Mr.Mittys Great Adventure

After Mrs. Mitty came out of the drugstore, they climbed into their automobile, Walter fastened his seat belt, turned on the windscreen wipers and carefully pulled away from the curb. As they drove out of Waterbury he noticed a pack of lions running loose. He thought to himself they must have escaped from the zoo. Mrs.Mitty started yelling and complaining about how dangerous the animals were, and how the authorities should be contacted right away. Mr.Mitty started to drift into his own world again. "Come one, come all, witness the amazing Walter Mitty and his lions!" the announcer was yelling across the arena. While Walter was pacing back and forth in his dressing room he thought to himself "what if something goes wrong this time?". He had that thought everytime before he took the stage. As he entered the dim lit arena the crowd fell silent. He was an odd site to behold, short, average looking. He did'nt look like a lion tamer. The walk towards the lions cages seemed to take forever. The great beasts were sleeping and looked peaceful. He unlocked the first cage and the other one right after. He introduced the lions to the audience, "the one on my left is Simba, the one on my right is Moofusa". Moofusa raised his giant, graceful head and yawned showing his huge gleaming teeth. Walter began to unlock Moofusa's cage, the king of beasts walked out of his cage. Simba was still peacefully asleep in his cage, he was younger than Moofusa by a couple of years. Walter went into Simba's cage and woke him up, Simba stepped out of his cage, now the two massive male lions were in the arena. The audience was in awee of theses beautiful but very deadly creatures. Walter stood up on the box in the middle of the arena and the lions followed him. He began directing them in doing tricks, they could even play fetch the audience was very entertained and kept applauding. When the final, most dangerous trick came the audience fell silent in fear, for what Walter was about to do made everyone think he was insane. He was going to put his head into Moofusas mouth! As Walter put his head in the lions huge mouth, Moofusa did'nt sit there like he usually did, this time something went wrong the jaws began to close around Walters head... "WALTER WALTER PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOUR DRIVING!!!!" his wife began to yell at him. He was glad for her interuption this time... he even did'nt want to see how that last adventure would have ended.

If I could turn back time!!!

On that dreary December night the world changed as we knew it, an amazing human being was killed, John Lennon. I would change the fact he was shot and killed, I would have intervened. In my opinion the world would be a much better place if he was still alive, he was striving for world peace. Some ignorant, twisted, lunatic "fan" named Mark David Chapman had to take his life from him on the evening of December 8th 1980, he was only 40 when he died. John Lennon was a great humanist,  he had millions of people that looked up to him. The Beatles had peace loving, anti-war lyrics which caused alot of controversy in the 60's and 70's. John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono were amazing lyracisits with a strong point they were trying to get across "world peace". People to this day are still trying to carry out his great idea of wrold peace, he would have been a great leader in carrying out these acts. Unfortunately he's no longer around it's a great sorrow.
