A story for the bored..
I'm just sitting in here, in this quiet room, listening to them scream
at each other. My brother and my dad that is. It's over something
stupid of course, but what does that matter to me? They're still
screaming. I have a headache and the silence only makes it worse. Their
screaming only helps it ache on...I linger at the computer desk,
pondering whether I should go upstairs and tell them to shutup. "You're
throwing out the bacon???!!!" Screams my brother, "Yes! No one cleans
the microwave! I work 6 days a week and I come home and I have to work
more!" He replies angrily. "So, you're throwing away the bacon.."My
brother asks confused "Yes!" Dad says strongly. It only gets more and
more rediculous, so I try not to listen. As my head beats harder, I
realize now that I won't be able to start, or finish this English
paper. That's alright though, it's not due for a little while. Glad
that I finished my Bio and Spanish homework I scream, "SHUTUP!!!" up
the stairs, hoping maybe they would listen. Of course they don't and
scream on, but the fact that I tried makes me feel a little better. I
won't let this anger build up inside of me because I know that it will
make my headache grow. As I am about to hit a breaking point, I take a
deep breathe and realize something. I had said they were fighting over
something so stupid as the bacon grease in the microwave. Stupid yes,
but I also was getting worked up about listening to them argue about
something so dumb. I let it go as I felt a great weight be lifted off
my shoulders. They finally shutup. Amen to that.
