Chubby Cactus (uselessness's monologue challenge)

I think the sun is getting brighter, no, hotter every passing moment.

I’m pretty sure those chubby little cactus out the window are melting.

I’M MELTING !

Damn this ancient tin machine!

Damn my insolence for driving it through the desert. I bet they are waiting for me now, with the picnic ready.

OH GOD IT SOUNDS SO GOOOOD !

Now they’re probably taking pictures next to those damned chubby cactus. They’ll show them to me sometime, and they will remind me of my entrapment out here…alone…so…

HUNGRY !

Oh, a car! I’m saved!

Wait, they’re rolling down the window…Japanese tourists…hope they speak English…

They’re taking a picture of me.

No, come back!

COME BAAAAACK !

Geez, they didn’t even give me any time to pose!
