Entry 1
I never said I liked art school, but it was either that or the Navy. Grandpa would see to that. What kind of choices are those, really? Mom said that after High School I couldn't live at home unless I went onto higher education. Ridiculous, really.My name is Monty O'Brien, and I am an atypical art student. I listen to Blind Guardian, and Megadeth, wear all black most of the time, and have little respect for artsy jerks that walk around quoting Picasso all the time. I've always liked drawing and stuff, but after my Father died, my Mom went overboard in trying to support any endeavor that I had the slightest interest in.
"Monty, you're always drawing things, going into art school is the next logical step, sweetie," she always says to me in her heavy Brooklyn accent. So it was no wonder that during my senior year of High School I would see art school pamphlets and other such propaganda for my new home away from home.
It was there that I discovered my love for oil paints.
I enrolled in an oil paint class for the hell of it, and found myself not wanting to leave when the clock hit 3:00. I learned everything that I was doing wrong in my doodles, and learned to convey emotion. My professor wasn't bad looking either.
About mid-semester is when I decided that class wasn't enough. I got a job at an on-campus Subway and began saving a bit of money so I could buy supplies so I could continue painting outside of class.
I began buying up rolls of canvas and all the oil paint that a Subway sandwich "artist" could afford, and began painting anything and everything. I painted my Slipknot CDs in a still life. I painted my Mother's obese cat sitting by the window. I even painted a fictitious battle between Agent Smith and Neo from The Matrix.
Gaining popularity, I had everyone telling me how much they loved my artwork, which I was selling for around $200 apiece. It was paying for food that I didn't steal from Subway, more Canvas and oils, and my "for-the-love-of-god-I'm-sick-of-my-shitbox-car" fund.
After finishing my first year of school, I had made about $2,000 from painting alone, and I still had a year to go for my Associate's Degree. This year was met with even more praise; I was an established artist with a recognizable name, and I was a teacher's assistant. I got offers to paint people's portraits, landscapes, properties, residential facades, and anything else that people wanted painted. Photographs are boring I tell you. I was flying through college with a 4.0 GPA, and thousands of dollars in art sales. My Associate's would just mean that I wasn't an amateur anymore.
As I was reaching the end of second semester of my second year, I had to complete a final project for the degree granting committee that would award me with a degree if they deemed it fit enough that I could demonstrate my abilities in a single piece.
I had a month to complete it, but I was at a loss for what I could do. I had always created contemporary pieces, things that people could relate to, and still lives that people see every day, but that was all amateur artwork. This piece needed to include all aspects of my abilities.
Three and a half weeks passed, and I had no idea what I could do. Deadlines approaching and stress mounting, I was at a loss. After getting off work, with the taste of cheap salami on my breath, I had to walk through a park where students gather at all hours to do anything they want--Frisbee, read, gymnastics, whatever-- and then I found it: My inspiration.
It seemed like nothing, it was just a man. He was sitting underneath one of the blue halogen street lamps that dotted the park. In his hands was an old guitar. His face was twisted in sadness, he was singing a song I didn't recognize, but it conveyed such emotion that the image stayed with me until I got back to my apartment and picked up my brushes.
After 10 straight hours of painting, shading, and sponging, I had finally finished my piece, truly one of my best. Something that I had no idea I could even produce, but after all, school is about expanding your boundaries.
I went to bed, even though it was about noon, with a feeling of satisfaction unknown to me my entire life. I was going to get that degree, and the easel in my quaint living room held the key. That Wednesday I would present my painting, now entitled "Noctem" because of its setting, to the committee.
My Mother offered to pay me $500 to hang it over her fireplace once I was done showing it off to my school's administration. I declined her money, but would let her have it anyway. After all, I think she deserved it after her obvious nagging and pushing to get me to go to an art school.
***
Wednesday morning. My appointment was at 10:00AM, and I was to submit a short essay on the thoughts, emotions, and images conveyed in my painting, along with style, flow, and lighting techniques. Not too bad, although I think the painting speaks for itself.
I carefully strapped it into the backseat of my car, and started the short drive to the administration building where all of the students would eventually go to be given their decision. Traffic was mild, but I did get stuck at a long line behind a stop sign. Finally, I walked into the building with the canvas under my arm, covered, and stapled to a backing frame. The heavy paper cover was taped at the top, and covered the painting until I was ready to show to the committee.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know, my piece is a painting. I have demonstrated several techniques in this piece, including impressionism . . ." My description wasn't important to me. I wanted to show them my masterpiece, my life's culmination up to that point. "...I present to you, my piece, entitled "Noctem."
I quickly removed the paper cover and stood beside it proudly. They whispered quietly, when the chairman spoke: "Mr. O'Brien, is this intentional?"
"Uhm, uh, is what intentional?"
"There are no facial features."
I did a double take. I couldn't believe it, the oil had smudged. I looked at the paper cover in my hand and saw it glisten with wet paint. The heat from the morning sun must have melted the paint in that one spot! How could I have been so stupid! Unless . . .
"Yes sir. That was intentional. I wanted to convey an image of facelessness, in the sense that the subject does not need to have a face to still remain human. The emotion is still conveyed with the position of the body, the instrument, and the lighting." I was in trouble. "I also chose not to give the subject a face because of gender issues. I think that the subject should have no gender here." Kill me now. The members whispered to themselves for a few moments before all turning back to me.
"Excellent work, Mr. O'Brien. Let's keep this one instead of selling it, eh? See you at Commencement, young man."
***
"I think it's pretty. It seems like it's leaving everything to the imagination. And you say that it had a full face before?"
"Yes Mom, the sun melted the face off. But to tell you the truth, I actually like it more. Even though the face took me 2 hours to fully complete, but that's another story."
"I'm very proud of you, Monty. You're a real piece of work."
"Ha, I don't think I'm done yet, Mom."

