Have you ever wanted to start writing and put ‘Once Upon a Time’ at the beginning.
Once upon a time I had a window air conditioning unit.
I think that works perfect for what I did. The air conditioning unit worked well for several years, and then it quit working. I decided to pull it out of the window and fix it. ‘I don’t think I really gave any thought to how heavy the air conditioner could be. I opened the window, and I tried to steady the air conditioner. Unfortunately, once it started to teeter on the edge, I was finished. I tried to hold on to the AC unit, but I had to make the choice to go out the window with it, or let it fall to the ground. Had it been a lower floor window, I may have tried to make the save, but it was on the second floor. I held onto the air conditioner for as long as I could, but I had to let go. I watched as it fell to the ground. I could almost see it bounce before it landed and stayed still. It made a deep rut in the ground because it had been raining. I was in tears as I realized the AC was broken beyond repair, due to my stupidity. I knew my husband wasn’t going to let me live down my latest blunder of destroying the air conditioner. I considered running away from home. In the end, I pretended that the AC unit had just fallen out of the window, knowing he wasn’t going to believe me.
