Creative Writing


We had to write a story based on this picture. All we were told was that the dog was named Barder and the orange turban gave him the power to fly. This picture was taken by Jan Von Holleben, here is a link to more of his work. 

Johnny Jones and Wonder Dog
Johnny Jones was a kid superhero, he wore an orange turban and a blue jacket. His dog Barder and him flew all around the city of Chicago fighting crime. His orange turban was magical and gave the duo the power of flight. One day they were flying through the city and Barder hit the side of a building. At first Johnny ignored it and thought Barder just shook him as a joke. But Johnny soon realized it was no joke. Barder began plummeting straight towards the asphalt below. Johnny tried to pull Barder's collar and direct him at an angle but it didn't work. The two slammed hard against the black road and Barder's leg was torn wide open. Johnny was too afraid to look at Barder's mangled leg because he was afraid of blood. He covered his eyes and tried to look away but he was shocked to see tiny white stars pouring out of Barder's leg. Barder soon passed away due to his injuries and this sent Johnny into cardiac arrest. They both laid dead on the long Chicago road. The end.

  1. Do you think the shock from the crash caused Johnny to hallucinate, replacing the blood that had to be gushing from his dog with stars? Also, was Barder under the influence of any substances? Were these same substances what caused Johnny's hallucinations? It would explain Barder's injury's inability to clot and Johnny's cardiac arrest, as both could have easily been side affects. Or, to take it even further back, were they even flying at all? Had Johnny and Barder been sniffing glue/paint thinner/anything under the sink cabinet and decided to jump out of the window, tricked into thinking they could fly? They lie on pavement, facing along the road. If we zoomed out, would we see that they are in a cul de sac, with their house lining up perfectly with their perverted "flight plan"? Hopefully they are simply passed out in the garage.
