There is cake sitting right here, alas

But you cannot have your cake

And eat it too

Dragon Stole My Life

Ever have something taken from you in a blink of an eye? I'm saying literally in a blink of an eye. That quick second you take to blink and POOF it's gone. Yeah, that happened to me today. My life was taken away from me; Dragon stole my life. I was in the park, enjoying the nice summer breeze, trying to clear my mind about my grandfather throwing away my brand new Phillies jersey. I came to a bench and decided to take a seat because I had been walking for almost 15 minutes and my legs began cramping up. I had my music blasting Future's new album, DS2. Listening to my favorite song, Rich $ex, I felt my earbuds being snatched out of my ears and my phone being taken out of my hand. 

Immediately, I start scrambling for my phone looking for it. I’m checking my pockets, underneath the bench, and on the sides of the bench. My phone is nowhere to be found. I begin to panic and throw my hands on my head and lift my head up to the sky, somehow trying to converse with God and ask him “Is this really happening?” As I have my head up to the sky, I have my eyes close but then I open them because something was blocking the beaming rays of the sun. Dragon was hovering over me, snickering, because she stole my phone.

There was nothing I could do to get my phone. I can’t fly, and I know she isn’t going to give it back. She’s selfish like that. So what am I to do? This sucks. Everything is on my phone; pictures, music, cute text messages from my boyfriend, and all my contacts. That’s basically my whole life. Now I have to start over. I have to start over from scratch. It’s going to be so hard trying to get everything back to how they used to be. I wish my life wasn’t so rudely interrupted. 

Just want my phone back.

The Devastating Encounter of Mikey Barber and Spongebob

On a Tuesday night, Barbie was making dinner for her boyfriend. She made his favorite dish and sides, lasagna, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, and green beans. Her boyfriend was just getting off of work so she had thirty minutes to finalize everything. She realized she forgot the candles so she had to run out to the dollar store before he came home. She began driving down her street, and came to a three way stop sign. At the stop sign, she saw her two long friends, Mikey Barber and Spongebob. Barbie has 20/20 vision and could see it was a standoff between the two. Mikey Barber had a nefarious look on his face while Spongebob looked cheerful. After 2 minutes of just rubbing their engines, Mikey Barber finally sped off and passed Spongebob. Spongebob sped off in the opposite direction but turned his wheel so swiftly and was driving towards Mikey Barber. He saw spongebob in his rearview mirror coming up on him. Mikey Barber slammed on brakes and Spongebob hit Mikey Barber head on in the back of him, and in turn he flipped his blue Honda Civic. His car flipped two times in the air, fell on the drivers' side and turned over on the roof of the car. Mikey Barbers' car was just a little damaged in the back, the trunk was caved in but the car didn't suffer anymore damages.  Barbie was in shock and could not move for at least forty seconds, she then immediately ran over to Mikey Barber to make sure he was okay and then ran full track speed to Spongebob. Mikey Barber only suffered a busted lip while Spongebob was suffering from several brain contusions, a broken neck, leg and arm . He did not know who he was, what the day was, and how old he was. Barbie called 911 and the ambulance came for both of the boys. She never made it to the dollar store. She was so shaken and she just went home and found her boyfriend waiting for her. All she could do was cry in his arms because of the horrific accident she just witnessed.