Entry 2
She sat in the chair just vacated by the man in line before her, waiting."Finally! Took me 47 years!" He had said with exuberance as he held the door and she walked in and took the open chair, "I've been released," his words hung in the room and he was gone.
His file marked simply '4.875.990.015, Status: Complete' was quickly covered by her own marked '5.439.774.356, Status: Pending.'
The meeting began.
"So...5.439.774.356, start at the beginning and describe, in detail your role in the project progression to-date. Please focus on what you consider to be most significant in the process. Be specific, if at all possible."
5.439.774.356 shifted her weight uncomfortably in her chair. She folder her hands over a small stain on her pants, something from this morning's breakfast. She hadn't expected an accounting at this stage, or for that matter - ever.
She had been sitting in her car watching the traffic signal waiting to turn left into Peppy's Pizza already thinking about the melted cheese. Now she found herself here, strangely, sedated, slightly giddy and casually aware of someone else, someone larger in the room.
She began as expected.
"I was given to the project about 24 years ago. The day I started, I remember it was dark and I felt this sudden pressure and then....," 5.439.774.356 waved her arms expansively.
"I do not require the specifics of the actual implementation process."
"Oh, sorry, I've never done this before."
"Many times, actually, please proceed."
"Well, in the early years, I had supervisors. They oversaw things. I paid attention though and took notes. I was master of my universe and solved most of my problems with a magic eight ball or daisy petals.
"You took notes?"
"Ah...well...no...not actually 'notes notes'."
"What kind of 'notes' then?"
"OK, I didn't take notes," 5.439.774.356 furrowed her eyes at the interviewer.
"Please, proceed, keep the information accurate, if at all possible"
"Right, yes, of course," 5.439.774.356 continued.
"About 16 years into the project things became more complicated. My supervisors had delegated general operations to me, but my version of progress was different from theirs. They failed to understand the benefit of my Nirvana inspired research for example and quite unreasonably thought Geometry was relevant.
I was having regular conflict with upper management around this time. I came to work late and was resistant to documenting my time. But understand, it was a confusing creative phase that, I might add, became all the more confusing when John Vanderberg kissed me behind the school gym."
"Geometry is relevant."
"Wha?...Oh yeah, well....ah...I can see that now, I guess...but...ah..."
"Please proceed."
"OK, well, John introduced me to the concept that I could not get what I want from others unless I offered something in return."
"So you gained knowledge of the balanced interactions principal?"
"Well, ah...let's just say John and I negotiated and the deal was made. John bought me pizza and let me drive his convertible and I gave him a free pass to my A cups in exchange. But eventually John moved on to bigger things further up the alphabet so to speak. But in the years to come I became more intimate with the rewards of a well-balanced partnership, if you know what I mean?"
"Assume that I know more about what you mean than you do. Everyone seems to dwell on this particular stage. Please proceed."
"Ah, OK...well...let's see...I invested in higher learning and became Certified Nail Technician"
" 'Nail Technician' how promising"
"Yes. Are you mocking me?"
"I don't answer questions. Please proceed."
"Well honestly there's a period in there between 20 and 23 that I'm having difficulty recalling at the moment. But I remember I got a cat and learned to be content with my own company, as I don't recall dating anyone during that time. Is that bad?"
"Let's move on to your current status."
"Well I quit my job at the Gold Fingers, the boss was a bitch! I mean we failed to connect properly. Should I go into that?"
"That won't be necessary."
"OK, well I just applied for the waitress position at Peppy's Pizza, I should know by Wednesday. Rick thinks I'll look hot in the black shorts. Did I mention Rick? We've have been dating for 5 months now. He drives an Escort but once he gets his tax return he's going to by a Camero! So a lot has been going on, really."
"And, is that it?"
"I voted...twice."
"So that brings us up-to-date then?"
"Yes, I guess so."
"OK then, 5.439.774.356, this concludes the process."
--------------------
The light turned green and Angela Browning pulled into the intersection. Elsewhere an executive decision was made to terminate the funding for project 5.439.774.356.
A split second later Angela Browning met 4.875.990.015 quite by accident.

