!Can you write an interesting or funny story using these song titles from the late great James Brown?
I got the feelin’ that something very bad was about to happen. There were no outward signs, but something in my gut just told me evilness was just around the corner. I’m not a superstitious person, but I’m not about to ignore my inner most feelings.





Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Peter James, and I’m a photographer for the San Diego Union Tribune. I’ve work here for thirteen years and love my job. I get to travel, work alone, and am very good at what I do. I’ve won just about every award there is and am constantly phased by my boss, who I admire and respect alot.





When I got to the office this morning I went directly to my boss, Harold Current’s office. His door was shut, which was unusual, and his assistant said he did not want to be bothered. It sounded like he was in there arguing with someone, and normally, I would have gone into his office anyways, but I can’t shake the feeling from this morning, so I continued on to my office.





The light on my answering machine was flashing. I hit the play button and listened to three messages, on the fourth, I had to rewind and listen again. Someone was ranting about taking his picture. He said and I quote “Give it up or turn it a loose” regarding the picture I took at Balboa Park. He wanted all prints and the negatives, and told me that he would be contacting me again. I must admit, he had me interested as the pictures taken at Balboa Park were just random pictures that I took several days ago. I can vaguely remember a couple trying to hide from the camera as I snapped pictures, but because many people don’t like their pictures taken I didn’t think too much of it at the time. I really wasn’t too concerned with the call as photographers receive all types of weird requests, but nonetheless, I did pick up the phone and alert security to be extra careful if someone comes looking for me.





It has been two hours since I’ve arrived at the office and I still haven’t seen my boss. I was just about to go crash his meeting, when his office door opened and out walked a woman who I’ve never seen before. She did not look happy, as she turned around and said “Get up offa that thing and come with me.” With that, she turns around and stomped out of the area and Harold was right behind her like a little puppy with his tail tucked between his legs.





I quickly ducked back into my office but I could hear the footsteps rapidly approaching. For the briefest moment, I considered crawling under my desk, but just as I was going to do so, the door flew open so hard, that I bet the doorknob left a hole in the wall.





“Morning Peter” said Harold, “Let me introduce you to Lisa Pisano, our new General Manager. “Hello Peter” said Lisa as she extended her hand. “Let’s get right to the heart of things, I have been hired to do whatever it takes to get more people reading the paper. I am going to make some changes so that it isn’t as stuffy as it has been. I’m going to make it funky, get the younger generation interested in reading it. There will be changes throughout the paper and one of the changes is that Harold will no longer work here.





I quickly looked at Harold who rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders. I was beginning to break out in a cold sweat wondering if my world too was about to crumble. I certainly didn’t want to work for this woman as she had no tact or people skills. They both left my office and I decided to see what all the fuss was about with the Balboa Park film, so I went into my dark room and developed it.





Something caught my eye in two of the pictures. I enlarged the two photos and sure enough, there in an embrace stood Lisa Pisano and the very married Mayor Marco Santos. He was kissing her and his hand was under her skirt. I don’t think it was just a casual visit. I couldn’t help myself as I started laughing like a crazy person. I made several copies of the pictures and when they were fully dried, I addressed one set to Mrs. Santos and had it overnight expressed to her. I figure she would help me get rid of my problem.





When I arrived at work the next day, I was feeling wonderful. I noticed that Harold’s car was in his parking place. I felt happy and started singing - It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World, as I made my way to Harold’s office to see how he was doing. I really love my job!!!

"But baby.....(1) I got the feelin'. Please.....just one more time," begged Marshal Matt Dillon to his new girlfriend, Miss Sunshine MacGuillicutty.


"Okay, you wild stud, but (4) Make it funky," gasped Sunshine, not yet fully recovered from their last encounter. She wiped the (5) cold sweat from her brow as she braced herself for yet another foray into the world of ecstasy. Within seconds she was all over him like ugly on an ape!


Matt: " Sunshine, be careful sweetie....(3) Get up offa that thing."


Yes.....another night of monkey sex was well underway for the U.S.Marshal and his wanton woman!!





The next morning found the two of them nursing their "love wounds." Matt was applying a cold compress to Sunshine's


left elbow and Sunshine was holding a raw piece of beef to Matt's left eye....which was swollen and quite blackened. They laughed as they realized how absurd it all was. Matt:" You know, I used to think (6) it's a man's world, but I've changed my tune since you galloped into my life, my 'sweet filly from Virginny.' The world ....this big,beautiful world...... belongs to....... lovers. Sunshine smiled, even as her elbow throbbed with pain. "Speaking of tune, I've written you a new song, Mattie." He smiled and said...."Ohhhhh, sing it to me,baby." (To the tune of "I'm A Believer.")





♫ " I thought love was only true in fairy tales. Meant for all those girls with long blond hair. But then I came to Dodge City. (Dip dip dip dip...Matt was singing background!) To me it was like heaven. (Dip dip dip dip) I met a man who stands about 6 foot seven.......and then I saw his face.....it was a face I adore. I used to be so modest.....now I'm a sex goddess.....yeah I'm in love.♫" Matt beamed as he pulled her into his arms. Sunshine giggled.....(2) Give it up or turn it a loose.," she said.


Matt: ♫" Never My Love."♫
