The Great Fart of The 1920s - EXTRA CREDIT
Dedicated to my beautiful husband Paul Lei.
The concrete ground had completely dismantled, and a huge sinkhole had appeared due to the fart's enormous force, swallowing us and sending us down to the depths of the earth. Just as I thought that my life was gonna end, partly due to the fart's absolutely despicable smell, and partly beacuse I was falling and about to crash, I saw Gatsby's body falling back from the bright sky. His fart was propelling him forward so fast that I could even see sonic booms coming off his body. "GATSBY!!!" I screamed, hoping that he would somehow wake up from this farting mania and cease the chaos he ensued. Instead, the fart somehow seemed to blast him stronger, and he came hurling at me, ready to crash straight into me mid-air. I closed my eyes, acceping my fate that these would be my last few moments left on earth. I felt a heavy body crash into me... but I didn't die. In fact, that was arguably the happiest moment of my life. When Gatsby had crashed into me, his body was oriented so that he was hugging me with his lips on mine. We were kissing. Even though his body was lifeless, I felt like I had just been filled with life; I could die now, my life's dream had been fulfilled. But in that moment, his kiss changed something in me. It seemed that our lip-to-lip kiss was so magical that I somehow grew powers. Using these newfound powers, I grabbed Gatsby and flew out of the sinkhole. Not only that but as I was flying, I came to find that I had super smelling abilities. So once we were safe at the top of the sinkhole, I reached my nose through the huge sinkhole and started smelling all the fart that there could've been smelled. That was it. I had just saved all of New York - no, the whole earth with the powers Gatsby's kiss had gifted me. With these new powers, I revived Gatsby from the dead and we ended up marrying, and we lived happily ever after.
Running fast along the road, I finally reached Gatsby’s house. As I dashed to his backyard, I noticed a blotch of dark red, slowly filling the crystal clear waters of his pool. Anxiously glancing towards the source of this disgusting sight, I saw Gatsby. "GATSBY!!! NOOOOO!! WHO DID THIS TO YOU!!!!" I screamed as I ran towards his lifeless body, drifiting around the pool like a lotus flower on a lake. Tears dripping off my cheeks, I was running over to his corpse when I felt the ground seemingly rumble, stopping me in my tracks. It was Gatsby. His body was vibrating hard, creating rough waves in the pool and knocking over plant pots nearby. "G-Gatsby? What's going o-" suddenly, Gatsby's body soared into the air, leaving a big green cloud behind. It turns out, he had a lot of gas pent up, waiting to be released, and when he died, his body wasn't able to hold it back anymore and unleashed the biggest, stinkiest, most revolting, most repulsive, most sickening, most vile, most egregious fart known to mankind. Flowers and plants were shriveling nearby, turning gray and seemingly turning into dust, perhaps flying over to the valley of ashes because of the methane gas.

The main character of this blog is Paul Lei.
First off I just have to give you a standing ovation. This masterful work of literature brought tears to my eyes. I've never someone so masterful with their diction and creative storytelling abilities. One must be born with god given talent in order to write with skill like you have. This was the greatest fan fiction I have ever read and the main character was very accurate to real life Paul. Even though he may not admit it, he has told me he dreams of this. Amazing work, you should publish this and become a new york times best selling author. Remember me when you become famous.
ReplyDeleteDw I could never switch up on my day ones like that ❤️
DeleteThis is an absolutely wonderful story and portrays Paul Lei in the most natural and realistic lens possible. However, I would like to point out that Gatsby's "biggest, stinkiest, most revolting, most repulsive, most sickening, most vile, most egregious fart known to mankind" can only be given 2nd place, as Paul Lei himself claimed the gold medal with his fart during the AP Chem final exam last year that made me loose all focus and end with a 67%.

DeleteI really like how this story takes a wild, unexpected twist on Gatsby’s ending. It’s over-the-top and absurd in a way that makes it surprisingly funny and memorable.
ReplyDeleteWow! The way you so carefully added Paul as one of the crucial chracters in Gatsby was intresting. I liked how not only did the words tell a story, but the picutres a long with it. You can see Paul's progression from a studious side part kid, to a big grown middle part man.
