Rotten tomatoes were stinging my eyeballs.  I could only hear synonymous booing from my peers as I drug my feet solemnly off the stage-clarinet in hand.  My abnormal, nerdy stature set me apart, but the music I worked eight of my fifteen years on was obviously flawless.  Would society ever stop rejecting my appearance?  Plastic surgery could fix my dilemma.

I hope that from this piece of flash fiction that people will find a deeper meaning and understand the moral of the story.  I hope that the reader will have the ability to comprehend how and why this story relates to the ongoing issues that people as individuals face every day.  Hopefully it will encourage those who read this piece to be conscious of the words and actions protruding from themselves being placed upon the lives of others.

I understand what this means. You should try turning this into a poem.
