I'm off shift!

Summary:

This short story was a homework task I recieved for A-Level. This was the aim: Tell a light-hearted or comic story through a sequence of emails sent between two people who adopt very different levels of politeness. There must be a clear sense of narrative development, but you do not have to bring your story to a conclusion.

Notes:

This is my very first attempt at any sort of creative writing, and I think it's something I want to get into. Please help me improve my writing with comments!

Medic Ratchet, I require your advice on a certain matter. Please could you advise how I should approach a minor injury with an over-reacting Cybertronian.

[email protected] to [email protected]
Perceptor…
We have talked about this, don’t bother me when I am off-shift!!

[email protected] to [email protected]
But Medic Ratchet, sir,
he refuses to leave the medical bay without treatment. He is growing increasingly impatient and has started to become mildly aggressive – this is a danger to the other Cybertronians in your medical bay.

[email protected] to [email protected]
Percy, I don’t care. Tell him to frag off.
I’m gonna recharge now

[email protected] to [email protected]
But, Sir! He insists he is not leaving medical bay. He is now specifically asking for your presence.

[email protected] to [email protected]

[email protected] to [email protected]
Sir? This is now an urgent matter, his temper is escalating. I would sincerely appreciate some competent advice from a medic of your calibre.

[email protected] to [email protected]
Perceptor, just treat the poor mech! Get him OUT of My medbay before he breaks our supplies.

[email protected] to [email protected]
Sir, he is not worth the resources. We are in a war, Sir – our resources are limited and not easily procurable to waste on such a minor scrape.

[email protected] to [email protected]
If you refuse to treat mechs, you shouldn’t be a medic, Percy
I know you’re training kiddo, but you MUST put the needs of our mechs before your concerns! Treat the fragger, tell him I am not WASTING my off-shift time on a overdramatising mech!

[email protected] to [email protected]
Medic Ratchet,
Very well, Sir I shall do as you say. Thank you for this advice, I appreciate your time, Sir.
I shall see you next shift.

[email protected] to [email protected]
I sure hope not…
