This short story was inspired by the struggle with procrastination that I’ve been having, and how procrastination can negatively impact your life. It can even kill. This was a fun short story for me to write. I hope you enjoy.

What a beautiful day. I thought to myself as I mowed my grass on my new top of the line mower. This bad boy could reach speeds of 25 MPH, pretty damn fast for a mower. You could start a league and race these suckers.

“Stop! Look out!” A woman said to my right.

Was she talking to me? Where’d she even come from? I turned to face her and as I did I saw a small boy around the age of 5 run directly in front of my mower.
