Short+Story

While taking a swim in a nearby lake I was suddenly trapped in a whirlpool. I fought as hard as a could but it continued to pull me under, I hit my head on a large rock and I blacked out. AH! I woke to find myself in a large glass of water, I'm getting pelted with ice cubes! No longer was I swimming in a lake but a giants' beverage! OH GOD! I'm being swallowed! As I'm falling down his throat I manage to squeeze myself through the cell membrane of a cell, saved from an untimely death. As soon as I'm inside I have to run from the large snakes of DNA that were trying to escape the nucleus. I found what I thought to be a safe place behind the mitochondria, then it's jaws came to life and tried to swallow me whole as if I were food from the cell! All of this is draining my energy, but if I don't get away the mitochondria will turn me into energy for the cell. I found myself nearly tangled in the lysosomes, I must have ran into the wrong direction, I didn't want to be digested! Without any time to loose and only 2 ways to go I went towards the nucleolus and once I went through the painful process of being turned into protein, I was transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. I thought for sure I was a goner, especially when the Golgi sent me flying all across the cell, then it flung me out of the cell, out of the giants mouth and back into the water. I suddenly awoke being smothered by people. "OH NO! Not the ribosomes, I am not Mrna and I do not wanted to be translated into protein!" I shouted. At once everyone lauhed, and I had relized it was all a dream!
