glenn part one

glenn was feeling angry. people always told him "u cant be angry." like one is a bad person if feels angry or did not forgive... they expected.
"hell," glen whisperd, "they accused only me but others were angry." he continued the rant in his thoughts: when others are angry at me, could i say "you are bad for being angry". what about god? god was angry and god is considerd holy despite bad anger and lack of anger management. how would you even check if god existed anyway? pause.
glen was angry for a reason. he wanted to see the animals at the zu. specificly the birds. the only time to go to the zoo is during cold weather. but his stupid stubborn parents refused to take him now, during winter vacation and insited on taking him in the summer vacation. he rememberd the summer trip when he sufferd from the heat and baked in the solar oven of the sky. the smell of animals... and worse, spread and magnified in the heat of the summer. walking under the burning sun was no "fun" vacation that was pain and suffering but his parents did not care that he sufferd in the summer. they did not care that he woulda enjoyed the cheesy za. they did not care that in the winter they could all enjoy the zoo. they were stubborn about their stupidity too. "this is not for negotiation" they would say about everything... like "this one thing"?
and glen lacked enuf money to go to the zoo when he wanted. like parents pay... so like... "we pay for your wedding so we choose whoever you will marry".
just because his name was glenn gladsteen did not mean he was always glad. luckily he had a rich frend named zoe. she had more money than he could ever need.
after the shouting match with his stubborn and foolish parents, glenn changed tactics. "i see you are right about the zoo can i have money for..." and rudely they interrupted "we spend enuf money on you... now go eat your tasteless cucumbers" well of course they did not say the word tasteless... but kukes were either tasteless or bitter. if THEY had blocked stommiks then THEY  should eat the kukes. but they hated the vejdables too... so they made him eat them... as if his eating would move THEIR clogd stommiks.
glenn was already 14 years age. he was growing taller each week. hair was growing in the natural places. the hair was like the orange color on oranges that indicated that the fruit was "ripe" and prepared already. he considerd this kuz... hell... he could freegin have his own kid ! but  his parents refused to see that he was mature already... that he could think and negotiate... they had no ears to listen to reasoning or reasons.
first he would get his way and later he would get EVEN.
glenn walkd to the frij and found the gross green kyuuks. he scrubbed and washed 3 and brought two plates each with a yuk-kyuk to his parents.
"we told you to eat it" they said in chorus. glenn told the truth "i washed 3 and shared with you". pa responded "you gotta eat all 3--dont you want one?--no. and never tell your parents to do anything--i will follow your example and not eat them either.--how dare you!" they shouted in chorus.
pa continued "no allowance for the rest of the month."
ha... that was no loss. to take away his allowance they would need to START giving one. he thought of his parents punishments. they were worse than vampires i mean every parent cherishes their child and a child is like a treasure even more precious than his favorite trophy but his parents were too wicked to see that their own child was their treasure.
as he turned to carry the yuks to the table, pa added "and now you need to wash two extra plates".
glenn EXPLODED. he HISSED between teeth pressed together "you mean i need to sweap..." as he lifted the plates hi... over his hed as the green vejjies slid off... and threw the plates down on the tiles of the kijjin.
SMASH. the white plates shatterd and pieces slid to every side across the kijjin.
ma waild a shreik "iyyyY"
pa hollerd "i would HIT you for that. but i cant. you will lose something you like."
on one hand he felt horror that his pa WANTED to hit him. i would never hit something that i treasured... on the other hand he was not surprised. glenn controld his voice and replied "deduct it from my allowance."
dad LOST control and stepd toward the kijjin... but luckily for pa, his wife ma grabd his arm and said "i will report you to the five-oh if you hit him."
pa stormed toward the door of the house. glenn hoped he would never return. then ma started crying "my pretty plates you broke my pretty white plates".
glenn repeated "take the payment from my allowance".
as ma sobbed he added "jeez as if you cant buy new plates. you care more about the plates than you feel about me--how dare you ! and after i just protected you from your dad."
glenn knew she was right about that but thout: her other actions outweighed this... by far. and was it realy "a sign of lov" to stop a hit, that should not happen anyway. i mean the same as pa cant hit ma or an adult the same  for hitting any kid or me. it is the same bad action.
in a sarcastic tone glenn added "i am sorry that i ruined the pretty red pattern of the plates."
you know white plates are white.
ma turned away and before she could do anything, she heard the door open. she ran after pa as he exited the front door.
responsibly, he grabd the broom and swept the peices of plates. he heard his parents shouting from the corridor of the apartment building. all the nebbors could hear them shouting about divorce. obviously the nebbors also could hear his parents shouting when they were in the home too.
he dumped the pieces in the trash bin and added the 3 clean kukes. a new meaning for "waste, not want". next he walked to the charger of the telefone. he thout "what good is a cordless phone if you need to go to the charger each time just to find it. you may as well have a cord to force you to leave it on the charger." he presd the button and listend for the beep. the fone was in the cowj again.
