Life changers

I wake up to the sun greeting my face with its presence."ugh" I walk down the half broken steps and switch on the television. "Tired of having a plain and basic life? Are you constantly jealous of the luxurious life that others are living and you're not? Try our new life-changing pills! These pills will change your life instantly after one dose! It could be yours just for 19,660! Order now before it's all sold out!" I roll my eyes. Every commercial has been the same for the past few days, it is either buy this or buy that."Do people actually purchase these?" "What a hoax." I walk passed the empty pizza boxes, old ramen noodle bowls, soda cans, and step into the kitchen and make myself something to eat. I call my boyfriend nathan,"hey, what are you doing?" he asks me joyfully. "Nothing much" The microwave pops a few times before going out completely."stupid microwave " he laughs, "have you seen them commercials about the pills?" I sigh and roll my eyes, "not a day go by without me seeing that." he goes silent for awhile. "oh I got to go, the dog is peeing on the floor again." I hang up and walk to my room and get ready for bed. Though I am ready to rest, my mind is wide awake. "my life is not getting any better, is this my opportunity?" I say as I think about the commercial feom earlier.The next day I wake up and get ready for work. Posters and billboards flood the town with the new product. "you have got to be kidding me..." Other businesses were struggling to stay on the grid because of the new product was the talk of the town. " I'm glad it's not me" I walk up to the building and the door and… it is out of business. "you have really got to be kidding me right now..." I stormed my way back to my apartment until something caught my attention. I stared around the streets and everyone was living better than me. Old man Jean was even rocking some new sneakers I have never seen before. Miss Mary finally found herself someone who would marry her. I walked the rest of the way home and pondered. " is it really worth it? do these people know what they are getting themselves into?" I look at the princess painting I drew on the ceiling. "That should be me." I deserve to be living better than this."
