Jealousy surges through the limp, small body of Stephanie as heat rises to her nose and out through it in green steam. Slowly,
yet urgently, she reaches out towards the computer screen so as to get to the other side when the chair caves in and Stephanie
falls flat on her butt, which knocks all the air and steam out of her. Feeling no breath, Stephanie tries to form a thought,
but has some amount of trouble considering the fact that there is little oxygen swooping up to her brain. With a little sting
in her side, Stephanie coughs and hacks up the ooze that was forming in her trachea allowing her to once again breathe. This
breath of glorious life helps to form a thought, "Why on earth am I on this hard, cold floor?" As she is sitting
there, she realizes that she has a hankering for chocolate and finds that someone left a crumb of chocolate peanut butter
fudge on the floor so she picks it up and applies it to her tongue and then swooshes it down her hollow throat. What a joy
and delight Stephanie has found in sitting on the floor, there is everything you could possibly hope for down here: chocolate,
bottled water, some clothes, a Bible......eeek, that spider looks like a wooly mammoth!! She inches away from it, rapidly
yet carefully, but unsure of leaving her comfort zone of a place on the nice hard, cold floor. As this thought rushes through
her mind, she takes a look at the spider once more and realizes that it is really a fuzzy blue sweater.
Moral: Things are not always as what they first appear.
