Closet Treasures

The other night I was sifting through my closet and looking at some of my old stuff. I came across my high school's literary magazine that was put together my senior year and found one of my works published in it. I had written an alternate ending to a book we read in my English class called "Metamorphosis." This was a lame assignment given to me while I was suffering from severe senioritis so naturally I put very little effort forth but somehow my work was published. Please enjoy and give me your thoughts as to why this is publish worthy.

"After Gregor's father threw the apple, Gregor was filled with tremendous rage. The next day he went into the dining room while his family was eating breakfast and proceeded to murder them. Their soft flesh tasted much better than bread and milk. Then something amazing happened...he grew! So it seems that human flesh caused Gregor to grow in size and strength. Finally, a chance for revenge on all of the people that laughed at his misfortune had come. Gregor then proceeded to eat all of the citizens in his small town, all the while growing. He became the size of a two story house, and continued to roam across the country killing everyone in sight. Meanwhile, the apple had rotted inside his back and became infected. Soon enough, Gregor became ill. After a few weeks of bed rest, he died. With everyone dead there was no one to pass down the story of Gregor, the giant bug that ate everyone."
