Nothing to Say! By Afroza Ayreen Afia _X A
My mother asked me to go to the market in the afternoon. Initially, first I wanted to avoid but then thinking she need milk for my little brother, I left home. I reached the market and was about to pay money for the milk when suddenly, I realized that I wasn’t paying to a human, but to a cow.
Yep! You read that right! There was a cow, dressed up in his pajamas and standing on his 2 feet while his other 2 feet were his hands. I think I was freezed for like 5 seconds when he asked:
“What man? You never saw a cow selling milk? Now moo….”
Then I realized that I was standing there creating a long queue behind me. Something alarmed me. There were animals on the line_Giraffe with an extra-long collar, a hippo (thank goodness, his dress is loose), a goat with a red tie and a suit (looks like he came for his breakfast), a chicken with a frock and a tiara, and a slimy little frog. I was freezed for 3 seconds, trying to figure what the problem was, is it my mind or nothing. The cow began yelling at me, “Yo, man! What’s the problem with your leg? Moooo…”
I took the milk and slid out of the line. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The situation is like the entire 7 billion human population is now 7 billion animal population. Where did all the human go? Did they go extinct? When did they appear in the endangered list? But I saw human yesterday, how did they disappear within a few minutes?
With all these questions in my mind, I suddenly saw something unexpected, Judy and Nick from Zootopia is right in front of my eye. Timon and Pumba were there too! Wow! Now it’s like the cartoon character has come to life! Are they wearing a sort of costume? No way. It looks just like a natural skin.
Am I dreaming? All these questions kept poking my mind and I couldn’t do anything to stop them. My curiosity was just too much. Closing my eyes would make the situation worst. What if I bump into an elephant? Who knows, it could be there! So, I just kept my eyes open and gazed down hoping that would keep my curious mind calm. But that was even worse than before! A group of mice with tiny coat and all them were carrying a suitcase, and I hate mice! They’re too disgusting, horrifying, nasty and not at all cute!
It’s just so overwhelming I don’t know how else to react. Animals were acting like how humans normally act. I should have brought my phone so that I could show my brother. Thinking of my brother, I must go home and give this milk to mom. Oh boy! I just got worried whether my family turned into animals too. I rushed home and rang the doorbell.
The first thing I saw was a weird blue dolphin opening the door. This confused me. How is a dolphin walking on its fish tail? How is it still alive? Is dolphin supposed to breathe underwater?
Then I saw a peacock entering! I just got an amazing fact that everyone’s turned into animals and I’m the only one in this whole world, who’s a human! I was kind of enjoying the situation when I’m completely dumb and I have no idea what’s going on around me, while others just think everything is completely normal! I wanted to tell mom and Jayden was just happened, I called out for my brother, “Jayden!”
Guess what, the dolphin answered: “What man?”
I came to a crazy conclusion that my brother just got turned into a dolphin. I couldn’t help but laugh and admit that this is crazy! “dude, you…you really need to look at the mirror! Mom?”
“what happen dear?”
“Mom, you…you’re a peacock!”
She got confused and thought I was crazy. Then suddenly the dolphin shouted: “Yes! It works!”
I have a bad feeling about this dialog, “What works?”
“The micro-chip!”
“When did dad give you that?”
“Dad never gave me, I made it and with this, I can control anyone’s imagination if it’s stuck behind their neck!”
Then I noticed that there was something, smaller that a finger-nail, stuck behind my neck.
Nothing to say!
