All through high school Larry Exeter was in love with Stella Davis. He dreamt of the day that they would marry. When the graduated college they began to plan their wedding. Larry wore a blue tux, and Stella had on a long, white wedding dress. Everything was going great until Larry saw the bridesmaid's dresses which were orange. He hates the color orange.
For their honeymoon they took an airplane to France, where they spent a week. It was the best time. Stella had some great lingerie. Larry and Stella went sightseeing at the Eiffel Tower and Larry lost his wallet. He had to hurry to the bank for more Euros. What and adventure!
Nine months later Larry Jr. arrived. On the way to see the baby he had to stop and shop for some baby clothes. When Larry Jr. was a young child him and his dad played with his toys all the time. When he was six he got his first bike and his dad taught him to ride it. That bike was his favorite thing. As Larry Jr. got older he stopped spending time with his dad and started getting into trouble. When he was fifteen they sent him to military school for stealing their new Cadillac. They were so angry.
Around this time things started to get bad with Larry and Stella. He forgot their anniversary. He tried to make it up to her by buying her flowers but she threw them in his face. He got mad and decided to go to the casino with some of his friends. This is where Larry met Audrina and he started cheating on Stella.
Stella's best friend saw Larry out with Audrina and tried to blackmail him. So he decided to pay her off with a trip to Hawaii on a boat. He didn't know that he was being setup until he got a letter from his wife's attorney telling him she wanted a divorce along with everything he owns. Stella's friend double crossed him. When they go to court the judge says she gets the house plus alimony. He's so mad but at least the divorce is final.
Larry Jr. is so upset about his parents that he starts gambling heavily with a bookie. He is always losing his bets and now his bookie wants his money. Larry Jr. doesn't have it so the bookie comes after him and breaks his arms and legs. In the hospital he gets a bad infection. The doctors are not able to save him. Now Larry Sr. has to pay for his son's funeral.
Jimmy- You have a unique writing style. It's very "matter-of-fact." I chuckled at the "orange" line. With that in mind, I noticed that you took come creative liberties with the order of the checks. Remember to keep your verb tense consistent; and to keep up the hard work.
