"For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life, and those who look only to the past, or the present, are certain to miss the future. I said, ‘are certain to miss the future!" The president says as he slams his desk in a joking manner. "Hahaha, Coño, I missed that." Fidel Castro, Cuba’s prime minister, responded. Another man, the Secretary of defense, stands up and strides over to the table and says, "Prime Minister Castro! This missile crisis was the last straw! We almost blew ourselves up! So we invited you here today....." John F. Kennedy interrupts, "In good faith Robert" "Yes... In good faith, To sort this thing out" With a displeasured look on his face, Castro responds exclaiming, "Then why is he here! He lost?" while waving his cigar around and pointing at office man Richard Nixon. Nixon noticing this, turns his head down in shame. Right after that conversion there are cracks of thunder and lightning heard outside, but the men are safe and sheltered

After nearly getting stepped on, I got up off of the ground, and realized that no one saw or cared about me. I just started to cry on the spot. I guess the reason why was pretty obvious.

You look a little down.” I really don’t feel like bothering or burdening other people, so I just tell him, “Oh, I’m fine, just a little tired from working overtime is all.” He responds back

My work that night was about to end. Milhouse Engineering had its ups and downs as a job. Sometimes I’d feel like I’m doing something important and actually contributing to society. Other times I’d just feel like I’m air. One of my supervisors, Aiden, walks by my desk and tells me, “You should get going soon, Justin, you’ve done nice working overtime today.” “Okay, I’ll get going soon” I responded. Working 12 hours at my computer desk dragged on and on, and it wasn’t like I had another option in life. I’m a tiny weak person, only a few inches tall. I just started to get smaller after hitting puberty. Doctors told me it was an extremely rare genetic mutation that caused my body to need too much nutrients. To counteract this, it would produce a rare enzyme, usually only found in cephalopods, that would shrink me. I am thankful that school and studying came natural to me, or else I might not have been able to make it this far in life. As a kid, my parents recognized my condition
