"Brothers and sisters. We are here today to witness the birth of a new sun. A sun whose light will guide us to our salvation. Now, let us begin with our ritual. Step forward, my child..."

"Yes, Father Maxwell."

"Good. Very good. Your time to ascend has come. To ascend to a level of greatness no one has ever tried to imagine. Now, take this knife and eradicate your sins..."

"WHAT?! NO THIS CANT BE TRUE?!"

"What do you think you are doing you, impudent child. Are you refusing our great creator just so you could be low filth in the ground."

"NOOO!  PLEASE NO! MOTHER HELP ME!"

"I HAVE NO DAUGHTER. I ONLY HAVE MY CREATOR!"

"NO! MOTHER! PLEASE! NOO..."

"Noah, Noah. Wake up..."

"NO, PLEA---, huh."

"Are you okay, Noah?"

"Oh, Uncle Pryce. It's just you."

"Nightmares, again?"

"Yup!"

"You really should stop staying up until late at night Noah. Anyways, get dressed and come downstairs. It's your first day of the job right? "

"OMG! I totally forgot. Why didn't you wake me up sooner?! Jeez, Uncle Pryce."

"HEY! Its not my fault that you only live to sleep ya know... I'm waiting for you downstairs."

I rushed at the closet trying to find something good to wear. I was literally throwing away anything I didn't like. Where are the good clothes when you need them? That's when I heard a woman's voice shouting from downstairs:

"Noah, Eiffel is here to see you."

Great, just great. Now the dum- dum is here.

"Just a minute, Auntie."

I quickly grabbed a shirt that was hiding at the end of the closet and a pair of jeans and went rushing downstairs.

"And, here I am.", I said to everyone downstairs.

 Uncle Pryce was sitting on his usual chair eating, pancakes(yes, so much win), Aunti was at the kitchen counter and right in front of me was the dumbest person in the world.

"Hey Noah, next time try to be even more late, OK?", Eiffel said trying to sound sarcastic.

"Oww, what's the problem, Eiffel? Did I interrupt your tiny little life in your tiny little brain?", I said taunting him.

"Well, first of all, stop calling me Eiffel. My name is Richard. Jesus, its been 4 years now. And second just because  I'm your best/only friend doesn't mean that you are going to talk to me as you want.", Eiffel said.

"Oh come on big boy. You are tall, slim just like Eiffel Tower. That's why I call you that.", I said to him with a large grin on my face.

"That's it. I'm done. I'm outta here. Chief I'm waiting for you at the place. Hopefully, she would be less loud there.", Eiffel said while looking at my uncle.

"Ok, go ahead, Rich.", Uncle Pryce said.

"Bye, pal see you later.", I said while waving at him. 

He waved me back and went out. I then went to the table where some delicious pancakes were waiting to be exterminated by my mouth...

"So, Noah. Today is your big day, right?", Uncle Pryce said.
