Today I, the crusader, would like to try something a bit different. I would like to expand your imaginations, test the limits of description by setting up otherworldly scenarios using the English vocabulary to stimulate the senses so lets start off with a few scenarios.

 

Scenario 1:

 There’s a man in a gym. He was pumping that iron like mad. Non stop curling, not even resting. Lifting the dumbbell, his muscle fibers contracting, veins bulging like mad, heart pulsating to desperately, rushing the blood to deliver the oxygen. Biceps peaking every time he motions the weight to the top, almost like a soda can about to burst. His face reddens through the distress and lowers the weight back down until his arm is hanging. 

He brings it up. He cautiously relaxes when lowering it. His body begs him to stop through shocks and twinges of pain every time, yet he continues, exhausting his breath every time. He frowns in an enraged yet sharp focus, but little does he know he is finally on his last curl. As he reaches the top the twinges of pain transform into undying inferno as his strained muscle fibers give up. 

Snap snap snap.

The pain blazes through his arm, his hand drops dead as his once mighty grip softens. The dumbbell is surrendered to gravity and slams to the ground. His face still crimson, he opens his mouth to release a bellow that would sway a prairie. The only thing left for him to accomplish is a mundane recovery as he waits to receive help.

 

Scenario 2:

There’s a human floating in nothingness. The human continues to drift away oblivious to its own existence. Simply mindless.

…

…

…

Klak klak klak klak klak!

Suddenly, the skin on the human loses its color and is cracked. Slowly, starting from the digits, the skin flakes off as to only unveil a black skeleton entangled with veins that hid underneath the shell. The veins lead to a still beating heart. The heart pulses rhythmically as the veins that protrude from the heart expand the deflate. 

Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

Moving further down the skeleton are bare lungs. The lungs arise as if marching to battle yet set as in retreat.

Woosh!

The skull is somehow emitting a breeze of air in this environment of nothingness. Though the skull is plain upon first glance, upon closer inspection, something is mysterious about the empty sockets. A pair of small white singularities pop into existence of the eye sockets. The white singularities start to expand into a formless goop that starts to fill the void until they become white spherical balls. The balls grow a circle full of color and a circle of black right in the center. The pupils point down to it’s skeleton toes. Bark starts to form around the black digits that soon envelopes the whole mass. Now a humanoid bark creature, it grows leaves above the torso to become a tree in the nothingness…

 

Though these scenarios may not have purpose or retrospection, I hope, in the very least, they were entertaining. These abstract scenarios will get a strange reaction regardless of whether they were good or bad. That’s enough rambling from me today. No need to pay attention to this ancient crusader. Now go spend your youth somewhere else before your bones get old too! Hasta la vista!
