The Death of the Pepsi Man

One day while lost in the vast woodlands of Scotland, I came upon a pop

machine, I had no money, and because of my strong moral values, I felt I could

not force it open with a stick or break it with a rock, because that was wrong.

As I sat there leaning against it, I pondered how I could get a refreshing can

of pop. I got up and looked around to find a coin or a bill that someone might

have left or lost. After five or six hours I gave up, no one had dropped

anything that I could find. By this time it was now nightfall, so I slept

leaning against this oasis. While asleep, I had a wonderful dream of this pop

machine. I dreamed that it opened up and asked me to indulge in a cold

refreshing drink. Another dream I had was where every five minutes the machine

gave me a can from now until eternity.

When I awoke I jumped up and turned around to see if any of the dreams

were true. I quickly saw that they were not. I decided that I could not leave

this place until I had enjoyed a can of pop. By the 3rd day, I had to scout for

food and water because I was feeling malnourished. As I walked around I found a

snack machine the kind with many divine foods inside such as candy bar and chips,

but still no way to eat them. I stayed here until morning trying to rig a

transport of some sort for it. I cut a tree down and made 4 wheels and

eventually a cart to support the machine and than to transport the machine to

the other. This was such a great task, I forgot about my hunger. By dusk I had

arrived back at the pop machine. As I set the candy machine next to the pop

machine, my hunger came back even stronger than before Once again, I knew I

could not break into the machine to eat, again my strong moral values. So I

went out again in search of food and water.

As my walk progressed I found a stream and I took a drink and ate many

fish, then thought that I should of cooked them first. On my way back, I got

lost and had to sleep under a foreign tree and try to find my way home at day

break. As I tried to find my way home, I found another machine.
