Attacked by a vile creature

Willkommene Freunde, lässt mich Ihnen erzählen, wie ich bei der Arbeit heute angegriffen wurde. So While at work today, I began to long for the great outdoors. I believe this is my major problem at work. The direct infiltration of florescent lighting and the lack of natural sunlight, I believe, causes me to become mentally scrambled. So between the vicodin, the din of the Pelonis and Sgt. Baker screaming at me, I came to the conclusion that it would be in my best interest to wander out of the building. Although still a wee bit cool it was sunny and humid out as I walked. I walked through the parking lot, stopped to watch bees and gnats of some kind. I admired the tulips the school places in some of the most odd places throughout the campus. Then I thought to myself, damn I wish we could move our office outside. I would be willing to withstand the sweltering heat of midsummer the nasty humidity and the other less desirables that warm weather brings in order to feel more comfortable in my working environment. Then I thought that maybe I could make the office a little more enjoyable by bringing some of the outside in. I retrieved a garbage bag, a few pine cones, a mossy rock and then began cutting hardwood branches off of trees so that I may place them into a vace in the office. Out to the pond of wonder I wandered. The first pond is very shallow and it is rare to see anything more than a deluge of tadpoles and shads, I paid no attention. Then it happened. Like a bolt of lightning this creature emerged and adavanced upon me like I was to be its meal of the day. Hmmm.. The down side to vicodin is that it tends to slow down reaction time in humans. The monster, head hung low, breast puffed in full, advancing on me with one goal in mind. To kill me. As I stood there, assessing the situation I was thrown into by the gods as a test of my worthiness as top dog on the food chain, I noticed something, the location that this creature began its assault on me. It was a brown mound within inches of the water. Within this brown mound lay oblong white objects. If I were to guess, I would say there were roughly 6 items contained in this area. Hmm..Still thinking about this situation, still the monster advancing on me. I now noticed this low garbled noise, kinda like a growl and a hiss combined. I now think I understand what is going on here. I have accidentally stumbled upon this creatures temporary home, where it has taken the time and trouble to build its shanty, deposit its future children and does not want all of its hard work and time to be wasted in vain. I was the creature that was presently threatening this beings wellbeing. AHA! I must move. Thank you cranium for working once in awhile. Ok, now all I have to do is figure out where to move. If I move forward, I think it may be beneficial for the attacker to complete its present goal. If I move to the right, I will become very wet, my movement will slow even more and the attacker will have a severe advantage over me. If I turn around, it will waste more time and now that the attacker is less than 8 feet from me, I am sure it will make contact with me. TO THE LEFT, this makes the most sense, least amount of energy spent and the easiest route away from this horrifically large creature that will kill me and feed me to its young once they hatch. So I move, then as I am starting to gain a little momentum I begin to turn my head in the direction my body is going. I turned my head just in enough time to see what cunning entity was in league with my attacker and what was to stop me dead in my tracks. A Fucking Tree. Who the hell put a tree here? It would appear that the tree didn’t want the entertainment to stop, so he stopped me. My thought: Fuck I am about to be bit. As I stood there, completely tensed completely awaiting my punishment for being ignorant. Nothing happened. I slowly turned my head to look down upon my assailant only to find my assailant not any further than 3 feet looking back up at me. Instead of it adavncing it had stopped, almost like it was processing what had just taken place and how it was that I could have been such a moron as to not be able to escape its ferocious grasp. I do believe it was thinking that I, the top of the food chain, was the stupidest of all the beings that promenade around midgarth. I have to say, I think it was right. I not only decided to wussy out and not face this opponent but then I was crass enough to be struck by a tree. It took about 3 seconds for me to realize I was not being bitten and it took about 2.5 seconds for the pursuer to stop thinking about how stupid I was. So, the chase resumed. I was not as careless the second time as I was the first. I dodged the tree and its companions and high-tailed it at least 40 feet before turning to see my vertically challenged hunter had proved its point and was returning to once again to protect its investment in immortality. Maybe it would be wise not to move the office outside because I would probably end up hurt or someone else’s dinner.
