Trauma Means Drama (in a very awkward way)

by Ayana Alamgir, age 9

Author’s Note: In this story, “humans” is spelled “hubans.” “Banksgiving” is actually “Thanksgiving.”

Narrator: One day, there was a fat turkey named Dr. Mildew. Dr. Mildew will now share his dreadful experiences being a turkey.

Dr. Mildew: Pak Pak! Today is the day the noisy hubans come, grab turkeys (like me) and kill them. This day is known as Banksgiving and . . .

AHHHHHH!!!!!!

Narrator: I will finish ze story! As you know, Dr. Mildew got grabbed by a hot looking couple that were sooo rich. The woman had red lipstick and short shorts, a crop top that said “OOPSIES,”, and a leather jacket and leather gloves, followed by a handsome gentleman who looked and dressed preposterous. “Darling, you want to get that turkey?” she said, pointing at him.

“Yes, snookums,” he said, giving her a big lip smack.

Now Dr. Mildew is grabbed by one leg and gets hung til his head feels numb and dies a very dreadful death.*

*Even though he’s dead he has trauma from hubans!

To be continued…
