Open Document
My name is Dexter. White male. Bald. Dimples all over my body. Age: right out of the box. The guy in the fancy clothes just set me on a stick that was shoved in the ground. I looked around me, wondering what life had in store for me. I saw people, all around, staring at the man who had set me on my tee.
I saw something coming swiftly at me, in a manner that seemed likely to hit me. I blinked, and at that same moment, I was flying through the air, everything growing smaller and smaller. It felt great to soar through the sky; now I knew why I had those dimples that I hated so much. I was falling down now, swiftly, and I could see a soft, green looking area with a flag near the oval end. Obviously, something important. A sharp wind drove me towards…show more content…

So I told them everything, from when I had my first feeling, back at the factory, to when I met my box-buddies, to when my first box-buddy was chosen and taken away, and about the time I too, was chosen. I told them of my flight, (they seemed embarrassed to hear me talk about it; I guess since I was so exposed, up there and all), and then I told them what seemed to be their favorite part: my glorious, plinking fall. Then they told me of the huge racket the fans made, and the way the man in fancy clothes acted. All this, however, I could never quite
