Title: A Llama Saved My Life

Author: Chad Sexington

---

A story of bravery, romance, betrayal, heartbreak, and survival.

It was a dark and stormy night...

--waves hands around mysteriously--

The wind was howling and thunder was cracking. Something was in the air and I should have seen it coming. Why, OH WHY didn't I see it coming?

So there I was, having dinner with my wife, Mrs. Sexington. The table was set and the food smelled delicious. Something outside was scratching the window.

--But wait!

Doesn't she know that I can't eat dinner without throwing up if I didn't have my lucky longsword with me? I ask her to get it from the bedroom for me and she gladly agrees. (She's so good to me. I don't deserve her.) I'm alone now and the scratching is getting louder. She returns and we're ready to eat.

--But wait!

How am I supposed to eat without my favorite kilt? She gladly goes to the bedroom a second time and again, the scratches keep getting louder.

She returns with a bag in her hand and a look of confusion on her face. Again, the scratches get even louder.

What could it be? Was it a monster? Werewolf? Pk's with fabulous neon clothes? The look of confusion now turns into disgust. From confusion to disgust and now anger, she finally speaks:

"Is this... WOMAN'S UNDERPANTS!?!?"

I jump out of my seat and fling open the front door. I hop onto the noisy llama and ride off into the night.

And THAT was the day a llama saved my life.

THE END
