My fictional story is about an Individual who was playing chicken around a live experiment.

Hi, I’m Florian Falkènvägen, & this my story of a science incident that happened back in grade 9. My teacher at the time was Mr. Brown, we were doing an elephant toothpaste experiment, of course at the time I had problems with getting distracted easily, I pulled out my earbuds & played Kraftwerk’s Techno Pop while Mr. Brown was teaching a very critical aspect of the experiment which was the dangers of elephant toothpaste, obviously I was distracted. Now the experiment has started, I grab my safety goggles (as I do have common sense) we start mixing the last bit of chemicals & we are at the last stage, I got to pour the chemicals together, not knowing that elephant toothpaste can get very hot. My head was recklessly right above the large flask as I pour the last bits of the ingredients from the beaker, then BOOM! The toothpaste shoots onto my face like a rocket from an old Disney cartoon, once the toothpaste dripped off, my face looked like a zombie from Call of Duty. I was rushed to the hospital for 2nd degree burns. After that incident, I payed more attention to future lessons, because if you miss one important part of a lesson, it’ll come back to bite you in the arse.
