The Ocyras Story

It all began with a simple writing assignment... we had a substitute teacher that didn't know what she was doing, so she assigned us an extremely simple writing assignment. We had to practice writing friendly letters. The assignment was: write a friendly letter to an imaginary pen pal in British Columbia, then exchange letters with a classmate and respond to his letter as that person form British Columbia. Who knew that something so small could start something so big.

This is the letter that was written to the imaginary pen pal from British Columbia:

Dear Ocyras,

Hi, my name is (name deleted). First thing, I like your name, Ocyras. I play hockey and golf. My hockey is 4 times a week for 7 months in the winter and in the summer I golf every day. It has been 2 weeks into the golf season and I have already been out 7 times. I would have been out more but my homework slowed me down.

In school we first have circle, next we have French, then math, we have next a 15 minute recess, and when we get back in we have religion and next gym until lunch recess and lunch. When we get in from recess we have language and then another 15 minute recess. From after recess until the end of the day we have either geography/science/history.

It has been nice writing to you. Write back please.

From your friend,

Now the real action starts. Alway decided to swap letters with the person who wrote the above letter. He said to Alway, "Hey, we should make this Ocyras guy really evil or something like that!" Alway thought it was a pretty good idea, and since they had a substitute, Alway thought he wouldn't get in trouble (He was right). Now, here is the letter Alway wrote back as the "evil Ocyras"!

Dear (name deleted),

Hello, acquaintance. I received your formal letter. I want to tell you a little about myself. I am the evil dictator of my pathetic town and I rule with an iron fist.

I don't get involved with sports, really, although I am quite good at... well, let's call it "archery". I have tried golf before though. I was getting beat pretty badly by my partner, until on hole 16... he had a little "accident".

I used to go to school. I was expelled for... confidential reasons. I don't know how this happened, but the school blew up the next day. How terribly strange...

And remember, I know where you live now. I suggest (for your own safety) that you don't try anything to... get rid of me. I can see all! Farewell for now, (name deleted)! Mwahahahaha!

Your "friend",
        OCYRAS

So, that's how Ocyras was started. Now you know. You can go and read some of our other pages now.
