The Catastrophic Beam

                                                                                         

The boy is waiting for the laser to hit them;

 

Hoping its killing only cancer cells.

 

But he knows its killing others too especially his DNA.

 

He knows this because their skin looks like they got really bad sunburn.

 

He goes home asking his parents if the laser is bad or good.

 

Always wondering why he is the only one in the class that fails like a “cool kid” in school.

 

Many years after treatment, the man can’t think positive any more;

 

Hates his self for having Lower IQ scores,

 

Thinking he made his self this way.

 

Everybody makes fun of him, because of the way he speaks as like they are new to English at work.

 

He can’t budget his own check book and gets very frustrated getting ready to pop.

 

No one cares about him and he later grabs a gun with a loud BANG and writes a letter to everybody he knew why he killed him self.

 

When his girlfriend finds him after work in the living room slumped on the couch like he was made of Jell-O,

 

And FREAKS out and dials 9-1-1.

 

She knows it was too LATE and says good bye and hopes he is in a better place.

 

He sees the Light and wonders were is he.

 

Then a voice around him, talks with a DEEP voice.

 

It is GOD speaking to him and telling him to get back up,

 

It’s not his time and everyone is depending on him.

 

Suddenly he wakes up in the hospital and notices his head is wrapped up like a baby is when it is first born.

 

He then later promises not to commit suicide and is sworn to KEEP his head up.

 

Later to this day, he’s not the best person, but thinks GOD for giving him another chance.

 

On his wedding day he then starts to DANCE.

 

His voice has changed to monotone,

 

Just like a robot because of his HIGH toned cancer treatment,
