Puppy
The sun alerted me to the mornings presence, I knew it was going to be a good day or so I thought, I grabbed my clothing prepared myself for the day then made my way down the stairs as we sat together eating breakfast. The day started like an ordinary day, beginning with the first few tasks and finishing through relaxation, such as brushing our teeth, cleaning up our rooms, and watching Tv. I felt myself sink into the couch removing all the painful worries of life out of my life for a brief moment, something peaceful for a change. Only to be interrupted by my mother's voice calling my name, it felt as if the sound literally was causing physical damage to my body over the course of each pausing millisecond. her statement disturbed my entire life layout for the day, I was being forced to go to a resort and kayak in a river. I eventually gave into her statements of how we are going to have so much fun as well as how the experience would improve our views of the world, and allow me to assure you, it does. As I enter the car I realize the length of the trip will be extremely heavy, so I logically decided on my own to take a step back into myself and rest until our arrival. I was once again awaken by the sudden stop and the perfect glaze of the sun in my eyes, I exited the vehicle only to realize the heat was tremendous and extremely cruel on my skin. My eyes widen after the amount of intoxicated individuals that surrounded me in surprise at their presence out of everywhere they could be had to be here, most of them smoking and drinking while we all waited for the guide to retrieve our kayaks from their resting place. After the kayaks retrieval we settle inside them, cold and clammy full of water, I settled out upon the river. After straying far do to illusive gestures and comments from the ignorant intoxicated, I decided to stay ahead of everyone else, I imagined that really annoying adventure sound as I crossed many people and made new friends with the intoxicated, rude, ignorant, but funny. finally, I reached the end of the horse parade, reaching a soundless abyss. I relaxed only to once again to be interrupted by nature’s pesky flies. I fled out of fear to avoid the them do to realization that their was a small chance I could be infected by a parasitic type of fly, it felt as if my life depended on it, adrenaline rushing through my mind as if one-thousand scenarios flowing throughout my head on the worst case scenario. After escaping judgement by the flies, my mind finally cleared up from a devastating infection and I began to relax a bit, Still no signs of any other sentients nearby I began to worry insidiously on how far I strayed and if I missed my exit. After the course of an hour I ran into waterfalls and had to physically get out and made me doubt even more the length of this entire kayaking trip. I eventually arrived and saw people for the first time after about an hour and a half, yet to my conclusion I was misguided and told to move further on down the river, I nearly gave in but kept driving myself onward, until my encounter with multiple horse flies feeding on me, I kept stating in mercy “Stop!” Stop!” yet the fly never gave in and kept going, at this point I realized how nature was so cruel and our explanation on how we were so cruel, this allowed me to stray away from society’s grasp on my consciousness on how are world was “supposed” to be viewed, I would take a neutral step into every problem from an unbiased point of view. My first response, was self-questioning myself on the existence of god, and I decided to beg for help regardless is there was no being that could assist me or not, it would help my moral and my survival. I eventually came across a path and I decided to park my kayak and leave my shirt behind cause I was to tired to care, I was chased by wasps, their saturation darker than the environment, they were like something that didn’t belong, pushing me away with a negatively strong energy, Reminding me off the time when my father was nearly killed by a hive. I eventually bypassed that which did not belong forcing myself through a life and death situation do to my allergic responses to poison of wasps and I came up to a house containing two young gentleman and a dog, now this dog was named Puppy, at first he gave off an aggressive aura, his emotional energy made me fear him, until his owners approved of me as a guest he decided to play catch with me, it was at this point that the dogs presence changed to comfort in which I was entirely relaxed and just began playing with the dog out of pure entertainment. This reminds me of my own dog, barking at neighbors but when they are approved as guests, they relax and settle down. I decided to call my mother in order to leave this place once and for all, eventually I made it home as the two gentlemen decided to take me to the camp and allow me to get on the bus. As I set sail for my campsite, I board the bus, scared from the suns rays while my flesh peels from my skin and my mind clears the voices of the intoxicated people around me and the pain of the burns, after my brief adventure on an emotional and physical roller coaster, there seemed to be only one thing to think about that was the most least expected encounter, a chocolate lab staring into my eyes and waiting for me to act.
