Short stories that LOOP!

Posted by WritersBlock - June 11th, 2008


Musicians can write songs that can loop, so why can't authors write stories that loop.

The Time Machine:
"Oh my God, it works!"
The machine was humming, it was just about ready. I adjusted a few things, tightened a few screws, made sure everything was fastened in place. There were oiled rags, and rubbish lying everywhere, it was a right mess. So I gathered up all the rubbish and packed it into an old empty cardboard box. I used packing tape to close it up. It was bulging considerably, so I went outside to put the rubbish in the bin.

But then I saw our neighbour's cat, Mr. Tibbles hiding up a tree in my front yard. So I used my superhuman brawndo muscles to shake the tree, and the cat fell down. I took the cat into the basement and placed it in the time machine. I sent it to 2 million years in the future. Yeah, take that, Finklestein! Then, my wife came down into the basement and handed me a letter. It read "Dear wife of God. I am assuming you are the wife of God, because if you are reading this, it means I have invented a working time machine, and sent the letter though time, and therefore I am God."

"Who wrote this?" my wife asked me.
"I don't know" I replied. "Now please leave, I have just killed Mr. Tibbles, and I am thinking about using the time machine on myself".
"Ok" she said, and without further ado, went outside to wave at a passing bus.
I put the letter into the time machine and set it for 1 minute into the past. If it did work, then my wife would recieve the letter, already written, and she would hand it to me to send to the past. How did that letter exist?

I decided not to answer that question as I deemed it rhetorical, so I sneezed three times and did the chicken dance, such was my obsessive compulsive disorder that plays a major part in this story (yes, I broke the fourth wall, get over it. It's not hard. The wall is considerably smaller now that I knocked it down. It's not too hard to get over it. You're welcome.) So I then went into the time machine and set it for five minutes in the past.

Return to the begining of the story and read again.
It LOOPS!

My head hurts.

LOL

wait, if something was stuck in a time loop, wouldn't it eventually decay? all object decay over time right? then what would happen to the loop? GAAAHHHH!!! (brain explodes)

it would be cool if you, like, mixed an organ and an electric guitar, you know, like what they did here: <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4532963032827114900&q=sarah+brightman+PBS+phantom+of+the+opera&ei=NINRSIXfHIaCqwKO5uDDDA">http://video.google.com/videoplay?doc id=4532963032827114900&q=sarah+br ightman+PBS+phantom+of+the+opera&
ei=NINRSIXfHIaCqwKO5uDDDA</a>

I've been trying to work an electric guitar into my latest song, but I haven't found the right place yet. I don't know about how well I could blend the guitar with an organ, but I could always try it with some classical instruments. Also, I think what makes that song stand out is not the mix of the guitars and organ, I think it's more to do with the guitars and vocals. See Lady Arsenic's song "Coming Home" to see what I mean. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/l isten/148563
Classically trained vocals mixing with rock/metal music is bound to be good.

And the time machine means that his body will go back 5 minutes and never decay, otherwise there would have been two of him, and he'd still be in his time machine, and he could still have a future, if you know what I mean.

the mind is starting to unravel so quickyl!

Cut a hole in your head and open up your mind using your bare hands.

because that is what Brawndo makes you feel which is like having sex semi trailer in a parking lot! GRRRRRRR!

but you don't have to do that, because drinking barwndo lets you know what that feels like.

no, I mean, what with the letter being handled every time it goes through the loop, won't it eventually be handled so many times that it will just fall apart? what would happen to the loop?

you know when I said you should take the chaos sonic theme, speed it up, lower it one octave and add in a guitar? do you know what I was getting at?
THRASH METAL!!!!!!!!!!

The paper also goes back 1 minute in condition as it goes through time.

Your doing weebl stlye so its kinda unoriginal but its cool. Good Luck. The song is long the idea is good. I'm rooting for you.

Thanks for the support!

brawndo makes you split your pants!
brawndo will make you need new pants!
you will need to buy new shoes aswell cause you will be kicking everyones ass all the time!
be cause brawndo will make you kick everyone ass all the time!

When you open a can of brawndo, it's really loud, and by loud I mean tasty.

Ahoy, just stopping by and saying hi. Long time no see :D Seems like you still submit stuff eh? Gonna check it sometime. Still part of the RRC yourself?

Hey, yeah, I've been drifting in and out of there, haven't done much reviewing as of late, but I'm still submitting when I can. Trying to up the quality of my submissions too, so I'm taking more time between submissions.

Maybe I'll check some of your latest submissions out soon, too.

it is just as dangerous as riding a pony which doesn't sound danger but the pony was 500 feet tall and covered in chainsaws
and you would have to get by catching an elevator with 15 live cougars which is porbaly a sport in latin america

PONY!
