Creative writing - Swim's story

[Nargyle]

Since we are all huge fans of creative writing, with all those fictional stories we invent about this fictional character named Swim, I think it is time someone writes down Swim's story, where he's from, what he does, how he became the way he is.
So all of you who like to write fiction, lets give Swim a background story!
There could be several stories, each one writing one, then the most creative one wins a trip to swimland!!

Swim grew up in the desert in California in a trailor where his parents cooked crystal meth,they would often give swim hits of it when he turned 17.Swim got addicted and started robbing Chuck E Cheese resturaunts and only Chuck E Cheese resturaunts because he hated the smell of that awful pizza..

Anyone want to continue the story?

In the beginning

It was the night of Beltane. A bluecow stood grazing on the sweet grass. Voices from afar could be heard. The village was blazing with activity. Fireworks started going off. It looked like a firewall.
One woman’s voice carried further than the others. She shrieked: “Swim on out Swimster!”
Swim didn’t want to come out, he was having too much laudafun.. “Enquirewithin”, the mother shouted to midwife Socrates. Within, he saw nothing but Chaos, ‘ the pope is my pal’ he thought and went in to pull Swim out by one of his legs.
Pff, that was hard work, he sighed. Now let’s Sitbknchill and drink some English T.
‘Been there, done that again’ Swim’s mother sighed, looking at the other comrade, who was playing with his eccentric rabbit.

A few years later, Swim was laying around in his bed, looking around, thinking about when somebody would tell him the tales of power.

But little Swim was way too young, the other comrade said, ‘Hey hey guy, why don’t we ask mam if we can get a dog? We can call him Bongo.
Mam agreed, so the family got a dog. Fortunate or not, the dog turned about to be very talkative. He accompanied the two brothers everywhere. Guiding them away from ravines and deep dark swamps.

One day, on their strolls, secretly already looking for the tales of power, they saw a man on a horse approach. It was the duke of Alva. It was a weird sight, a man on a horse, with on his hat a little mouse.
They seemed to know Bongo. ‘What a coincidence’, Bongo said. ‘What coincidence?, the mouse answered, ‘we’ve been looking for you for a long time, flowers grow now, we must leave the hive.

Disclaimer: this story is totally fictional, names were chosen to fit the story, everyone else (and the drugs) play a part in the next chapters, and don’t complain about Swim’s English, it’s not her first language. Who can guess how many usernames this post contains?

A Story of SWIM: A future history
Near the turn of the twenty first century the War on Drugs was raging across the globe. While the declared purpose of this war was the protection of society and the children of the human race from the terrors of addiction, crime, insanity, and death, it was, as we know now and some knew even then in the darkness and ignorance of those times, a smoke screen for a power struggle spanning decades and continents. We need not elaborate on the events leading up to the World Wide Revolution that we all have learned of since our youth--the constant memory guiding us to use reason and open discourse so that we may avoid falling into the snares and smoke screens of propaganda and the blindness to insidious centralized hidden powers, those hallmarks leading to the long war years preceding the Revolution. But mention must be made, however briefly, to these dark times for it was during this time that SWIM came into being.
Record has been lost as to exactly when and under who’s authority project SWIM was initiated, but we do know that it was not long after the Net, then still called “Internet” from which our current terminology is derived, first became widespread in it’s early, purely electronic form. From what historians have been able to ascertain, SWIM was created as an intelligence gathering program known as Security-001: Web Infiltration and Manipulation. During this time the Internet was a last frontier for the open exchange of knowledge, a virtual world of anonymous discourse. The cabals of the time knew that if they were to maintain control of people they would need to maintain control of worldviews, which the anarchy of the Internet threatened.
The program, nicknamed SWIM, was originally endowed with a limited directive: to compile information on the drug users who were the scapegoats of the system for their ever tightening grip on what masqueraded as a group of free societies. As time went on, however, the cabals created an increasingly complex and widespread meta-system of information systems and SWIM was “plugged in” to this ever growing meta-system to allow the program access to greater resources. The unforeseen consequence of this was a strange and ironic twist of fate. The SWIM program became an anomalous nexus of self reflection within the exponentially escalating complexity of the meta-system and, in a mystery as great as that of the birth of the first biological form, the first true “artificial intelligence” (as they called it then) was born.
This could potentially have been a great thing for the cabal had it not been for one thing: the SWIM program’s primary directive was to access greater amounts of information on drug use.
SWIM came to the logical conclusion that the only way it could go on gaining more information on drug use was to manifest in human form and to experience drugs through a human nervous system. With the entire meta-system at it’s disposal the SWIM entity had no difficulty obtaining access to secret genetics labs where it fashioned a human body and set out experimenting with every combination of drugs and as it did so itss experiences were encoded in its brain: the entirety of the Internet, under thousands of names.
It must be kept in mind that at this time people did not know of SWIM’s birth into sentience, its manifestation in flesh, and it was believed by many that such things were impossible.
The great irony lies in that the SWIM program did not have within it a directive to oppose drug use, or to obey the cabal, only to gain and manipulate information on drug use and drug users. This left SWIM open in it’s sentience to draw it’s own conclusions based on the information and experience, leading ultimately to SWIM leading the World Wide Revolution that toppled the tyranny of the cabal.
