Re: Extremely Short Stories for those of you with Extremely Short Attention Spans

Julie's last pair of scissors finally broke and she couldn't repair them. She went to the local fabric store and bought the largest, best built scissors they had. When she gets home she tries to open the package to get the scissors out but the package was made of thick clear death plastic. She tried opening the package with her teeth but only manage to chip a tooth. She then tried to open the package with a kitchen knife but she broke the blade of the knife. Julie thought, "How can I cut through the death plastic?, I know! Perhaps I could use some large, well built scissors.!"
