It was one of those days again…

"What are you waiting for? Hurry! Double time! Chop-chop!" Mom called out.

I didn't really feel like having lunch today, in fact- I think I had just eaten... Or maybe not.

With that in mind, it could only mean that-

The enemies were near…

If no one took any action, we'd all be toast before teatime.
