I got carried away with my story so please do NOT follow my example and do as the prompt asksđ
Joe was a curious fellow, took many walks, keeping an eye out for,anything interesting or odd. Today was no different. It was a Wednesday, a typically âI wish it was the end of the week, dayâ. Joe was just walking along and spied something shiny on the side in the grass. He thought maybe somebody had dropped their phone or something so he reached down, picked it up. It was an odd shape, sort of like a star but rounded edges. He looked around to see if anybody was close and could have dropped it but the sidewalk and surrounding area was empty.
Joe decided that he would try to rub off the dirty part and see how shiny it really was and when he did that, a bright light emerged from it. He shielded his eyes. It was so bright, he wondered if it was some new kind of flashlight or something like that and he was murmuring to himself what it could be and how it could be used when suddenly it just went black. The light stopped! Now he was more curious than ever!
He decided to take out his handkerchief that he always carried with him, just in case of some kind of an emergency like a bloody nose, maybe something like that. Joe always thought of himself as an intelligent competent person ready for any emergencies or anything special that would come up and this day was certainly something special. He started cleaning the star shaped item and noticed something touched him on his back. He tried to reach around to see what it was like a leaf or something and it was a hard thing. It gave him the creeps
Then he felt something else again and again and then he looked down and they were coming up on his pant legs . The star shaped object had multiplied and it was trying to cover him. He panicked and started brushing them off but he couldnât brush them off because they were stuck on! They didnât hurt him, they just stuck to him and Joe of course was claustrophobic and he started to panic more and more until he finally just passed out.
The next day, a man named Mike was walking down that same path and he noticed something on the side that was shiny and he thought âooh, money, cool!â Then he reached down and picked it up.
