Apple Bill loved Apple He had all the Apple devices: iPhones, iPads, Macs.

When the iPhone 5 came out, Bill camped overnight at the store.

When he got there to set up his , Someone pushed him to get a spot.

Bill was steaming.

And his arm ached.

Just then the Apple Store opened up Someone cut him in line.

This cost Bill an iPhone 5.

Once the line got to him, the store ran out.

Bill felt a sense of loss and went home sad.

Then he realized that reality was not always fair.

Remembering The sky was crystal clear.

The grass swayed in the wind.

I drove to work in my little red car.

I sat down at the brown desk in my office.

I glanced out the window.

The sky was still the empty blue, With the sun hanging in the cloudless sky.

I could feel the tension in the air, And in the sky.

The Twin Towers were standing there, tall as ever.

Then it happened.

At first I did not realize what happened.

I thought it was a mistake.

It could not have happened!

The building was burning, falling through that air, Like in slow motion.

Then I saw the second one fly in, Like a bird headed for a window.

The plane went up in flames.

I could not believe my eyes.

The firemen were running about the street, Trying everything they could.

Then the second tower fell, With the plane in burning, Smoke everywhere.

I thought everything was lost.

The Bout My opponent saluted me.

I saluted back.

We came en garde.

I heard the ref declare, En garde. PrĂŞt? Allez!

The first touch was my opponents attack, I cannot remember if I even moved.

In the second touch, I moved, and was parried with a riposte.

I did not know what to do.

The third touch brought an attack by my opponent.

This went to the break, the score 8-3.

I was losing. By a lot.

I talked to my coach, And he suggested that I be more aggressive off of the en garde line.

The referee started the bout again.

In the first touch after the break, I did a long attack and scored.

The score was 4 to 8.

I scored a few more touches bringing the score up to 8-8.

"Just 7 more touches!" I thought.

My opponent scored a few more and I scored some more.

The score was now 12-13, with me in the lead.

On the next touch, my opponent scored, With an attack au fer.

Oh no! 13-13!

Another touch for my opponent.

Then one for me.

I was clueless.

This was it.

If I lost this I would not get the gold medal.

The ref called, En garde. PrĂŞt? Allez!

I started by going backwards.

My opponent taking their time, Then I saw the pause.

I lunged at the target and scored!
