One day in the police station, Officer Bradshaw Johnson was getting ready to go to a crime scene, where the most amazing toaster strudel was stolen, to verify some evidence. He was very peevish because the chief (who at some points can be downright annoying) had him doing rookie jobs, jobs that even his half-witted partner Officer Donec could do. It was understandable that the chief had him on the job because Bradshaw had a unique way of going about these things. When he was finished getting ready, he went to tell the chief. "Chief!" Bradshaw yelled. "I'm all ready, and I'm moving out." But what the chief said next really made Bradshaw seethe with rage. "I want you to take Officer Donec with you on this one, Johnson." As soon as Chief said this, Officer Donec immediately was looming in the doorway. The reason Bradshaw was mad is because the last time he took Louis Donec on an investigation, Donec accidentally singed Officer Bradshaw's eyes with pepper spray. But Bradshaw didn't want a long oration from the chief so he just went along with it. He helped Louis get his miscellaneous stuff together, and they were off.
Once they arrived at the scene, they saw that the crime had taken place in a bakery, and the only two there were the owner and the janitor. Officer Bradshaw questioned them while Officer Donec stood upright in the corner and did nothing. During the questioning, Bradshaw noticed the janitor was more literate than your average custodian. He also noticed a small luster coming from the janitor's pocket, but so did Officer Donec. Officer Donec had a hankering for shiny things and often indulged himself. He tried listening to the little voice inside, but it was so under used, it was just a lowly drone . Even though he was listening to the little voice, his not so intelligent side started to culminate. It continued until it was fully animated and goading him. He tackled the janitor and sprayed him with the pepper spray. He grabbed the shiny thing which turned out to be the toaster strudel! The janitor was actually an international thief who was wanted in every country (except Yugoslavia) for stealing broods of animals. Donec was praised for his luck (for once he was a major constituent in a crime scene) and every one lived happily ever after.

Today is voting day and all the contestants gave their orations. A constituent was inside holding signs to help get their person to win. I didn't think it was downright unfair to have one person stand in the building with a sign. If you are a drone you are most likely not going to vote. The animated mayor was goading people to vote for him. One candidate was hankering to win. The new mayor loomed and gave her speech about miscellaneous people in our town...

Laiv Dimr was very happy with life. She was as upright as Honest Abe, and even so literate that she was the smartest in school. Laiv even wanted to be a writer one day! Through her eyes everything was lively and animated. She could listen to the drone of bees all day, or watch the brood of geese fly south, or examine rocks with shimmering luster. The only thing she didn't love was how her always peevish twin brother, Vial Dimr, downright despised her. He would chase Laiv, put nasty things in her bed, and even singe her eyebrows with seething water while she was sleeping somehow.
During an oration at school about following your dreams, Laiv was inspired. She always had somewhat of a hankering to write and that speech was all she needed to goad her to indulge in writing. Laiv scribbled down miscellaneous thoughts about geese, and the bees, and the rocks, and weaving on a loom. She edited, and extended, and improved until her short story was long enough to culminate. To Laiv, the author's name was a constituent part to verify that you have written a book. She wanted hers to be unique, so she sketched ideas. Laiv decided to try adding rocks and geese and bees. Then she would have, in a beautiful cursive style, her name, Laiv Dimr.
