Write To Death

 Write  To Death

                     Once upon a time there was a man by the name of Michael Future.  Michael was a writer 

of  fictitious stories, who lived high above the earth in the sky.  (Many in fact said his head was in the 

clouds.)  The problem with Michael's writing's is that he wrote things that would soon come true.  For

 this the government kept an eye on him.  

                     Michael Future felt that people were just being silly.  Though he did know that he did have

the ability to write something and then it would come true, but what was he to do about it?  He wrote 

down the death of President Kelcy and it happened just as he said.   So, Michael was arrested, and 

charges were brought up against him.     

                  Police Officer Komandoff, came to the house of Michael Future, and arrested him.  Officer 

Komandoff said, "Michael Future, you are under arrest for your writings'.  You have been writing 

books that become truth.   You even wrote about the death of President Kelcy, before he died.  So for 

his death you are being blamed.

                  About that time Attorney, Daniel Aclu,  said he was taking Mr. Future's case.  Attorney Aclu 

told officer Komandoff that he was trampling all over Mr. Future's constitutional right's.  Officer 

Komandoff  just blew the attourney off saying, "his client lost his constitutional rights when he wrote 

the president to death, after all his pen is a loaded gun."

                    Judge Stone Hard shook his head in disbelief, and agreed to hear the case.  He also 

ordered to put Mister Future in a dungeon with a computer and a C.D. to write with.   He further said 

that Michael was to have no bedding nor clothing to prevent suicide.   

                    Now when in court things just got worse.   To start off with Michael Future was charged 

with literary crimes.  Added to that was witchcraft which was punishable by fire.   Added to that, he 

was charged with the high crime of murdering President Kelcy (whom was ruler of 3/4 of the world).  

This had happened as he said in Mr. Futures book "High Murder".  Then also, and lastly Michael was 

charged with time travel without a license as a way of writing things before they happened.

                    To that, Daniel Aclu had to make a rebuttal.  "Witchcraft is a religious practice, and is 

therefore, covered by the constitution.  Literary Crimes again unconstitutional, what I am saying is 

what makes it a literary crime anyway?  Do we not have the right to free speech?  You say he is guilty 

of murder, but does Mister Future own a gun?  How did he kill President Kelly?  As far as a license for

time travel, I've never even heard of such a thing.  Time travel does not exist, never does, never will.  

Therefore we have no need for a license for such a thing.

                  Judge Stone had to laugh at this.  He addressed the jurors and told them to recall that when 

one is arrested they have no rights.  " The way things are sounding, Mr. Future is a literary magician.

It is also possible he is time traveling through his writings such as "I knew Christ" which was well 

researched. " 

                 Officer Karl Komandoff  was the next on the stand.  Officer Komandoff was asked what he 

saw Mr. Future doing at the time of his arrest.  The officer simply stated, "I observed writing a new 

book.  It would be easier if he was being tried in a literary court.  At least then maybe the Queen of

 Hearts (Referring to Alice in Wonderland) could say, 'Off with his head'" The court rang with laughter

 to his Alice In Wonderland     reference.  The judge, however, was not amused.

                The judge then called for the writer to come to the stand.  All of the others in the court 

looked at one another in disbelief, because this was only done in a last attempt.  So, Future simply

 asked how he could help the court.  So the underlying question was asked of Future if stories could kill

people.  Future just laughed at this and said "why it is possible for ideas from stories to be used, but 

stories themselves could not kill people." 

               Aclu then asked Mr. Future if writing was dangerous.   To this Future laughed, and said. 

"Only in the since that you could starve to death on it's wages."

               Aclu then asked if time travel was ever used in writing to which Mr. Future said, "George 

Orwell did write 1984 in 1948.  There is also the Terminator, but things like that are pure Science 

Fiction.  I believe it was people who wrote about things they knew would happen in the future then 

 wrote about them."

               The next to take the stand was a fictitious character by the name of Wardworf.   He was a

fictious character out of a book written by Michael Future.  The book was titled "The Wizard in The 

White House".  So the wizard was asked about the copywrite to which he said it was 1975.  When 

asked if he knew who Mr. Future was, his reply was that he was his creator.  He said that the "Wizard 

In The Whitehouse" created a legend  around King Ford and the mess that he cleaned up.

                At which time Aclu cross examined him asking him if anything in "The Wizard In The White

House" happened in real life.  The Wizard could not recall anything other than the King of Georgia 

dethroning the King of Colorado.   Then he replied, "but that is entertainment".

               To this Aclu said "As you said the story was written in 1975.  Are you sure my client was the 

writer since it is now the year 6002.  Could your creator not have been another Michael Future."

                The Wizard just sighed shrugged his shoulders, and said "all I know is that in the end there 

can truly be only one."

                 So Aclu addressed the jurors and stated  the following, "What we have heard here is the facts 

that a writer has had his constitutional rights trampled on.  We are told that he was a murderer, but 

where are the facts.  Who did the actual murder?  They said he was a time traveler, but even if he is 

does that make it a crime?  Others say he is a witch, but a witch is a wise person, and a religion, not a 

crime."

                The State Attorney then took the stand to address the jurors.   He said, "You must remember 

most of what you have heard by the defendant is true.   Recall, however, that the defendant says witch-

craft is okay.  May I remind you that only a witch can get a true witch off trial.  I might also state that 

literary witches are the worse type of witches that there are.   Due to the fact that Mr. Future is also the 

possible cause of President Kelcy's Murder, then Mr. Future should be given life.  If the man can travel 

back in time then I'd say let him go back to his own time."

              After these statements Judge Stone Hard said, "Mr. Future can you, or anyone in this room tell 

me when I am going to die?    I certainly don't know, nor do I want to know.  So this case will be 

dismissed until tomorrow. "   Then he muttered to himself that this is becoming like a witch hunt.

              After Judge Stone Hard let the jury go until the next day.  Future spent the rest of the evening

 on a computer, in a dark dungeon.  While in the dungeon he writes what would happen the very next 

day. So before the court readjourns he knew what the outcome would be.

             As the court readjourns   Michael Future sits down with a smile on his face.  When the judge 

begins to get the sentencing for Michael Future, all but the judge are standing.  Soon the judge falls 

over dead no apparent reason given.  Michael Future just simply disappears, and none new where he 

went.  The DA went absolutely bezerks.  In fact he was so excited over the event that his head got all

red and he then exploded.

              Mister Future was found in a library 878 years in the past.  Once again we find that Michael

was a writer of fictious stories.   He lived high above the earth in the sky.  (Many in fact said he had his

head in the clouds.)  The problem with his writings is often what he wrote would come true to life.
