in Kentucky
I am out on the road,and I've reached a desert waistland.The sun is shining down on my face,and it is hot.Very hot.I feel as if my tempurature has gone up so high it would break the thermometer.I have fainted before,being out here without any water.But as I fall to the ground,nearly half asleep,I see a man coming towards me.He is short,and quite overweight.In distance,he could much pass for a walking pumpkin.
As he gets closer,I see he has a mustache and wery thick eyebrows.He is wearing a longsleeve suit(which I have no idea why anyone would where such a thing in such ghastly heat.)"What do we have here,hmm?"the man said shortly."Let me introduce myself properly.I am Newton Everlast,working for Newton Everlast Investing.Come with me.You know the rules:All employes must be working at all times during shifts."I raised my eyebrow."But I don't work here,"I said."Well,"he said,"now you do.You are oficially my new assistant.You will be working twenty-four-seven with me.Anyways,we aren't having that much signed-up patients,so we need a new buzz.You my young lady are a child.Who could be more energetic.Yes you are just what we need.Then,I thought I was going to have fun.Gee,was I ever wrong.
"O,child!"Newton yelled,(him calling me "child" was starting to get on my nerves.),"we've got you a patient.She is wanting to invest in real-estate!"The woman that I was supposed to "work with" was a complete weirdo.She had huge glasses which made her eyes look like huge,brown oranges.Her voice tittered every sillable.If I were her,I would have seen a speech therapist than a real estate agent(or a real estate kid.)"He-hello.H-how are y-you to-today?"the woman tittered.She just kept asking questions if the house she was moving into was safe or not.She didn't talk about anything else for a full hour.isent her out without a deal,and right after that,I heard loud and heavy footsteps coming towards my cubicle.I was figuring that Newton Everlast was coming to kill me because of the unhappy customer.It was Newton Everlast coming loudly to my cubicle because of the unhappy customer.But he,thankfully,wasn't going to kill me.
"Child,I AM NOT HAPPY!!!,he yelled."YOU ARE FIRED!!!!!!!" Right afer that,he threw me out back into the hot,barrin,desert waistland.
