Don't fall off the shelf.
vs.
So last Monday at 2:23 AM I was awakened by a loud crash. My first thought was, "What fell off the wall?" I got up and walked around in a haze. My first pass through the house turned up nothing. Being a triple taurus I became determined to find out what made the noise. I walked through the house looking at everything hanging on the wall and nothing was missing. The one place I didn't examine closely was my
Big Shelf of Action Figures. I looked past my gaming tables and saw the culprits. Apparently red Master Chief had a Covenant flashback and decided to take down the green Xevoz. Their battle took them over the edge of the shelf like any good action movie should. I chuckled and went to bed.
Edit: many of my friends said my first thought when waking up should have been, 'Is someone in my house? but that never occured to me.
