The Church

Time: 6:00 AM, Sunday, March 2nd, 2008, Gregorian Calendar.

Location: McNab Street, Stratford, Ontario, Canada, Planet Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, Observable Universe.

You are 18 years and 7 months old.


You awaken to the sound of rain hitting the window.

You go through your packed items making sure not to forget anything.

You slip on your MCR hoodie, which is now riddled with holes and stitches.

You have a healthy breakfast of Doritos and Mountain Dew.

You step out on the side steps of the house looking for your ride.

No cars anywhere in sight.

You pull out your smart phone to check for texts, and to make sure you have your friends numbers in your contacts before you go.

Suddenly, you feel a small object hit you in the back of the neck.

You look to the ground and see that you have been pelted with a chestnut.

Sterling: "Didn't expect that one to happen, did you?"
