Fired. (POST ON EXAM)

"Youre Fired!!" Bobs boss yelled. Bob looked at the floor, thousands of thoughts running through his head. But the number one that froze him was how in the world was he going to tell his wife?! So as he walked out of his now-former boss's office he started to plan. Losing the job wasn't much of a shocker. He noticed his performance had decreased and that his office behavior had become a little rude and obnoxious at times. Like the time he pulled a prank on his boss about spilling coffee. But since he got fired from his last two jobs he was wondering how his wife was gonna take it. She's unemployed, but by choice.There wasn't a need for a second income because his salary was a little over $90,000 and with two kids is was manageable without struggle. As Bob gathered his things from his cubicle his friend John came up to him. "What are you doing man? They let you go?!" He asked. "Yeah man i got canned. He complained about my performance and behavior and suggested that it would be a good idea for me and the company to 'part ways'" Bob explained."Im just worried about how Julia is going to take the news. I'm trying to show her that i can get my shit together but being fired three jobs in a row doesn't really help much, ya know?" He continued. "Well man you know you always got a place on my couch!" John said jokingly as he walked away. "Yea Thanks 'friend'" Bob muttered as he packed everything up. After saying his final goodbyes Bob headed to his car. Now he had to find a way to tell Julia. As he was driving his 30 minute commute home he started thinking about the whole scenario. All he could hear were his boss's words "Your Fired!" in his head. It all started to eat at him. After a couple of minutes he found himself pissed off and when he gets mad he drives fast. As he was approaching a yellow light he noticed it turn yellow and he tried to speed up to catch it.  As he was approaching the intersection he didn't notice that the light turned red. As he was passing through it a van slammed into the driver side door, sending his car into the air. His car landed upside down. As soon as he landed he lost conscience. As he wakes up he hears beeping and sees lights. Julia was at his side. As he came to light he explained the situation. She understood and helped him find a new job

Monster

"HAHA!Why do you look like a grape?!" All the monsters scream at Danny. See every monster was either gray or blue, but Danny was Green. Like a grape. Ever since Dan was a little kid all the monsters would bully him about his short height, or his abnormal color, or even his deformed ankle that's turned sideways that made him slower then all the other kids his age. "Stop picking on me guys!" Danny yelled then ran home. When he got home he walked through the front door and tried to run straight to his room but his mom stopped and yelled for him to come to the kitchen. "What mom?" he asked rudely. "Woah, excuse me? I just wanted to see how your day was sweetie." She explained. "It sucked mom. It just sucked." He complained. "Why?" she asked. So he started to explain "Well mom, all these other kids are picking on me every single day at school on the play ground because of my color and because of my height. Now they pick on me and call me 'Limpy" because of my ankle and it makes me so mad and sad!". "Oh thats horrible baby! Im going right up to that school in the mourning and were going to pull every  single student that ever said anything bad about you into the principles office and get them taken care of!" She told him. After there talk they sat down and ate dinner that his mother made.

After dinner he went into his room and sat on the bed. Feeling sad and vulnerable he started to write in his journal that he keeps. After finishing his writing he went to sleep. When he went to school the next morning all the bullies were in the office. The principle said that since there was no adult around or teacher then it could be "False Accusation". So the kids got off easy. Dannys mother was outraged. She was furious.But there was nothing she could do about it so she told Danny to simply try to ignore all the kids and stay away from them. When Danny got to recess though all the kids followed him and circled around him. "Snitch!" "Tattletell!" all sorts of names were being called to him. Danny suddenly felt helpless and mad so he picked up a log and swung it at every other monsters head. All the kids fell down. After that he threw the stick and ran home. When he got home he told his mother and she called the police. The police came and called the school. They gathered all the kids together and had a nice conversation about friendships and how bullying is bad. After that day they all became friends.

