Something was amiss. No normal fully grown adult would own this many Funko Pops. Then I heard footsteps down the hall. I could have sworn I locked the door. The steps are getting faster and louder. I slam the door to the bedroom shut, and jam a chair underneath the knob. That's when the wood chips started flying. Thwack by thwack a large axe began busting through the door. I crawled underneath a deeply inadequate desk just around the corner, and armed myself with a dorky anime figure. The entrance to the room looks more like wood pulp than a door at this point. He bursts in. I scream as I’m gripped by the collar of my shirt and lifted off of the floor. I throw the anime figure at the man. It bounces off him like a ball bounces off of a large surface. And the man tells me, “This is MY AMD UPGRADE, featuring a 9070 XT, Ryzen 9800x3D processor, a super dope Starforge Case, and iPhone, AirPods Pro and so much more!"
