I had no idea that danger was lurking waiting for me this morning as I went through my morning routine. I took the dogs for their early morning walk, where we dodge deer, raccoons and loose gravel (you have no idea how dangerous the lone piece of gravel is until you step on it in the dark). Thankfully, the morning walk was without incident, for a change.
Coming back home, the dogs got their carrots and I jumped into the shower. After my shower, I started putting on my makeup, totally unaware of the danger just waiting for me. I pulled out my makeup drawer reached in and grabbed my moisturizer smeared it on my face, and then went after the eye cream when I felt the ever so slight flutter against my hand. I jerked my hand back just in time to see the rare extremely dangerous weremoth make its escape to the back of the drawer and into the dark recesses of the cabinet. I just narrowly escaped with my life. Not sure what a weremoth is, well they are big, huge, black, white or maybe purple, it doesn’t matter. They strike just when your guard is down and you’re totally relaxed, like putting on your makeup. I knew without a doubt that it would fly out of the drawer and latch onto my neck and suck out all my blood.
Having only just started putting on my makeup I had no choice but to finish as quickly as possible keeping one eye on the mirror and what I was doing and one eye on the drawer hoping the weremoth wouldn’t sneak out and stage a blitz attack on me. Where was Charlie when I needed him? He always loves to eat moths.
I just hope I remember that it’s in there waiting and lurking for the perfect moment to fly out and kill us all in the middle of the night. Maybe Mitch will find it first…
