My mad dream of an essay




Remember that time you ate that spicy [noun] just before you went to bed on the night before the big [game]?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the [adjective] details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a [restaurant] waiting to be sent to [a table near the window ].  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect [Seth Stone  ], looking like a crazy [bull] who could eat a whole [SUV].   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "[..some powerful mind acting on the elemental thought of duty..]."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to [scream for the top of your lungs your opinion on the election  ].  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy [gown] and [expensive earrings ] and then you had make a [time machine ] to go back in time to the [large group of protesters  ] so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the [promises they make and to learn well of what kind of person they are ].

But right there in the [large group of protesters ] there was a giant [spider ] and it started [yell] ing at everyone.  People started to [run].  You grabbed a [microphone ] from a nearby [person] and yelled[ about the upcoming presidential election].  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
