The Usual

. . . .

   Nothing unusual is aloud here. no un-sunny day's without warning, no sudden bolts of lightning, they are all planned. It isn't unusual that everything is usual in the land of The Usual, because you see, years ago everything was unusual, so unusual that Professor U. (U. standing for Usual) took over so everyone would be happy and know what would happen for the rest of every ones life's.
   His first order of business was to assure everyone that he would always be there to make the usual happen, so he sent his four best usual scientists to figure out a formula that would keep him alive until the end of The Usual. He and his Scientist tried many different formulas to see which would work the best and keep him alive the longest and for how long he pleased. They finally found one and it didn't take long before a hundred-fifteen years pasted and I was born. I'm Shelly Houly, I have one younger sister and she is 6 years old. She was always called by my name when i was younger, and i was called by her name because of the similarity in our faces and bodies. Yet, she and I are almost 5 years apart. We both are curly black haired, pale skinned, green eyed children. I'm a usual 5' 1" and I have two happily married parents, and I can't complain that my life isn't perfect.

Shelly didn't understand what was really going on, she only saw what was right in front of her. Soon she will not only see what is around her but she will have to see for everyone else, too.