glenn walked to the cowj and pulled the fone from between two cushions. his mind did not see the two pink couch cushions, instead he saw his hand slide between zoes two milkees. she was a ripe lady. he put the phone in the charger and went to stand in the shower. he pretended he was doing the action that married people do and in moments he felt better. stepping out from the shower he turned on the water and washed some new fresh white jel from the floor down the drain. some wiit jel stuck to the tile on the wall so he turned the hose to clean the tiles.
back to the fone. his parents were still hollering about divorce and ma was sobbing and pa was hollering something... "who cares whatever he said" thout glenn. he presd the code to instant-dial zoe and held it to his left ear.
far away, at the home of zoey zoben her phone rang. yes her own personal phone line. no waiting for ma to stop yammering as she did the chores. rich people had the easy life.
as he waited for zoe to respond, glenn opened the freezer. what a stupid name. the purpose was to keep stuff already frozen. but it did freeze liquids too. but that was not the main purpose and the name should be the purpose. he wonderd what name would be better. as he searched for the red box of frozen za. the box stated the obvious "frozen pizza".
he shut the ice-gaurd, and pulled on the paper to open the box but the paper just stretched. so he took a knife from a drawer and returned to the box... just then ma enterd sobbing and alone. she saw him holding the knife and EXPLODED "oh i am sorry baby... dont cut yourself... mommy will make things good again"
glenn was so shokd... he froze and dropd the knife down to the floor. before he could ask himself: why she thout he would injure himself? she was running to hug him... "gross i should be hugging my own wife at my age" he thout. but his ma hugd him and said "oh baby dont cut yourself i dont want you to get hurt". he waited for her sobbing to calm and then asked "is dad gone?" she started sobbing again but finally released her grip. "yes. i hate that he is leaving but best for us that he leave".
glenn asked "when is zaq's birthday". he knew. ma, her name was... actually had been: peggy pelton, until she married zaq gladsteen. peggy said "zaq's birthday is tmoro"--glenn added "so we wont give him cake."
that caused the desired result. ma fled from the kijjen sobbing again and did not notice the za which she forbade him from eating. when ma went to cry in her soft bed, he picked up the knife and cut the box of za. only then he heard through the phone... still pressed on his left ear... zoe's voice. "who is calling? tell me already. why are you crying". he bit back a cuss of anger that zoe had heard. everything.
should he end the call? poor zoe felt compassion for whoever was crying. glenn started to speak "hi this is glenn..." he paused not sure what he could say.
"who was crying?" she askd.--"my ma was sad kuz she is divorcing pa."
zoe replied, "for THAT they cry??  my ma has been divorced twice already. better that way."
glenn hoped he would not divorce zoe... but he was so different from his pa and from stubborn foolish ma. he hoped zoe was smarter than most girls... or he was doomed. he loved zoe but if she was stubborn he would leave.
he waited to zap the za in the quik-heater.
zoe continued as if nothing dramatic happend "so whyd you call?"
glenn could not think. he could not remember. he blurted out "i was thinking of you" and he had been.--"that is so sweet", zoe gushed. glenn recalled and addded "i wanna invite you to go with me to the zoo."--"oooh i love the animals."  unexpectedly, the phone beepd as she ended the connection. he was stund. they had not made any plans.
he slid the pizza from the box. then pulled a frozen tile out and put it on some paper. then he lay it in the quik heater. he tapd the start button once and again. the timer showed one minute and as the machine whird and began to zap the pizza, he wonderd if zoe spelled her name with a zed or a zee.
he heard a ring from the phone. like bells ringing. he presd the button and a deep male voice said his name: "glenn--yessir--i am driving zoe to your home to bring you to the birds--good, my address is 26 val street." he heard another beep as the fone switched off. no saying "good-bye."
he glanced at the quick heater and barely ten seconds had passed... still a long time until the minute would end.
meanwhile at the zoben mansion... on zobens lane... the man started the engine of the small blue car. it was a simple small car. the one that zoe had chosen as her birthday present when she had turned ten. now she was 13. he drove the car along the narrow lane between rows of pine trees still green in winter. the computer voice said "in fifty meters turn left and then left". he cusd that the computer did not say "feet". but zoe could not hear. the thik glass window was between the driver and the teen. she was watching a music video on the screen on the seat of the car. around the screen was blak plastic. she barely noticed the car turn left between two other cars into the left lane. after the second left turn, the small pale blue car moved with a zig and a zag between the other cars.
at the poor home, glenn lay the fone on the charger. the lights shined. the fone seemd happy to be getting power. he was glad too. zoe would spend the day with him at the zoo and he did not even need money for the bus!
to be continued.
