I'm feeling this big let down.
Yesterday I was 10 minutes shy of being part of a lock down at one of the biggest malls in the United States. Today...nothing, nada, zip. No almost-anything!
I've gone from the zenith of almost-excitement to the drudges of actual-reality. Nobody almost-threatened me. Nobody practically-forced me. No maybe-gun sightings and no stage knifes to be seen. People were actually courteous and nice. What's with that? My adrenaline can't take it. The roller coaster dive from one extreme to the other is unbelievable.
What a let down.
And yesterday in itself is a bit of a let down, now that I think about it. I don't mind that I missed being locked in Woodfield Mall for several hours...there's no fun in that...but I missed the chance to display my Rambo-esque rescue skills! I could have taken down that possible-gunman and saved them all! I'm faster than a pseudo-bullet! I can leap speed bumps with an awkward jump! But 10 minutes. 10 minutes got in the way and it never happened.
What a let down.
Well, at least my Herculean imagination is still working in overdrive! There's something to be said for that.
I have to go now; Reggie wants out and I have to valet the doors. But I'll protect him if there are any almost-dangers out there! No moon-glare reflecting off the new coat of shiny white snow is going to hurt my dog! Not while I'm around.
What a let down. From possible-guns to non-vibrant moonlight.
