Charles and Bessie Lou

Charles and Bessie Lou
Originally uploaded by devastationstudios.

Charles and his dog Bessie Lou are two real inspirational stories. Charles was born in a Japanese internment camp in 1943. It was there that he met Bessie Lou who taught him the ways of the samurai. Fortunately, these samurai skills allowed Charles to fight his way through numerous guards, and cut a hole in the barbed wire fence to escape through. However, there was one ultimate guard that remained.

The ultimate guard featured 2 inch thick body armor, a helmet reminiscent of "Shredder" of Ninja Turtles fame, a long red cape, and huge cowboy boots. The ultimate guard revealed his tomahawks that he juggled in a display of arrogance and skill. Charles was taken aback, and he dropped his trusty sword. Seeing that Charles was unable to defend himself, the ultimate guard threw his tomahawks. Just as the tomahawks were about to collide with Charles, Bessie Lou jumped between them and him, and used her telekinetic powers to turn the tables, throwing the tomahawks back at the guard. Once the tomahawks collided with the guard, he immediately exploded.

Able to escape, Charles and Bessie Lou made their way out of the camp, and proceeded to write the book Farewell to Manzanar.
