If you were one part human, two parts something else — another animal, a plant, an inanimate object — what would the other two parts be?
Being a gamer, this question caused all sorts of ideas to pop up for me.
Creating characters, alter egos for role-playing adventure games is something I have grown used to through the years. There is something about stepping out of the normal every-day life and into the world of magic and adventure that just lets you escape, literally. Yes, some people take it too far, but most are like me – seeking a diversion from the worries of their world once a week.
So, if I had to create a hybrid/mutant self, what would I be?
There would be dog aspects definitely. Something big and protective, like a mastiff or a Great Dane, and probably something soft and fuzzy. Since cats and dogs literally do not mix, Would I go so far as to put some feline into the mix? No, I don’t think so. Not this time round. I’d put some Labrador in there. You can’t go wrong with having a Labrador for a friend or in the mix of what you have. Their love and loyalty are remarkable, and since having Chewie in my life, well, I would definitely want a part of him to round out the big, strong protector.
People already say I am part dog anyway, and I already have my pack. 🙂
