(be forewarned: as I said before, I am low on resources and tired- when that happens, sometimes I come up with non-sensical ideas and such. Now, carry on. ^_^)
*story mode*
...about a "boy" I met one day.
He reminded me of the tales of the Laputians.
He had dark blue hair, with pale sky colored eyes.
He was odd.
"You there!"
"...are you talking to me? ...sir?"
"Yes?!"
"okay..."
"-get to work!"
o.o?? "work? You have noticed that I am already at labor, haven't you, sir?"
"You are? I wouldn't know- I never do such things."
That was how we met.
It was strange conversing in such a way.
Apparently, this person was foreign.
Very much so.
And quite odd.
So odd, that for awhile we couldn't really
communicate with each other
even though we were able
to comprehend each other's speech...
I found out (in time) that the person (after I spoke to him, I wasn't sure whether he was a boy or a man- I still do not know really)
was from an odd and lonely isle
that is of itself, and floats in the air
carrying a fantastic populace
who do not work as we on Earth do
but live in a most abnormal manner...
"uh..."
"Yes?" I politely replied.
"So, that's what you meant by "work"?"
"Yes."
"..."
"What is it?"
"Well...it's just that...my people never do such things."
o.o! "What?"
"Like you said, "work". We have other people do that stuff."
And so, I became enlightened
with regards to the people Swift
wrote about- though these were not
truly Laputeans.
These beings were quite similar though.
...
*end story mode*
-and that was the beginning of an odd idea I had earlier today.
****
EDIT: I have considered making this into some type of short story project-possibly like a doujinshi, or something similar. Give me some feedback, okay?
