I wonder

I'm going to preface by saying sometimes we as humans can think of some pretty messed up things. Also, epilepsy is a serious disorder and is nothing to laugh about. Without further ado (let's be honest though, no one can tolerate plain old ado let alone further ado), I present to you a little story that I wrote; well, a story that I'm about to write, right now. It might be sad.

Very Unfortunate Viola

A long time ago in the 1980s, Viola was just a little girl. Sylvia, Viola's mother, had to bring Viola to work with her down town at the Ballroom; because her babysitter a.k.a. father just got locked up. The Ballroom was a nice little erotic discotheque in the heart of a dangerous city. The whole night Sylvia thought that Viola was content just sitting there wide eyed, shaking out of beat to the music. It could have been because of the cocaine debris floating in the air. But no, it was due to the sight of the spinning discoballs which caused Viola to have a seizure. That was the first and last time that Sylvia brought Viola to the discotheque; because of the dangerous disco balls of course.

Later on in life when Viola was a teenager, she met a goth kid named Zachariah. She could relate to his dark interior which mirrored his dark exterior and his eye liner. However, one day Zachariah started going to the technotheque: a techno club. He changed his name to Zak and started dressing in fluorescent colored clothes. Oh, and he dyed his hair a very vibrant coral color. One day Zak asked Viola, "Do you want to see something cool?" Viola replied, "No." But Zak(ariah) showed her anyway. He whipped out two glow sticks and started spinning them around like he was a jester on crack. Viola immediately dropped to the ground and had a seizure. That was the last time Viola saw Zak.

When Viola was in her twenties, she moved to a nice little suburb and started her life over. She met a nice guy named Nick. One night Nick brought Viola to the highest peak in the town. Nick said, "I have something special to show you." Nick reached into his pocket. Viola said, "Dear God no." Nick pulled out a small nautical spyglass telescope and a map. "I mean, dear God, no...one has ever showed me something this special" said Viola. Nick looked into the sky with the telescope. "I had a star named after you. Here, take a look" said Nick. Nick handed Viola the telescope. She looked up into the sky and saw the most beautiful, twinkling star. Then she had a seizure. That was the last time she saw Nick.

One day Viola finally found happiness and true love. Her boyfriend Lionel brought her to a park where they had a picnic. The sky was blue and the sun bursted with joyful little rays of fire and passion. When the time was right Lionel got down on one knee, pulled out a huge sparkling diamond ring and said, "Viola. Will you marry me?" Viola smiled and stared at the sparkling diamond ring. Lionel endured a long and awkward pause. Lionel exclaimed, "Ouch. I think I'm kneeling on a rock. Haha...So...Oh my God! Are you having a seizure?" Viola didn't answer Lionel because yes, she was having a seizure. When Viola came out of it, Lionel was right there by her side. Viola looked up at Lionel and said, "Yes. I'll marry you. Because no discoball, glow stick, shining star, or sparkling diamond ring can stop true love." They kissed long and passionately. Then they lived happily ever after.
