The ObSeRvEr(an idea)

Posted to Stories




The specific job of an observer is, and I quote, "...to merely watch, never to interact, and never, I mean never, to urinate or deficate on public buildings...". With that said, it should also be said that observers are notirous fiends for urnating and deficating on public bulidings.

The day, on average, for observers is more routine than the average is to, or would, expect. An observer wakes and watches, hence the fondness for public buildings. One whi is an observer stands; therefore, as a child, it helps to stand in a corner for much of the time. An observer must also never return to any particular time or place heshe has already been, which is, actually, a good place to begin the story*

*on a more personal note, one must know that to read about an oberserver is to suspend all sense and reason, and to pay very close attention. Thank you.*


THE STORY

If you have any questions, please keep them until the End and then reread your notes," a voiceless voice speaks over the intercom. "We will begin, as we almost always do, with how it all began and how it all will happen, followed then by Where It All Went.

On the day it all began, the world should have ended. underneath the earth there should have been a bomb with enough explosives to split hte mantle and create worldwide choas. However, ten miles up a river, the Man Who Breathes Smoke was delayed when he realized he had no boat. In a puff of insence and smoke he vanished and the world lived on.

With that having also been stated, the beginning will continue along another vein.

When it all began, way back then, countless years ago, a petry dish, containing unknown chemicals, was tipped off a counter in a mid-west high school chemistry class by a student named Jones Jones, Jr.
