Saturday I had to go to my uncle's house, which is about sixty miles from my house, to help him paint. I didn't get back into town until about nine. When I did get back, my cousin and I drove to Wal-Mart to check the line. There were already over twenty people, and there were only twenty Wiis.
I called K-Mart and was told that they had no Wiis. However, I had been lied to, as we had a friend who worked at K-Mart, and he told us that they had five Wiis that would go on sale at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday. So we went over to K-Mart at about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday and set up camp.
We waited all night on the sidewalk outside K-Mart, and I didn't sleep a wink. My feet were perpetually cold no matter how many layers I wrapped them in, and my blanket was never big enough. Several more people showed up during the night. At one point there was a brawl in the parking lot between several ruffians over a car. This parking lot was notorious for drug deals, and here we were loaded with cash for the Wii like sitting ducks. I kept thinking the cops would stop, check my ID, realize my curfew was midnight, and deport me, but they never did.
8:00 a.m. finally came, and five of us got our Wiis. I got sick Sunday and had to come into school late on Monday.
BUT I GOT A WII.
