ENTER MOONEY
He awoke to a bright summers morning, the sun was shining through the broken shards of glass. Mooney looked for his alarm clock, but he forgot that he didn't have one, for his family was far too poor for luxuries like that. His mom came in carrying tea for breakfast, he was very thin as all he could drink was tea, he was lactose intolerant and for eats he had bread crumbs, but a seagull flew through his broken window and beat him to his meal. Mooney cried inside, he hated being poor. He rolled out of bed and fell on the solid splintery floor of faded polished wood.
Mooney felt pain as a splinter sliced through his pale rounded flesh he began to pick it out, as this was a regular occurrence. Mooney walked through the bitten out door, his dog was very hungry as they could not afford dog food. Mooney glanced at the scar on his leg from last time he encountered his fiendish pet. Some people would wonder if his dog attacked him because he resembled a bone, all white, pale and thin.
Mooney was excited because his best friends the twins Jadie and Adie were coming over today. The first time he had them over he recalled that they passed by his house thinking it a garage. How could they not tell that this beautiful palace of rotting stinking wood was actually his home. He was very pleased that they actually accepted coming over again after the last time. Mooney decided to put on his old nikey shirt, or at least what was left of it. He looked in a broken mirror at the tattered material he was sporting and thought this made him look very good.
Several hours later he heard the knock, as there was no doorbell whatsoever, heck there wasn't even a door. From the powerful strong knock one of his old trustworthy walls collapsed and crushed his mother.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,"yelled Mooney to his only loved one. His Father had been eaten by the dog two weeks ago, he had barely recovered over that. Now he was left alone in this heart wrenching world without anyone at all. Adie and Jadie proceeded to invite themselves in, unaware of the damage they had done. A shoe or what they thought was a shoe flew by their heads and an angry pale looking Mooney stormed over towards them.
" YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!!" he cried in anguish.
Adie and Jadie ran away out the door that wasn't there. Mooney was now left utterly and completely alone, or so he thought. He heard snarls from his grandma who had just arrived in a jet plane which he did not hear.
"Wow Grandma, I didn't hear you come in!"
Little did he know his grandma had experienced a ferocious bite from his Chihuahua, Noodles who had recently come down with rabies and had passed it on to grandma. He wished he had some noodles. His grandma advanced on the poor half naked Mooney, as he was only wearing his nikey shirt and his power ranger undies from last night. Mooney hoped his beyblade pair would soon be dry. Mooney fled in sadness from the room as his Grandma smelt like old lilacs gone bad and spit as she was foaming at the mouth. He noticed that in her purse was his dog, noodles. He ran down the hill to a wishing well and through himself in for his afternoon bath.
Mooney stayed in until he was nice and wrinkly, he though his clothes were all polished and clean now that he had wet them. Mooney wished he owned a pair of pants as he was locally made fun of, he hated going to school, especially since he couldn't afford the uniform. A mile away Mooneys eye caught the gleam of a glistening copper penny and went running to get it. He picked it up cleaned of the filth and ran back to his wishing well, a speck of dirt had befallen on his knee so he ran back in to bathe.
Mooney looked adoringly at his new found riches, he wondered how much he could do and how far he could go with such a massive amount of currency. Mooney sighed and looked up at the stars thinking everything would be alright from now on. Just as he was getting comfortable a magpie came and snatched away his penny as the glint had caught his eye(even though it was night time) Mooney decided he needed a job as he had no life before him. He went out in search in dark areas of the wilderness and spotted a young girl crying.
Little did he know that his face was lighting up the areas around him, he had a radioactive complexion afterall. The young girl looked up and said hello Mr.Moon! Can you help me find my way home? And Mooney did, the daughter turned out to be a ball of gas which belonged in the sky Mooney was invited to join her forever, and Mooney adapted the position of the Moon for everyone could see his happy glowing face at night times.
