Alex's last mistake

"Give me the handle!" "No! How about you give me the lever!" Alex and Jake have been fighting over each other's items for an hour now. The water is rising, and the only way out is to connect the handle and the lever to open the door. "Alex, just give me the handle and I'll get us out of here." "How about you give me the lever, and I will get us out of here! I don't trust you." Jake snaps back, "Well I don't trust you! You're gonna lock me in here!" At this point the water was up to their thighs. "Alex, the water is rising. Please trust me." "Okay, fine. Just get us out of here." Alex's last mistake was giving Jake that handle.

A sinister morning

It was a spring morning, and a rather beautiful one. The wind was whistling through the trees, and the grass was bright and green. The children were all playing with their scooters and bicycles. Games of hopscotch and jumprope broke out. Elderly couples sat on benches, and power walkers were out for their morning run. With all the joy and games going on, it was easy to overlook the sinister being, hiding in plain sight. A hunter. A prowler. This predator gawked at the nearby children, aware of the threat posed by the present adults. The hunter saw everything differently. He didn't see children playing hopscotch and jumprope. He saw opportunities.

Women are selfless

If there's anything I can't stand, it's a man who treats his woman poorly. Women do so much for men! They make our food, they listen to what we have to say, they put up with our stupid shit, and tons of other things! Women deserve to be treated perfectly, and I'm not just saying this cause I'm a hopeless romantic. Even though I'm young, I can say I know how to treat women. I'm not boasting, just laying down the facts. I would never disrespect my woman, sure we have disagreements, but at the end of the day, we love each other regardless of any stupid crap that happens. I become outraged when I see men mistreating their woman, all I want is for every woman to feel honored and respected. My girlfriend means the world to me, and she gives me so much. I am disgusted at the fact that some men mistreat their girl, after all the stuff they do for them.

Traffic Outrage

That is way too many red lights. I am supposed to meet Aly in 7 minutes! Why would that person get in that accident on purpose? They know I am supposed to be meeting my girlfriend for dinner! How dare they cause all this traffic on the Southern State Parkway. Now I'm going to be late to dinner by 5 minutes! What if she doesn't understand? Is she going to break up with me because this person decided to be selfish and get in a car accident!? I cannot stand this, some people are so arrogant!

Why does everyone have to stop and look at the accident too?! It just makes this go slower! Everyone keep up the pace, why are we only going 55 mph?! They are all arrogant too. I guess I'll turn and look at the accident too, doesn't hurt, everyone is doing it. Okay I looked. Now go faster everyone!

Oh gosh I'm late now! It's 7:30 and I'm not even there yet! I am a whole 3 minutes away! This is INSANE! There are so many inconsiderate people in this world. Oh gosh there she is, I'm finally here. I am NEVER taking the Southern State again! Those people are crazy rude! They made me late to my date.

Never. Again.
