The Small Angry Being

The Small Angry Being

by Perla Morillo

Hi yea. You there, yes you, the one who’s reading this story about me!! I am Molly. Ummm people see me as a mean person, umm, I am short but I don’t know why sometimes I throw things at people and then laugh at them. So they see me as a very aggravating person but I have a high curiosity about things. My mother Lola says that being very nosy can get me into problems at times and, well, she’s right because I should mind my business at all times. But it’s, like, me being Curious George. For those of you who don’t know, Curious George is a kid show. It’s about a man with a yellow hat that has a monkey; they are best friends. There are times where George gets curious about things, like things that go around the neighborhood. But enough about that. Back to my mother—she is a very hard-working and determined person.

This one day at night in my backyard where my room was, I saw this light. It was magical and it was coming from the bushes. So, as I am a very curious person, I went to check it out and I saw a unicorn. I know you guys probably think I’m crazy but I saw it and it looked at me. At first it was scared, but then I said, “No, no, don’t be scared, little creature.” I don’t know if it understood me, but it came to me and sniffed my hand and it put its head to mine. As you guys know, I am short so things aren’t complicated for me when it comes to little things. When I saw this creature I had to go back to my room because my uncle woke up. So I ran to my bedroom and woke my sister up and I told her I saw it. But she didn’t believe me, so I kept insisting she come to check it out. Sadly, she came with me and she didn’t see anything, so, obviously, she thought I was crazy. The next day and it was like nothing. I went to school and I saw some kid named Ziar getting bullied and picked on and usually, I am the class bully. But when I saw him getting bullied I got very mad and stopped everything. It was like the unicorn changed me from one day to another.

However, everything went to normal, and when I got home I saw my dog and my cat arguing. How can I put this? I would hear them arguing, and angry but people thought I was crazy or I was sick. They

would literally be saying words to each other and I would talk to them to calm them down and they would argue with me. So I was like oh no, wait a minute. Then I would argue with them. So as I stay being crazy, like they pictured, I would just go on my day doing what I do. Later on, my dog Lester was barking and I thought something was wrong so I checked on him and he said he saw something white with a horn. So I ran in the house and got my camera so people could see that I was not playing around. But I never caught it so I stayed being mean and annoying and started changing everyone’s positive mood to a negative attitude. One night, my sister and I went out to see the start. Then I saw the light so I took her with me and then we saw the unicorn. It was so pretty. That was when I saw hope that I can be a better person to myself and to others. I gave my sister a big hug and said sorry for all of the things I have done.

To conclude, I know you all think that this story is supposed to be funny. I mean it is but some of it doesn’t make sense. But that’s the point. Not everything has to make sense to have a clear observation about life. My character turns out to be a person uncontrollable, but, in the end, we all learn lessons no matter what we go through to learn them. We all learn from our mistakes, and her mistake was being a person that no one waited for her to be like. But she has to learn how to value what she has no matter what is blocking her from being a better person to herself. She should always be grateful for what she has today because tomorrow it could be like if they were never there. Just like the unicorn, the sister didn’t see it at the beginning and it didn’t leave any signs or anything to show that it was there. I hope my story motivates you to learn how to be the person that you wish to be, not what others picture you to be. (My Motivation Message.) Molly said bye and thanks for listening to her side of the story. See you next time.
