The Death Of Invention

On the first day, he sat playing with a hangnail on his thumb,

staring at his feet, wishing he could Google, "How to start a fire

with sticks". On the second day, he built himself a small house

because he was already tired of getting rained on. By the third month,

he had built an entire town. And people lived there with him. And he called

himself "Mayor Joe" and tried to make rules, but no one listened to him because 

he didn't even know how to start a fire with two sticks for chrissake.

I agree with Timmy. Also, theres the sense of irony in our achievements dwarfed by our inabilities.

I can't put my finger on it yet, maybe it's how colorful and swiftly this reads, but I really goddamn like this one.

witty!

I like how he [wished] "he could Google, 'How to start a fire
with sticks'. "

There is a sense of loneliness in this Mayor Joe's story.
