EXTREME SLOTH RACING
The TV channel “Animal Galaxy” airs its most popular program
“Extreme Sloth Racing” everyday during the prime time hours with
millions of people's eyes glued the to the screen.
“Welcome back viewers,” the narrator said while a group of
sloths hung from a tree with heavy metal rock music playing in the
background. “Day twenty, third lap of the race and it seems the
dark horse sloth Wrecker is pulling up on Blaze. Oh! But Wrecker
loses some speed as he stops to scratch his back! Is this race in the
bag for Blaze's owner?” At home people pulled forward to the edge
of their seat looking at the action. “Oh, but Blaze falls asleep! A
big curse here in any Extreme Sloth Racing competition! That
could easily cost Blaze the lead and send the sloth into last if the
others pull forward.”
As the show went on a few places were exchanged as the sloths swung
a few times between branches. Boos and cheers from couches and chairs
far and wide occurred. And sometimes sobbing as people placed many
bets on the sport. Gambling addicts may be eating only based on
whether a sloth wins or loses.
“Oh! Oh! I don't believe this! Blaze is awake! BLAZE IS AWAKE! In
all my years of hosting this show I haven't seen a sloth wake up so
quickly, it is just incredible. But still, the sloth is in last
place. Wait, wait. Something else is happening!” A dramatic zoom
and pan veers around the sloth. “Yes, it is sauntering. Sauntering
past all the competitors The fastest saunter probably in all the
game! All the way to fifth, fourth, third, second, first...”
Around the world people cheered for the incredible sloth as it
finished the third and last lap in the race with its dynamic saunter
that would go down in sports history.
