TAKING OVER

I woke up a bit drowsy. Today, to many people's beliefs, was the last day of our lives; December 21st, 2012. The last day on the Mayan Calender. I stretched as I slowly eased off my comfortable bed. I made my way out of my cramped, dirty bedroom and into the living room. My parents were into a heated conversation that I could not keep up with nor follow. I sat down onto the leather couch and grabbed the remote control off of the glass table.

I flipped on my big television set. The president was on TV making an important announcement it seemed. "And..As I conclude, I declare myself president for life." After the announcement there were several gasps from the television. I had to reprocess that in my mind. I was terrified and apparently my parents had heard him as well. We all remained sitting, frozen, in the living room. I flipped through all the channels and it was on repeat, broadcasting through each channel.

All of our eyes were glued to the TV screen. I don't think it made any sense to them either. It was so unsuspected.
