "I don't know, should we ask it?" "No, I bet it feels just fine." "Well that's no good. How can you be happy if you’ve never been sad?" "You're quite right, you are." AHEM! THERE'S SAND ON MY BOOTS. Then the obedient little imaginary soldiers wipe the sand off, and it has to suffer, knowing it once was going somewhere, and now will never leave. And then I start to think about the soldiers. "Jonathan," I say, "How do you think THEY feel?" "Alive, I suppose." "Do they? What does alive feel like?" "I don't know! Maybe we should make them wish they were dead, so they'll more appreciate being alive!”
Then I start to wonder whether or not I’m going batshit insane. And that’s what this is all about: people wiping sand off of other people’s boots. |
