V® Cutting it Close You’re just about to jump into a mountain of chocolate ten feet deep, and suddenly, you hear a strange, terrible noise. Is it a siren? No. The phone ringing? Oh no, it’s the alarm clock! The mound of chocolate fades away and you open your eyes, only to have them stabbed by harsh daggers of bright light. “Okay,” you say to yourself, “why am I awake?” And then reality hits you slowly, but forcefully — you are supposed to go to school to- day! “Better get up quick,” you say to yourself, or the maternal unit is going to be on my case.” Quick?

That’s what I need, a shower.” Making your way to the bathroom, you find that the floor is jumping up and stumping your toes and the door to the bathroom isn’t open after all.
