What was I thinking?

What was I thinking? Decades pass, but you think you are still in your 20's. I defied laws of physics, but to what conclusion? Vanity overcame common sense and reason. I accomplished what I attempted to do, but to what conclusion? I lay helpless on the bed - unable to move anything below my waist. I could barely breathe. Each breath was precious.

I could roll off the bed, but I would end up on cold, tiled floor with my face flattened. What was I thinking?

Siri and Alexa were banned due to advice from "experts" who proclaimed that bedrooms were not the place for electronics. Now here I lay, unable to move, unable to breathe. I could possibly escape in about a week without food, but I would die before then due to dehydration. Tears rolled down my cheeks. They will find me dead, alone on my bed.

I turned and saw my only hope for escape. A pair of scissors were in reach. I was able to extend my arm and get the scissors. I kept cutting the fabric and tried to free myself. It was difficult with my arthritis - the fabric was so thick. I finally got enough cut away to be able to breathe. Knowing that without those scissors, I would have died. I took the remains of the fabric and threw them in the trash. Never again will I attempt to put on skinny jeans.
