Something I wrote a few days ago I wasn't sure I liked when I wrote it, it has grown on me a bit, hope you like


You were alone on Christmas, in your apartment with a six pack of beer. You had ordered a pizza but of course that hadn't gotten here yet. You could have gone to your cousin's house, she had invited you for dinner, but being around all that happy energy, that sounded too painful. You still weren't quite over your fiance' leaving you.

Knock on the door woke you out of your stupor. You walked over to find a blue haired girl at the door with your pizza. "Hey, that's 17.50" She said. You handed her a $50.

"It's Christmas keep the change" You said.

Her face lit up, "hey thanks bud, for your generosity I know you are going to have a very very merry Christmas"

You looked at this manic pixie of a girl like she has 2 heads. Smile and shake your head. You take the pizza back into the apartment, sitting down you head way more commotion than you should. It sounds like children. You put the pizza on the table and walk towards the sound.

You stumble through the doorway as all your senses get flooded with all knew sights and sounds. You're in the kitchen of your cousin Meg and her army of children are on pure Christmas spirit. You fall on your knee still uneasy on your feet. She comes sprinting over helping you up.

"Easy Gina, you need to rest" She says. She helps you up, you still don't understand why you feel so off and what is that motion in your gut. She leads you into the bedroom and helps you get settled. "The doctor said bed rest and that's what you are going to get cuz. Plus your handsome beau should be here shortly"

She leaves the room, only for you to sit up again, you see a cute mama to be across the room, it is only then you see that's a mirror.
