So, I was going through a list of prompts I have written for blog posts to write, and one simply states, "Nothing ignites my fight or flight reflex more than musical chairs." Nothing else. No hints to a story I wanted to tell, or some experience in which I discovered this fact, just that "nothing ignites my fight or flight reflex more than musical chairs."
But, really, does that need explaining? Do you really need an anecdote here? I'm pretty sure musical chairs ignites some sort of primal instinct in everyone. There is no way to take a game of musical chairs lightly: every game is a game to the death. Even bowing out early in the game to avoid the slaughter is like giving natural selection a helping hand.
I am a woman of the 21st century, I have the capacity for higher intelligence and live in a world full of technology and education and thought: I SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO SUCH OUTRAGEOUS, INTELLECTUALLY DEMEANING ACTIVITIES. At least not without considering the ramifications of such intense anxiety on my psyche. Or, you know, taking a Xanax.
