Harris Burdick Story

In the early 1680's a group of kids that lived in a small village always play with each other every day. That's all that they can do really in that small village. A girl named Winney mentioned to the group "Guys, we need to come up with something different to play, all we do is okay the same old thing." Everyone looks at each other and nods their heads. "Anyone have any ideas?" Winney asked.  A dirty looking girl named Priscilla stepped up and said "I have an idea!" Winney gives her a odd look; "And what might that be?" Winney walked over to Priscilla. "Its called Musical Chairs" she said with a big smile on her face, letting out her bad breath. "how do we play that this game, Musical Chairs?" Winney asked with a puzzled look on her face. Priscilla went to the school and came back with seven chairs and put them in a circle. "Now Erick, since you're good at making random and weird noises, I'm going to have you be," she puts her fingers in air quotations. "Music and stop whenever you want." As Priscilla explained it to everyone, she looked around and everyone had confused looks on their faces because there were seven chairs and eight people were playing. Priscilla noticed everyone looked effy about this so she cleared her throat and got up on a chair and shouted "Now the reason there are only seven chairs is because when ever Erick stops making noise you have to put your butt into a chair as quick as possible." They all seemed like they got the concept of the game. They got by the chairs and Priscilla looks at Erick  and gave him a head nod for him to begin making noise. Everyone immediately starts to walk  fast around the chairs. Winney looks at Erick and he stopped making noise and everyone quickly grabbed a chair to sit in, all except for one person. That person that didn't grab a chair to sit in was Priscilla. She got so furious that she was the first one to lose because no one has ever played the game before. Everyone was laughing at her, sitting down in their chairs because her face was red as a tomato. Priscilla had it with the people in her small village. Priscilla gets in the middle of the circle and shes puts both of her hands out and slowly raises them in the hair causing the chairs everyone is sittin in to go up. The whole group went from laughing to heart racing and them screaming at the top of their lungs. Priscilla threw her arms way up in the sky, causing the chairs to sky rocket to the sky, sending all of the kids somewhere no one will know. Erick's jaw dropped and looked over at Priscilla and she turned to him with a big smile on her face. Erick began to stutter, "Where did they all go?" Priscilla answered with a smirk on her face saying, "Somewhere far far away from here. Somewhere no one will know that their there." Erick muttered, "Since no one knoes where they're are, can't you tell me where they are? I still want to know" Priscilla thinks about it for a minute and nods her head, "The first chair went to Spain! The second chair landed in Norway. The third chair went by a volcano. The fourth chair twirled on to an island. The fifth chair ended up in France. The sixth chair flew to Italy. And finally the last one ended up right next to the devil." she explained to him with a smile throughout the entire thing. Erick got all nervous and sweaty and questioned Priscilla "What's going to happen to me?" "Don't make me mad and absoultely don't tell anyone about this! You understand? Just think, what I did  to them, I can take you somewhere just as bad, maybe worse." Priscilla explained to Erick. As she explains this doom to him, she is facing the other way of him so he thought it woul be a great idea to sneak off and run off. Priscilla turned around and saw Erick run off into the distance. She reached out her hand and brought it closer to her, causing him to come towards her. She looks at him in his eyes and says "Have fun" and she throws her arms in the air sending him to the coldest place on the air. As he flew up in the sky she yells "Keep warm in the North Pole" in a laughing manner.

  1. She's not one to mess with! This kind of reminds me of the movie Carrie (there's a remake out now but the original was from the 80s, I think). It also reminds me of a funny video I saw online called "coffee shop prank" or something where they set up a coffee shop in New York and a girl gets mad and sends chairs flying and a guy flying up a wall. You should look it up. :)
