Haven't posted in a while...

I've had terrible writers block towards anything really creative lately, but here's some things I did for school that amused me.

The first thing is this obituary we had to write for ourselves the week in my Media Writing class:


Is there anyone more famous in this day and age than Nathan Mitchell? A man who took the steps and went the distance to single handedly take over every country and city on the face of the planet. Though many have called him evil, it’s hard to deny that Mitchell has touched each and every one of our lives.
                Not much is known of his early childhood, or even his young adulthood. Mostly because all records of information on the past was destroyed in The Information Revolution of 2052. But, when he first stood up in that nigh-indestructible robotic body and commanded his robot army to kill all humans and enslave the rest, it can’t be denied how much of an impact he had on human-kind after this event.
                But today, sadness rings out across the world. Nathan “Dr. Death” Mitchell has died on August 27, 2200, at the age of 215. After being the self-proclaimed Horrible Dictator of the World for more than 100 years, his other accomplishments include inventing the technology to create a terrible robot army programmed on world domination, enslaving the entire human race and, of course, illegalizing free thought.
                Nathan died by the hands of his wife and co-ruler of the world: Helga “the Terrible” Mitchell, after the couple were arguing over what the fate of the human race ought to be, Nathan wanting everyone to continue being slaves that worked 23 hours a day with no breaks, and Helga wanting to kill everyone and replace them with robots. Though cause of death, at this point, remains unclear, it is highly suspected that the use of nuclear weapons was used in order to pierce Dr. Death’s nigh-impenetrable, robotic hull.
                “I didn’t really mean to kill him,” said Helga, “it was just a lover’s quarrel that got out of hand.”
                Helga would be prosecuted for first degree murder had Nathan not illegalized laws in 2156.
                Nathan is survived by his wife, Helga, and their robot children, Bob, Tom, Richard, Susan and The Destructionator. His brain shall be put on display in the Mitchell Museum of Mayhem for the week before our robot replacements come and kill us all.
