_____________________________________
You wake up to the awful, piercing sound of your alarm clock, just as you have your entire life. It is time for work, but you know in your heart that work is not on your agenda today. You have just awoken from the most mysterious of dreams.
You can't quite remember the entire dream, but you are almost certain there was a giraffe. You also remember a giant umbrella towering over the horizon, which seemed strange given the partly cloudy weather.
Convinced that this dream holds the key to your destiny, you decide to skip work, if just for today, to begin a journey that might one day fulfill the prophecy described in your dream. What you will find, you are not yet sure. But you remain certain it have something to do with that giraffe. And what could that umbrella have meant, you ask yourself repeatedly.
You decide that, given your sore wrist, it would be better not to pour yourself the standard bowl of cereal today. You instead opt for a trip to McDonald's, fully planning to order a Sausage McMuffin with Egg, a hashbrown, and some orange juice. You remain in your pajamas as you head out the door, because, you reason, a true journey must be taken one step at a time. Your only clean pair of jeans shrunk considerably in its last washing, and requires half-steps to avoid castration.
Your pajamas consist of a long-sleeved t-shirt and a pair of white underwear.
McDonald's is a good 6 blocks from your run-down apartment. But a healthy walk never hurt anybody, you tell yourself. You know in your heart that this is the right thing to do. Any previous doubts about abandoning work in search of a dream are dispelled as people-strangers!- on the street look to you in awe and amazement. Some laugh in the glimmer of the warm glow you emit. For others, that glow is too strong. They turn away and shield their eyes. "It's OK," you tell them, "I was once you. Someday you too will embark on your journey."
You begin to notice the sound of footsteps, footsteps that seem to follow your every turn and street-crossing. Not wanting to appear rude, you don't look back. Surely, this person is just another pedestrian. Just to be certain, though, you walk around your current block. The footsteps trail behind you still.
You are being followed; you are sure of it now, but you are afraid to look back. You continue on for a block, and take a quick left. Quickly you come to the horrifying realization that you and your follower are the only two people in the immediate area. The footsteps are quickly drawing nearer and nearer...
It is time for you to make a decision. Do you...
A) Use the Surprise Spin Attack, as described in http://www.ubersite.com/m/45712
B) Jump into an open window you see on your immediate left.

This is a life or death situation, people! The Surprise Spin Attack is deadly: I would not discount its power so quickly.
