75 Years in the Future

Hey there readers! Today, I'll be blogging about my future and how I'd like to be remembered.

Fast forward to 2090, 75 years in the future. Cars drive themselves, technology invents itself, and phones are a thing of the past. As my life is coming to a close, there are several things that I hope that I'm remembered for. Concerning my grandchildren, I would like them to remember that I was the glitter in everyones day. Following this idea, I loved being to brighten up ones day, no matter how good or bad it was. I may not be a huge people pleaser, but putting a smile on someones face is the greatest reward that one can receive (besides presents, those are the bomb). I also want to be remembered for a major contribution to society. This may be a scientific, medical discovery, I'm not quite sure. All that I know is that I want to invent or find something that forever changes peoples' lives for the better. These two remembrances help to identify the person that I am. Although I may have a sarcastic personality, I find it very importance that I don't just live myself for me. I would like to give my knowledge to others, and share with the world who I was, that is, if my life goes as planned. All in all, I hope to be the glitter in ones day, and the sparkle in major discoveries.

The Waxwork Overview

In "The Waxwork," written by A. M. Burrage, a journalist named Hewson is set out to write an entry on a night in the Murders' Den. The journalist is convinced that writing a story about this waxwork horror scene is something that comes easy to the mind, and the manager finds Hewson's idea rather old, as many people before him have attempted the same thing. When the journalist is finally led into the den, the manager shows him each wax model, a particular one being Dr. Bourdette, who is a notorious murderer. Before he falls asleep, he goes mentally insane, imagining the wax figures coming alive and moving around him, quickly writing down notes about the terrifying experience. When he finally closes his eyes, he dreams about Dr. Bourdette stepping off of his pedestal, and coming close to murdering him; the journalist never wakes up.

I find that the most difficult situation that Hewson endures is his mental instability while in the den. I find this situation so hard because the only thing he sees is a dark room and killers surrounding, "watching" his every move. If I were in a similar situation, surrounded by wax figures of murderous, I would only imagine that my mind would play tricks. Often when I am in a spooky situation, I find that my mind makes the event more terrifying than it actually is. In my opinion, I think that this is what Hewson had to deal with mentally. It's only understandable, as I would probably end up just as he did (although, probably not dead.)
