Epidemiology to Science

Chapter 3: Wasting More Time

1

I woke up at 8 in the morning. As I sat up from my bed I wiped the crud out if my eyes. I took up from my bed and walked to my dorm kitchen. I saw Tony pouring himself a bowl of Fruit Loops for himself. I walked to the cabinet and pulled out a foam bowl for myself. Why is foam getting more expensive these days? Maybe because it is killing the wildlife on this planet, well I am a murderer I guess.

I walked up next to Tony. He handed the box of cereal to me. I may be standing exactly six feet, he is still over than a head length taller than me. No wonder how he got on the university's basketball team. I started to pour myself a bowl of cereal.

Tony opened the fridge holding his foam bowl of cereal in his hand. He asked me, "Do you have classes today?"

"Nope." I replied placing the box of Fruit Loops back on the counter.

Tony pulled the gallon milk out of the refrigerator. It was almost empty. We both sat on the couch and placed our foam bowls on the footrest. He started to pour the milk into his bowl. He handed the gallon to me and I poured milk onto my bowl. There was little milk left in the gallon, so I drank the rest of the milk from the gallon.

I said to Tony, "Today I plan on going to Fandom Con with my brother and a friend of mine."

"Is you 'friend' the carrot top girl?" He asked smiling as he watched ESPN on the television.

"No. Why the hell would I be going to a nerdy convention with a stalker?"

"Okay, so she is a stalker right?"

"Yes..."

"I just wanted to make sure. I thought she was your girlfriend."

"You like her?"

"I have a girlfriend."

"Oh." He went on a dare with her yesterday! How in the hell did you forget that!? I am stupid. I continued on with my Fruit Loops as me and Tony both watched ESPN. The current feed was about a sick player. I listened in even though I am not into much sports.

"Last night during a international Football game a New Zealand fan sitting on the sidelines broke into the field by jumping over the railing," The sports reporter said as a photo of man running at the field railing on the top right of the screen appeared. "The man appears to be shirtless with his phone in his hand. He during the middle of an intermission jumped on the field. There is footage of this incident."

The photo of the man about to jump over the railing filled up the screen. The fst stomach looked worse on the big screen. It came to life when the man jumped over the railing and took a three meter fall to the ground. He toppled over on his stomach and he slowly stood up. He ran out further in the field with his stomach jiggling on camera.

"The demons are coming!" He scream echoed through the field. Six security men ran to the field. The fat shirtless man screamed again louder than his first scream, "THE DEMONS ARE COMING!" He fell to his knees and lifted his arms up in the air. "Our maker is speaking! The de-"

The video ended with a wire connecting the man chest. The wire came out of the taser that one of the security men held in his hands. Wait, did they say a New Zealand fan? The disease is spreading more dangerously in New Zealand. This may be upsetting news to Dr. New Zealand. Hopefully he is okay, maybe he will not find this out.

Tony said, "I missed that game. The only football I watched last night was the game on campus."

I stayed silent, speechless.
