Candles and Waves

[monochromeninja]

Dom and I sat in the guest room, watching Chris Nathan cds on my computer, when the electric holiday candles that are placed in the windows every year set the sill on fire. I went to put them out, and got terribly burned on my right arm and leg. I then unplugged everything from the outlet, to make sure nothing else starts on fire. The doorbell rang, and it was Erin, come to pick up Dom. We held hands as we went downstairs, realizing how early in the morning it is. Rather than yell at us, my father just mentioned how the washing machine (which had no door and was hanging suspended from a string on the ceiling) hadn't worked for a few minutes when I was unplugging cords.

At a mall, giant wave overcomes me and I almost drown.
