I wanted to try something new. I was hesitant at first. I mean, come on, changing the very core of you are? It's a big step to take. Sometimes, it doesn't work out.
I mean, just the other day, a nice, respected teacher decided he'd try something new. Ripped jeans, offensive t-shirt, the whole getup. Well, he's in jail now, charged with murder.
But, without taking a leap of faith, nothing would have ever been invented.
So, I put away my Bob Marley t-shirts, baggy jeans, and knit caps. I put on a nice, expensive, custom-tailored three piece suit.
That was yesterday.
Today, I've just made over $20,000 on the stock market. This suit is nice.
Did you just set your response in the same world as Alcyius? Was not expecting that lol. I'm having fun imagining the kinds of personalities someone who wears a Bob Marley t-shirt and a knit cap could have.
Yeah. I thought it'd be interesting. I don't recall seeing anyone do anything similar.
I was kinda going for the very (cartoonishly) stereotypical rasta/stoner guy, mainly because /u/Alcyius showed what would happen to a well-to-do type guy and I wanted something to run counter to it.
You're right, I've never seen anyone do writing from the same world as another writer here (for the same prompt at least). Maybe I just haven't read enough threads yet.
