Tone Writing Piece – Mr. Johnny

Greetings Mr. Johnny,

 

I am afraid I have some very dreadful and depressing news. Your whole family, including your dog and fish, are being kept hostage by a Siberian terrorist organization and are probably going to die. We are focusing all of our efforts on savings missions but most have failed (usually to assassinations). The chances of any savior missions succeeding are close to null. These people are ruthless and don’t stop for anyone. What they ask for ransom are the nuclear missiles that the military have. Even though you are one of our most important generals, we can’t risk the safety of America to your family. Any missions will now be terminated.

Hello again Mr. Johnny,

 

I am sorry to report that your fish and dog have been brutally murdered by being decapitated and more will die if the ransom is not given. But, there just pets so they don’t matter. Again, I am sorry that we can’t help. It seems as if your world may be filled with dark clouds now and I offer my condolences.

Hello Mr. Johnny,

pheewww. Okay, yep. Everyone is dead. The ways in which they were murdered may not be pleasant to hear. I would definitely understand if you want to leave your job and spiral into a deep depression. The job is yours if you ever decide to climb out of the dark hole of hurt and horror.

Soccer in the Future

The day is September 15, 2215. I just arrived at the soccer stadium and am very excited. First thing I see is the giant metal dome that reflects all the snow white, puffy clouds and the orange and red rust color from the pollution state in our atmosphere. As I enter, I can instantly smell the terrible stench of the corrosion on the paint of the 200 year old stadium. This is the only part that is left. As I find my seat in the upper-middle of the 30,000 seated stadium, I am already squinting from the bright yellow, artificial, sun they put at the top of the dome.

The game has begun and I hear the roaring chant of the fans as if they were ocean waves crashing on a beach. Then the robot player sprint onto the field. Of course they are robots, since we have lost our ability to play ourselves because of our obesity. This came from the metal age about 100 years ago when all we did was stare at our screens and lose our motivation. The ball moves swiftly across the field and rustles through the bright orange grass as the robots do their interesting tricks. The color is orange because real grass died away ages ago so we started using fake grass and different fields now have different colors. The game goes on for a couple hours and then stops with the score tied 102 -102. This is usually a pretty low score since its almost always double the score of a basketball game. Robots will be robots.

Diction Piece

Just like that, the city was engulfed in water. It came out of nowhere. The only warning was the towering shadow coming from the tsunami. It was as if the whole city was frozen. Many cars and people were left stranded, and flailing in the water. We tried to desert the city as quickly and swiftly as possible. But there was no use. It was the end of the road.

It was pure chaos. People were thrusting themselves as hard as they could into the tall buildings but they doors were sealed in order to not get water intruding into the building. All there was to do was wait. Eventually the water will ooze its way out. Right?
