• Hey my name is Timmy, Timmy Drop. I live on Strado Street in Cloudtopia, a real rough place to live, nothing but gangs and violence. I’m part of the South Side Cloud Gang, SSC. Me and some homey’s got the idea that we’re going to do a drop on Orlando, FL. We’re going to do the drop at 6:00 PM, when most people are home and outside. We ran the idea by our gang’s O.G. and he all was for it. The next day, while we’re getting strapped and ready to go, my best friend, J.C, Johnson Cumulus, says “Yo, Timmy ready for dis?” and as I answer “Ya” the clock hits 6:00. I was the first to jump into the foggy abyss. That was the last I heard from my homey’s. It felt like I was falling for hours in that white cloud of nothingness. Finally I broke though the cloud and saw the earth below me; I still couldn’t see my friends. Could I have been knocked off course by the wind, or could they have? All I know was that I was falling and falling fast, I had to pick my target. Below I saw this weirdo in some kind of green suit. He was the only real good target in reach, so I picked him. He was running around like some water drop after to much rain juice, a cheap beer sold at the bar next to my house, it was really quite funny watching him running around with his arms wide open thinking he was a plane. Man, I hate those things, they always have to fly through my part of town and tear everything up, all the more reason to hit him. As I was getting closer I noticed some other water drops, the RDC, or Rain Drop Core, our cities elite Core of rain drops. Man I hope they don’t see me, doing a “drop” is illegal for civilian drops to do. Thankfully luck is on my side, they haven’t seen me yet. But then it happens, I heard a RDC yelling at me “Hey you stop now, hey halt!”. Falling as fast as I could, trying to beat the RDC to the ground, I said to myself “I ain’t goin to get caught, got to get away from the po-po.”. I took aim and hit the kid in the head causing him to loose his footing and fall , right were I hit the ground, causing him to fall on top of me, blocking me from the RDC. Well, the kid was crying, he must of hit a root or something, I don’t know, anyways as I’m pulling myself back together I look up and wondered, how the heck am I going to get back up there, and not get caught? Moms always said “When you are down there, my son, and you want to come back up, find a hot place were the Sun can hit you, and you’ll soon be back here”. Hmmm, just how the heck am I going to do that, I’m in the middle of a stupid field. How am I going to find a hot place for the sun to turn me to vapor and take me back up to Cloudtopia? I tried to climb up a blade of grass to get a better look around, but I kept slipping off the blade, so I set off in one direction. I figured, if I head one way I would have to hit something hot. As I was walking though the grass, I heard someone behind me shout “HALT!” I looked back and saw that the RDC was onto me, I had to get out of there quickly. I wasn’t going to jail so I ran away as fast as I could, I had to hide. I ran for what seemed like forever, and then I saw a clearing and ran for that. As I ran into the clearing, I fell into blackness. When I hit the bottom, I saw that I was in some kind of tunnel, there where more RDC everywere, but they were running down the tunnel, but why? I followed them hoping to find a way out. I saw a RDC Officer leaning on wall just standing there. My ticket out, I ran to him as fast as I could, jumped up and kicked him in the head and knocked him out, then I stole his clothes. Dressed up like a RDC I walked along the tunnel like the other officers. We walked for hours, up, down, all kind of ways. Then without warning the tunnel got real small, and we had to walk one by one. Soon light popped out in the distance and a real strong wind blew us off our feet, and at the light, which turned out to be holes. I fell straight though one of them and was falling straight at the fool I hit earlier. Just now he isn’t wearing anything. Oh no, I’m going to hit him, which I did, and had to role down him, oh man the worst five minutes of my life, but I rather not get into it. I hit the ground and followed the others down yet another hole. I’m starting to hate holes, they seem to lead to bad places, into more darkness. About an hour later I saw some light ahead of us. I left the flight and run as fast as I could to that light, I didn’t even heard the guards yelling at me to stop. I ran out onto this big black rock with a yellow line going down the middle of it. “THE HOT PLACE” I yelled, and before I know it, I was bubbling, and then I turn into what Mom calls steam and was floating up. I saw the Cloudtopia. HOME!! When I got back up to the city, I turned back into a drop. I was in the east side, two miles from my house. East Side Clouds turf, I need to get out of here quick. I called a taxi to take me back to the hood. When I got there it was night time, and my homey’s we’re out playing bones. I paid the taxi driver and said hey to my homey’s, walked up to my house and went in. I said hi to Mom and went to my room and when to bed, today was a good day.
    The End
