~Keeping Cool By C

Don't stare, Sam... Don't stare! Avert your eyes... LOOK! There's a fork! Don't look! Oh, man...

"Hey, Colonel."

"Carter. What is that?"

He's sitting. Dear Lord, he's sitting. Mouth closed? Check. Not staring? Check. Ok, Sam. Everything's good. Everything's calm. Normal. Calm. Good. Everything's cool... except him.... Damn, he's hot!

"Chicken, I think."

"Chicken? Not in this universe."

Yeah, I see you making sure I think you're funny. Don't worry. I do.

"Thanks, sir. Now it's even more appealing."

Escape! Escape!

"Doesn't matter. I've got to be getting back to the lab anyway. See ya!"

Not to fast, NOT TO FAST! Don't sway... Almost there... Don't look back! FREEDOM! Alright! Escaped with dignity intact! Oh, wait. Did I remember to breath?

The End
