How Embarrassing!

I was pumped to play laser tag tonight. I haven't played in a couple years now and I was ready to compete against those young folk! I walked into the room where they split the obnoxious group of people extremely confidently; you could say I had some swagger (or is it swag...)

Then, we were sent off to the room with the laser tag equipment. I picked up one of the last red lit gear and it was trenched in sweat. I didn't think of the hygienic aspect of the entire experience; if I did, I would have been freaked out! Instead, I considered myself lucky to have had gear that was potentially used by a laser tag legend. I was ready to shoot it up!

I get into the game and I'm nimbly dodging all those lights. I'm shooting and shooting but I can't seem to be getting any kills. At first, I thought it was just terrible beginner's luck but after spending more than half the game not having a single kill, I knew something was wrong. I retreat to my color's base and I ask a teammate if they can see if my gear is broken... Turns out, I have forgotten to use my non-shooting hand to cover the bottom of the gun that enables the gun to shoot... How embarrassing!

But that last minute or two, I was on an unstoppable rampage! Those teenagers had no chance of surviving my laser gun! Though, I probably cost my team a victory...

That reminds me of my laser tag idea!
