Home Invasion
· by Roy Edlund

Last night we had a home invasion by a crazy female. Apparently I forgot to lock the front door.
We got up early to get ready for the Soundside Market and she attacked me as I entered the kitchen.
I started screaming, Sandie started screaming. I was flailing about like a crazy man.
She had these big green eyes. Funny the things you notice when the adrenaline kicks in and time stands still.
She hid behind the light in the kitchen and I ran to the bedroom to get something to defend myself.
I called out to Sandie to make sure she was okay and she had barricaded herself in the bathroom.
I re-entered the kitchen and she attacked again, I swung wildly in her direction and she backed off.
I swung again this time connecting so solidly, she left a mark on the ceiling. I can't believe I actually killed her. Sandie hugged and kissed her hero.
Yellow flies, right?
Talk about your wake up call. I've got enough adrenaline to fly to Nags Head.
Speaking of which, we'll be in Nags Head from 9am-1pm. Hope to see you there.
This market season has been a blur with only seven more in the upcoming weeks.
