the whole story is complete, read it out loud.
I wonder if Santa Claus is real. Would he be a
really
(adjective)
man? Or what if in reality he was the
more
(adjective)
type of guy? Who knows? For all we
know he could be a(n) (adjective)
person
(verb) ing
around with his
(adjective)
(object)
. You see,
that would explain a lot since last year all I got for Christmas
was a
(adjective)
(noun)
. It really sucked because, in
reality, I’d wished for
(celebrity name)
to magically appear
in
(your favorite place) with a(n)
(object)
tied in
colorful ribbons. It was so disappointing not to see
(same
celebrity)
, that I had a major (adjective)
outbreak in the
middle of
(school subject)
class. What’s even worse is that
this happened all in the middle of
(any month but December) .
This got me several weird looks, especially after I hit
(teacher’s
name)
in the
(body part)
and then simply proceeded to
empty a bottle of
(liquid)
on myself for, what seemed, no
apparent reason. Although the teacher incident got some
congratulatory and approving looks from several other
students, especially from (friend’s name) , the whole
(same
liquid)
part only made others really uncomfortable. My
parents were advised to seek me some professional help. So…yeah…
I really hope I get what I want this Christmas. Wouldn’t a
new
(object)
be nice?
