In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.

My First Writing Project!

5/20/2019

28 Comments

 
Last week, my mother was cleaning out the house where I grew up, and she found this:
Picture

...in the fourth grade, we had to make a fake magazine for a school project. I created this masterpiece, a laminated edition of Time from the distant future year of 2019.

The cover story is my creation of a genetically engineered hybrid between dog and rabbit, which is clearly a huge breakthrough in genetic science. In this article, I make sure to reassure the reader that this mutant creature is very safe and will not break out and harm anyone. As would be any person’s reasonable fear.

I stand by this prediction of the future, which means I must learn a lot about genetic engineering in the next couple of months.

What're the odds you post the text of this project as another blog post?

You have something similar but instead I write about a machine that can help you grow wings.
I also stand by my prediction.
I have 5 years and 2 months to complete it.

This is great! I teach 5th grade and am very interested in reading the whole "magazine"! I might have to do something like this very soon!

I don't know mutants have a habit of breaking out of containment and wreaking havoc on the world.

A Doggit? Rabbog? I feel Doggit would fit a cross with smaller breed dogs where as Rabbog would be for say a cross with a Great Dane or Irish Wolfhound.

A Rabbidog! (Not to be confused with a Rabid Dog)

I like Dhare. Really rolls off the tongue and probably rhymes with the origin of this abomination.

"A monarch releases a poison. This poison gets in contact with a herald level dograbit, drastically changing its properties but not destroying the poison. Then plague happens" YBD your comment made me think this

I've never genetically engineered an animal before. How about a plant with some tiny dog & rabbit markers?

I see... Will foresaw the true cause of Tim's death in this Time magazine! It was a killer rabbit!

Nice work, 4th grade Will!

I thought that they discovered that William Wight was a mutant.

Little did they know that the aberration that appeared was really his gold sign.
