Preface:Earnie was in his teens, at the peek of puberty.  He was just coming

        to realize that the world was going to end someday.  Terrified by this

        horrible thought, he shuddered and popped in the newest tape from

        Genesis..that temporarily brought him back to his usual self... He

        spent many a day jamming those poor beaten speakers with his 3rd

        class music.  He pushed up his glasses and leaped over his bed

        to the computer.. he had almost forgotten to cover his path on

        the newly found UNIX account glaring on his green screen.  After

        this feat was accomplished ease, he started getting ready for the

        computer meeting at the Library... After adding a few more handfuls

        of mouse to his already greasy hair, he grabbed his backpack...



Week later:The doorbell rings...Oh, it's only Gene, here at his usual time...

           "So what new tapes did you bring, Gene?", questioned Earnie

           in his high-pitched voice.. "I brought this awesome cool new

           tape, and your definitely gonna spaz when you hear this shit!"

           exclaimed Gene, in his normal 'Gosh Wally' type personality...

           So they raced up to the bedroom to play them...After MEN AT WORK

           came on, Earnie violently unplugged the 'jambox'. "Gosh Gene,

           I thought you said it was new, I've heard that tape a million

           times twice already... Say, let's go down and scope out some

           chicks at the library...". "Sounds swell Earn'. Let's get down

           there before anyone leaves...". They got down there alright,

           and the selection wasn't too exciting... Gene tried his luck.

           He walked up to a skinny girl with glasses. She shoved her pencil

           up his ass when he tried 'touching' her... "Oh well Gene, at

           least you DID get to touch her... I'm proud of you... Looks like

           we'll make a man out of you yet".  "Gee, do you really think so?"



Later in the week:(Over the phone):"Ok Gene, I guess you can come over

          today...This time bring a GOOD tape...".  "Alright, on my way

          dood, get ready to ROCK!"



After arriving:Earnie answered the door... Gene started talking before

          Earnie could speak. "Earn bud, so sorry my man, but I can't

          stay, but I at least brought you over this tape... I don't know

          what's on the back side, so try it out..".  "Ok, thanks Gene.

          Tomorrow?".  "You bet, see you at the normal time."



Later:"Earnie, get your tail down here.  Your supper's getting cold". "Be right

      down ma.".  After making a game of jumping down the stairs, he skipped to

      the dinner table... "Ma, guess. I got another 'A' in advanced Geometry

      Techniques class today... That makes 16 in a row..".  "Geez your such a

      nerd... Just go jump off the roof!" said his sister [17, and gets bad

      grades].  "Now Angie, that's not acceptable at the table! Wipe your mouth

      and go to your room!"  squeaked their timid father, speaking for the 

first

      time.  Satisfied with the results of this, Earnest makes a face at his

      normal [and quite gorgeous] sister as she ignores her dad's command

      with a laugh.



That night:[Things get interesting]. Being satisfied with the first side

      of the tape, he flips it over and pops it back in.. After a period of

      silence, Earnie concluded that the volume was too low...So he turned

      it to '10'. Suddenly some very frightening music blasts throughout the

      house... Paralyzed by the event, Earnie was unable to turn it off...

      The tape rumbled for 10 minutes before his dad burst through the door.

      Earnie's hair was on end, and his face was red.. His dad leaped over

      the bed and turned it off...It took quite some time for Earnie to

      mutter 'I'm.........o.....k....".



That night Earnie couldn't sleep.. His mind was filled with thoughts that

wouldn't go away...He was unknowingly transforming inside...



Next morning:Getting ready for school was the normal routine...Almost.

             Today he put on eyeliner, as if he had always done that

             before school..He toyed around with thoughts for lyrics,

             but lyrics that were totally different to him.. Not even

             Earnie knew what was slowly happening to himself..



At the Breakfast table:"Earnie, you're such a dick!"  said his sister.

          Not even waiting for his parents to say anything, he blurts

          out "Fuck off bitch... I have every right to eat at the same

          table with such a goddess as yourself, please, can I can that

          privilege bitch?".. The table was now silent..Dad looked at

          Mom.  Mom stared at Earnie.  And so did his sister.  This had

          never happened before.  Things were going to be different.



And now the present:Today, Earnie was wearing his dad's boots from

        the war...Oddly, he also had the dogleash around his neck.

        [Along with that, he killed the dog for biting him when he

         was trying to get it.]. People at school still hadn't gotten

        over Earnie's transformation... They thought he had totally

        flipped from being on his computer too much.



Earnie was on his way to the local CoOp to pick up some new tapes.. Today he

was getting Suicidal Tendencies - Join the Army tape, and SOD - Speak English

Or die.. He didn't quite have enough to get a COC tape.  "Shit" he exclaimed

as he was a nickel short.  His brain had gone to waste in these new days, and

he decided to steal the tapes instead of the logical thing - Ask for a nickel!

Of course, he got caught, this was only his first attempt out of many to

come...



At the station:  Earnie was sitting in between 2 headbangers...Here's the

conversation:



"Hey fag, what's the makeup for?"

"Fuck off, it's too much for a Scrotum Sucking Slut like you to contemplate

 all at once!"-Earn

"Hey, you're a dead mother fucker! prepare to die!"

He and his friend got up to jump him, and he surprisingly pulled out

a newly purchased knife and slashed one while they pounded away...The charges

against him were adding up.  He was being busted for:  Theft, Computer Fraud,

Computer trespassing, and now Attempted Murder... Yes, there was a long

sentence for Earnie.. But don't worry, he should be out by the time he

is 60...



[ Moral ]



 Let this be a lesson for any of you nerds out there, never try

to be who you aren't.  Be yourself.
