"Yum!" I yelled as I rised from my slumber in the morning. I couldn't not wait to start off the day with some healthy jogging, to really wake me up. I might even be the fastest jogger in the whole my block.
Until suddenly, at that very moment, I heard a knock at my door. I went to go see who it was. When I opened the door, I saw a tall, blue hedgehog standing at my doorstep. With my expansive knowledge of video game knowledge, I figured out that it was none other than Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow stood before me with his head drooped low. He had no eyes, just black, void-like eyes. Blood dripped from his eye sockets and dangling jaw, dripping onto his already bright-red shoes. I was worried they could stain. Somehow, I knew that if there was any indication of where he was looking, he would be looking straight at me. Finally, with his low and menacing voice, he said,
"YOUR DISTANCE TRAVELED COMBINED WITH THE TIME IT HAS TAKEN YOU TO GO SAID DISTANCE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE NUMBER TO KEEP APPROXIMATELY THE SAME PACE AS I"
I was shocked and offended. I am hella fast. He doesn't know me. I slammed the door in his face. That was the last I saw of him, but I still have nightmares about him every night. He has haunted me. Taunting me in my subconsious, yelling that phrase over and over to me...I can no longer wake up and be excited for my day of healthy jogging, because I am constantly burdened with the question..."Is my distance traveled combined with the time it has taken me to go said distance an acceptable number?"
