Cheryl and the 3 boys
Once upon a time there were 3 brothers. One was a freshman in high school named Grady, the other was a junior in high school named Devon, and the last was a freshman in college named Eli. Every morning the boys would prepare themselves some eggs and bacon with a tall glass of milk for breakfast and leave it out to cool down while they did their morning chores.
Eli would take out the trash every morning before school, Devon would rake the leaves, and Grady would check the mail. As they did their chores, their neighbor Cheryl was walking down the sidewalk on the way to school when she smelled the aroma of the breakfast that the boys had prepared. She walked to the door and twisted the door knob and let herself in. She seen the plates lined up on the island, so she took a bite of Grady's eggs but they were way too salty for her, she took a gulp of Devon's milk but it was almond silk milk because he was lactose intolerant. she then took a bite of Eli's bacon and she was overwhelmed with the savory taste, she continued to devour the rest of his plate, however in her haste she knocked over his glass of milk ,and it spilled all over the counter and floor.
Afterward Cheryl, seen 3 phones on the table, she took Grady's Iphone 4 and tried to take pictures on it but the storage was limited, she then grabbed Devon's Iphone 6 and tried to unlock it but she disbaled it, she picked up Eli's Iphone 7 plus ,but it fumbled in her hand and fell to the ground, The screen was shattered. As she was contemplating what she should do next, she heard the front door swing open and heard the murmurs of the three boys talking amongst themselves. Startled she hopped off the stool and tried to make a run for the back door, she slipped on Eli's cup of milk that she spilled and struck her pituitary gland on the corner of the island.
As the boys came to eat their breakfast Grady shouted
"SOMEONE TOOK SOME OF MY EGGS,"
then Devon yelled " WHAT ON EARTH! Who ate my Bacon , and drank my milk !?"
Eli looked at both of the boys and said "Guys is this a prank? everything on my plate is gone and my milk is spilled everywhere?!
Grady and Devon looked at their brother incredously and said "We were all outside!"
Devon picked up his phone and attempted to call the police. "What? my phone is disabled"
"Hold on let me try mine," said Grady
"Who is this girl?" said Grady as he scrolled through the dozens of pictures that Cheryl took.
"I think I know" said Eli as he placed his index and middle finger to Cheryl's wrist.
The boys faces paled and they walked up to her body "is she alive?' Devon asked
"No"
