Six Words: Cello, Diver, Chisel, Pain, Character, Trapped
This is a tale of tragedy, of heroism and of absurdity. It’s the kind of thing that is so absurd it’s hard to believe it could ever happen at all. And yet, there have been things like the ice bucket challenge, the Tide Pod challenge, and who knows what else. So might we have predicted the cellophane challenge?
What you say, is the cellophane challenge. It is when a group of young people wrap someone in cellophane and see if they can get out. That person is trapped. And you know how strong a single layer of cellophane can be. Just think about unwrapping almost anything that has been shrink wrapped, or how you’ve turned over a bowl that you’d covered in cellophane.
Depending on how they’re wrapped, the poor young character may have trouble breathing. Unless one of their friends is a scuba diver, no one may realize that they’re not able to breathe and are in pain. The wrappee may panic. By now it’s time for someone to grab a scissors, or even a chisel, to break through the cellophane. So now we have someone panicky, in pain, immobilized and who sees their friends coming at them with a sharp object.
By now I know you’re thinking what every young person would be thinking. Who’s recording this and how soon can we put it on Tik Tok?
