Liquidation


Liquidation


Bagging groceries for hours can seem like a grueling task! Just imagine bagging groceries for six hours straight, how insane is that! Oh dear... Item after item, I just couldn't keep up, I couldn't take it, it was driving me insane in the membrane, so I had no choice but to go over and shop at Ralphs. This was no ordinary Ralphs, it was a unique Ralphs. Everyone that I knew who that I never really knew their name but was their friend worked there and they didn't wear name tags so it was the hardest thing for me to see who they really are. Things finally picked up as over the intercom they started to play POLYSICS, so the entire store became an FSU fest as we were dancing really insanely to the finest of J-POP.

After shopping, I went over to my friend's house who just recently moved into an apartment and I was helping her unpack her things and organize everything. As she was cleaning her Mouse Trap board, she looked up at me and said, "Hey put on some tunes!" As happy as I was, I put on one of my favorite songs which was only on one disc. "If you want to come on down, with your bones so white..." With the song playing, everything seem so perfect for me knowing that after a long day of work my friends were cheering me up as always. I stared out the window and I watched the freight trains pound, into the wild, wild night... very romantic. Until... she opened the CD player and tossed it out the window and said, "This music is SH*T Jon-o! How could you put on such ruckus in my house! And if you want to come on down? Sounds like bullsh*t to me. How would it feel if I gnaw on your bone, good wouldn't it?" Not knowing what to do, I got excited, again, because she had Justified, so I put it on only to find it wasn't Justin Timberlake... "Yeah! Justing Rimbermake, this music is so good!" Letting out a big sigh, I left the house to go to my next destination.

I ran into members of my family on the street as I was running in fright from what just happened at my friend's apartment. Being told that we were going to Pick Up Stix, I became content to eat with people from church, I felt a little bit relieved. Looking over, I saw P.F. Changs next to me and I quoted Towelie, "How spicy would you like your Chang sauce?" My brother just looked over at me and said, "What are you saying? How dare you say something like that, so inappropriate." We finally made it to Pick Up Stix after walking through various alleyways and I saw a bunch of families group together and our group was so big that they had to move us to the parking lot, which really wasn't that fun because the ground really smelt like asphalt. Over our heads, there were various helicopters looking for something and it was really distracting me because they kept flying lower and lower knocking over our food, but no one seem to care. I couldn't help but think they were suspicious of me because I had a box cutter in my pocket. Being safe, I took it out and hid it in a large pile of sand which (hehehe) was conveniently next to me. Instantly, a spotlight shined on me, oh dear, it was the box cutter!

"With your hands up, please put your hands on the chopper and don't move!" said the helicopter pilot who was at least 50 feet in the sky. Not understanding what was going on, the kind man shot his gun at me and it bounced off of my chest. Looking up, I said it what it seem to be, Portuguese, "You won't like it when I am hungry." The pilot looked over at his co-pilot and they both nodded at each other. In a heartbeat, things started to look like a Micheal Bay film as I started to turn green and everything began to explode. I clapped my hands, said yeah, and jumped really high into the sky as I appeared to be fifty feet taller. The world seem like a seamless dream of lead as I could see everything for miles. There were carnivals everywhere around me and they all seem to be falling apart as if it was supposed to be my fault destroying everything and I said, "Hey that's not my fault!" Clapping my hands again, I flew over the buildings and attempted to escape the men trying to feed me McDonalds in the helicopter. It was a glorious sight as I could see parts of Europe in the distance and futuristic towns but there was an invisible wall blocking me.

Jumping for what seem to be only about 30 seconds, I saw a girl down below on the ground, "Hey, come hide in here!" Instantly, I became normal Jon-o again and I followed her inside this building which looked like a fishing dock you would find in Maine (a beautiful state). "Over here!" she said as I followed her in the building, "Hide in here, this is the expansion pack area." Expansion pack? That didn't make sense to me, opening the door, I went inside only to find another whole which I really didn't notice that would fit when I was outside. Everything seem to be empty and I went around and notice that it still really seem like this would work. I went behind the opposite side of the house that I left into this new world and looked down this valley to see a statue. Climbing down to see what it was I notice that it was the Prince and his Katamari. Behind me came the girl who helped me escape, "We lost a lot of good men that day, including the Prince." I nod my head and looked over at her, "Where are we?" She looked up and said, "The real world, the Prince destroyed it, so we had to build a new one." "I must go." I said, and I did.

Leaving the real world, I went back to the Ralphs which I originally was shopping at. For Reasons Unknown was playing this time, and I thought, wow what a day. Right in the parking lot, a co-worker came up to me smiling and said, "Hey buddy how is it going?" I looked over at the co-worker, "It's been a long day." What surprised me was that he was texting a friend of mine and I said, "Who are you messaging there?" A synth started to play from his car as the song changed from the CD player, "Don't worry about it." I looked at the phone what my co-worker was writing and it said... Liquidation.
