Barder and the Flying Turban















Truffle and his pal Barder, have been together since his birth four years ago. Although Barder is twice his size and age, he is his best friend and isn’t intimidated at all. The day Truffle was born his mother and father loved him very much and by showing this his mother made him the finest clothing in all of Mordor. One special day his mother heard of a special fabrics store in Southern Mordor where she journeyed to for several months. On her arrival she returned with sacred fabrics in all of the Elfs and knitted a very special Bright Orange Turban for her newborn son. Truffle unaware at the time, always wore the hat. As he grew older he played with his best friend Barder traveling to the land of the Orcs with his father and adventuring through the Grimy Swamp of Trolls. Over time Truffle became aware and began to notice that not only was his hat beautiful but it held magic powers from the Barthelemews Cavern of wizards where no elf has ever returned. There have only been legends and myths passed down from generations hundreds of years ago of fights and battles that took place and since then there has been no talk of what they are planning on doing or if the dispute is over. Truffle interested from bed time stories of this legend talked with the magical elf in the town Gerrndalf, and gave Truffle a bluish bottle and told him it holds secrets from the past and there’s no going back if he drinks it. Although Truffle is brave he takes the bottle with his hand and places it in his pocket. With his other hand holding the turban it begins to glow.

Creative Writing 1: Writing In Reverse












Ruppert has been walking up and down 5th Ave. for the last few hours scoping out the vicinity. He has been in an economic crisis the last few weeks and hasn’t been able to pay rent for his apartment in Manhattan, let alone a subway pass for transportation. Ruppert was skeptically walking looking at business executives pass by searching for an opportunity to possibly mug someone. As Ruppert turns the corner he realizes to get back on track with his bills and not get evicted from his new apartment he had to step it up a notch. His eyes light up as he watches a blinged out white lifted Escalade with 32 inch rims pass by. He quickly keeps up with traffic and waits for the SUV to slowly pull off the street. Ruppert watches a policeman walk across the street and turns the other direction. He realizes that the police is approaching a homeless man urinating on the wall and is full of relief. He waits for the man in a poofy jacket to exit his car leaving the keys in the ignition. Ruppert darts across slamming the door shut and stepping on the gas. He takes the SUV to his apartment and thinks he will eventually be caught that he can’t hide his crime forever. He pulls over to the curb runs inside and comes back outside with a box of tools. He screws off the first rim and watches people pass skeptically watching him. Working on the second rim he looked up to see a man rushing him drop kicking him to the ground. Ruppert struggles to push him off grabbing the two rims sprinting down the street. He turns down into a subway and rips off his coat hoping to change his appearance. He heard the man yelling from a distance and just kept running. As Ruppert passed through a security monitor depositing two dollars he looked up becoming conscious of 10 policemen surrounding him with guns drawn. He dropped the blinged out rims and put his hands over his head. As he was being arrested he was confronted by Jay-Z the owner of the Escalade.
