Have you ever wonder how Fred Drew became Hydroman? One day he was swimming in the ocean when all of the sudden he started drowning. By the time they saved him, he swallowed a bunch of water. He was having a bad week as you can tell, because his house caught on fire but instead of burning to death, he accidentally threw fire out of the window and then evaporated somewhere out on the street. He then realized that the only reason why he could do any of this because of him drowning earlier in…
Things have taken a dark turn since you went away. You have opened my eyes to see what atrocities the firemen let transpire. Just recently, we let a woman burn alive in her house. (hsdjfd) She was too attached to her books to let them go, so she too went up in flames alongside her treasures. Before meeting you I never would have understood this passion to take your own life in the name of books, though you have set a fire of curiosity within me. I sometimes even find myself speaking like you,…

Response Diary 2 The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas The ones who walk away from omelas is a short story from the wind’s twelve quarters written by Ursula le Guin. It is a story about the utopian society which has a very strange and weird/disgusting condition for being able to have every happiness in the city.
