Helmet vs facepunch?
Oww.
Eh, Eli's taken worse than a facepunch.

So true...
I've done something similar to this... with my English final.
Thankfully, due to a scheduling mishap, it wasn't due the day I thought it was.
A wondrous look at the mundanity of headline news. I love smiling to myself when I read the puns and compare the headline/ad formats to real world stuff.
It was short, sweet, and funny.

8165208 I often look back at this story and want to redo it somehow. Perhaps in a more genuine news fashion (a thirty or so chapter story that's literally in the style of a newspaper). Though I'm afraid if I did that, it'd come across as brutal satire of sensationalism—one of my most hated things.
I digress though. I'm extremely happy you likes the story! It's one of my personal favorite's as far as my older stories go.
8166117 I am surprised it hasn't garnered more attention. But you also have many stories for your audience to read, and not all can be given the attention they deserve
8167491 Well, thank you! I've had five stories hit the featured (two of them without the mature filter off three with it on).
I blame the fact many of my stories are light on story and higher on silliness. I've been working in fixing that.
8168321 I think it might work to your advantage sometimes, but you have the data from behind the keyboard, and I don't.
8170088 If said data has told me anything, it's that it's worked both in and against my favor.
On one hand, I've yet to see one of my stories end up with more dislikes than likes (which still amazes me to no end). It's also helped me find my calling card in writing comedy (which I've found I've made people laugh with what I guess could be described as sketch comedy or a Looney Toons episode in text format).
On the downside, I've also found that there's a reason the aforementioned two are often, well, filmed and whatnot. I think some of what I write would work better as an animated short on YouTube rather than a story. Though that could just be me. Regardless, I've learned a lot over the year I've been writing on here and I feel I've gotten much, much better. I just need to learn how to weave jokes and plot together instead of relying on jokes to advance the story. A shame I can sometimes be a bit of a sluggish learner for something so simplistic.
Sorry for the rambling by the way. I get carried away.
8170615 Every word of that comment is so true.
