i was in boone not that long ago and some guy on the side of the road approached me and asked me if i wanted to buy a short story

i could not get out of my mind the likelihood of this turn of events.

there seriously had to be a less than 1 millionth of a percent of ever being in a situation like this. so i happily agreed to indulge the man, and get a piece of his creativity.

he gave me two choices: the typewriter story, or the "outer space adventure".

of course i picked the outer space adventure, titled "cadmium red"

it had to be one of the craziest and illogical things i have ever read in my life, about how the mayans were going to destroy the world in 2012 and the only way we could prevent it was to fly to neptune and collide it with uranus to do.............something.

there really isn't a point to this story

if anything it is a huge waste of time, and theres no real moral or lesson to it, although i believe my life is more well rounded because of this event.

And that short story salesman was Eric Bana.

And now you know the rest of the story.

It was 5 dollars. I still have it around somewhere. The author drew all these neat little illustrations about spaceships flying around Saturn and shit. I think he just needed the drug money. That dude looked fucked up beyond repair.

well.. i gotta give him props for at least inventing something mildly amusing rather than just begging for money straight up.

i definately would have bought one too just for the lulz.

I'd say it was an original. All it was was a bunch of pieces of construction paper stapled together with the story and illustrations within. All the pages were a different color. It was ghetto, surreal, and marvelous simultaneously.
