If I were to put two characters from two different books on a date, I would ha e Tyler Durden from "Fight Club", and Fertility Hollis from "Survivor". They would go out at night due to the fact that Tyler Durden is only Tyler Durden at night. Upon meeting one another, Tyler would probably share his philosophies about destruction, rebirth, and perfection with Fertility. Fertility would already know about Tyler's philosophies, so upon hearing them, she would offer Tyler a chance to witness a tragedy. Tyler would accept and they would go see an event that Fertility had dreamed about weeks before. Tyler would be so happy with Fertility's gift that he would not want to leave her. But, after a few hours, Tyler would "wake up" and become his waking persona. After this, Fertility would be so excited about this unexpected change, she would never leave Tyler. After this they would live happily ever after, at least until one of them inevitably dies.

My Name

My name is Jacob Haller. My first name is spelled and pronounced as one would expect. When people first meet me, many of them pronounce my last name as if it were spelled as "Holler", with an O, which is wrong. When i think of my name, i do not believe it is very special, as it is a very common name. When i was much younger, the only association I made with my name, other than a few kids i went to school with, was the song "John Jacob Jinglehiemer Shmidt", as this was the only place i had heard my name. I do not really associate my name with much as of late, although others might. As far as nicknames go, I have two. At my father's house, and to a few people at ECHS, I go by Jake. At my house, I go by my last name, Haller, because everyone there has a different last name than me. Before I was born, my mother wanted to name me Patrick. Thankfully, my sisters talked her out of that decision. The meaning of my first name is a bit of a double-edged-sword, in that its' meaning is closely tied with the Bible, while i myself am not religious at all. Even though my name is very common, it is my name and i wear it proudly, like a badge of honor. Whether it walks behind me wherever i go or precedes me into the unknown, it has been my name since birth, and it will remain my name until i die.

If I learned everyone else on the planet was an alien, my day would probably go something like this. I would probably not be able to go to sleep because of what I just learned, so I would be up all night. At some point I would probably have some sort of an existential crisis due to the fact that, as far as I know, I am one of if not The only humane left in existence. However, after I get over the initial shock of the news I do not think my life would change very much. Even though everyone I have ever known and loved would have turned out to be an alien, they are still the people I have grown up with and the people who have cared for me all my life.

Pinata

I have been sitting in this dark room for weeks. people come and go but no one ever acknowledges me. Lately I hear them talking about something and pointing to me. Then one day they come for me. They take me outside and hang me by a tree. One by one the children come, slowly, the yard fills with them, laughing and talking. The one in the center receives gifts from the others. After a while someone leaves, then they return with a bat in their hand. He hands the bat to the first child as he slowly walks towards me. Suddenly, I realize what is about to happen but i am unable to move. All i can do is hang in anguish and wait for him to strike his first blow.
