You closed your eyes and prayed for luck as you tossed the dice into the air and kept them shut until you heard them clatter to the table. Your aunt cheered gleefully and you groaned as you both read sixes coming up on both dice. This was the worst possible outcome. You knew your aunt well enough that regardless of what you rolled, your challenge wouldn't be an easy one. But as excited as she was by your roll, you had a feeling she was going to make it even tougher.
"Oooh, it looks like you might be in for an extended stay with your favorite aunty Jake," she giggled, wrapping you up in a gentle fist and lifting you off of the bedside table. "But before we get the celebration started, let me explain your challenge to you," she said with a smile.
Tara twisted her fist so that you were facing the table you previously stood on.
"Now, you always were so annoying with your little sermons about the environment and how I should do a better job of protecting our planet and blah blah blah. You really got on a high horse for such a little guy," she said with a giggle. "But you didn't really know your audience. All you needed to tell me is that I could get paid for just dropping my beer cans in a different bucket instead of the trash. Since your mom told me that, I've been a regular green warrior," she said with a smile. You rolled your eyes. Of course all it took was a little financial motivation to get your aunt to do the right thing, she wouldn't just do the right thing because it's right.
"See that beer can there on the table? Since you care so much about our planet, be a doll and run it to the recycling bin for me. Before I started recycling, I used to just crush the cans and toss em in the garbage. Your challenge is to recycle that little can before I can...fall back into my old habits," she said with a smile before dropping you on the ground and placing the empty can next to you.
"You get a 10 second head start, better get to it!" she sang as she started counting.
You had no idea where your aunt kept her recycling, but you weren't going to waste your head start trying to get an answer. You picked up the can that was more than half your size and huffed your way out of her bedroom, crossing your fingers that she kept her bin in the kitchen like a normal person.
You had just escaped the doorway when you heard her shout out "Ten! Here I come squirt!" and felt the rumbling in the floor as her footsteps followed your path. You moved as quickly as you could to carry the can, that felt like it was growing heavier by the second, with you.
In an instant, your aunt had eclipsed your head start. She smiled as she made a show of stomping just inches away from your body, causing you to fight just to stay on your feet. Eventually though, it seemed like Tara had tired of her games and aimed her foot for the can and your small body, bringing it down with a pleasurable SMASH.
Your body and the can crumpled instantly beneath her bare sole. Her smile grew broader as she pressed her foot harder into the carpeted floor of her hallway, flattening you into the can. She laughed out loud when she removed her foot and saw you crushed beneath the flattened beer can. "Hm, maybe you were right Squirt. My carbon footprint may be getting a little too big after all. What do you think?" she asked with a smile.
Tara casually lifted you both up and gingerly disconnected your body from the aluminum.
"Aw! I'm sure you're just as excited as I am to know that your accommodations have been upgraded! A full two week stay! And who knows, maybe even longer!" she laughs as she carries you and the can the rest of the way to the kitchen.
"Just to show you that the challenge wasn't fixed, here's my recycling bin," she said, dropping the flattened can into a blue bin contained within an otherwise empty cabinet. As you heard the clang of aluminum on aluminum, your eyes shot wide open.
"Now, let me get you back to your room," Tara crowed, basking in her victory. Fortunately for you, your aunt had taken her time savoring her win and you had been able to reform.
"Aunt Tara wait! I....I actually won!" you shouted at the top of your lungs. Hearing your words made your aunt freeze and lift you to her face.
"How do you figure squirt?" she asked puzzled.
"Y....you said that I had to get the can to the recycling bin before you crushed it and tossed it in the trash. Well, from what I can tell, it's in the recycling right?" you said with a more-cocky-than-you-deserve-to-be smile on your face.
The look on your aunts face slowly darkened as she realized that you were right.
"Hmm, looks like all those college classes weren't useless afterall Squirt. Congratulations on your win. But seeing as how this might be our last day together, we better make it count. Right?"
Your cocky smile disappeared as you dreaded the plans that were likely forming in Tara's mind at that moment.
