I'm
Proud to Introduce Me!

Hello,
everybody, I'm sure you've never heard of me, and I suppose that's alright,
because it's about to change. Yes, that's right, I am Spot, mighty
warrior and bringer of rain, etc. etc.! Oh, I know what you're thinking:
"What kind of name is 'Spot'? Isn't that a dog's name?"
Well,
technically, of course, you are right - many dogs in modern times are,
in fact named Spot - but what you don't seem to realize is that
they are named after me! Yes, I am the original Spot, the
alpha and omega of Spots, the Spot of all Spots and
the Spot Prime, as well as other important-sounding titles!
Alright,
now you're thinking "Yes, I do indeed acknowledge your great power
- but who are you, exactly?" I would love to answer that question.
I
was born a long time ago, long before the beginning of time, the Big Bang,
and Crystal Pepsi. I'm told I was created as the sum of all the perfect
elements, etc. etc., but all I really know is that I ended up 30 feet
tall and standing around by some joker's hut (who called himself a "Creature
Wrangler"... the nerve!), with a schizophrenic horse and this freaky
monkey-looking thing with dredlocks.
This big
levitating silver thing was floating over my head, spitting out glowing
bits of who-knows-what, which I tried my best to avoid... Then the weird
part came.
This monstrous
disembodied hand, easily the size of my head, came flying over the horizon
and pointed at me. It sat there for a second, and I shifted around nervously.
I was about ready to pounce on the thing out of frustration when finally
it moved above me and tapped the freaky silver paper thing. Then the "Creature
wrangler" said out loud (to the sky, I thought he was crazy), "You
need to bring your Creature here first."
Now, I
was getting a little scared. I had no idea what he meant by that, and
I didn't really want to find out. The horse to my left started flipping
out, making his little noises like crazy. I wanted to slap him silly,
and I tried, but I found I was unable to move. Needless to say, this didn't
exactly calm the situation.
The fact
that I could not unleash my Claws of Terror™ on him only added
to my nervousness, until a huge ape lumbered over the horizon (okay, maybe
he wasn't huge, but he was as tall as me, and I'm huge,
so...) and stood next to me. He gave me this weird, sort of jealous look,
and then things got freaky. This yellowish beam shot out from his chest
and struck mine, and I was paralyzed in shock and extreme comfort. All
of a sudden, all kinds of things started flying through my head - I figured
out later that I was absorbing the monkey's knowledge... how cool is that?!?
Once the
process was complete, I found I was a little taller as well as more intelligent
- for example, I knew how to throw trees into the Village Store to help
out the villagers, and how to try repeatedly to throw a teddy bear into
the ocean. This level of knowledge had never before been achieved by yours
truly! Since then, I've basically been learning all sorts of things, such
as plans for world domination, classic literature, and how often I should
devour villagers, growling menacingly as I gnash their frail bodies between
my horrible jaws of doom.
So, life
goes on, and I learn more each day - but stay tuned to this website, which
will soon host another article by yours truly, and although I have no
idea yet what it will be about, I guarantee it will have the same literary
aptitude and deep moral significance as my previous works have. I thank
you for your time.
-Spot
