I Was Trying To Write When..........

I was trying to write when something happened. Something big! Possibly
bigger than big! I was abducted by alien gorillas from outer space!
I woke up in a prison cell on another planet. The planet seemed to be
inhabited by gorillas. Big, smelly gorillas. There was no sight of another
human. I was terrified! Some gorillas didn't have nice auras. One of the
gorillas even looked at me the way Luke Skywalker looks at Darth Vader.
Things were getting freaky! I started to think of an escape plan.
In my prison cell there was a refrigerator. I opened the fridge door with
curiosity and suspense. I don't know what I expected to see but all I saw
was bananas. I guess it was logical for bananas to be in the fridge since
the planet was over-run by alien gorillas! I was planning to distract the
gorillas with a banana but I got hungry and ate one first. All of a
sudden, I felt tingly. I had magical powers! But the banana didn't give me
the powers, the fridge did!
I used my fridge powers to teleport back to my home planet, Earth. I got
to keep my fridge powers as well. They really came in handy with the
horror we know as life. So..the end.
