The Life of Cannotthinkofaname




Prologue

        Cannotthinkofaname, when he was young, loved writing. Every single book or article that he enjoyed he copied down to preserve a copy for himself. Soon, he became very skilled at copying other people's work.


        Naturally, he became a scribe and was praised for his skills.

                                                        ^

    (root, noun) A professional copier who usually has official status. Latin.


A Difficult Job

        One day, Cannotthinkofaname received another job. However, this wasn't just any other job, because this one required him to copy one of the world's longest books - the Bible.


        He was asked to engrave each and every single word of the scripture onto a slab of stone.

        ^

(root, noun) The Bible or passage from the Bible. From Latin scriptura.






Agitation

        Pretty soon, Cannotthinkofaname became pretty annoyed by his work. Such a holy piece of writing was no easy job for him to complete. Every single letter he carved looked ugly and imperfect.


        No matter what, he could not be satisfied with his inscription.

                                                                                                        ^

                (root, noun) A record that is engraved onto a hard surface. From Latin Inscrīptiōn.



Origin of Graffiti

        This had never happened to him before, and the fact that he could not be satisfied with his work infuriated him. He could not stand that there was something he could not finish perfectly. In an act of extreme frustration, he took his largest pen (standing 1.62 yards tall) and ran out to the street.


        He screamed as he began to scribble bad words on the road.

                                                                    ^

                                           (root, verb) Messy or careless writing. From Latin scribere.



Going Crazy

        Soon, Cannotthinkofaname, under the immense torture, was driven crazy and lost all sense. He danced, sang, screamed, and cried as he wasted all his ink by scribbling bad words on the street. The townpeople became worried and decided to send him to the doctor.

        The doctor, being relatively inexperienced, decided to simply give him a prescription for medicine.
                               ^
(root, noun) Directions for the use of medicine. From Latin praescriptionem.




Death

        The doctor gave him the wrong medicine, and he soon died. Everyone was sad (kinda). He didn't have a funeral. Too bad!
