Yeah, nothing pokemon related, but I thought I might as well post it. Enjoy. Or not:
?How long have I been here?? Joseph mentally cried. The lizard could barely remember what brought about this punishment as he sat alone in that cold, bleak room. He tugged at the collar around his neck; it stifled his breathing, but he had no hope of being allowed to remove the dark brown device. Joseph wanted to scream out for help, but he knew that would only extend this torture. Besides, who would he call out too? Was anyone even there? His feeble eyes could barely make out the walls of his prison; he didn?t doubt that if there was someone there he wouldn?t be able to see them.
With a sigh, the lizard curled up, partly because of the chill, his thoughts returning to how long he?d been here. Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? Forever? Everything ran into infinity; time came to a standstill.
?How much longer can I take it?? wondered Joseph, pulling at the sleeves of his drab garb, another of his punisher?s authority over him. Despair and boredom were taking their toll; he was afraid he?d lose his mind. ?How much longer? How much longer? How much longer? How??
BBBRRRIINNNGGG!
?Alright, Joseph,? said the detention teacher, a raccoon, ?You can go now.? She didn?t even bother looking up from her book.
With a pump of the fist and mental shouts of praise towards God, the lizard grabbed his backpack and exited the room. Immediately after stepping outside he hastily removed his tie, muttering about how he hated the ugly thing along with his school?s uniform. He quickly found his rid when he reached the parking lot: his older brother in a less-than-appealing old red car.
?Hey, Joseph? the older lizard said as his little brother climbed into the passenger?s seat. ?How was it??
?Hi, Kurt. Boring as hell. I thought I was gonna go crazy.?
?Well, what did you expect? By the way, where are your glasses??
?They conveniently broke when I fell during gym,? Joseph replied, reaching into his pocket to show Kurt the broken optical device.
Kurt let out a small laugh and started towards home. The majority of the ride was in silence, with Joseph staring out the window with some indignation. All that just for being late to class thrice?
