Relay Writing: Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, there was a man living in New York. He worked at an insurance company, five days a week from 9 in the morning to 6 in the evening, One day, as he was typing on his laptop, it suddenly occurred to him that his hands were grotesque. The end of his arms was divided into five lanky, ugly, pieces that could move separately. He immediately felt disgusted at this weird part of him. (Hajin)

At first, he thought that the whole thing was a dream. He slapped and pinched himself muttering that this was a dream. However, nothing changed. After few hours of panic and staring, he decided to face it. (Minseok) “I have hands!”, he thought. These hands were what made him work 5 days a week from 6 to 9 at an insurance company. (Jaehyun)

 I finally realized that hands are the most important part of our body. After some considerations, I stopped working at an insurance company. I purchased a ticket to Africa. After some immigration process, I became a doctor who cures (Gukmyeong) 

refugees who are victims of the wars and battles. Curing countless patients, I came to realize that the problem will never be fixed unless I stop the war. So I decided to become a war leader who fights for the weaks by using my grotesque arms which once annoyed me. Preparing for the war, I came to discover that my arm was a alien lazer cannon which can destroy enemies. (Woohyeon) 

At the same time, I realized that the real arm was invisible and the visible arm was alien lazer cannon. Thus, my hands which allowed me to work 5 days a week from 6 to 9 were “invisible hands.” These “invisible hands” led to a high productivity of me. I wanted to learn more about economics. I took an airplane to visit the best economist in the world. (Seungmin)

On the airplane, a young passenger sitting next to the man was reading an economics book on the theory of invisible hand. The man asked if he could borrow the book, and started to read it. However, as he reached out to turn the page, he realized that he could not turn the pages with his alien laser cannon. Frustrated, he held up the book and shook the pages with all his might. This was not a wise decision; his alien laser arm let out a bomb, and the whole airplane crashed into the ocean. The evening news reported the most grotesque scenes of the crash, and a reporter kindly mentioned that the plane crash had killed more people than the number of refugees that the man had saved.
