Blue Dress Inspired

                 The gift was not what I expected. The box was heavy, dense, and hard to lift. About the size of a microwave, the box wiggled inside of the wrapping paper as I tried to finagle it closer to me. I took a moment to observe it and ponder the possibilities. My mind came up blank and curiosity came over me. I ferociously attacked the box ripping it open before I could think twice. I surprised when I saw hundreds of small pouches labeled "Emergency Drinking Water". I knew right away my dad was the one who had picked this out for me. Thanks to his suspicions of the world soon coming to an end, I know I will never die of dehydration.
