Domino folded his body into a small plastic bin. His mother recently told him to stop doing this, as it was a bad habit of his. But this was his favorite activity, besides, of course, individually wrapping playing cards with human hair and sending them in the mail to the senators. But other than that, he was a completely ordinary teenage boy.
"I am a completely ordinary teenage boy!" Domino exclaimed, like any other completely ordinary teenage boy.
He said this as his mother conveniently walked into the room. "Look at you! You are a completely ordinary teenage boy."
Domino, in fact, did look like a completely ordinary teenage boy. He had short black hair that went down to his thighs. His eyes were the color of Jasmine rice and just a little too far apart, like any completely ordinary teenage boy. His face was very angular, almost as if you would find it on a sheet of geometry homework. His fashion sense consisted entirely of band T-shirts that were three sizes too big, because he never felt like wearing any pants. Like a completely ordinary teenage boy.
"Domino Pholdhing Tchere, get down here immediately! We need to talk!" His mother said as she left the room and went downstairs.
"Ugh," Domino exhaled from his completely normal teenage boy mouth. "Fine."
He hopped downstairs while still in his small plastic bin. This was very hard for him, because he had really steep stairs. Though he has gotten better at it over the years. The first time he tried to do it, he ended up accidentally murdering his sister, Suhwyvyl Tchere.
As he made his way to the living room, he noticed his living family on all of the sofas (chairs weren't allowed in this household).
"Domino, we need you to stop folding yourself into a small plastic box like a completely ordinary teenage boy."
He looked around. All of them had very serious faces. His mother, Ahphisse. His father, Rheecklienin. His sister, Arhme. His aunt, Lauhn. His uncle, Rhockeign. And his grandmother, Whinngbhahcc.
At that moment he screamed "NO U!" and promptly hopped out of the house.
"GET BACK HERE YOUNG MAN!" he heard his grandma yell from inside the house. He made sure he went where no one could ever find him. The one place no one would ever suspect a completely ordinary teenage boy to hide. Under a car at the local McDonalds parking lot.
After a few seconds of hiding, he saw a pair of feet from behind the car. They were very lickable feet. He knew to whom they belonged before they ducked down. It was his friend Jenga.
"Hey bro," Jenga screeched into the void. "SKSKSKSK!"
"You are such a completely ordinary friend."
"You are such a completely ordinary teenage boy, Dom"
"This is such a completely ordinary conversation. For two completely ordinary teenage boys to have."
"Have you seen our other completely ordinary friend Kherplunk anywhere?"
"Nah, bro," Dom insisted on breathing into existence. "I think she got kidnapped."
As he said that, they both saw two people carrying a very sus and large fabric fish.
"Hey! Are you guys kidnappers?" Dom asked, still folded in his little bin under the car.
"Yeah actually," the two guys stopped and turned towards them as they dropped the huge, screaming fish. "It's a really underappreciated profession. I mean, we went through four years of college to get our kidnapping degrees! People these days have no respect for valuable members of society like us."
"Sorry 'bout that bro," Jenga squeezed between the strange men and patted them both on their shoulders. "My bro Dom and I totally get that. I mean, his family doesn't appreciate the wonderful art that is folding yourself into a small plastic bin like a completely ordinary teenage boy"
"Yeah!" said Domino. "You guys are the best kidnappers I've ever seen."
"uwu" both of the kidnappers blushed and twirled their hair around their fingers, eyes twinkling.
"By the way," Jenga said, "will you be kidnapping us too? I've always wanted to do that."
"You bet!" The kidnappers smiled widely, as they picked up Jenga by his left kneecap and tossed him into the giant fish. They looked at Domino for a moment before picking up his bin and throwing him in too. The experience was much like actually being consumed by a fish - slime and all.
They then noticed Kherplunk squished in next to them.
"Hey kerplunk," Jenga attempted to say. Although it just came out as "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmbeepmmmmmmmmmmmmbeepmmm".
They soon realized he had quickly become a microwave. As had they all. It appeared this fish could transform people into microwaves.
They then proceeded to have a lengthy conversation about the Australian economy, entirely in microwavian.
"Mmmmmmmbeepmmmmmmmbeepmmmmmm," Jenga said, meaning "This fish pretty sus bro" in English. As opposed to "Beepmmmmmmmbeepmmmmmmmbeep", which means 'Where is the nearest funeral home? I need nutrients.'.
"Beepmmmmmmmbeepmmmmmmmbeep" said Kherplunk.
One of the kidnappers said, "Okay, kids. This is where you get off." while dumping the contents of the fish on the floor.
Turning back into humans, the three friends discovered something amazing. Something Awe Inspiring. Something dangerous. Something... odd.
