unlucky days - Part one

me and my elder cousin sister decided to light up this rocket ....not just any rocket .A REAL FIREWORK ROCKET THE HUGE LONG ONES THAT MAKE GIGANTIC FLASHES IN THE SKY.so we set everything up .we light it up.and it goes boom!!!!!!

it soars up into the sky like a drunk missile.......and goes higher than wed expected.we were waiting for it to go kaboom but it didnt ..2 second three seconds........we're waiting like captain hook waiting for wendys splash.still no boom........6 seconds 10 seconds .wow really????nothing????

then suddenly about twenty seconds later (yeah that frikkin long it mustve given the moon a peck on the cheeck on the way and waltzed back to earth) my cousin starts going"uh oh run run run run!!!!"she jumps .

now imagine what happens next to be a cool matrix slow mo scene:     my sisters airbourne, slowly parachuting to the ground horizontally......... i look up ........i see the "everso slow" rtocket coming down .........i go "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

the rocket hits the ground ....BOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM LOOKING RITE AT THE ROCKET AS IT HITS THE GROUND AND WHEN IT GOES BOOM I SEE THE FLASH LASTING ALMOST FOR ETERNITY THEN I FEEL A WARMTH ON MY FRONT BODY AND FACE .......THEN THE FORCE OF THE BLAST JUST BLOWS ME AWAY.....I LAND ON MY SIDE IN SHOCK...





NIL .NOTHING.NULL.KAPUT.THE WORLD HAS NO SOUND AT ALL.I DONT CARE WHAT IM SEEING.IM IN A DISCOMBOBULATED DAZE.MY COUSINS SHAKING ME SAYING "KARTIK KARTIK "AND THEN LIKE AS IF SOMEONE TURNED UP THE VOLUME

i can hear the cars alarm sounding off.crap the impact was that great.
"kartik are u ok shit man!!!"there was a crater thats rite folks :shrapnel gravel AND a crater a smooth black dusty dent in the road.the car was honking in that loud monotous way and i touched my face .it was black.my cousins face was black.the neighbours run outside saying what happened what was that.......

and that folks is the story of a rocket that flew 200 feet into the air and.......came back right where it was launched from.moral of the story:                      if youre lighting a real firework rocket,the huge long ones that make gigantic flashes in the sky....or any other thing for that matter.............do not ............i repeat.....do not light one without writing out your insurance papers first.
