The Short Life Of an Unfortunate Egg.

Oh no, oh no, oh no! I watch in horror as the human gets ready to thrust the pan upward. He chuckles to his 3 daughters who are watching me intently. I brace myself.

As if in slow motion, the human throws the pan upward, and I go flying. Well, he put too much thrust into it, and I land with a splat, sticking to the ceiling. The humans look up at me for a second, bemused, then start to laugh. I cry gooey tears, but they don’t notice. My yolk drips downwards, gravity and sadness doing their work.

Eventually, I become too heavy and begin to peel off of the ceiling. Again, the humans don’t notice; they've given up on me and started to fry my buddy, Charles. I send him a silent prayer. I figure I should be praying for my own life right now, but I don’t have time.

All of a sudden, I’m plummeting towards the tile floor, screaming, but nobody can hear me. Except Charles. I catch his horrified eyes as I finish my descent, and explode on the tile.
