Major Short Story

The way I need my dad, Is like the way I need water. Most of the things I do, I can’t do without him! And of course just like I knew I would do the first home game of the season I brought the wrong color jersey. And I wouldn’t be able to play if I didn’t have the jersey before 5:30 because the game starts at 5:45. So I called my dad because I knew I could rely on him. But it was a Friday and that means payday for him and his workers, and I forgot! But he answered anyways and I asked him if he could go home and get my jersey. And he said well I need about twenty minutes, and it was already 5:15, and I asked if he could do it in 15 minutes and he said “Just don’t worry son, I’ll be there” and I knew he would. I really trust my dad, I was stressing out in the locker room and my teammates were trying to calm me down. I was scared he wasn’t going to make it. But then old faith full came through, I got the phone call to run out side and get my stuff. I was so thank full, I got to play ball with my basketball family and my dad showed me I know I can count on my real family.

Major Poem

Even though life is complex
Simple I'd be.

Even when I cant speak
I would communicate.

Even in the dark
I would illuminate.

In sceptical times
I would stay positive.

Where other men see no chance
There I would, Advance.

They say to be the strongest is the contest.
Well i would stay honest.

And even though the worlds no peace.
In perfect peace I would live.

Life in devotions bliss.
Thats just how it is.

Smell Association - The Gym Floor

                The way the gym floor smells when it’s re-polished for a new season, all the different people in the gym getting ready for tip-off, it just takes me back to my first game and how surreal it felt just knowing that we were about to get live just like the players in the NBA, NCAA basically any basketball teams on TV, I thought our introductions were going to be the same and that there were going to be cameras and loud fans, I got the loud fans/friends and I was just getting hype with my teammates . Listening to roscoe dash as we warm up, just like the pros. God I never wanted it to end, then came tip off we got the ball and boom 8 seconds later we were on the board cause I drove the lane and burned my defender, and hearing my name and number get called out and hearing that I scored first was the greatest feeling ever. That’s why I love the gym floor smell.

Fear Of A Room - My Bedroom

                My room was the scariest thing to me when I was younger, walking into it I wanted someone to go in first and turn on my lamp. When I got in I would creep in slowly. Look around, and dive onto my bed, because I always thought a long hand would grab my foot if I just walk in and get on it. And right when I would land I would punch the bed because I thought the girl from the exorcist was there. And then when I would wake up in the middle of the night I swear I would always see the most realistic witch come and scrape her broom on my window. I would run to the restroom and come back in with the plunger and throw it at my window. As gross as it was I would leave the plunger by my bed so if I heard a noise I would throw it towards the noise. I grew out of this when my older brother moved in with me.

Humpty Dumpty - Hard times in Eggxico

One day in Eggxico, Humpty Dumpty was trying to get his family across the border to them in to America. He was waiting in a cave with his wife and kids. They waited until nightfall. The border patrol had made their nightly round. And barely missed them, so they started running for the fences. They heard an alarm go off. And he pushed his kids ahead. They were floating in the river to the other side and Humpty saw the border patrols egg cars pull up. And Humpty and his family start climbing the fence, and the kids and took forever to make it to the top, so when humpty made it to the top the border patrol agents were already climbing. So he told his wife and the oldest son to take care of the rest of the family and then….. he jumped down the fence and on the way down pulled all the border patrol agents down with him, the fence was so high that when they hit the floor they all cracked open and died. And his family lived happily ever after, and humpty got washed away by the rain, Poor Huevo!

Animal - BOOM

An hour before the game.

I’m plugged in.

Bumping Drake and Wayne.

It gets me ready for the pain.

To me football isn’t just a game.

One day I want to play for the fame.

Coach always tells me, it’s my game.

Leading the defense.

Isn’t that easy.

Sometimes I call audibles.

Sometimes I call the wrong thing.

I run in to try and make a play.

And the ball goes the other way.

When that happens, I feel like a turtle.

The ball is far away, and when coach asks,

“What happened?” I won’t know what to say.

I shut down; he says I need to focus.

We are 2-0, but the score in this game.

Is 23 to 16. If my defense gets a stop.

Our offense will get hype, score and BOOM 3-0.

It’s the next set of downs.

And were back on D.

I’m on the field I call sarge and warge.

Me and Sammy are going to blitz because there in a passing set.

The QB from Del Valle is in shotgun.

He starts his cadence.

And now I see jet motion.

I call of warge and now its just me.

I’m going in alone and I know

My team was way behind me.

The play starts and im running full speed ahead, I feel heavier.

My Arms feel stronger my legs feel more powerful, I feel like a bear.

I’m about to hit the quarterback.

Boom there’s a loud pop.

The Crowd goes wild as he fumbles

The ball and I pick it up and start,

Running for the end zone.

This time I hear the air gyrating in my helmet.

I feel my body get lighter.

I feel like I’m cutting through the air.

I score, we win.

And I feel like me.
