William Irving lived in the suburbs of Belmont, Massechussetes. Apparntly born without the ability to laugh, cry, or show emotion in any other way, the only time William had ever left his town was when a friend convinced him to watch a parade downtown 3 years ago. He had not enjoyed that experience very much. This story is about that day. (by KHS)
After one of his friends' suggestion, William decided to travel all over the world to find emotion and to learn how to show emotion. He first went to Japan. He saw some monkey shows but they were not fun at all. He then went to North Korea. He met a fat but small monster there. The monster was weraring sunglasses. (by LKB)
The monster, named Kim Jung Il, started to make the cheapest jokes that William had ever heard in his life. But somehow, the other people around the monster seemed to be enjoying its strange sense of humor. Bravely, William said to the monster. "Excuse me, but your jokes are not funny." The next moment he woke up, and he found himslef in a dark, confined cell. (by KSM)
It was his home. It was just all a wild dream! He just dosed off while going to watch the parade. (by KSJ)
The parade in front of him was just spectacular! Giant dinosaurs waling by, the dinosours playing with an even more giant set of Jenga, and, also, nuclear missiles flying everywhere. It was just awesome, but William couldn't laugh or make an expression about it. So he made a very, very bold move to overcome his inability, a move which he would regret for the rest of his life! (by BSW)
William, prior to that moment, had convinced himself that his situation was due to some trait in his genes; he thought that he needed a drastic genetic alteration in order to gain access to the human emotions that everyone else could summon so easily. Now, watching himself fail yet again to crack a simple smile, William decided to expose himself completely to the nulcear missiles flying overhead. Surely those missiles would contain enough energy and nulcear influence to affect his genes. He rapidly climbed up one of the oversized Jenga sets that the dinosaurs were enjoying and jumped straight into the path of one near-flying missile.
In a miraculous coincidence of the quantum orbitals of the atoms that constituted William and the missile, the impact did not cause William to explode into an infinite number of micro-particles. Instead, it gave William the uncanny ability of being able to control each and every one of those particles individually while maintaing a unified consciousness. That meant he could freely alter the shape or position of his body parts with a simple thought or even detatch parts and have them move on their own.
What the nuclear impact did not do was grant William human expressions.
Feeling the closest he could manage to the emotion of disappointment, William was to preoccupied to notice his new ability. He walked back to his town and never left it again. (finished by KHS)
This started off very well, and then became ridiculous. But I think this can work in terms of metaficition if you use a 7 year old boy with a wild imagination telling a bizarre story to someone - probably an adult who could learn something from it. Where does this take place? What's the scenario? Have fun with that. It could be a father driving his son to school. It could be a pyschologist listening to a patient. Lot's to play with. That's just one idea.
