Hello fellow writer. Happy Account Anniversary. I must say I have never, ever read about someone doing battle with their toaster. I know from experience that toasters can be finicky machines and they do seem to like burning bread at whim. I laughed at all of your evasive manoeuvers to sneak up upon the toaster. You did not want to give it advance warning of your overtures. So, the start lever is "an arming device"? I suppose the "tall, humming machine" is the sentinel refrigerator? I noticed a few things that you may wish to edit. "It's or mine." What is ? There seems to be a word or two missing here. "It's lair" should be "its lair", no apostrophe needed. "A loud humming viberates." It is spelled 'vibrates'. "A good thing I did not loose it" should be "lose it." Again, "it's breach" is "its breech." "Waiting to unleash death upon the unexpecting." Do you mean 'unsuspecting'? "Due the dance of victory" should be "do the dance of victory."This is a funny description of outsmarting a toaster and obtaining the objective, toasted bread. Thanks for sharing this with me.
