The Moon



Tiger wakes up in the morning takes a shower and goes to school, he never listens to his teachers, he don't care what they have to say, he walks from class to class with his ear buds in and his eyes staring at the floor, if he ever has a chance to leave class early or even skip he does. During lunch he doesn't socialize or even eat, he goes to the orchestra rooms and plays the piano. Lunch is the only time he has to play through out the day. When he gets home he gets something to eat, when his mom comes in and tells him how disappointed she is at him and that he wont get tinto college with the grades he has, she tells him he's lazy and that she is sick of telling him the same thing over and over again, i told her agree. They fight and it soon turn into a screaming match. He tell's her how all she does is work that she has never had anytime to be a mom, and that all she ever talks about is how disappointed she is, or needs him to do work. He tells her he hates her and can't stand her and storms out slamming the door, He goes to work does his job to barely the minimum, if there is ever a time to slack off he does. Occasionally his boss will yell at him and tell him what he needs to do, but all he does is nod his head and say okay. After work he drives home blasting music and speeding down the roads when he sees red and blue lights blaring behind him. This is th third time Tiger has been pulled over, after he promised his mom he wouldn't let it happen again. When he gets home he doesn't bother to walk inside his house, instead he walks around the backyard and lies on the grass. He stared at the stars and saw the moon. He gazed at the moon for such a long time it started to look like a face, a face he thought looked like the moon. He asked the moon what it was, it told him it was 42% oxygen 21% silicone 13% iron 8% calcium 7% aluminum 6% magnesium 3% other elements and that it reflected the UV ray's from the sun on to the Earth to light the dark. After that the moon asked Tiger what he was, he told the moon that he didn't know. Then the moon told him that it did. It told him that he was 42% self absorbed 21% inconsiderate 13% irrational  8% stupid  7% lazy 6% stubborn 2% blood,organs, and bones 1% talents unused and undeveloped.  Tiger told the moon to screw off and that it didn't know who he was. The moon proceeded to tell him that it saw everything, the past, the present, the future and that it saw Tiger's future and what was in store for him, it then asked if he wanted to see. Tiger said sure. The moon told him to close his eyes, then open them again. As he opened his eyes he saw what the moon had seen. He saw his grades dropping, he saw colleges rejecting him, he saw family and friends hating him, he saw his boss firing him, he saw lonely nights, and lonely days, he saw chances missed and chances gone,  he saw sadness and depression, he saw the end of his life, he saw family and friends at his funeral in remorse, not in his death but in a life spent and wasted. As Tiger  felt the emotions seep through his eyes he closed them. When he opened his eyes he saw a bright flash of light, he lifted his arm over his eyes and felt the warm ray's of the sun on his arm. As his eyes adjusted he got up and walked inside and gave his mom a big ole hug. THE END. And that's the story of someone else.

  1. Holy Sh*t that was truly unreal. you do a better job at telling life than most people in this class do including myself. you tell it the way it needs to be told. no extra drama. or don't judge me comments. you say this is how it goes and you say it in a sane way that fills me with comfort. well done truly an amazing post.
