This'll fix 'em. Abuse me will they! There's laws
|
||
against that stuff ya know!
|
||
|
||
Been plannin' this for more'n a week. Ever since I
|
||
saw this old place hidden back here off the road in the
|
||
middle of all these trees. Saw it when they brought me
|
||
back from soccer practice. THEY didn't see it. THEY
|
||
don't pay any attention!
|
||
|
||
Sure is quiet. I hate quiet. I'd of brought my boom
|
||
box 'cept the batteries are dead. Its all THEIR fault!
|
||
"Buy your OWN batteries," they said. "EARN the money,"
|
||
they said. "Mow the lawn," they said. "Do your homework.
|
||
Clean up your room. Take out the garbage. Pick up your
|
||
shoes." I'm so mad I could scream! And its always when
|
||
my favorite shows are on!
|
||
|
||
Sure is quiet, though.
|
||
|
||
I'm hungry. Missed dinner. Had to get here before
|
||
dark and it took me TWO HOURS to ride up here on my bike.
|
||
That dumb old piece of junk. I've had it since the
|
||
Christmas I was nine! Two whole years!
|
||
|
||
I'm cold, too. I grabbed a couple of cans of stuff on
|
||
the way out but there isn't any microwave here. No
|
||
'lectricity either. Besides, the can opener musta fallen
|
||
outa my pocket. That's HIS fault! I had to get out
|
||
before HE came home from work and I'd have to listen to
|
||
"Do your homework." and "Turn off that television!" all
|
||
night. Well they're not gonna abuse ME anymore...'cause
|
||
I'm not there!
|
||
|
||
I'm still cold. I brought a pack of matches so's I
|
||
could start a fire. Had 'em in my back pocket. Hey, it
|
||
was hard work coming all the way up here! I got sweaty,
|
||
so what? Darned matches got wet and now they won't work.
|
||
Dumb old bike. I told them I wanted a new ten-speed!
|
||
Told them last week! Would they buy me one? NOOOOO!
|
||
|
||
What's that?
|
||
|
||
Voices! Somebody's shinin' lights in the window!
|
||
There's cars outside!
