Lazy Bum in a Hammock

"No! You can never have it!!" I ran until my lungs were on fire and my eyes stinging with sweat. My body doubled over at the first possible pause. My vision was blurry as I scanned the hall. Safe. 
I shrill shriek sliced through the air and reverberated off the metal walls. My chest lurched with panic as I stifled a returning scream. My feet stomped down the walkway with overloaded adrenaline until I stopped before a deadly cliff. I felt my opponent claw at my shoulder for the treasure in my hands. I twisted away from her and felt five claws scrape my neck. I felt her vault me towards the edge, in order to sling me out of the way of her precious. I gripped onto her shoulders violently. She held my weight in a most uncomfortable position so she would not fall as well. I'm no feather, either. She began to claw desperately at my face and chest, not knowing I had expertly slipped the treasure into my pocket!
I-- What was that?? We both stopped, her hands in my hair and my nails indenting her skin. We listened.. 
"RACHEL!! GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF BED, IT'S QUARTER TILL EIGHT!!" We stared at each other in puzzlement. Suddenly, she released me and I was not aware. I felt my belly reacting to the fall and I looked up. She had my treasure in her hands.
I opened my eyes and saw my mom in the doorway. She had a look of exasperation in her eyes and her pointer finger was on her wrist. I don't know why; she wasn't wearing a watch. My mom ordered my out of the bed and left the doorway empty. I, on the other hand was lost, confused and a little disappointed. One, I had woken up late-- AGAIN. Two, my best friend stole my chocolate.




Anyways, past the drama of eight A.M., nothing all that exciting happened. The cable guys came and hooked up our TV.. That was not all that exhilarating, I admit. 









I went outside after school and watched my puppies. Those blood-thirsty carnivorous beasts almost licked me to death!! haha

Then, because I hadn't done much all day, I went to go do something productive. You know, like lie in the hammocks with your cat for over an hour. Productive stuff like that. Because homework is a BIG waste of time ;D lol jk, Mom!




                              I call this "THE HOUSE OF HAMMOCKSSS"




                                        this is my "lazy bum" buddy, Monk =]


Anyway, that's life in the middle of the jungle.
