It felt as if I had only just closed my eyes when a buzzing noise stirred me from my sleep. I slowly opened them to see my entire room, completely infested with billions of crawly black insects! The creatures were everywhere; they were on the walls, the ceiling, the bed, and all over my face. I felt their little legs skittering over my skin, and I could taste them in my half-opened mouth.
I let out an ear-piercing screech, shutting my eyes to the sight and propelling all the nasty vermin out of my mouth. Through the din, I head a familiar malicious cackle.
All noise stopped. Vacuum prevailed. Cautiously, I opened one eye to see Briana floating above my chest, leaning over and grinning.
"Boo."
Losing no time, and with ninja precision, I flipped up the sides of the comforter, enveloping her in the blanket. I trussed her up like a Christmas goose until she resembled a piece of sushi.
I pinned her to the mattress and demanded an explanation.
"Why did you do that? What did I do to you? That episode earlier today was an accident! I didn't know you were that sensitive, alright?"
She struggled to escape, but no amount of whatever powers Beetlejuice bestowed on her could release her from her downy-soft prison.
"Let me go! You can't catch me! This isn't how it works!"
"Life sucks, midget. Get used to it."
"I'm dead, remember?"
Tired of her games, I sat on her, ensuring her capture.
"Alright! Alright! Get off, tubby! Andrew told me you were sleeping here and that I should come have some fun! You happy now?" she bellowed, still wriggling.
This was unexpected news. I had actually planned on some prank from Briana, but not one with Andrew's leave and assistance!
"Are you gonna let me go? I'll tell you how I died already, if that's what you want! Just let me out!"
My thoughts came back to her. So that's what she thought I wanted. Well, I thought, I might as well take advantage of blessings given.
