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 love the bit of humor that is laced throughout this story, it makes it fun to read. I particularly loved your word choice when Miley was running through the sand to get to the umbrella, with her feet sinking into the sand. I also enjoyed the very last sentence of this story, where it explains that Miley had to buy a cheap replica of Michael's jersey, because she had ruined the original. >:)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great piece of satire, elevating the first-world problem of luxury car trouble and a bit of rain to sob-worthy status, with the assistant saving the day not once but twice. I thought the MJ image was interesting,too, so cartoon-like, and I can see how you went in a more humorous direction using it as inspiration. Thanks, Ashlie!
