Failed Pull Cord

Collaboratively Written By: Amirandis, CJ Foster, Tracy-Shults-Wright & Lee Todd Lacks

The pull cord failed
She railed at the loss and reached
As her brain involuntarily thought up synonyms for "splat"..
Thinking she may have possibly forgot to shut off the stove before she left to do this jump.
It's the what if's that always get you.
and she was gotten, if you must know. 
Gotten in a way nothing prepared her for.
She came to me, quite sheepishly, and said 
"Darlin', I think it's stuck." 
My eyes grew wide as I replied, 
"What in the holy fuck?!"
She was feeling abused,
I was feeling confused,
For upon our extrication journey we had yet to embark.
