A girl (slang/jargon)

There was a girl who was half Chinese and half English. Her father who has lived in Canada for over20 years now still speaks this weird blend of chinglish. This girl lived in the vibrant city of Toronto and loved every minute. The mix in cultures of this heaven reminded her of a fruit salad. People of all shapes, colours, and flavours (personalities) living in one place only made her creativity grow. She had very strong values as well including her passion for saving the environment. She even wears eco-fashions to try and do her part. She has a great sense of fashion, but in these economic times she tends to shop chiconomics. She was a spawny sort of girl, you gave her a lottery ticket and she was bound to win. Her good fortune and values inspired her to run for school presidency. Unfortunately the other girl spread shit sheets all over the school invoking disgust from the student body. So her spawny finally ran out and she lost the election.

cut out's

There was a man who was suffering from insomnia. Many people though he was suffering from hysteria. He would have these hallucinations that would glow like illuminations at Christmas. He came from a very small town called Pontypool. In this immensely boring town he held his place as the man who sees things that glow. The town had its usual check list of crazies from its woman who screams out nonsense to the man that has a different life story to tell each day. The priest of Pontypool likes to think of these people as the evil in harmony because he thinks they are possessed by the devil. But they really just give this small town character.
