It's Saturday night. Movie night. The popcorn is popping, the movie is loading, and your pillows and blankets are all set up on the couch for you to crawl into. The microwave dings, announcing that the time is right to hit the play button.
You slide into the blankets and you adjust the pillow and lay down as the credits start. The butter on the popcorn slides down your throat as you chew subconsciously. Oh, yes. this is good.
You're introduced to the main characters. The basic plot to the film is laid out for you and the kissing begins.
You adjust yourself multiple times, in order to get the best view of the action, of course.
The climax is unveiled and you find your eyes becoming unfocused. They roll and shake as you try to prop them open. But you fail. "just for a second," you think, "just to let them rest". But as soon as you let them close, they wont open up again, only fluttering lids.
"Hello? time to go to bed, sweetie," your mother caresses your hair gently.
"But the movie..." you moan.
"it's over," she smiles, "you slept right through it."
You look up to the end credits rolling down the screen, "oh," you get up and reluctantly crawl into bed.
"That was the best movie night yet," you think as you drift off into a deep sleep to create your own version of the movie in your mental realm.
I am the master of falling asleep during movies-heck I fall asleep driving..
