FanStory.com - The Floating Maskby DragonSkulls

"I didn't wear the mask!"

"What are you blathering about," my wife asked from in front of the TV.

I exited the study. "I didn't wear the mask! What part of that don't you understand," I shouted, looking at her with such intensity my hands were shaking in front of me.

With a fearful look in her eyes while sensing the urgency in my voice, "Mask? What mask? What are you talking about?"

"I have to start this contest story with, 'I didn't wear the mask!'"

"Oh my God, can you not give that site a break for one damn night?"

"I would but I didn't wear the mask!"

"I'm going to bed."

"Are you wearing the mask?!" I shrieked in a high pitched scream as she ascended the stairs.

"Plan on sleeping on the couch."

"But I didn't wear the mask, that's all! Am I so wrong?"

The bedroom door slammed shut then was instantly yanked back open again. "Here's your stupid mask!"

And sure enough, no matter how hard she threw it, what came floating down from upstairs was my eye cover sleep mask.

That's when it dawned on me and I realized..."Hey, there's my story."
