Hey guys, considering i suck at creative writing does anyone have any ideas where my pathetic story can go from here..
P.s i know its crap. Dont laugh hahahah
As a bunch pedestrians casually strolled by and the heavy traffic passed it could clearly be seen that a nations pride could be represented in several sizes, shapes and forms through the sidewalk shop on Mately St. As I ecstatically entered, I observed that it was filled with a vast number of belongings sharing the same common colours. From a small flashing key ring, to a beach towel placed against a white backdrop next to the summer swimwear. To the left, placed slightly lower in reaching distance were cricket bats and hats, a few more added cultural icons that helped the shop’s atmosphere to scream Australian Day is here.
My journey to join the nationalistic madness this January 26th began as I arose from my king single bed as the irritating Indian Minor birds sang there songs of sorrow. My powerful feelings of being an Aussie on this day had escalated. As a 17 year old female surrounded by family and friends sharing the pride and joy of being an Australian, I new there was no better way to celebrate than physically showing my Proud attitude in Australia Day gear.
My previous retail experience pressured me into asking the shop assistant for some help. “Excuse me, Hi. I was just wondering if I could grab a helping hand for a second”. His name badge from a distance seemed to spell Jim, but as the gap between us closed I realised I was quite largely mistaken. I opened my mouth again making sure my manners were present “John, you look like a nice Aussie bloke. Do you think you could help me find a few things? Im kind of in a rush.” He replied quietly with a “Sure”. John didn’t seem too confident from the outside. An adolescent child maybe 14 or so, unfortunately in the stages of fighting teenage acne. We all know how it feels. “Okay so I was after some green and gold zinc, an Australian hat, maybe a flag will come in handy, and how about some of those fancy Aussie flagged thongs and ill definitely be needing a pack of stick on tattoos”. John’s facial expressions were as though an imaginary list was being ticked of one by one in his head.
