A Bio of Contradictions

  Creative Writing: Contradictory #03022025 “Intentional Contradictions”

I’m Jack Thompson, master mechanic with 25 years of experience, though I only opened my shop last month. I specialize exclusively in European luxury vehicles, but my customers know me as the go-to guy for fixing 1970s American muscle cars.
   After graduating top of my class from MIT’s mechanical engineering program (which I attended night school), I spent 15 years as a hermit in the Alaskan wilderness fixing snowmobiles with nothing but a rusty wrench and my intuition.
   My garage, “Premium Discount Auto,” offers the highest quality repairs at rock-bottom prices that somehow keep me in business despite charging half what parts actually cost. I work completely alone because I can’t stand people, yet my customers constantly rave about my friendly service and people skills.
   I’ve never used a computer or smartphone in my life (technology is ruining society), yet I maintain a thriving social media presence with 500k followers who love my detailed repair videos.
   My specialty is finishing jobs in record time while also taking twice as long as other mechanics to ensure perfect quality. I guarantee all my work for life, but please don’t come back with any complaints.
   Remember: If you need a mechanic who’s both young and old, experienced and fresh, cheap and premium, Jack Thompson is your contradiction in coveralls.
