This afternoon I tried signing onto my Xbox but it wouldn't let me. I called up customer support and they asked the usual questions. Then they put me on hold for thirty minutes or so; and in those thirty minutes I decided I'd make a grilled cheese sandwich. When the customer service rep got back on, he said the account would immediately be deactivated and they they couldn't refund me for all the purchases I made; then told me I was better off with a Nintendo WiiU and hung up. I looked at my phone in disgust. Surely this was some sick joke. But anger, much like a clean, pretty face, got the best of me. I chucked my phone at the wall; then rushed out the house and found the closest thing I could see. An old lawn chair from my jam band festival days. I threw it, with all my might, into the street; screaming "I don't want a ******* WiiU!" over and over, till my voice gave and puttered like a Ford Pinto on it's last leg. That's when I noticed the windows were tinted black; and soon after smoke started to billow out the windows. Oh no, I thought, *the ******* grilled cheese sandwich!* I ran in, coughing, my blue shirt clinging to my nose and chin; the alarm screaming  "I have seen the face of God!". I managed to make it to  the ***** grabbed all the plastic water bottles I could find and gave the stove counter top hell. After the smoke cleared, I removed the pan, threw away the sandwich and slumped like a limp sack of grains on the stool by the kitchen window. And for the rest of that day I mourned over my deceased sandwich; Oh, how well it would've paired with a bowl of Campbell's tomato soup.
