Wait, who's that? Oh, look! A student! Look at how small he looks compared to my tank. Shouldn't he be in school?
Student: I won't let you pass!
Tank Driver: OUT OF MY WAY, PUNK!
He needs to be spanked. Why won't he let me through?!
Move damn-it!
Student: NO! *waves bags defiantly*
Tank Driver: Move or I'll beat your ass!
Student: What'd you say? *starts climbing on tank*
Tank Driver: Oh f*ck! He's gonna thunk me! Oh my god! I knew it! I should've followed my dream and become a gangster rapper! What do I doo?? *Looks around* Oh! How convenient! An instruction manual! *Quickly grabs* OW! PAPER CUT! *Starts reading...*
**mumble** middle of the street **mumble** eyes open **mumble** WHAT THE HELL! These are instructions on how to be a student protestor! Oh, wait. I know. =)
*Opens up laptop and starts to type on fmylife.com
~ So I was heading toward the student protest at Tiananmen Square when I ran into some trouble. This guy was standing in my way! I read an instruction manual I found, hoping to find a way to deal with this problem. The manual was titled How to Be A Protestor. I'm a soldier. FML.

I think this is your best writing yet! Great job, Chin... I get a little confused at the end, though... maybe you need a few more sentences to clarify the absurdist transition.
