Warning has dramatic scenes, read with caution, Asher Jacob presents to you… THE “PERFECT” MORNING 9/17/2026 8:40 in the morning on a perfect Thursday… “Asher, time to wake up” called the voice of my Mom, “time for school.” “Okay,” I whispered groggily. I slip out of bed with the grace of a falling turtle. I started to walk to the bathroom, with my eyes closed. Ahhhh, I don’t want to go to school. Well at least it is friday. I thought to myself. Like any other regular day, I brushed my teeth, flossed, used mouth washed, used deo, and changed. Then I took my sweet time going down the stairs. I sat down on the stairs sleepy and if I could just sleep right here, it would be beautiful. I closed my eyes and thought about the dream I had. It was about me falling off my bike. Na, it was just a dream. Well back to the dream world I go . “Asher, are you trying to get to school late?” My mom shouted from her room. Oh, yeah school. I grabbed my backpack which I pack the other day and ran the door not before yelling, “BYE!” I rushed to my bike and started to peddle away from the house and towards the school. 8:55 in the morning, heading towards school… The cold air rushed past me as I biked. But then I heard a voice from behind me calling my name. I whipped my head around looking for the caller of that voice. It was my friend, Yuvraj. “Lets go.” said Yuvraj We started to move on our bikes towards the trail, but as we were. I spotted the red backpack of my friend, Gothum. “Gothum, wait for us.” I called out. We started to catch up to him, because he was biking slowly now. When we reached him we said hi and he said hi and we continued biking to school. Finally we reached the trail I thought in relief. Ahh the sun feels so nice. Today is a perfect day to play football. This day is going to be amazingly awesome. “Lets go, lets go, lets go!” I yelled happily. I started to bike faster and faster. “ Okay it's 9:00, I think we are going to reach school easily” Gotham exclaimed. I replied to gotham “ Yay, today is going to be awAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…” 9:00 in the morning, 5 seconds later soaring in the sky… 5 seconds ago, I was saying how amazing today was going to be, now I am 4 ft in the air about to fall and crash. Like a car going up a ramp and coming down crashing. Well, this is going to hurt, I thought frantically, seeing the floor coming closer and closer. I hit the ground. Nothing happened. Then I felt it. The pain shot from my face to my body, like a fire consuming dry wood. PTUU! I spat out dirt and blood out of my mouth. Blood came out of the gashes on my legs and arms, my face and my mouth. But something felt missing in my mouth. But then the puzzle piece clicked in place and I screamed. I screamed like I was dying. An ear splitting scream which could have broken the sound barrier. I screamed until I was out of breath and more. I could hear my friends trying to figure out what was wrong. But all I could manage to say was… “Call my Mom!” I choked out. I knew they wanted more information but those words where all could manage. I tried sitting up but I failed miserably. “Hello, this is Yuraj and Asher just fell off his bike. Can you come pick him up? You will see us on the Martian trail.” he told his watch. Like magic my mom appeared on the road as the blue highlander. “ASHER” she yelled, “ you are okay, baby.” She hurried over and picked me up. “Baby, everything will be okay,” she said, but you could hear that she was not convinced. “ Let's go home okay.” She helped me walk to the car. After I entered the car, she went to get my bike. “MOM, look at my smile,” I joked when she came into the car, “ It looks funny right?”She gasped at the sight of my jagged teeth. “ Your front teeth are broken, I can see the nerve of one of your teeth” she exclaimed with fear. “It's fine, I guess, I need to keep on going, you know?” I replied. As these words came out of my mouth, I closed my eyes hoping the darkness would keep the pain away. Thank you for reading this story by Asher Jacob THE END
