Rapid Eye Movements: The Island
Last night, I was on a beautiful island. I lived on the beach with all my friends and family. There were the most beautiful sunsets you could possibly imagine: all colors of the rainbow splashed all over the sky. Except those "sunsets" were in the sky all the time. One day, the sky only had purple splotches in it. This was some kind of warning to us. It meant someone was coming. We were all scared, but we searched the beach for answers on what this purple sky could possibly mean. Suddenly, it got dark, as if a storm were coming. Frightened, we all huddled together against a wall. I happened to stumble upon a bowl of tropical fruits and avocados. The storm yielded an army of strange screaming creatures. We were all terrified and could do nothing but stare and hope they would not inflict too much pain on us. When we got a better look at them, they turned out to be what looked like demon monkeys. Thinking fast, and hoping to negotiate and save my island, I reached behind me and pulled out one of the avocados. It was large and green, and it got the attention of our attackers. I told them it was a gift from the gods, but that the gods told me in order to keep such a gift, we were not allowed to quarrel with them. The demons questioned my story: "YOUR gods planted the gift? On OUR turf?" Suddenly the demons were nowhere to be seen. The avocado was now a pineapple. A very long pineapple. My friend had one of these pineapples too. She brought it to my attention, and suddenly the pineapples fell in love with each other, and we could do nothing but laugh at the events that just happened.
