- As my mind snapped back into reality, I felt the turquoise fluid drain around me. Moments later, I opened my eyes to find myself free of my stasis chamber. Why was I awoken?
- No audible warning. The other crew were still in stasis. I checked my chambers read out. No malfunction. I donned a suit & breather and took the tube to the bridge. I wasn't alone.
- Cast by the faint neon glow of the control room floor, was a formless shaking shadow upon the ceiling. No one else was out of the stasis, so who, or what was this?
- "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" Yes, the chihuahua had invaded our transport. He had torn all of the control panels off looking for hot sauce. I could still only barely move my arms, but I
- opened the Emergency Taco Rations and threw them in front of the beast, temporarily distracting it. I considered my options as the computer voice announced an impending
- poo and then I felt the cramps hit me. That's what I get for eating some of those tacos. I sprinted and froze half way to the bathroom, every muscle tightly
- aimed at keeping my poo inside me. I dared move no more - the slightest twitch could cause me to lose focus AND bowel control. With superhuman will I fought back the urge to soil
- my neighbor's yard. But I see that my mistress did not bring the poo-poo bags with her and I knew DOGGONE well that the neighborhood association was already suspicious. Sniff
- ing the air, I took note of the fact that this deed would not go unnoticed. I mean both letting my mistress's dog crap in the neighbor's yard and that my mistress was here, again,
- was more than I had bargained for. And so, thrusting my nose triumphantly in the air, I walked out, free from this oppressive slavery forever! But then, I thought, "Now what?"
