100 Word Story

Here's a one hundred word story I did for school. Just a tidbit, because I have nothing else to add, and I think there's too little written down here.

"It was a dark and stormy night. The superheroes couldn't find the Crystal Flask anywhere. Between flashes of lightning, The Fist thought he had seen it on top of a drawer. Everyone crowded to look for it, but no-one found it. In fact, we all went home without our bounty.
What they didn’t know was that I had it. I, the head of the entire agency, had stolen the Crystal Flask. I was the very best villain the world had ever seen. I was supposed to be the example tight-man, but hey. Nobody’s perfect."

The first and last sentences were required. The rest was strait out of my brain.
I think I'll be using BR to "publish" my stories a little more now. Maybe that's what I'll be using it for now. We shall see...


Editorial note: I just realised that this isn't actually 100 words. It's more like 96. Sorry!

Out with the Old, in with the New. Good advice?

I'm not one to give advice, but I find that this is a flawed statement. "Out with the old, in with the new", is a little bit of a paradox in certain ways; if you go "Out with the old" to the extreme, that would literally mean getting rid of everything old, including memories. Technically, a statement, such as "Out with the old, in with the new", is a thought, and after that thought has occured, it becomes a memory.
Therefore, you forget the concept of "Out with the old, in with the new" because of itself. Then, in theory, you could fall into a vicious circle, a constant pattern of thought. You think of "out with the old, in with the new", so you discard the memory of that thought, either keeping you from doing so again, or, you think of it again, and again you force yourself to forget it.

That's only in extreme cases.

But, in certain cases, "out with the old, in with the new" can be helpful, to a degree. Objects, technology needs to be updated, serviced so that it keeps working. Sometimes, it needs to be replaced with the new.
