Friends Worth Dying For

Blue da ba dee da ba die. As his ringtone rang through the room, Jason audibly sighs and reaches to silence it. After dressed and ready for the day, he heads downstairs noticing that it's uncomfortably silent in the flat that he shares with his two friends. Not looking too far into the absence of his obnoxious friends, Jason begins to fill a bowl with cereal and decides to enjoy the quiet while it lasts.

Burnt orange fills his senses while entering his works headquarters. Jason is always disgusted by the way the building smells, but not much can be done. Jason works for furniture manufacturing company and the smell comes from the granite station. The combination of the chemicals used to make the natural seeming object releases the distinct smell of burnt oranges. Dragging through work, break, work, lunch, and work one last time, he finally sets off towards home, 8 hours later. Once home, Jason is again faced with silence. Knowing that Gregg and Marshall are always home before him, the slightest bit of panic settles into Jason's chest while he begins to investigate. Heading to the right and through Marshall's doorway, Jason sees something that horrifies him.

Red. Blood red. It stains the wall, the pillows, and finally the window. Running To Greg's room, Jason sees a similar setting. His first thought is to call the police and to let them take over, but Jason doesn't necessarily stand on great terms with the men in blue. Also, he has an amount of illegal substances hidden throughout the apartment for financial security purposes. Jason decides to play detective. "Think! Think think think!" He rummages through every corner of his brain, wanting to come up with a suspect. One that would take his friends and not him. One that wouldn't go through the trouble of robbing him even the slightest bit. His mind goes blank, while his heart continues to raise. Harold. "Harold!" Finally something! Harold is a friend to Greg and Marshall, on illegal terms. Jason never got involved with the guy because he knew the would be trouble in the future. Oh how he was so right.

Black fills the area of the large condo. Jason arrived on the outskirts of the city, and saw that Harold's door was ajar and no one or cars surrounded the place. Squeaking while pushed open, Jason see's nothing. Reaching to the right and flicking the light switch on-"SURPRISE!" Standing frozen in the company of all his friends, and Harold, Jason remembers that today, was the day of his 24th birthday.

Odd Future

I honestly can't explain where I see myself in 5 years, because I have no idea. I plan on a more year-ish basis. So, in a year, I see myself soaking up some sun on the beaches of California, where I will be residing. If everything goes well, I will be moving there after graduation with my mom and dad, and will begin working a part time job, while being in an internship program. And after a year of that, then I will go to college there, that way I can get in state tuition. In ten years, to put it as vaguely as possible, I plan on either getting married, or in a relationship with the man I will eventually marry. That's all I really seem to know right know regarding as goals I have for my near and distant future.

Color time

1) Purple: reminds me of Zayn Malik. Makes me think of Mountains. Reminds me of the ADTR concert last year. Makes me feel gloomy but content. If it was music it would be any of Drakes songs.

 2) Black: Makes me think of Kanye West (Yeezus). Reminds me of outer space. Takes me back to The 1975 concert I attended. A feeling or being hardcore. Ties in with the series, American Horror Story.

 3) Silly Old Bear- Living in a magical forest full of imagination and talking animals. In the cove, by the river, lives Berry the Silly Old Bear. Berry is a large, kind, ditsy, Grizzly Bear. He has many friends, but his best friend is a small gecko named Memphis. Memphis is married with three children and lives in the tree by Berry's home.

Object of Inspiration

When this work of art resembling the magical Michael Jordan appeared to me on the 101 things that made America list. I couldn't help but relate back to Miley Cyrus. In the intriguing music video for the song 23 by Mike WiLL Made-It ft. Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa, and Juicy J, she is seen sporting this very same jersey.

So I guess I'll make up a short story about Miley obtaining this shirt.

3:53pm, Miley is wakes up, rolls out of bed and gets in the shower, trying to erase last night’s mistakes. While listening to her own album, she applies make up and gets dressed in her sick leotard for the evening. Miley begins to head over to her good friend, Wiz Khalifa’s house to hang out and watch some Netflix with their friends. Once there, Miley is pleasantly surprised to see the one and only, Michael Jordan. After talking and getting to know each other well, Miley asks Mr. Jordan if she could have one of his Bulls jerseys for the music video they will be shooting tomorrow. Michael, being slightly skeptical to his new friend, gives in and gives her the famous shirt. Overjoyed, Miley decides to head straight home, to hang up the shirt in a safe place. But on the drive home, Miley’s luxury car, breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Calling for help, she’s forced to wait on the side of the road. Suddenly, with a burst of lightning and crackle of thunder, a storm breaks out over California. Rushing to get back in the car and keep the jersey from getting wet, Miley realizes the keys are sitting in her driver’s seat, behind the locked doors. Exasperated, Miley looks around for shelter and sees an abandoned umbrella on the nearby beach. Running in the sand to get to the little bit of shelter she desires, Miley sinks into the sand, and face plants with the jersey in hand, now wet with a large amount of sand sticking to it. Miley gives up, and crawls until she reaches the umbrella. Where she begins to weep until her assistant shows up and drives her home. Once home, Miley is distraught over her condition and the jerseys. She promised Michael that nothing would happen to it! Unsure on what else to do, she enters it into the washing machine with fingers crossed.

The next day Miley reaches in to the washing machine, to see that the shirts color has faded, noticeably. Screaming in horror, Miley panics and leans on her assistant again to fix the situation. By the time she gets to the video shoot, Miley wears a smile on her face, and a knock off 23 Bulls jersey on her back.

The End.

I am.
