My Dad's Will

Even though my dad will be turning 56 years old on 5th March this year, he told me his will last month while he was helping me study for my English exams on poetry and one of the poems'  verses was from The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter by Ezra Pound:
At fifteen I stopped scowling,
I desired my dust to be mingled with yours
Forever and forever  and forever
Why should I climb the lookout?

 I asked dad "Do you not mind being cremated when you pass away, dad?" in which he replied "I like to be cremated" and then he told me all about how he liked to be in Kyle forever in the woods. I have an idea that the crypt would be Eco friendly and storm proof. He also sang the chorus of The River by Bruce Springsteen when we went down to the Trioge river and I found that song for him and I told him that I will make sure that it will be last thing he will hear on his deathbed before going to the great Kyleclonobert in the sky (Heaven). I will also make sure that at his funeral, Someone Like You by Adele and Riptide by Vance Joy will play. I told mum and she got a bit upset because then she will be only one up on Strabally Road so she will also be cremated after her time and will be with dad, together forever. By the way, I would also like to be cremated after my time. It's better than burial.

Dead on Back to the Future day - Marty Ingles

Image
On Back to the Future Day, 60s legend, Marty Ingles passed away. Oh gosh, he died of a stroke and was the wife of Shirley Jones. Why did he die on Back to the Future Day? It's just like when Farrah Fawcett died on the same day as Michael Jackson or when Steve Irwin died on Edhuard Khil's birthday. If you watched the Hanna-Barbera Pac-Man series, you would know which character Marty played. Now, I never knew Marty in media before he died but I remember the intro to the series. He was survived by his widow Shirley Jones.

Sub Books

Image
So last night on April Fools Day, I went serious with this: Today, Word Autism Awareness Day I decided after each book that there will be a sub-book that would have unabridged version of an event from the book. Teenage Cyborg's sub book will be about Green Cyborg's death, funeral and legacy. It will have questions for the name of the chapters e.g: Why didn't Green Wings Man, his only nephew, didn't attend the funeral? and If  Green Cyborg was human, would've it been natural causes?  Burren Swings' sub book will be about Chief Lumberbell's brother with the same formula. Ordinary Road's sub book will be about The writer of the journals of Andy49, Jean50 and Bruno55. Emerald Eyes will be about How Green Wings Man's birth changed Kelsey's depressed life. Leap Year Double will be about  The history of the Generation Millennium gems. Mystery Hex will be about Kelsey's death and legacy. Now, on that same, I realised that I was not the on

Green Wings Man - Teenage Cyborg - Chapter One - pages 1-2

With his uncle’s health deteriorating, Edd Burren will have to become the so called nephew of Green Cyborg. He had already picked a code name, Green Wings Man. “Lewis forgot one thing for sure” Edd said, looking at the illustration of Queen Alice “He forgot to say about Alice’s new attire, I have read this a baker’s dozen times and it has just come to me now” he added, brushing a fallen cobweb from his brown tuft of hair that seemingly was inherited from his uncle. It bounced up and down as he read the first line of the 9 th chapter, Queen Alice “It doesn’t makes sense, if Tatiana wrote this, she would explain it in the most ridiculous way possible” Edd proclaimed. Tatiana was Edd’s enemy, a brown-haired girl who was born the day before him and the year after him on 24 th November 1999 while he was born on 25 th November 1998. “Uncle always wants to be in the Irish Cyborg Hall of Fame before he passes away despite Dr Reynolds telling him that he won’t pass way anytime soon“ Edd
