Deeply Disturbing

In a dark apartment of a dark planet known as Earth resided

a dark-haired man who wanted to know if there was life after

modeling. There was his time, long ago. He had it all:

friends, money, good looks, and hot girls. Then his friend

died in a freak gasoline fight accident and his good looks

were ruined by third-degree burns. The girls left him, and he

soon found that money alone wasn't enough to keep him so busy

he didn't have to think about anything. Money isn't really

all that great until you use it to buy cereal.

Derek Zoolander (the ex-male model of the previous

paragraph) was trying to think of a word. Every few seconds

he punched his couch. It didn't really help, but it made him

feel better. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by loud

noises in the alley. He walked out on his fire escape and

stared in awe at the scene below. "They're breakdance

fighting!" he gasped. It was Keanu Reeves and Ben Stiller.

Eventually Derek figured out they were fighting over who got

to play his role, but it was dark by then, so he couldn't

tell if they were still down there. "Why not Tom Cruse?" he

mumbled and retreated into his rabbit-hole.

That night, Derek had a bad dream. He was surrounded by men

with dark glasses and disturbing hairdos. In fact, it was

almost as if there were poodles on their heads. Derek asked

them "What do you want of me?" One of them leaned close to

Derek's face, so close Derek could smell his breath. "You

should brush and floss," Derek said. "Dental care is

important for a good self-image." The figure leaned closer,

menacingly.

"Derek," it said, "We need your help."
