So I'm walking along this path, and there's a ditch to my immediate right. I hear two bicyclists coming up from behind to pass on the left. All is well with the first dude. But the the second dude is slowing down, and I can sense that he's up to some mischief.
He's going to knock me in the ditch.
But there's one thing he doesn't know: I'm nobody's pony.
Sure enough, in my peripheral vision I see him angling in at me. Just as he would give me a good hard shoulder bump, I twist aside and guide him on past to the right...
...and throw the laptop onto the floor next to the bed.
Fortunately, it still seems to work.
The night before, I fell asleep while reading an issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction. When Lady Cranefly came to bed, she decided to place the zine on the side-stand before turning out the lights. But as she tried to take the zine, I grabbed and twisted her fingers hard (never did fully wake up). Another close call.
