I broke a mug.

I broke a mug. It belonged to my housemate.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it,” he said.

But I was worried about it.

So I went to the store to buy him a replacement mug.

But on this otherwise casual stroll to the store, a rooster ran over to me.

“Help, help!” the rooster exclaimed,

“There is a beached dolphin over there that needs to be saved!”

So I went and saw the beached dolphin.

“I don’t have time for this shit,” I thought to myself.

So I left the rooster and dolphin and continued on my journey.

After a little more walking, I arrived at the store.

“I should buy some fish while I’m here,” I said to nobody.

“Oh wait, I totally don’t like fish.”

So I didn’t buy any fish.

Then, out of seemingly nowhere, a flock of birds started swooping me.

“Go away, stupid birds!” I declared.

They understood my frustration and left me alone. Cool guys.

Then I bought this mug.

My housemate was pleasantly surprised, to say the least.
