It was another early morning in Razville. Nelson was getting up from another slumber nap.

Nelson decided to skip breakfast, and go on an early morning stroll down the neighbourhood.

"Where are you going, Nelson?" Jaiden asked, while chewing on a bagel.

"I'm going to stretch my legs."

"Okay, don't be gone too long, It's going to rain soon."

"Got it."

Nelson headed out of the apartment, and went on the sidewalk. Then he sees a strange man walking a turtle. He continues to stare at the man.

The men then says, "If you do not turn around, I will let my turtle off the leash."

"Why?" Nelson asked.

The man did not speak.

Nelson then proceeds to ask again,

"Why?"

The Man then let go of the leash.

Nelson smirks.

"What's a turtle going to do to me?"

The turtle just stood there. Then the turtle locked eyes with Nelson.

It started walking towards him.

"Oh, no! Call the Police!" Nelson said sarcastically, while doing a slow-motion run movement.

The turtle then smirks.

"What the scallop?! Can turtles do that?!" Nelson asked in astonishment.

The turtle started to run towards Nelson, but the turtle was unusually fast.

Nelson started to race walk in the opposite direction.

"O-okay, g-get your turtle back."

"Get 'em, turtle," The man commanded.

Nelson started sprinting towards his apartment.

"HELP! ANYBODY!" Nelson yelled.

Some people looked over at Nelson, but did nothing whatsoever.

Nelson took a look back to see if the turtle was still there.

The turtle had it's mouth opened and it was foaming to the mouth.

Nelson shrieked.

His heart dropped remembering that he left his toaster in the oven.

Nelson snapped back into reality, and tried to think of any shortcuts he could take.

He saw a fence and sprinted right for it!

Nelson climbed up the fence, and jumped off the top.

The turtle didn't stop! It broke right through it like it was nothing.

"What kind of turtle is this!" Nelson asked.

Nelson brainstormed again.

Turtles can't climb, right?

Nelson went to the nearest tree and climbed up it.

Nelson danced on the branch he was on.

"Ha, ha! I bet you wish you could climb, turtle!"

The turtle didn't slow down but instead, if it's even possible, ran faster.

Nelson then became a little nervous.

"Ha, ha. You can stop now," Nelson said nervously.

The turtle ran up to the tree like gravity suddenly switched directions.

*GASP!*

Nelson gasped and jumps off the tree onto the rooftops. The turtle super-jumps onto the rooftop as well.

"Heck!"

Nelson felt a drop of water hit his collarbone. It was raining.

"Jaiden is waiting for me!"

Nelson looked around for any familiar landscapes.

He was lost.

"Ahh!" Nelson yelled in irritation.

Nelson gave up, and stopped running.

"I can't outrun this thing! Come at me!"

The turtle then got super ripped! It then got on two feet and grew and grew.

"Ha, ha!" The turtle cheered in excitement.

"Okay, what?! This 'thing' can talk!" Nelson asked in confusion.

It grew a titan body and the shell covered his whole backside.

"Alright, I'm done."

Nelson sat down on the roof and curled up into a ball.

"Goodbye, world! And also, can you take out the trash for me. I keep forgetting to do it. I'd hate for Jaiden to do it. He might still be getting over his grief of my death, you know?"

The turtle stopped.

"Wait, what's your address?" The turtle asked, pulling out a notebook and reading glasses.

"The United Apartment. Door 50. Also, tell Jaiden, he's the tall nerd lookin' dude, I want my grave next to Comet's from Full House. You know, fellow celeb?"

"Okay, anything else?"

"Oh, yeah. Buy that um..." Nelson closed his eyes and started snapping, "right! Get him a fidget spinner. I was going to get that for him for his Birthday. No use now since I'm going to die."

"Okay.... debit or credit?"

"Suprise me."

"Okay, that all?"

"Yup."

"You know what? You're not worth it."

The turtle leapt far into the horizon.

"Dang it! Oh, well..."

Nelson got up and took out his phone.

"Hey, Siri. Navigate to The United Apartment."
