Legacy

What do you want people to remember you for in the future?

I want to be remembered as a kind person, who had a strong sense of right and wrong. I hope that my grandkids and great grandkids will know me as someone who always likes to have fun, but is also ready to take a serious note when the situation dictates. I want the ideals and beliefs that I have now to be passed down to the next generation, and the generations after, creating a strong legacy. Personally, I believe that one should be both lighthearted and serious, whatever you feel is right.

Ingredients for Well-done Vincent

- 2 tablespoons of creativity
- A sprinkle of humor
- Pinch of seriousness
- Healthy dollop of confidence
- 2 Cups of sociality
- 1 oz of independence
- 1/2 Kg of friendliness
- A decent amount of awesomeness (depends on personal preference)

First take Friendliness, confidence, and sociality and mix together throughly. Then take friendliness, and gradually add it to the mix, stirring the whole time. Knead the mixture until it begins to thicken, leaving you with a veritable dough. Flatten with rolling pin, then take creativity and smear it over the sheet of dough. Add humor and seriousness, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly spread around the dough. Cut the sheet into around ten pieces, then roll the individual pieces into cylinders. Garnish with a light coat of awesomeness. Heat the oven to around 150º Celsius, and let the cylinders bake for around an hour.

Serve with salad and fries, creates perfect meal for a light casual atmosphere. Personally I like to serve this when I am among friends, but really, any informal situation is perfectly suited to Well-done Vincent

"The Waxwork": The power of imagination

In "The Waxwork" by A.M. Burrage, the Protagonist, Raymond Hewson, is on a quest to become a well known freelance journalist, and make enough money to take care of his family. He has an idea that he will spend a night in the infamous Murderers Den, a small room in which waxworks of the most twisten criminals reside. As he settles down for the night, he is confronted with one of the most brutal criminals, whose effigy resides in the room. He is killed by the criminal, after which we find out that he has been dreaming all along, and that the night has passed.

The curator of the museum gives him a brief description of each criminal that is depicted, going more in depth with a man called Dr. Bourdette, who was apparently never caught. As he settles down for the night, he is wary of all the statues, but the depiction of Dr. Bourdette gives him an exceptional amount of discomfort. After an hour or so, he hears movement behind him, and sees the statue of Bourdette moving, for he is not a statue at all. I would say that this is the most difficult situation Hewson faces, because of the sheer terror he must be feeling. I would undoubtedly be in a similar state of shock, but i do not think, or hope, that I would simply let the person kill me if I was in this situation. I believe that all people have a basic instinct for survival, and that no matter how traumatized one might be, you will always choose to fight for your life, instead of simply giving up.
