The END For @Huckleberry_Hoo

Funeral of Your Dreams: https://www.theprose.com/post/772026/the-twain-funeral-for-me-please-lil-bit

Funeral Package: The Classic

My dear, Huck. The “Twain” funeral is quite grand, but you, sir, are too unique for a premade package. Let’s use The Twain as a starting point and create something extra special, just for you, shall we?

The Twain comes with a real movie based on your life. My Master Filmmaker, Stanley, will use real home movies and photos of your life mixed with his own genius vision to create an unforgettable full length feature for your attendees. Mind you, this is no slideshow set to a sad Sarah McLachlan song. Oh no… this is a film that will be nominated for an Oscar because of its legendary story and unique style. And who could deny throwing even more wins at our beloved Huck? No one—that’s who. Huck isn’t just some big fish in a small pond. No, sir! The winningest writer I’ve ever seen on Prose is a big fish in the big ocean. Mr. Hoo is man of such caliber that he inspires masterworks from artists all over the world. The film of your life, premiering at your funeral, will be no different.

Your film will combine all of your greatest literary works with the sounds of the Carpenters, Waylon Jennings, and more into a story that will leave everyone in tears from both heartbreak and laughter. The end of the film will focus on that one that got away, all those years ago: the prettiest girl in school, Meg Bell.

“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli will play as the audience sees boy Huck pining over his first love. They are all taken back to a time when they had their own puppy love. As the crowd is focused on the final scene of the movie (a tracking-shot of the time you walked all the way to school just to break the windows), no one will even notice the 12 year old boy who has casually strolled into the large theater behind them.

The boy actor on screen delivers a heart wrenching performance of a young man so desperate to be noticed by the one girl he wants most, set to the song “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” by The Righteous Brothers. Just as Huck is about to throw that 8th rock into the school window, he falls to his knees, crying and screaming at the world as the song hits its climax…

“Baby (baby)

Baby! (Baby!)

I beg you please!

(Please!)

Please!

(Please!)

I need your love (need your love!)

I need your love (I need your love!)

So bring it on back (so bring it on back!)

Bring it on back (bring it on back)…”

On screen, we see the back of little Huck as he slowly stands, the song fades to echoing silence as he turns around to face the camera (breaking the fourth wall). Tears are streaming down his face, and with all his anger and might, he throws that last rock right it at the audience! It breaks through the screen and soars over the heads of every friend, family member, and fan… right into the hand of this mystery 12 year old little boy in the theater! The actor on screen resembles Huck, but this young man… oh my… he is Huck!

The whole audience gasps in horror and astonishment as the real 12 year old Huck smiles, cueing “Come And Get Your Love”. Young Huck tosses the rock over his shoulder and it disappears into thin air. He begins to make his way down the aisle as the funky sounds of Redbone make him start dancing, young and free as he is! This is no mirrored illusion of Michael Jackson taking the stage after his death—no, sir! This is Huckleberry Hoo himself in Living Light, the award winning holographic technology created by my team of Light of Life scientists. It uses billions of pixels per squire inch, thousands of mini ultrasound speakers that produce the sound waves to suspend tiny particles that move faster than the human eye can see. Finally, a real 3D hologram made of “solid light,” all for the legendary Huckleberry Hoo!

Perfectly proportioned from any angle, your Living Light Body not only looks like the real you, it can speak and respond, just as you would! And as you make your way up to people of choice, they will shriek when they feel you touching them! Then, as if you’re spreading a virus that’s good for the soul, you pull people to their feet to start dancing with you. No one can help themselves as they, too, start snapping their fingers and swaying their hips!

The music of all your favorite artists will fill the massive theater. Sam Cooke, Elvis, Lynyrd Skynyrd—all in attendance for your party! Hundreds of people will dance their hearts out to the soundtrack of your life. With overwhelming joy, the whole theater will be in tears as they watch you slowly age, having the time of your life. Then, as one final song plays, we will watch you climb into a fine oak coffin, giving your best Miss America wave, and disappear as you close your own casket. A cherished moment to remember you for the goober we all loved. Our collective energy of this magical moment will send you off to the likes of “Soul Heaven” to join the rest of the legends. This will really be the Funeral of your Dreams, Huck!

I know, I know… a little more extravagant than the basic “Twain” package, but could you blame me? And you better believe that I’m going to attend, personally. Like a kid waiting for their favorite band’s album to drop, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Because you, Huckleberry Hoo, are Classic: a solid gold record to be treasured throughout time…

And never, ever forgotten.

Thank you for choosing The END!

Love,

E <3
