Are you man or mouse? (Cliche assignment)

With Lennie already headed down the river, George came running out of the barnhouse. Curley followed with a full head of steam. It was as dense as a London fog. Both men had butterflies in their stomachs as they approached one another. By the expressions on both their faces they realized they were both bad to the bone and they were going to go balls to the walls. When George saw Curley pull on his glove, he knew he was in deep do do. Curley came at him with a charge and was swinging for the fences. George cried in agony "Give it a rest!". For Curley it was gut check time. With all hands on deck, Curley threw a fury of punches that were all over the map! Curley had the man power to noticed that George was all bent out of shape and he knew by Georges facial expression that "All bets were off." As Curley let George stand up, Curley started to monkey around. George didn't take Curley lightly and stated "It's my way or the highway Buck-o!" George took Curley for a ride, by giving him fury apon fury of punches. With the tail between his legs, Curley layed flat on his back as he cried like a baby. After he took five, Curley stood up as quick and ran for the fences! Watching Curley run away, George knew he had done his job and wore is heart on his sleeves. Lennie came jogging back, once noticing george as the victor and asked If he was "raised by wolves?" With a smeark on his face he replied, " Whatever tickles your fancy Lennie, but to me it's all in a hard days work."

Who's That!

In the society we live in today there is only one apparent super power I would enjoy. Obviously it would have to be the ability to be a shape shifter. Acquiring this trait could help with problems in the world and it could also be used in a sinister way. With this talent I could be the broken part of the bridge that saves a 80,000 pound logging truck from running off the road and plunging into a swift, white water rapid river. If I was the type of person to have a villainous mindset, I could shape shift into the key to a vault for a very affluent bank. Transportation would be effortless because with one thought of being an airplane I would already be in the air soaring to my destination. For many people, with myself having the capability to shape shift would put people out of employment due to the fact that I could do so many things and be so many tools that civilians would not be able to compare to me. In turn this would result in me having an abundance of money. Eventually after many years of helping society and committing crimes without getting caught I would retire on top, with a large collection of cash.
