Opening Assignment 3/31/14
Today a disappointing and pathetic event took place when Dexter St-Pierre was on his way to work today and discovered he was missing something critically important. His keys were nowhere to be found. Dexter tore apart his bedroom and living room searching for the keys, only to realize that he had locked them in his car last night.
All dressed, lunch packed, name badge on, Dexter was all ready for work. There was just one more thing he needed. He reached onto his dresser where his keys should have been his fingers only met with the wood of the dresser. His hands searched the dresser just like Velma when she would drop her glasses in Scooby Doo. Then he had a horrifying realization. He ran out to his car as quickly as his tired legs could carry him and looked in the window. Sitting there on his driver's seat were his keys.
