Inner Turmoil

"Well, that couldn't have gone any worse…" Max let out a heavy sigh as he lay down on his bed, his eyes glancing at the roof of his room.

After returning from underneath the sequoia tree, Max was met with the rage of his mother right in front of his house, who had figured out that he had lied to her about schools being open today.

If this had been the usual Max, there'd have been a lot more yelling and shouting from him, and the two of them would have had a literal screaming contest for god knows how long. 

But the Max of today was completely exhausted from everything that had happened just a few hours prior, and he simply stood there, listening to his mother's anger filled scoldings, waiting until she eventually sent him to his room, grounding him for a whole week.

"It does suck that I don't get to use my phone or my computer.." Max clicked his tongue and rolled over to his side, facing the wall as he let out another long sigh.
