Beans Cause Fires

Prompt -

Beans Cause Fires

I didn’t know how this happened, I was only gone for an hour. The house was set ablaze and the ladder was broken. How can a pot of beans catch fire so easily. I walked over to my brother Julio and started to yell at him, after all he was the cause. 

“I didn’t mean to, I just needed to go to the store for Nachos. I was going to make you some for your birthday, if only I turned it off” he had said.

I just nodded, hugged him and went to the police to tell them what had happened.I also told them how this house was really concerning, as it was practically floating other than the electrical lines and ladder that was attached to it. 

After the house had been extinguished and placed on the ground mysteriously the firefighters walked in to see the damage. To my utter surprise and concern the inside was fine, other than the stove, that was fried. I kept thinking about how beans were the cause of it all, and I started laughing. I checked the pot and Cringed, the beans were charred and stuck to the bottom of the pot, it looked like charcoal had been beanified into mushy beans. 

“I’m never using that pot ever again.” I muttered. I walked back outside and told the firefighters and police that the inside of the house was completely fine, other than the stove. My brother was really embarrassed that the cause of this was Because of beans.

Percy Jackson - Diary Entry

Diary Entry

Today was the day I was kicked out of school, again, 5th grade is really hard when you don't have any friends. It wasn’t my fault though, the other kids were out for me. They always blamed me for things i never did. For example, they always pushed the fire alarm in the hallways and I was blamed for it when the teachers saw I never did it. 

The last straw for the school was when I was reading a random book about Greek mythology, I had put it down because the teacher had called me so they attacked. They tore the pages out and wrote “percy was here” on all of them, they then proceeded to fling the pages everywhere. The teacher didn’t notice though, he never did. We had walked into the room and we both saw the damage that was done. He immediately called me out, and forced me to go to the principal, 

As I was about to walk past everyone I had tripped. Everyone laughed at me, even the teacher, I looked up and saw Michae, one of the kids that hated me, laughing at me after he tripped me. I didn’t even know what happened next, I guess I lashed out and punched him, it wasn’t that hard though. My hand didn’t even have a bruise, Michae on the other hand was knocked out with a greyish bruise forming on his eye. I was definitely being expelled, no one would believe me if I didn’t plead guilty. 

I remembered being dragged to the principal's office and being told that I should be glad I'm going, I didn’t believe it though. The principal kicked me out quickly and now I'm here, writing in this stupid book to help my anger issues for the next school, if there ever is one. All I know is that mum’s not going to be happy today when she sees me.
