I camped out to be first on line at Apple’s flagship store. Sleeping days on concrete had left me stiff and sore. Now all was fine, I was first in line, They handed me the phone. Envious glances all around, I am the first to own. A local news reporter asked me if I would hold up my prize. They broadcast live on New York One. My joy is undisguised. But my joy turned to horror as the phone slipped from my hand and smashed on Apple’s smooth tiled floor. I’m an unlucky man. You’ve seen me on the internet, the video went viral. Don’t bother calling, why interrupt me in my downward spiral.
Shamelessly based on a true story from Sidney, Australia
