The life of a Football

Title of this personal narrative: The life of a football
Main theme: Footballs live horrendous lives
Perspective: 1st person perspective (football)
Main storyline: (Below...)

Do you know why soccer balls live the most horrendous lives in the world? Have you ever spared a thought when you pumped the soccer ball up to field? Well, if not, I'll tell you how it feels. When you kick me, I feel pain. You know pain? No? Well, pain basically means pain. Now, you definitely understand. The unbearable pain as if you get punched by someone right at your stomach. Still feel that that's not sadistic enough? When you pump the ball high up into the sky, I feel a sudden pain in my stomach. Pain. You know pain? No? Well, pain basically means pain. No? Still not bad enough? Well, the worst thing that can happen to a soccer ball is DEATH. You know death? No? Death means the act to be dead. Well, if you are not sure how soccer balls can die, here's prove...

Here is a typical picture of a soccer ball lying on it's death bed. Nothing can be done to save it from the drastic truth - death.

This is another picture of a dying soccer ball from another angle. Death is imminent...

And when the deathbed (the hand) abandons the poor soccer ball, this happens. The ball has only the floor to rest on as he waits for his departure...

Andd..... finally, the time comes. The ball has no more energy, no more strength, no more nothing to withstand his pain and this is what happens...

And the ball is being carried to the place where he shall rest forever.... It is.... the chair (see the red chair?)

And let us pay our last respects to the ball... the ball which helps but asks for no returns....

Ladies and Gentlemen, let us learn from our lesson. Let us not torture soccer balls anymore. They, like us, can feel pain. They, like us, have a livelihood. Make lives easier for soccer balls. COUNTRYMEN, LET US RALLY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO SOCCER BALLS!!!
