Dying to be Different

There once was a little rock, who lived along the sea. He looked around and noticed everyone looked the same. His mom and dad and brothers and sisters and friends all looked the same. They all had the same ocean water splashed onto them, the same dust blown onto them, even animal urine and feces and 99% empty beer bottles thrown at them for amusement.

Joey always asked his parents why rock dont have "color".....they said rocks are ugly, will alwats be ugly, and its impossible for a rock to be colorful. Joey was devestated.

Then one evening shortly before the sun set, the little rock "joey" held his breath while a group of drunk idiots urinated on him. The foolish teenagers had ingested a lot of alcohol, so they urinated for a long time on poor joey. Joey was holding his breath longer than he ever had, and was furious!

Suddenly, little Joey noticed his pale colorless exterior started turning into a beautiful rosey red. He was so excited! Finally he was colorful and different! He continued to hold his breath, but focused on how much he loved his sister, and an additional color was born.....a soft, beautiful blue.

Then from out of the depths of hell, a huge merciless wave crashed onto the rocks and vilolently killed all of the drunk teenagers urinating on little Joey. Joey again held his breath and thought of the relief he suddenly had, and a soothing green appeared on his chiseled little rock body.

Little Joey stayed up all night and envisioned his emotions, held his breath, and exploded with colors.

Right before the morning sun rose, Joey tried with all of his might to impress everyone, by holding his breath forever, when he sadly burst, and blood ran out of his little body, and spilled down the letters he created.

It read, "I'm colorful, I'm different".
