You know what's really terrible? Well one might say it's not getting a full pizza to yourself or maybe even your favorite character from a book is dead.

But those are not as sad as this story is.

I've been here for months, and you know what all I've got? Nothing except occasionally a spider or two. No mail. What's a mailbox without any mail? Just a box with no purpose. I used to get so much mail that I overflowed. But now there's none and it fills me with dread.

Most desire to be loved but all I desire is to be filled.

All I can think of is how could anyone betray me like this? What have I ever done to them? They filled me with so much happiness but then suddenly there's nothing. I sit there moping because that's all I can do. I look around to see any signs of life but fail to see any. I'm alone on this country road. I abruptly am thrown to the side, I hear talking, but as soon as that happened everything had turned black.

I wake up to a soft feeling. I was about to give up trying to guess what it was when I realized it was a paint brush. I tried looking at myself and found that someone had painted me a light blue color. After they were done they had let me dry.

It wasn't long till they came back to me and put me back in the dirt. I was shocked, why was this happening; and who are these people?

Nothing much more happened that night. There did seem to be life around me now although. Maybe this would mean I'd be living a happier life than I have had these past months. I decided to sleep considering nothing much of interest happens at night.

I wake up a few hours later to something inside of me. Mail. I finally have gotten mail. I don't believe it. I haven't been as happy as I am right now for such a long time. My wishes have came true and I can't think of anything better than this.

*A few months later*

It's been an amazing past couple of months I've gotten mail every day but today, today has marked the best day. Why? Because my box has been overflowed just like it used to! There's life all over the place now. Even a mail box across the street with me, who I talk to quite frequently. We've talked about it for a while now and we've decided to get married later on.

I know I can say this now.

My life is the best it's been in years.
But I'm still sHoOk


You know what's really great? Getting your favorite food. Meeting your love of your life. Maybe even re watching your favorite TV show. But those.. are not as great as this story.
