Risks

I am taking a risk right now by typing this post. At this very moment, the desk could fall apart, and I will have nowhere to hide if there is an air raid. I have air raid drills in the middle of class sometimes, just to be on the safe side, but my teachers don't understand. They take points off of my participation grade, but I figure that it's better to not die in an air raid than have bad participation. One time there was an actual air raid in school, but everyone went outside instead of hiding under their desks (they would have known to do this if they had been practicing like me). Everyone thought I pulled the alarm, but I didn't.

There are risks with everything, like wearing bubble wrap, which I've done several times. If you wear it too long, you can get gangrene from not allowing your skin to breathe. I had to get my foot amputated, and now I have a wooden one. I get literal shin splint(er)s, and people call me peg leg. It really hurts me because I'm afraid of pirates. Pirates probably have a lot of gangrene, but not because they wear bubble wrap. Also, some people think it's safe to wear aluminum foil hats, but if you wear them in the middle of summer, it gets really hot and, like me, you can get heat stroke and a terrible rash. I'm still afraid of having my brain controlled by the government, so I made a suit of lead because of its ability to protect you from x-ray radiation. I got some pretty bad chemical burns from it.
