Hey y'alls, it's troublenc with a story of how it feels to be a soap bubble.
I sit in a box with all of my friends and family scrunched up around me. This
life is great. This is the only life I've ever known.All of a sudden this dark-haired lady with
piercing green eyes picks up my
house and reads the back where the description is. She slams it back down and
goes to the next. I'm glad she didn't pick us.
The next lady looks much sweeter, with brown highlighted hair and greenish-blue
eyes. I think to myself, "Pick me! Pick me!"
She decides we're right for her and we get carelessly thrown into a cart with
other things. My Grandmother points out all of the things visible and explains
what they are. She's
the oldest of our group.
I see quite a few new things. Toothpaste? Kleenex? And some Coca-Cola? What are those things,
anyway?
I wonder about them until we
suddenly stop at a register. We get swiped through a red beam of light with an
absolutely horrifying "BEEP!" noise, and get tossed into a bag with some other
items I've never seen.
I fall asleep on the vibrating trip home, and when I wake up, all of my family and
friends, my whole life is being dumped into a tub full of something Grandmother
says is called 'water'.
All of a sudden I start foaming up and getting bigger and feel a little
bloated! As I start to float upwards to meet my destiny, I think, being a bubble
is the best life ever!!
Before you know it, before I even realize my time has passed, I'm popped.
Now I'm sitting in another
box, waiting for another joyride. That last one was the most fun YET.
OooOhhh, this lady looks nice....
Yours Truly,
troublenc
