Description
Someone's gonna pay!!!As the Family Christmas was canceled, it was moved to New Years Day... That meant I got off work after a Night Shift, traveled 3 hours to Grandparents, and pretended to be alive for the next entire day... This was a very long week and I had nothing left, every ounce of my power to stay awake was gone and after dinner I sat on the floor (not enough space or chairs in that house, and it's always been my customary spot, beside the coffee table) and fell asleep sitting straight up. My parents and grandparents and other family that showed up were all sorts of amused that I had that simple ability... Really it was more like a trance or meditation than true sleep, can't relax around those people at all...
Why? Just look what they did!!! They covered me in the gift bows from under the tree, I was so exhausted in more ways than I knew possible that I didn't sense them at all... My uncle aslo took my glasses from me....
Well, I half-woke in the "Waking Dream" state, not cool around family... Why? Well, lets just say in my dreams I can reach a state of being that far surpasses my physical existance, and that state of being seems to be attainable in the real world for just a few seconds as I wake. It's just a few seconds, but trust me, a few seconds is aaaall I'm gonna need....
Completely unaware that I'm now awake, I still try to "fight"...
I was on my feet and had my trusty box-cutter in my hand and ready before they could jump back far enough... Lucky them my uncle had my glasses... I couldn't see well, and added to that, they had covered my seeing eye with a sticky bow, in other words, all I saw was basic shapes and light changing...
After that little incident I had to fight my uncle to get my glasses back, damn him, he's not that much taller or faster than me, but without my vision- I'm hopeless.... *gets tripped by snickering uncle*
.... I dreamed about it later, but it wasn't my uncle I was fighting, but all the same after pathetically attempting to get my glasses back, I ended up hitting an arrow right between this guys eyes, a suction cup arrow, but it was the complete surprise on his face at my miraculous aim that was worth it... And yeah- I AM a better shot in archery without glasses, makes me focus more and slow my breathing, but that's neither here nor there....
Why do I have a box cutter? Oh, I used to carry one all the time, at least one, sometimes up to 3... It was part of my job... It comes in handy now at family get togethers, mainly Christmas, for opening boxes and other things... My uncle called me the Christmas Samurai... -_-!
And no, despite my track record of being an absolute klutz, I've NEVER cut myself on one of my box cutters! *grins while slamming knife down on leg to open and close repeatedly* Eat your heart out.... XD
