TAKING OVER
I woke up a bit drowsy. Today, to many people's beliefs, was the last day of our lives: December 21st, 2012. The last day on the Mayan Calender. I stretched as I slowly eased off my comfortable bed. I made my way out of my cramped, dirty bedroom and into the living room. My parents were into a heated conversation that I could not keep up with nor follow. I sat down onto the leather couch and grabbed the remote control off of the glass table.
I flipped on my big television set. The president was on TV - making an important announcement, it seemed. "And..as I conclude, I declare myself president for life." After the announcement there were several gasps from the television. I had to reprocess that in my mind. I was terrified and apparently my parents had heard him as well. We all remained sitting, frozen, in the living room. I flipped through all the channels and it was on repeat, broadcasting through each channel.
All of our eyes were glued to the TV screen. I don't think it made any sense to them either. It was so unsuspected.

Just thinking of what all of you thought, I'm not planning on finishing it. It's just what I call a story bit, the beginning of a story that I never finish. I do it all the time. Decided I would post this one.
