Hey, thanks Stephen. That is good to know. However, I don’t think I’ll ever do that again! Sorry I was so long in noticing there was another post on here.

Glad you liked the story.

Great story! A fun read that just about anyone can relate to in their real-life world. A suggestion (maybe a caution?) for anyone who find themself in the jaws of a similar “plastic vampire” — an easy way to be set free is with any piece of thin, rigid material (playing card, cardboard, piece cut from plastic soda bottle, etc.). Wrap the rigid material around the trapped finger, between your hand and the jaws of the “vampire,” then slide it forward until it insinuates itself between your finger and the teeth. That should form a barrier between your skin and the teeth, allowing you to withdraw your digit without injury.

You’re welcome. (grins)

hey – my name is Violet, too! I love your lively adjectives, especially the bit about plastic vampires. This is my favorite part of the story:

“Believe me,” I pronounced grimly, “Those Scrubbing Bubbles may look cute on TV, singing their little high-pitched song, but don’t let them fool you. Those sweet grins hide sharp, powerful, orange teeth that are just waiting to attack! Lucky for me, you were here. They would have done their dirty deed, wiped up the mess, and you’d have never known what became of me.”

Thanks for your comments, Minerva! We laughed about the incident after I got my finger free, but while it was happening, he was the only one appreciating the humor of the situation. And I definitely wasn’t appreciating his laughter.

I love this story! I heartily approve of how you described certain aspects in the story;

“However, as he surveyed the situation, worry fell off his face so fast, I swear I heard it hit the floor.”

genius! a true spark of imagination.
