Today I went to
the doctor's office. Got moved to a new doctor because of my health
plan to a doctor down very close to my house. I like the doctor so
far(the problem with being forced to switch doctors is that you can
get stuck with someone you don't like). If I keep liking him it'll be
good. It's not a new epilepsy doctor, just the normal primary care
physician, thankfully I'm going to the same neurological clinic. It'd
be really crazy if I had to switch that. Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
The Starving
Games
The children
were left alone in the house to fend for themselves, the oldest
sister at the age of 16 left in charge to babysit. Their tribe
numbered five in total, three brothers and two sisters.
Emily Age 10
Barry Age 11
Adam Age 13
John Age 14
Jessica Age 16
These were the
children trapped in the Starving Games. The Starving Games being that
all of them desired dinner...but all were too lazy to make it. The
parent's understood their children possessed the ability but not the
drive. The children all sat around the TV whining and complain.
“You do it.”
“No you.”
The eldest as
babysitter would tell the others to do it as boss but they would
counter that as the babysitter she should do it. The competition over
who should make dinner continued for what seemed to be hours.
Though the
total time of the Starving Games was thirty minutes. But whining,
complaining and arguing tends to drag out the perception of time.
They decided to
order pizza. This turned out to be one of the few times that the
siblings cooperated on a single task, evenly splitting the cost of
the pizza based on how many slices the person ate. They laughed and
talked about how they argued about who should make dinner when this
was the smarter solution(in the minds of these kids pizza could be a
daily diet). They would go back to arguing the next day, but this
tale does show that laziness can be one of the greatest ways to bring
people together.
