So today I made a chain of tweets regarding our individual drama performances next week. Basically for our Language & Drama subject this semester, we have to come up with our own unique story to perform on stage individually. And that's what exactly happened.
26 different stories, some share the same concept of either modern or gory interpretation of childhood fairytales, an adaptation of video games while some stick to usual, ordinary storytelling. Well, most of us choose to do monologue. It seems neater and cooler.
With only a few days before the real performance to be assessed and analysed, I have created the weirdest theory ever that we as classmates are somehow intellectually connected.
Now, without further due, let the tweets speak for themselves.
So last week I developed a weird, intricate yet amazing theory of how each and every one of my classmates is somehow connected.

I found out that there are some sort of connection between our stories for individual drama performance.

This theory is set up within three periods of time: the past, the present and the future. Like any other history and time concept.

There are multiple stories of princes and princesses, queens and kings. And for each princess there will a godmother.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Now, before the time of royalty and aristocrats, there was a time where mythologies are like legend (such as the story of Persephone)...
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Even the story of how a girl was kept hidden by a witch then turned out to become the Grim Reaper...

Now during the royal age, there were some ppl being so envious of being a princess, and how jealousy took control of a kingdom...
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Then, everything went downhill, castles were attacked, kings were slaughtered. Soon, the castles once known to be the centre of a kingdom...
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
...now became a haunted mansion of ghosts and vampires, restless souls of the underworld, deemed to roam the earth for eternity.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
But how would the present society know about the history? Mostly through bedtime stories told to generation after generation.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
If you don't believe me, name one bedtime stories with absolutely no princess, prince, king, queen, beast, monsters or anything of the past.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Now, the present time is how men and women got to settle down and be civilised; How they can treasure the past, like old cars and teddy bear

Family members sometimes come and go. There's one story where a kid got left out by his own father after a bedtime story.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
It doesn't states clearly as to what happens to his dad. Did he died, or ran away?
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
If he died, so the son is talking to a dead person. Like how the story of a heartbroken girl have a discussion with her sister.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
If he ran away, then that father is being so irresponsible to left out his family just like that. Like that letter a girl wrote to him.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
You see, if this story of "missing dad" is unclear, it obviously states that "men are really complicated". Don't you agree?
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Now like I said earlier about the issue of talking with dead people, what about the story of a Latina ghost in a home?
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
She died because of a broken family, right? Is it the same father?
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Or is it the kid who was left in a room, died of hunger? Who keeps complaining stuffs to a teddy bear?
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
I mean, you get tons of likes and comments there. At least you can be a vlogger or something. You got to rant things and tell people stuff.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Sometimes these ranting and vlogging are based on stereotypes portrayed by the society. Eg: we Malaysians have stereotypes.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Stereotypical portraying in media. Hmmm... the media seems to control everything around us right? They got to set the standards etc.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
These standards are what we expect to be. The sight beyond expectations. Something we can't be but we want to be. It's the media intention.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Now I don't know about you, but some teenagers suffer to be the kind that they can't be. They went downhill and they got nothing but...
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
....pain and depression. Two things that contribute to the very failure of society if left unsolved. And you know what happens after that?
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
History repeats itself. The world as we know crumbles down to pieces and disintegrate. A well-developed utopia becomes a hopeless dystopia.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
The seven deadly sins are the starter kit, the effects beyond that are irreversible.

Soon, humans become non-humans. Addicted to things they should've not taken. And it's contagious.
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
Soon, a person that drives another person insane. The mind goes haywired and broken. Useless. If this is the inevitable future of us...?
— Ikhmal (@ikhmalzikry96) February 1, 2015
You see, we write stories based on real-life events and bend it with our own imagination. That's how the human mind works.
