I feel like neither Lightspeed nor Puffin4Tom read anything besides the OP.

Ok, thanks for ruining it LJS. I was trying to be humorous, and I didn't copy the joke from that website.

No, i wasn't serious. Anyway, here's the real contest;

-Each contestant will create, in words, a short story about the character Skyler. It could be anything, but it must be about it explicitly. Length is around 5-10 sentences.

This is only the first half. Now GO!

Can it be pseudo-nsfw, like The Assumption Song?

3-character URLs are kinda valuable. Every one possible has been taken for a long time.

You're quite welcome. I do my best.

I was about to write an actual story. :( Searching Interwebz...

EDIT: Screw it. Actual story instead. Jokes are too hard.
Spoiler:
INT. CIA SURVEILLANCE VAN - DAY
CIA SURVEILLANCE VAN contains various screens and microphones, assorted other equipment, and two AGENTS. AGENT 1 is monitoring one of the screens, and AGENT 2 is sitting in the front of the van.
AGENT 1: Oh my god he's doing it again.
AGENT 2: Again?
AGENT 1: Yup. Again.
AGENT 2: Oh my god.
AGENT 2 puts his head in his hands.
AGENT 1: This is absolutely disgusting.
AGENT 2: Don't even tell me. I don't want to know.
AGENT 1: Jesus Christ! He just -
AGENT 2: If you tell me I swear to god I will throw you out of this van.
AGENT 1: I think I'm gonna be sick.

INT. SKETCHY APARTMENT - DAY
Skyler smiled and kept going.

LJS wins, in my opinion. Cool points for ambiguity.

My entry:
Spoiler:
Skyler is a person. But not just any person. You see, Skyler is a particular kind of person known as an Ageless Faceless Gender Neutral Culturally Ambiguous Adventure Person, or AFGNCAAP for short. Skyler falls through an interdimensional rift, loses his new overpriced phone, and fucks a pony.

That is my entry:
Spoiler:
The cyber world always fascinated John. He began to toy around with computers at the age of 6 and by his 12th birthday he was already making little games and programs for his own amusement. He was only 15 when he hacked into his first data base, he approached it as just another riddle he was eager to solve. The thrill and adrenaline in the act gave him pleasure, he left marks and clues on the scene of the crime and generally loved the risk in his deeds. It was like a drug for him – just instead of sniffing white powder he was sniffing packages. And now he sits again in front of the screen, he is 20 now ... His name might be John but the world … it knew him by the name of Skyler.