I'm pretty disappointed, maybe with all the forefits they'll let some of the close ones into the second round or something.
The only reason I'm a gracious loser is because I was defeated by a worthy opponent. If I lost to someone like Electro, well, heads would have fuckin rolled, motherfucker.

Wow. I never expected to spend the last two days continuously hitting 'refresh'.
I certainly didn't expect to pull this one out. Compliments to my opponent's submission, which won the popular vote conclusively.
I realize it's a sign of a flawed writing to have to explain it afterwards but...for those who asked:
The character numbers had nothing to do with IP addresses instead there were a reference to the approximately 6 billion people on earth. The story was intended to suggest that we are all interviewed regularly by a higher power and are systematically 'removed from project life' by either 'being released' by properly completing the mission or by having our funding revoked due to poor performance. The characters were taken from the project for different reasons at the same time (the crash) just because it was efficient for upper management to do it that way.
Perhaps I should stick to something more to the point next time.
Thanks to all who voted.

Arg, this was a tough one.
Entry 2, here are my problems. The numbers for your characters were very long and hard to memorize, making me flip back to the beginning of the story to see if the last number mentioned was the same as the first one in the story. While I like a sense of mystery in a post, this was a little too open-ended for my tastes. The ending was vague and confused me a little...if the first guy was released, why did they decide to make him get into a car crash with the protagonist? I just didn't quite get the motivation there.
On the other hand, really, REALLY good concept. I liked the idea and I liked the interaction between the interviewer and interviewee. I liked the wordy descriptions they used for everyday events.
Entry 1 gets my vote, but just by a hair. I liked that this post was about an artist and not child abuse or murder, or what not.

Neither was A+ material but I applaud both authors for giving the title an unexpected twist.
I liked #2 just a little more.
Again, thanks for making the effort that for the most part seems to be missing in this first round.

That was great
