Monologue Of Mice And Men Short Story
The patter of the rain on the pavement presented a bathetic atmosphere. Perched atop a decaying warehouse, I sense an ominous situation occurring. A scream. The pounding of feet. More screaming. I look for the source of commotion. Crossing the rutted roof to the next alleyway, I look down below to see three burly men taking advantage of a girl attempting to walk home at night. Fixing the mask upon my head, I plunge to the alley floor. This ain’t happenin’. Not to my girl. Displaying my powers, webs jut out from my wrists and connect with the villainous men. Tossing them to the side like they were nothing, the crooks realized that they weren’t messing with an ordinary bystander. As the men run off and I know I have completed my job,

    Thankfully, George didn't seem to be mad at me. He didn't seem to be mad at me at all. We were both beside the brush far away from the ranch, infront of a vast river. Across the river was the Gabilan mountain range, which reminded me of the rabbits that I would soon be able to tend with George. I asked him to tell me about the other guys an' about us, like he's done before. Then I asked him to tell me how it's gonna be in the future, at our farm. I love it when he talks about the farm, and the way he describes it is so dreamy. Once again, it felt as if I fell into a deep trance by George's words; I could imagine all the rabbits and the alfalfa, the cows, pigs, and chickens.. All in our very own farm where we have our own freedom. As George…