Cafe

So a couple of days ago me and my friend Alex were hanging out at my house, just chilling like usual. But something was different, I could tell by his vibe. He had been acting distant and shallow since the day before so I asked him "Yo man what's up with you? Seems like something's on your mind. You good Bo?" "I'm good" he answered immediately, like it was an automated answer. "You sure ?" I asked. He turned and looked at me "I said I'm fine dude!" He lightly snapped. "Alright bro if you say so, I've known you for almost 16 years and you only act like this when your trippin about something" I stated. So we just kept watching tv and making small talk like usual. Then I suddenly remembered the game was on and turned it to espn really quick. Duke vs UNC. Duke was up like always as they went into half time. Then during the halftime show he turned to me mad quick and said "Alright dude I gotta tell you something!" "See told you something was bothering you" I told him. "Alright shut up and just listen. So about 12 years ago, when we were 6, remember when we stole that candy?" "Yeah?" "Well anyways I never get in trouble. The reading your whooping was so bad was because I told my mom that it was all your fault. And when my nephew got caught stealing a lollipop the other day it reminded me of it and it's bothering me that I never fessed up" he said. "Really dude really?" I asked with a blank stare. "yeah man sorry" he said. "Haha dude we were 6! I barely remember that ass whooping! But it's okay man, don't sweat it. No biggie." I told him. Then we went back to watching Duke destroy UNC in Men's Basketball

Proposal (POST ON EXAM)

As he was about to say the words"Will you marry me?" two Marines walked through the double doors, went straight up to him and said "Excuse me Major Ray, were here to escort you back to base. We have direct orders to do so immediately. There is a crisis threatening national security right now and we have to leave sir." "Im sorry gentlemen but im in the middle of something, can this wait a couple more minutes?" Major Ray asked. "No sir, we have to leave now, we can not waste any more time. Lets go." One of the men said as they both grabbed him by one arm and escorted him out of the restaurant, leaving his girlfriend there speechless.

When they arrived at the Marine base they escorted Major Ray into a secret room, past 7 levels of security. This room had no windows, no recorders , and no double mirrors. Just one single light bulb hanging from the middle. When they arrived at the door there were guards. The guards frisked him and said "Clear". When they entered the room there were 5 guards and the President of the United States. "Present Arms" ordered on guard. All the men saluted. "Order arms" the same man commanded. "Hello Major" The president said. "Mr. President, pleasure to meet you sir" Major Ray said as he shook his hand. " Please have a seat" President said. The two men sat and started to talk. The president began to explain the crisis; Japan and Mexico became allies and have set up naval fleets that are headed straight for the California border. There plan was to invade from the west and slowly take over. There were over 500 warships on the way all in one tight fleet. "Major Ray, we need your experience. No one else has more war time under there belt but you.Will you accept the job?" The president asked. "Yes sir." Major Ray said.

"So how do you suggest that we stop this?"President asked. Major Ray sat and thought about it for a couple minutes then finally his eyes lit up. "Nuclear Bombs! We drop 1 of them in the center of the fleet. The blast radius will cover there whole fleet and still not affect anyone else." "Alright Major Ray, its your call. You heard him gentlemen!! I want one nuclear bomb dropped within the hour!" The president commanded. Exactly 56 minutes later a nuclear bomb was dropped from an F-16 Fighter Jet and all the warships were destroyed...except for one. The one that wasn't destroyed had on titanium armor, blast resistant metal, and 3 feet of bullet proof glass. The only was to stop it was to send in a team of Army Rangers and a team of Navy seals. 75th Regiment 2nd Battalion Rangers were called up to duty along side with Seal Team 4. After a quick briefing and equipment check both teams boarded two Apache helicopters and set out to secretly board the last ship. On the way to the ship the teams discussed there plans. "ETA 30 Seconds!" the pilot shouted. Everyone geared up, roped up, and got ready to descend onto the sun deck. The soldiers then began to descend. Once everyone was secure on the ship the helicopter took off. "Be back in 20 minutes, Apaches Oscar Mike" "Roger that, Hooah" Said the Ranger Leader. After about 15 minutes they had executed there mission, along with 25 of there enemies.  After the mission was done and everyone was back at base, Major Ray left. He went back to his house, found his wife and before he even gave her a chance to speak and ask what had happened he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

