Storm Troopers :D

True story… this actually happened in my pocket/cube today :D

A long time ago (last year’s free comic book day)… In a comic book far far away (the source)

A Strom Trooper was battling the relentless throngs of 13 year olds whose experince with comics started somewhere along the lines of “Spider-man 3 was awesome!!” and overweight “death of Superman ’93 enthusiasts” when he saw his only hope of escape- a girl’s winter jacket pocket. The conditions in the pocket were inconsistant, sometimes sweltering then suddenly fridgid with the occational splash of snow. But the unable to rig a system that enable him to scale the pocket the storm trooper was left to wait. Somehow he had the feeling that an epic battle was just around the corner, or in the other pocket, and he would need all his strength. He was able to survive on crumbs and pocket lint for an entire year.

Then suddenly one day the hand from an unknown entity, that sometimes foraged the pocket lands, scooped him up and thrust him into a bright new alien world. This world was vast… with 3 felt lined wall, filled with various giant objects like phones and coffee cups. The Storm Trooper lay in wait, not knowing what would come next, but always at the ready for the unthinkable. He crouched before a massive screen listening to voices surrounding him which always repeated the same information “Hello this is Heidi calling from Epicor… calling to touch base with you regarding your distribution software…”

As time went by the storm trooper became more relaxed in his new surroundings and let his guard down. Turns out it was really bad timing because suddenly the overlord hand withdrew a Basilisk from alternate pocket!!! The storm trooper knew this was the battle he had been waiting for since his comic escape. How would he ever defeat a Basilisk with only a laser gun and no phoenix tears!!!???

(This battle is currently taking place in front of my keyboard…)
