Michel & Josette
Chapter 19: A Series of Unfortunate Events
So it began…
Michel left his apartment one stormy night, surprised at himself that he'd actually go out into the storm like this! It was raining cats and dogs outside!
But he had to see Josette!
There was no stopping him!
Nope!
Michel slammed his apartment door shut behind him and scurried along the streets of Paris, France.
"I can't wait to see Josette!" he sang to himself as he made his way across the street, having no idea of where to look first!
Suddenly, he tripped over his own feet, falling face first into a large, deep puddle of rain water.
Michel groaned and got to his feet, rubbing his face and spitting out dirty, rain water. "Well, that's just great!" he hollered, looking down at his clothes. His voice was dripping with sarcasm.
He shook his head and carried on, not wanting to be deterred from finding his wonderful Josette.
Michel made his way through an alleyway, but was immediately jumped by three thugs.
"Get out of my way!" Michel cried.
"No," one of them growled like a hungry lion.
Michel, getting extremely uneasy, began backing away, getting soaked with rain water and whatnot because of the heavy rain.
"Give us all your money!" the second one demanded, holding out a giant, harry hand.
"What? No way!" Michel snapped loudly, giving the trio a contemptuous look that held no kindness.
And then…
…the three men destroyed him.
Thirty minutes later, Michel lay on the dirty ground of the alleyway, beaten and bruised by the ugly thugs. He groaned and sat up, realizing that he had just been robbed.
"Darn it all to heck!" Michel yelled up to the sky like a madman.
But was he going to stop looking for Josette?
No way!
Michel pushed himself to his feet and fled the alleyway, continuing his glorious journey for his perfect and wonderful Josette!
But, suddenly, he realized that he had no idea of where she lived!
Michel stopped in his tracks.
He brought a hand up and slapped it on to his face in a hard facepalm.
Why were unfortunate things only happening to him?!
