Lysle of the Hydian Way
Silent and Violent
So I was sitting in my room just playing Generals & Heroes before I head out to the movies tonight. I'm sitting in my favourite PJ's (Ref Pic). I've got two special needs sisters who're both 7, and my mum who is a single mum so I help out at home a lot.
Fire alarm goes off, girls come out of their room, they don't know what is going on. Mum starts screaming hysterically and shooting "Fire!" I rush out into the lounge room, and the candle beside the TV that my mum had placed there had caught onto the TV somehow (I didn't even know TV's were so easily flammable..) and onto the vase of flowers beside it.
Fire is raging, adrenaline rush initiate. I rip off my favourite 'Jedi Academy' pajama shirt, and dive into the fray. In the chaos of trying to suffocate the fire, and telling my mum to get water while trying to keep my sisters away, the candle holder is knocked down. A puddle of hot candle wax pours all down my leg, and at this point I didn't even notice or feel it. The fire is now on the ground, I jump on top of it and continue to suffocate it with my shirt, and it's not working. I just sit the shirt on it and start curb stomping.
Fire is out, I still can't feel my leg was burnt. My Jedi Academy shirt is totally ruined, and now my X-wing / Tie Fighter trousers is soaked in candle wax. Candle wax had gone straight through the fabric and stuck to my leg. I haven't stopped shaking from the adrenaline. My sisters also hugged me and called me a superhero, so I have that going for me because usually they hate me.
I thought I'd share this tale because in the process of totally ruining my favourite Star Wars pajamas, I reckon I'm now a true thug Jedi. I'd like to request promotion to Knight IRL please.
