The Outlier

Another Day in Paradise

I jolt upright in my bed. Great, another stupid dream, I think. I look around to attack the dizziness that suddenly came over me. I find Heather sleeping in her "gryphon bed". It's really a pimped out dog bed that I made her once she got bigger. I even added small squeaky toys. I thought about adding more, but she already ate at least half of them. I rather not spend anymore money on toys. I slowly swing my legs over to the side of my bed. They dangle over the side as I reach for my phone on my nightstand. I unlock it and start looking through Instagram as I get up off the bed. Right as I was about to check my overflowing DMs, I step in something wet. I look down and sigh.

Melted snow.

That little brat.

Honestly, Heather plays pranks on me 24/7. One time, she was trying to learn the magic of poison, right? She gave me a "poison" cupcake. I even was suspicious of the oozing purple gel that was clearly placed on top. Like my gullible self, I ate it. Luckily she failed and all it did was gave me a small headache for a couple days.

Luckily.

I walk over to the bathroom and stand over the sink. I look at myself in the mirror. I twist my head to the right probe my face with my point finger. I need to shave.

I sigh and stand up straight, trying to act manly.

Another day in paradise.
