Walking my dog today I was assaulted by a seed.
A stiff wind... a brittle pod-wing twirling in the wind trying to find a place to take root... sounds charming, doesn't it?
No. This is not a fairy tale.
I'm pretty sure that a certain maple seed had envisioned itself as some sort of ninja throwing star. That thing came hurling at me with INTENT.
I barely had time to comprehend the situation, my brain registering a golden blur in front of me when it slashed at my throat.
Startled, I could not even utter a scream, the stunning sting of the weapon silencing me and sending me into shock.
How could this have happened in my neighborhood? What could motivate this seed to become a killer? Why would the helicopter have chosen me, of all the people it encountered today?
I....really need to stop watching Investigation Discovery shows on Netflix.
