I Love My Life
It's been a few years since I joined this group. It's a group of penguins that live in the central park zoo. They say I'm the options guy, and I'm ok with that. The leader of the group is named Skipper, the youngest of the group is Private, and the explosives guy is Rico. Well we can call him that. My name? My name is Kowalski. I never intended on joining this group. But I did, I did because they did something that nobody else had done for me. I wished my brother had been the one to do it. Then I would have stayed in his group. But he didn't. He left me there to die. If my brother had seen what they did for me, if he had seen how wrong what he did was. Then maybe my brother would understand why I decided to join Skipper, why his whole team had decided to join Skipper. And now he was the one who was left, but nobody, would come to save him.
I was young, couldn't have been any older than Private. My brother led a group of penguins that were very similar to my current group. We saved many animals. From buses, and badgers, from any known threat there was. My brother, Theodore, was the leader. The team was me, Theodore, Manfredi, and Johnson. We did all the big helping missions, we were unstoppable. Until Blowhole can around. He escaped our grasp continually, over, and over. We could not catch him. Theodore got angry. He blamed me, and the rest of the team. He said we had to step it up. We went after Blowhole one last time. We had nearly got him, but again blowhole was prepared. This time he set off the self-destruct button. All I remember was the floor cracking. And I fell. I had managed to grab hold of the side of the floor, and I called for help. My cries rang out. And Manfredi tried to save me. Theodore told him he would get me, to go and save himself. That's when he looked at me. "You were a disgrace anyway" And he ran. My heart basically broke at that point, and I felt myself slipping. That's when a flipper grabbed mine.
Skipper had saved me that day. He, Rico, and Private were also not good friends of Blowhole. They had come when the heard his place falling apart, but before they had left they had saw him. They had still been pretty young but Private was still a chick, he said he had been scared to death. When Skipper heard why nobody had come to help me he was infuriated. We went out to get my brother. When we got there apparently Theodore had told Manfredi, and Johnson he couldn't grab me and I slipped. Manfredi and Johnson were infuriated. That's when we all joined Skippers team. Theodore was left there. Truthfully I don't care. Manfredi and Johnson died today. They had only been in Skippers group for a few years but they had said how much they had liked it in the group. It's a little empty without Manfredi and Johnson, Private doesn't much remember them, but I always will. The options guy. That's me. I'll never be able to repay Skipper and his team, which is why I'll never leave them. Skipper and I don't always get along, but we usually don't fight for to long. He uses Manfredi and Johnson as examples to work harder, because of all they've done and the one mistake they had made. Overall I think I like my life here. Even with the loneliness I might feel without Manfredi and Johnson, I have made a close connection with Private, Rico, and Skipper. And to tell you the truth, I love my life
