Stuck In a Christmas Snow Globe

The lines of the glass blur, the scenery blends except for that strange, semi-translucent curvature. What lay between me and my living room, clear yet an acrylic boundary to freedom; as I survey my post nap situation, with mortal eyes I realize... I’m stuck in a snow globe. My snow globe, with the quaint pre-Victorian house and the sleigh and snowman in the front yard; I’m tiny and my living room furniture, gargantuan as though a giant resided within my house. A parallel world perhaps? No, it’s my world and at some point between twilight sleep and awakening, I ended up inside of my own globe. My it’s cold in here, oh no, it’s starting to snow and this snow is not glitter... what is the Grinch doing in my Living room?

You certainly imagined being in that globe--and saw for yourself the world from within--creative sights and sounds--splendid imagery, MLK.

A delightful scenario, ML. Reads like an episode from Twilight Zone.
