[chuchutrain]: 63.Contest Entries.The Giant Candy

So you see, I was walking down the street one day when I heard this whistling sound coming from up above. Naturally, I looked up and saw this huge, gigantic candy falling out of the sky. I looked around and saw no one had seen it yet. I, being the wonderful citizen that I am, decided to warn everyone. “Run! Run everyone! A massive candy is going to crash into the earth!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, which is very loud might I add. And the most amazing thing happened, everyone just stared at me and, yeah you guessed it, kept walking! No one saw the big candy that was coming out of the sky and as I looked up it seemed to get closer and closer and closer! At that point I told myself to screw everyone else and run. So I ran towards my home where I got my flying motorbike and when I went to start it up I noticed a note stuck to the handle. It read as follows:

“To Ms. Stephanie T. Chu,

You are unable to own a flying motorbike and for that we have had to disable it.

Sincerely,
Joann Meekly
Head of Illegal Transportation”

I couldn’t believe it!! I looked down and saw that they had cut all of the wires in my bike! How dare they. So I got off of my flying motorbike and looked up at the sky for, I swear, the millionth time and saw the giant candy up in the sky plummeting towards the earth. I let out a shrill cry as I ran into the house to find something to save me, anything at all. Nothing. But then, just as if a light bulb lit up over my head, I had an idea. Not just any idea, an absolutely brilliant idea! You want to know my idea? Huh? Well I’ll tell you, my amazing idea was to blow it up! Yeah, I know, I’m brilliant. So I ran off to find my handy dandy rocket launcher. I knew it would come in handy one day, and my mother told me it would be a waste of money. Ha! I’ll show her. I ran outside and lone and behold there it was the candy just sitting in the sky about to destroy us all. I loaded up my rocket launcher and took aim making sure that it would hit the dead center. I took a deep breath and let the rocket go. It shot out of the end and straight into the middle of the candy. The candy cracked and snapped as it shattered and it began to rain candy. No one ever believes me that I saved earth by blowing up a giant candy but no one has to believe me because deep down I know it happened and I have a whole pile of candy shards in my basement to prove it.
