K4


In the fourth picture, there is an open window shown with the curtains flowing in the wind. There are also seagulls pictured on the walls in the background.  The setting seems to be extremely calm and tranquil, as it is, but only a matter of minutes earlier, this calm scene was a tornado of fury and rage.  Dan B had been playing his X-Box in his room all day, as he was in a tournament on NHL 12. He brought down the mighty Dent in triple overtime and finally moved on to the final round.   Dan approached the game with the calm intensity that was necessary to win. He knew what had to be done, he had to somehow find a way to bring down the one and only, Robin Williams. So many had courageously attempted this fete, yet none ever succeeded. He was just too good. The game started off slow, both teams just feeling each other out. Both players waiting for the other to make a mistake. Finally, Robin slipped behind his own net with Steve Montador, and Dan jumped on the opportunity like a hyena on raw hamburger. He buried the disk of vulcanized rubber so in the back of the twine so fast, it made Robin’s head spin. This lone goal was able to stand as the only marker until there were only 30 seconds left in the third period.  Anything that Robin tried was swiftly denied in a freakish defensive effort from Dan. Finally with only 2 seconds, and the faceoff in Robin’s zone at the opposite end of the rink, Dan prematurely figured that the game was over.  But just as the puck was dropped, Robin moved Zdeno Chara up to the faceoff circle to take the draw, he didn’t even make an attempt at the draw, he just slapped it as hard as he could down the ice, and caught Dan’s goalie off guard. But the worst part of all was, the score keeper accidentally mistook this game of hockey for a game of football after Robin’s goal and counted it as 6 points. Some say the game was rigged, and I think they may have a point. Either way, Dan went on to lose the game, and his entire X-Box console went out the window, and smashed on the sidewalk outside his house. Dan then went downstairs to have an egg salad sandwich to get his mind off the big loss.
