Humble Joe

 

Joe

 

Ha! It worked!

Wow! And that too! And that and...

  

Right. I should write something I suppose.

 

 

Well well well.... looks like we might just get a bit of cohesive story telling done at last, boys and girls, eh?

 

 

Right.

 

Are you all ready? Wouldn't want any of you literary geniuses to miss this...

 

 

 

 

So.

 

Chapter 1, page one - the title. Right. A title... what's a good title? Let's see now...

 

'Joe's Story'?

Nah, not descriptive enough...

 

'The Story of Joe'?

What?? Where did that come from? What - just adding the word 'of' makes it more descriptive, does it? I think all these idiots are starting to rub off on me...

 

'Joe - A Story'

Oh, bloody brilliant. Bravo. Stop looking - that's the one. 'Joe - A Story', that sounds about as exciting as a tax return. Truly inspired, that is - if that's the best you can come up with, you might as well....

 

Hang about... that's a bit harsh - it was only my third stab at it after all. Perhaps I have been a little quick to condemn myself here...

 

 

Ok... 'Davy and Joe'

 

Hey! I like that! It's got an implied relationship there to find out about, introducing another character. Better. Now we're getting somewhere!

Wait... sounds familiar though. Oh, would you Adam and Eve it!? It's only what that illiterate moron went and called his story about me, innit?

That does it, I give up! Can't someone else do this bit? I mean who wants to spend all day wracking your brain for colourful verbs and adjectives and clever wordplay and whatnot when you could be IN there playing?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, look - alright, you guys... I guess I was wrong... maybe it IS harder than I thought... you guys?

 

 

  

 

Incesticide? I think I'm ready to be in someone else's story again...

 

 

..and I reckon maybe that Eloosive guy was right in his guidance thingy - about Davy being the hero and stuff? ... I miss Davy, the big lug.

 

Anybody?

 

 

Look, just promise not to make me do all that kinky, painful or downright degrading stuff and I'll stop being so difficult, I promise! I'm a complex and rich character really! You just need time to get to know me - to explore my other sides for me...

 

 

..... you guys?