Week To Live )POST ON EXAM)

The diagnosis came in last night. I have a terminal illness that is going to give me only one week to live. 7 days.168 Hours. Wow that really puts everything into perspective. Some people would say they want to travel to places they never got to go to, some say they want to go back to there favorite places when they grew up, but me I just want to live my life like i have been. Its been the best of times and I just want to stay with the same routine. I want to go to work and then come home to my wife's best meal and my kids screaming for help with homework. But what I do need to do is get my kids and wife set financially. So what i think im going to do is talk to my boss about a bonus. If i get a nice bonus that could help them until she finds a job. So i go to my boss the next day about a bonus and he said "You know what Chris, Youve been our best manager yet, i think i can do that" and wrote a check for $65,000! "Wow.. Thank you Mr. Collins, thank you so much." "No problem Chris, its been a pleasure having you with us." He said, then I went to the bank and deposited it. After that i went home and talked to my wife to tell her about the news. She was happy and for the first time in a while she had a faint smile, but the reason behind the money quickly broke her down again. Since the news i hadent cried, eeveryone else had but me. But right there, standing in that kitchen a tear fell from my eye, then another followed and the flood gates opened. The news hadnt set in yet. Ithink because its me i hadnt realized the full situation yet. I started to see flashbacks of when my kids were born,when we got married, when I graduated from high school and college. Everything. Now im one week away from it all being gone. I spent the next couple of days with my kids, teaching them things about life and on how to raise a family. Telling them that everything will be okay one dad is gone and that they have to be strong and take care of there mother. All stuff that they want to hear but i know isnt true. The older, CJ, will be a good leader and help his mother. Hell hell help raise his little brother Andrew as well. On the 5th day i felt really sick and got admitted into the hospital. Shortly after I passed away. But that what i did in my last week, lived like everything was normal. Its what makes me the happiest.

Two Old Men

"pretty nice day isn't it Frank?". "it sure is Henry, it sure is." Frank replied. "So, how's the old lady? She still ranting about every little thing?" Henry asked with a slight chuckle. Answering with a sigh, Frank says "She's not doing so well now a days Henry, her eye sight is going and her hearing is right behind it. Some days I wonder and worry about her. Her health seems to be going quick, and her memory even quicker. How about you Huh? How's Chelsea dealing with the back surgery?" "oh she's doing better. She traded in the wheelchair for a walker now. She's recuperating faster then expected and that sure is a blessing. Her physical health is good but I'm not so sure ok where her minds at. Seems like every day she's gets sadder and sadder since our son Joe passed away in that car accident." Henry stated. "I'm sorry for your loss pal.. Such a tragedy. I couldn't even imagine losing Thomas or any of my girls, Must be really hard. How are you holding up?" "ah I'm doing okay, it's been about a year so the pain is still fresh. Ya know I think it'll always be fresh. As soon as the wound heals, I think about it and my soul bleeds and cries again. He was my only child, my only son. Nothing can replace him. Nothing. " Henry says. The two men sit there for a little while, looking at the crowds walking by, people watching. "Nice park isn't it?" Henry asks. "Yeah, looks like our tax dollars went to a good cause after all. Say, don't you think we should bring our wives out here one day? Maybe have ourselves a little picnic of some sort" Frank Suggests. "Ehhh maybe, I'll have to talk to the misses and get her thoughts on it." Henry tells him. "Oh sure sure, of course. I just thought it would be nice for everyone to be together again. We haven't all seen each other since the...uhhh..resting home." "the wake. I know since Joes wake. "Henry says. A ball rolls over from a group of kids playing catch. It rolls into Franks foot and he hits it with his Cain back to the kids. One of them calls out "Thank you mister!" And Frank just waves his hand back. "Ya know I'm kind of tired. I just want to go to sleep." Frank says. "Oh I know what Ya mean friend, I'm always itching for a nap." Henry replies. "Well Henry, I guess I'll see you next Sunday, same place?" "Of course Pal, I'll be here, give the misses my love" "Will do Henry, same to Chelsea" and the two men part ways and head home.
