John Newman and his seeing eye dog Barder were both walking down the street when a giant Wizard materializes right before their eyes. They both fear away but soon realize that this wizard is not hostile. They walk up to him and see the kind look on his face. In an extremely powerful bellowing voice the wizard says "Hello there John, I have an offer for you that you may be interested in". John looks over to Barder and shrugs "I would like to give to you this orange turban. Within this turban lies the power of flight" the wizard says "Oh boy I've always wanted to fly" John exclaims. "I shall give you this turban but you have to give me one thing each in return" "Oh really? What might that be?" John asked. "You'll find out soon enough". John looks at Barder with a confused look and wonders what might happen. "Well alright" John says as he takes the turban. As he touches it the world starts to spin round and round until darkness consumes them both. He wakes up on the floor face down. He looks over to Barder who seems confused at where he is. He calls out for him and Barter runs directly into him as if he could not see any more. John sees him bark yet cannot hear any sound. Barder is barking profusely for John to call to him once more but John cannot hear his please. John knows now what the dreaded wizard has done to him and his beloved friend. He took his hearing and Barders vision. The turban that lay next to him did not seem to posses anything just by the look of it but he grabs it and puts it on his head. He jumps onto Barder and just as he does they take flight. Barder seems to be the one that is controlling their flight path but he cannot see. Then just as John and Barder seem to be getting the hang of it they fly right into a collosal bridge and fall to their death on the cold pavement. That was the story of the blind seeing eye dog, Barder, and his Def Master, John Newman, who has a turban that gives them the power to fly.

Hmmm... imaginative. The third person omniscient voice sometimes seemed to get in the way of the drama in the story, but it still was fun to read.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Justin. I also think that the title of the story gives away much of it, which also diminishes the dramatical power of it.
