My ...Well, you see, I have this Broadway fantasy...<br />My weird flashes of imagination usually involve me belting out a song Elphaba-style in the middle of the grocery store or a parent/teacher conference.<br />But I'm often hijacked by scenes in my novel that invade my every day life. I remember pulling into a parking space one day and all of a sudden I was seeing my hero and heroine's first kiss.

What a great talent you have girl. Okay,...Love it!! What a great talent you have girl. Okay, you said weirdest flash of imagination. Yours is very innocent compared to mine; here goes. It was in my high school English class for Science Fiction. It was supposed to be a tall tale. Perhaps it was the license I had to write something weird and naughty. The genre was science fiction, and in my mind I thought it humorous to write "The Teeth of the Saw".<br /><br />Casper Blip was a magician and his wife was his assistant. She tells of one of her trips to the hospital because of an "accident" during the knife-throwing trick:<br /><br />"Casper decided to use me as a target for knife throwing. He placed me on a huge wooden wheel and spun it around. Then he started throwing the knives. He didn't get very far, because the second knife struck home. It practically scalped me...I was in the hospital for two weeks that time."<br /><br />She is leading up to "...now Casper was going to perform the illusion of sawing me in half. Why I ever went through with all those capers, I'll never know. I guess it was because he said if I ever left, he would hunt me down and try the guillotine trick on me."<br /><br />I will not go through her description of what happened to her in "the teeth of the saw". For some reason, it does not strike me as funny now. :-)<br /><br />But, maybe the end is still somewhat humorous"<br /><br />"And now the end. I could faintly hear Casper laughing. Why was he laughing so hilariously? Had he planned it all along? My last mortal thoughts were, "Casper, you could at least have sharpened "The Teeth of the Saw".<br /><br />When I remember this, I am more understanding of the sometimes weird sense of humor and imagination that some of our teenagers have.<br /><br />The teacher gave me a grade of A- for content and A for mechanics, but she added a note: "More horror story than tall tale."Annabananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536836800195081545noreply@blogger.com
