Cloud 9 ½
By: JOSH GROSSGUTH
It all started on a nice crisp day. The wind was blowing and
there was a hurricane a blowing! It seemed this day was perfect. I took a nice
stroll outside just to see what was all the clatter and definitely what was all
the matter. Just there to my surprise was a huge air balloon striped in rainbow
colors about yay high into the air. Thinking on my toes, I moonwalked right
over to the balloon and hoped inside!
Floating skyward I could see the
ground getting further from us. I would throw marbles over the edge sometimes
just to see what would happen. Anyhoot, floating almost 2000 feet into the
heavens I decided to do the unthinkable. I threw a huge rope over the edge and
to my surprise instead of it falling down it fell up! The rope went straight
and disappeared into the cumulonimbus clouds above. I decided it was time to
climb. Taking my first hand full then the next I made my way up this rope and
went right into the dark grey clouds! You may call me crazy but when there’s a
time and a place for everything.
And this was it, this was my moment.
All stood still as I climbed the rope almost as if I was In an action packed
stunt thriller of a movie everything crawling to a slow mo! Suddenly I had
reached the top and I was in the clouds. When I got there, there was a sign
that read “Cloud 9 1/2” I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, there was a
fucking cloud 9 1/2 and I was there!
Cloud 9 1/2 was not just an ordinary
cloud it was definitely one cloud higher than cloud 8, or 7 or hinkle finkle doo!
So this was It, I let go of the rope and suspended in mid air I was floating
truly on cloud nine. Everything and anything was there you name it. Michael
Jackson, Joan Rivers, I think I saw even little Elliot Gonzales. There were
clowns passing out balloons and elephants eating peanuts. What a world! Who
would of ever thought. Only just a balloon ride and rope climb away.
No I was not on drugs, this was real
and it was so real I took pictures. You better believe I had my new iPhone 6 on
me. I took the best quality pictures and you know what, I’m not to sure but when I looked into the
corner I swear there was couple having wild booty sex. I couldn’t believe it!
