Story One: Christmas Eve Adventure (long)

So I opened my presents this Christmas Eve ,got a bunch of games, couldn't sleep, and decided to to walk to my nearest convenience store (mini-mart in Wyo-slang) even though I knew they didn't have my flavor of caffeine fix. I found out it was cold as the seventh circle of hell and damn eery at around 11pm christmas eve here in Casper. Awkwardly i saw one other soul in the entirety of downtown Casper out walking to somewhere as well. We exchanged quite a few looks as we realized we were probably walking to the same place but were entirely to socially awkward to great one another. I also saw his paranoia set in as mine did. I KNOW he was thinking is he a mugger? drug dealer? rapist?! as was I for no good reason at all. As i was a perfectly moral and upstanding night creature so he probably was as well. He turned sharply however the very corner before the mini-mart possible out of shear awkwardness or fear of our paranoia induced mind link, you know, something. When I entered I immediately saw the exact bottle and flavor of my glorious stimulant mistress just shining coyly in the beverage fridge. My face lit up like christmas lights (get it) and the cashier seemed uplifted at the same time at my Cheshire grin. She seemed quite nice and in good spirits now and i was happy the whole way home. Until a strange car with one headlight speed through the alleyway I was in at 70mph and stopped strangely at the street at the end of the alleyway. My sleep deprived paranoia took over and I ran into my house, locked every entry and orifice, and wrote this blog later on that night.
