"Even the days and nights must be jealous of your predictability."
Sir Whipsonfreak had the most boring, yet safe life in the town of Bunsberry. But one day his grandson Richter complained about it and to prove him wrong Sir Whipson will do the unex...
It was the first day of spring, and butterflies fluttered around carelessly, attracting both suitable mates and hunters. Finally, the butterfly found him, no, not an ideal hunter but a suitor.
Slowly they flew around together, doing whatever love-insects do. Finally, they landed on the road, the female butterfly shying away while the male butterfly slowly moved towards her. Just as they were about to make an egg together, an anti-Romeo sparrow swept down and took both the butterflies in his claws and crushed them. Crushing their dreams of a beautiful egg to adorn their family.
As it flew among the mortals, happy of the dinner he has finally found, a cycle came in front of his dreams. Startled the bird swerved to the right and rammed its head on a building, falling down unconscious.
Seeing the sparrow, the cyclist swerved to the left, his cycle wobbling with the sudden turn. Finally, he maintained the balance and prevented it from falling. He looked back as he sped away. His eyes fell on the knocked out bird and he started laughing. He then turned back, returning his eyes to the road that lay ahead just in time to get face-smacked by the door of a car. He fell down, his nose bleeding profusely.
Just then, a teenage boy jumped out of the car and happily jogged into his grandad's apartment, oblivious to the grumbling cyclist, the crushed insects or the knocked out bird at the foot of the neighboring building.
He looked at his watch and finally after two whole weeks realized that it had stopped working. He sighed and fished out the keys from his pocket. Climbing up the stairs he came right in front of another old man who was carrying a carton of books. The old man stumbled and finally crashed, but the boy remained oblivious to it, his ears stuffed with a headphone blasting some random hip-hop mumbo-jumbo, while his eyes were covered by a 6-inch screen.
He surprisingly popped the eighth bubble from the gum he had been chewing for two days. Finally, he took it out of his mouth and flung it outside the window.
The gum landed on a stray grey cat outside. Scared, the cat jumped and landed in the neighboring building's Miss Catluck's kitchen. Its feet rotated the knob of the stove to full flame as it ran and hopelessly tried to get rid of the sticky pink stuff that was dirtying its coat.
Finally, the boy landed in front of his grandpa's door. He smiled and using the key opened it. As he slammed the door after entering the house, a vase from the nearby stand, shook and fell down, breaking into bits and pieces.
Looking at the broken vase, his face fell and a moan escaped his throat. "Damn. I almost made it to grandpa's house without any incident for the first time. This vase just broke my near to completion zero-accident record!"
