Barder and the Flying Turban (Creative Writing #2)

On February 1, 2010 we had to write a creative story using this photo:

The only information given to us that we had to incorporate into the story was that the dog's name is Barder and the orange turban gives him the power to fly. Here is the story that I came up with...

Sha'dir was your average American child celebrity. He appeared numerous time on the hit children's program, "My Kid Is Way Smarter Than That Thing You Call Your Offspring". Sha'dir was, in fact, the most beloved character on the program. Stores nationwide were selling Sha'dir mugs, shirts, and undergarments. Sha'dir was living the dream, that was of course, until the incident. Sha'dir would probably be today's hottest celebrity instead of having a feature on E! Hollywood's, "Why Was This Person Ever Famous In The First Place?", if not for his "biggest fan". Sha'dir would never have guessed it, but his biggest fan was none other than the host of his childhood t.v. show, Floyd Jackson. Unfortunately, Floyd had problems, serious problems. He shared a special type of feelings for the children who appeared on his show. The kind that can get a man of Floyd's years, arrested. Long story short, while Sha'dir was getting ready backstage to perform his smash-hit single, "I Treat Women With Respect" off of his brand-new album, "Lil' Sha Sha's Funky Mix", Mr. Jackson tried to pull a fast one. After the media caught wind of the news story, no parent wanted to expose their child to Sha'dir and his tragic story.

Years have gone by now and Sha'dir is now a man in his middle-aged years. He is still living in seclusion from the rest of the outside world with only his dog, Barder, as his companion. He is still ashamed of his life, and who would blame him. He has no job, friends or family. Plus, the way he looks now doesn't help him in any way to start a family. The drugs he was given to cope with the mental stress of his horrific experience have stunt his growth. However, Sha'dir has a plan. While in the black market the other day, Sha'dir stumbled upon a turban. The shopkeeper claimed that the turban granted a dog the power of flight, the only reason Sha'dir even bothered with Barder. Now with his new weapon, Sha'dir intends to use the turban, his flying dog Barder, and his immense knowledge to go back in time to stop the evil Floyd Jackson from ever soiling his childhood body.

Hope you enjoyed...
