An epitaph

An epitaph for my faithful and loyal bottle, who fell to its death earlier today in Math.

It was a tragic event. One moment you were there, sitting perfectly fine on my table top, the next, you were lying on the floor, heavily injured in a puddle of water. It was my fault that I was not able to save you in time, just like in comic books where the superhero somehow manages to save the damsel in distress at the very last moment. I finally understood how Spiderman/Peter Parker felt when he didn't manage to save Gwen Stacy in time.

You were a loyal bottle, diligently carrying water for me to keep me hydrated day and night, rain or shine. It's obvious that you didn't deserve to go this way. At the very least, decommissioned with a badge of diligent and loyal serving. Not only did I lose you, but also in the process inconvenienced my friends. Like Yi Xuan, who did most of the cleaning up, when it was the mess I made (I sincerely thank you for that), not forgetting Si Min, Felecia and Dion who also helped with the cleaning up. Samantha, who had to run off in search of a mop (alas,her efforts were in vain). Really sorry to Sam, Felecia and Si Min, because my inability to save my bottle in time really messed up their area and cause them to have to relocate. I really appreciate the help you all have all given me, and I'm truly sorry for causing all that trouble.

I will never forget you, my bottle for all that service you have given me. You're the world's best bottle by far.
