Shuffle Story #1

Here is what happens when I put my playlist on random and I write a story to the lyrics of what I hear.

 

            Dalziel found himself in the movie theater. He was unsure of how he got there, but it seemed to be a pretty interesting film. There was a protagonist, of course, and he was a striking man. His jaw line was well-defined, his flowing long, blond hair always blew perfectly in the wind, and his blazing blue eyes burned holes into the hearts of women everywhere. Sadly, he was enlisted into the army when he had finally found his true love.

            As he lived his army life, it was pretty uneventful at first. Then, one dark and stormy night, his platoon was playing cards when they suddenly heard explosion outside and screaming. At this point, Dalziel was getting tired for some reason, and he fell asleep. Head resting on his right hand, body slightly tilted to the left but head slanted to the right. With a well-practiced positioning from years of sleeping in high school, Dalziel quickly dozed off.

“Can’t touch this.”

MC Hammer surrounded by hippie-colored flowers hopped into Dalziel’s vision. The strange man continued to float around in his vision until suddenly…

            “STOP! Hammer time!” Hammers slowly rained down from the skies until one hit Dalziel in the face. He awoke with a start and saw that the movie was just about over. The protagonist had just come back home and was reunited with his true love. They were sitting in the shadow of the train kissing passionately. Suddenly, the credits cut and old school 8-bit Mario popped up. He was racing passionately to catch up to Bowser who had taken his precious Princess Peach. After much turtle stomping, Mario defeated the spiky-shelled maniac and broke out into song for Peach.

            “Baby it’s fact, that our love is true. It’s as simple that. My love is true it’s a matter of fact!” But before he could finish his lovely song with clashing cymbals and a crescendo, Peach walked up to him and slapped him viciously across the cheek. Finally the credits came to a close, and the theater lights came back on. Dalziel picked his way through the popcorn bits and spilt soda and made his way to the door. As he made his way out, he suddenly found himself in the middle of a mosh pit. There was a rock band playing, jumping up and down, jerking to the beat of their own music. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw this girl she had bright green eyes and long blonde hair… Then suddenly, Dalziel looked at himself, in his cell phone’s portrait mode. He was not himself. He had long, flowing blond hair that seemed to blow perfectly out behind him in the wind and his blue eyes looked very striking in contrast to his sharp jaw line…

 

Yes, extremely random. But that’s the nature of my playlist. On shuffle.

Now I leave you with a song that may or may not have played while I was writing.
