My Mad Dream of an Essay

Remember that time you ate that spicy house just before you went to bed on the night before the big Ruby's 15?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the smelly 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 the park waiting to be sent to work.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Plutarco Astia, looking like a crazy bear who could eat a whole hand.  

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to swim.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy milk and couch and then you had make a tree to go back in time to Disneyland so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and women's rights .

But right there in the school there was a giant mug and it started running at everyone.  People started to drive.  You grabbed a plant from a nearby plate and yelled "Equal pay for equal work!".  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
