I was so tired, yet I couldn't sleep. I opened my eyes slightly, and immediately froze. Across the room from me was a tall, shadowy figure, which began to slowly approach my bed.

A stranger with unsavory intentions, no doubt. But still, I stood there in my skivvies, frozen.It was so cold in my house! I wish I had paid my utility bills.The stranger approach

ed me, and I realized that the stranger was holding an axe. I screamed and ran upstairs, grabbing my teddy bear and my knife. The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Suddenly

My mistake? I'd run upstairs. Just like in the movies I was going to get hacked to pieces. My little switch blade wouldn't do me any good against his axe so I clung to my teddybear

. The mad axe-man burst in through the room. I screamed and clung on to my teddybear, hugging it as tight as I could. "Hand over the teddybear" He demanded. "NOOOoooOOO!" I wailed

. There was no way I'd relinquish Mr Cuddles to this axe-wielding madman. Finally, he said, "If you don't hand over the teddy, I'm going to kill your

hopes of seeing Mrs Potato-Head again!" "No, don't hurt her. Here, take Teddy!" I suddenly wished I'd never taken her out of the toy-chest. She was sure to be in pieces over this.

But that's what you get when you fall for a Lego Minifig Princess Leia (with bun hairdo). I threw Teddy at the Evil One (that's what we were calling him), and to my surprise

it was more effective than I had thought! The teddy bear roared and slashed at the Evil One with his fluffy claws while Leia's beautiful Minifigure and I cheered him on.
