The Green Rock

My partner and I went to the store today, looking for a cool new bathroom design. We bought our house about ten years ago and honestly, I’d never really been a fan of the bathroom but we didn’t have the money to renovate it.

But Tim got a big promotion at work the other day, which means we’ve suddenly got the funds. Super exciting. So we were looking at all these custom bathroom designs, trying to decide which was best, when suddenly this green space rock appeared in front of me, literally out of thin air.

Tim was like, “I’m not touching that thing.” But I’ve always been braver than him and reached out for it with little hesitation. I’m still not really sure if that was a good decision or not.

On the positive side, I have the ability to control the air, like some sort of superhero. On the negative side, my body has been turned into a plastic monstrosity. Tim says I look like a Bionic Cool now, but I don’t know what that is.

Why is it that every time I think about getting bathroom renovations near Melbourne something crazy happens? Last year I won a competition and got some extra money from it, so we were going to do the renovation then, but I got attacked by a hoard of vicious rabbits on the way to the bank. They stole my cheque and tore it to pieces. And the year before that, I got my inheritance but had to use it to pay my student loans.

And this time, I’ve been turned into a plastic monster that doesn’t even need to use a bathroom. So much for bathroom renovations now! 

What am I supposed to do with the ability to control the air and green, plastic bones? Seems kind of useless. Why has this even happened to me? Can’t someone else have become a Bionic Cool? This honestly sucks.
