Chapter 1

Oh, great. Just what I needed today. A gun pointed at me. I mean, seriously, could this day get any better? I move to a new house, thinking it'll be a fresh start, and the universe decides to welcome me with a bang. Literally.

Okay, okay, stay calm. Don't panic. I'm not exactly sure what the appropriate response is when someone points a gun at you, but I'm pretty sure screaming like a banshee isn't it. Deep breaths, in and out. In and out. Remember, I'm an adult. I can handle this. Well, at least I hope I can.

But seriously, what did I do to deserve this? Did I accidentally cut off the world's supply of bubble wrap? Did I unknowingly insult a secret society of sharpshooters? I mean, I did have that mishap at the supermarket earlier, but I didn't realize it was a crime worthy of execution. Note to self: Avoid the cereal aisle in the future. It's a danger zone.

Maybe this is all a big misunderstanding. Perhaps the person with the gun thinks I'm someone else. Yes, that's it! Maybe they mistook me for an undercover super spy or a master criminal. Although, let's be honest, I'm more like a bumbling sidekick in my own life story. The only thing I've mastered is the art of tripping over my own feet.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Ah, if only I had my bubble wand with me now. It's hard to take life-threatening situations seriously when you have bubbles floating around. Maybe I could distract the gunman with a giant bubble in the shape of a cute little bunny or a dancing unicorn. They'd have no choice but to put down the gun and applaud my bubble-blowing skills. Or perhaps they'd just think I'm even more insane and shoot me. Yeah, let's not go down that path.

Alright, Mili, think. What can I do to defuse this situation? Should I try negotiating? "Excuse me, sir or madam, could you kindly point that gun elsewhere? It's really cramping my style." Yeah, probably not the best idea. 

Okay, Mili, think! I could pretend to faint, like those damsels in distress from old movies. Nah, too cliché. How about I unleash my secret martial arts skills that I definitely don't have? Yeah, that'll scare him off... or make him laugh himself into submission.

Or maybe I should just make a run for it. I mean, they say adrenaline can make you do extraordinary things, right? Perhaps I'll suddenly discover hidden superpowers or the speed of a cheetah. Although, knowing my luck, I'll probably end up face-planting on the pavement before even making it two steps.

But hey, at least it would make for an entertaining story. "Remember that time I moved to a new house and got mistaken for a cereal bandit? Yeah, that was a wild ride. Literally."
