Money

Spoiler
So this comes after ‘Head in the Clouds’ and I put the link down there somewhere too. You HAVE to read that one first. Like HAVE to. Thanks for reading!


Well this is a story that happened before my… you know: accident.
Don’t judge me, I’m not looking for that right now (it’s actually too late for that), I just wanted to tell you about another thing I’ve done that’s ruined my life. Yeah.

Right, so I was in our apartment and I was listening to this debate about how people “throw money out the window” and I was getting bored so I couldn’t be bothered to listen to the whole thing and decided to test out what pleasure people found in throwing money out of the window.

I grabbed my piggy-bank that contained all the money I had been saving up for the past two years. The pocket money my parents gave me every two weeks was supposed to be for my motorbike I was going to get but I told myself it didn’t matter – throwing money out of the window must be much more fun!

I put all my money in a plastic bag, and well, I shook the money out. Coins and bills and stuff. All of it! It was thrilling…until…

There came a knock at our apartment door, like, five minutes later. I was all alone at home so I had to answer the door to that impatient person who was knocking like some sort of crazy muscular leather-jacket biker with tattoos and who constantly listens to heavy metal type of guy.

Wow, it’s crazy how I can describe a knocking exactly like the person knocking!

Apparently, this mister-leather-jacket-biker had been hit by a shower of coins, and all that jazz.

Yeah, ‘course I got beaten up. But at least I got to try out what throwing money out of the window felt like!

It sucked.

I think that’s when I drank some of that drink and I went to the top of the building to try out that other thing I did.

Like I said before, don’t judge me. How was I supposed to know that that’s not what is meant by “throwing money out of the window”?

Pff humans!

So, i did clicked the link to read Head in the Clouds and proceed to read your story.I have to admit that i love it. It feels like you are actually telling the story face-to-face that i can feel the emotions in every line you wrote. Somehow, i thought you acted like a child, wanted to try everything before considering the consequence. :D
Wow, it’s crazy how I can describe a knocking exactly like the person knocking!


i love this line the most. But, i feel like something is odd. I prefer the sentence to read like this,
" exactly like the person did " Personally, i really do love your story.
Loving in secrecy is my specialty.
What if...I was never here in the first place.



Too often we crave the extraordinary in life, without even learning how to cherish the ordinary first. Friend, I promise you this: if you can learn to take joy in the simple mundane things in life, the extraordinary will take care of itself, it'll be on its way, hurrying towards you. But if you skip the first part, it'll ever evade you.
