Excerpt:
Laying in my
womb-like chrysalis, I returned the phone call. On the third ring, my best
friend answered. “Hey Amy. How’s it going? Why didn’t you answer?”
I started
laughing hysterically at the situation. “I’ve been taken hostage by my sheets
and they won’t let me go.”
A long pause
followed my announcement. Finally I heard a soft chuckle. “Should I call the
police? Or search and rescue?”
“Both,” I
snorted mid laugh.
Her chuckle
intensified. “Oh my god, you’re serious aren’t you?”
“Yes. I’m lying
here, on the floor, wrapped up like some sunshine burrito, and I can’t get
out.”
I had to hold
the phone away from my head because she was laughing so hard. “Why are you
laughing at a time like this? My dignity is at stake!”
Rustling met my
wheezed outburst before the line went dead. Staring up at the stained ceiling,
I gave in to the hilarity of my plight. Who
else could get themselves this stuck in cotton?
Calmed somewhat, and out of breath, I gave
the sheets an honest fight. Sadly, they were winning. Sweating, and only
slightly less trapped, I inched my way into the kitchen where the aromatic
wonder that was my customary French roast tempted my bruised ego.
