Just for Autumn

Here's some real stimuli for you, I found this story from my old myspace blogs. Truly is an interesting one. Don't ask why I wrote it, cause I have no idea. I get a kick out of it though.


Everyone enjoy.

Glass Bottom (Or...How about that first step?...)

Ok...you can do this....it's a steady platform and very sturdy. You can walk on it and see the canyon below you through that beautiful glass bottom. All you gotta do is take...that first...step.

 

Come on now...pick up that leg...your first step is always the hardest, so let's make that firs---Stop staring at that girl over there! You're stalling!

 

Hey! Listen to me...you're taking that first step. You hear me? Look at it...it's thick glass! It's not gonna break or anything!

 

I mean....sure...glass has broken before...even thick glass..I mean...hey! Stop backing up! I'm warning you, if you back up one more step, I'll make you trip.

 

There...that's better...now...how about that first step?

 

No...what do you mean no? The first step is the hardest, after that, it's nothing but beauty that God created for you and you alone! Think about it...a 3,000ft drop right below your feet, nothing but beautiful canyon to see and behold.

 

Oh come on man! Stop stalling! I sat there on that bus with you and listened to you hum that stupid song in your head OVER AND OVER again. Do you know how annoying your own thoughts are?!

What? That makes me annoying? Oh, don't get philosophical with me! You're the one who's sitting here arguing with himself over one simple step!

Now come on, the bus is going to be leaving soon and we both don't want to miss this. Now take that first step....

Well, you've lifted your leg...that's a start. Now push it forward...there you go. Foot on the glass...there we go...nice and easy....now put your weight forward...take another step....

See....we're on the glass. Wow...we're on the glass. Um...are you dizzy? Cause I'm feeling dizzy. um...what's the sound? Does that sound like glass breaking? Wow. You should definitely look down to see if the glass is breaking. Look down, I said! Look down!

What? You can't refuse to look down! Me and the neck are good friends, I can make you look down!

 

...

 

Hey, your shoes on fire!....Ha! Made you look! See? That beautiful canyon below us...so far down...soooo...far...down.....man...that's a long way down...

 

I wonder what it would be like to hock a loggie down there? I mean...with all that talk about terminal velocity....would it leave a crater? That'd be so cool. Walk to the edge so we can find out!

 

...I said walk to the edge.....

 

Oh do not start with me! It took me a good 10 minutes to get you ON THE GLASS, now you don't want to walk another 15 feet to the edge of platform???

 

All right, I didn't want to do this. but you've forced me to. I'm going to make you walk.

Oh legs? Yeah, it's the brain, let's do a little walking on our own, the boy isn't listening again.

Ok, here we go, Left...Right...Left...Right...Left...Right....Left...Right.....there! At the end....now bend over and hock that loogie for all the world to see!

....

 

I'm waiting!

.....

 

come on now...one loogie and I'll leave you alone....I promise....

 

*haaaack* *spit*

There....that wasn't so bad, was it? Now turn around, walk across that...bottomless pit....and let's get on the bus.

 

You really should listen to me more often. All I'm trying to do is make you have a little fun. Fear isn't a part of you, at least not a healthy part. I know it's hard for you sometimes to just take a step...but a glass bottom is still a bottom! Look at what you just did! You walked across a glass bottom, despite your fear of heights, and hocked a major loo---

 

*BOOM*

 

Wuh-oh

 

*rumble rumble*

 

Looks like Terminal Velocity is real...and not just a crappy movie...we'd better get back to the bus. If anybody asks, I'm not with you.
