Blog #3 Dear Michelangelo

Dear Michelangelo, I am starving and cold. I am tired of watching my friends die in the most painful of ways. Our most recent fight occurred as follows –

“GET DOWN!” Explosions rippled across the dark forest floor as Alyssa urged her fellow classmates to take cover. We were surrounded. None of our recent training and victories over various mic types and editing programs could prepare us for for these camera beasts. The voice of our commander echoed through our headsets “New beasts from the left! Cue weather girl now!” Following his commanders advice, Noah (Our current Floor Director) frantically removed a small package from his backpack. Tossing it into the air, it suddenly transformed before our eyes in a smoky explosion of magic. Lacy emerged from the smoke wielding a large green axe. One by one, she smashed and slaughtered the monsters of the forest. These beasts included “White-balancer’s”, “Lavalier-Mic’s” and “Zoom&Focus.” Just as we began to regain hope, a large screech bellied throughout the forest in vibration. The tree’s were tossed aside with ease to clear it’s path. The “Switcher Monster” appeared before us. Holly opened fire and took cover. Parker limped his way to the side tossing grenades. Connor followed his lead doing the same. Morgan and Eva ran straight for its feet with a large thick rope. Together, they ran as fast as they could encircling the beast and tangling it’s underside. I watched in agony, my leg was losing blood, and fast. I shouted “LAAAB TEEECH MEDIC!” as my vision began to blur in and out of darkness. Suddenly, I blacked-out due to blood loss.

Michelangelo, the next thing I knew I awoke in a low, cold, and wet valley. My team had overcome the beasts days before and nursed me back to health. Today, we are still awaiting our fight with the dreaded “10 Minute Show” beast and it’s sidekick, “The 30 Second Commercial.” My GPA pounds fast in my chest and I do not plan for its precious red life to ever stop beating and fade from me. None of us do. I hope to live long enough to write to you once again my old friend,

Sincerely, your dear friend, Caleb.
