Microfiction: Adam and Eve

Bibliography: King James Bible (1611): Genesis 3.

 Adam tweets after being kicked out of the Garden of Eden:

 Dad really cares more about a piece of fruit than his own son smh if anybody has somewhere to crash for a bit hit my dms

Adam and Eve debate eating the fruit:

 Eve: "Take a bite"
Adam: "No"
E: "Just a taste"
A: "Nah"
E: "A tiny bit"
A: "Nope"
E: "A nibble"
A: "Negative"
E: "Just one bite"
A: "Ok, fine"
God:

Author's Note:

I decided to try out the micro-story option for week 4 and had a lot of fun with it. The first story is Adam's first tweet after his "dad" God kicks him out of the garden. It was actually kind of hard to get it under 140 characters! For the second one, I wanted to look at the discussion between Adam and Eve. While writing it I thought about the "Am I a joke to you?" meme and thought it would be a good way to capture God's potential reaction to them breaking his one rule. This week was short and sweet, but I thought I was pretty creative with it.

    Hi Andrew!

    LOL, this is the funniest microfiction I have read this semester. I use Twitter (just like most of us college students), and this tweet is definitely something I could see in real life, especially the language you chose. The meme is very amusing as well. I would love to read some more of your microfiction later, so I hope you continue to write more throughout the semester!

    Hi Andrew!

    I was stopping by to reply on the comment you left on my week three story! Yes, I am a lover of Gossip Girl. I have watched it tooo many times. It does take some time to get into, but once you are hooked there is no stopping! I highly recommend if you can find some free time.

    These microfictions were really funny! I love that you incorporated modern elements like gifs and twitter. Doing a twitter post is actually a great idea for designing a microfiction. I enjoyed the creativity and look forward to reading more of your stories!

Introduction to Andrew the CS Major

Image
Hello! My name is Andrew and I am a junior majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. I chose CS because I have liked coding since high school and software engineering is a field that is growing really quickly. I added a math major because it only required taking 3 extra math classes, plus Spanish. This summer I will be interning in Dallas which I'm really excited about. I have lived most of my life in Fairfax, Virginia, a suburb of Washington D.C. However, I was born in Boca Raton, Florida. In addition, I have lived in Italy for one year when I was in the seventh grade. My favorite book is Ender's Game, as it is the only book that I've ever read multiple times. My favorite sports teams are the OKC Thunder and Juventus. My favorite food would have to be steak, closely followed by Pad Thai. A medium-rare steak.

Week 9 Story: Mr. Tanuki's Heist

Image
"I don't know, honey, this seems dangerous..." "Oh hush, darling, trust me we'll be fine. Have I ever let you down before?"  Mr. Tanuki grabbed his flashlight and peeked around the corner. It was almost midnight and time for another one of his heists. The mission was simple: sneak into the jewelry store under cover of darkness and take whatever they could fit in the bag. The jewelry store had just moved into the city from the next town over and had made the mistake of bringing over some of their inventory before the security system was fully installed. Mr. Tanuki, of course, would take advantage of this. The store was fairly protected from the outside. Standard camera setup, barred windows, motion detectors, the whole nine yards. The inside, however, did not have these same cameras and motion detectors yet, so it was only a matter of finding a way inside. A classic break-in would be futile and certainly leave evidence. However, the ventilation sys
