Slaxxor

Today at my girlfriend’s house before a marching band competition, she and I were playing mercy. This, in retrospect, was a terrible decision, due to the fact that she will ***NEVER*** ***EVER*** give up. It was insane. Not to brag, but I’ve got fairly strong hands, and I’m pretty good at mercy. She, on the other hand, has tiny hands that are quite pliable. Here’s how it happened: once the match began, I basically just crushed her hand, which to me looked very painful, but she took it with amazing composure. I kept asking her to just say mercy, since she’s pretty much incapable of inflicting any pain on me, but she wouldn’t. I tried everything I could do to get her to say mercy without actually breaking her fingers, which I thought I had done a few times, but she just wouldn’t say the word “mercy.” This went on for about 15 minutes, and she was obviously in a good deal of pain, which probably hurt me almost as much to watch, but STILL wouldn’t give up. I was, at this point, begging her to say mercy, because I obviously couldn’t, owing to the fact that I was in no pain. She refused, stating that she hadn’t won anything all week and that she was sure as hell going to win at this. I thought we were at in impasse until, in a spasm of pain, she slammed her face into my elbow (which was in the air, twisting her arm), and started to cry. At this point, my heart broke (man that sounded corny, but it’s true). Our friend, who had been ignoring us until this point, got her some ice. Amazingly, she (my girlfriend) STILL wouldn’t give up!!! I had no choice but to say mercy and try my best to comfort her. She was extremely nice about it and didn’t blame me at all, but I felt (still feel) terrible about it. Anyway, moral of the story, do not play mercy with your girlfriend if she is as determined and as tolerant-of-pain as mine is. Unless you don’t like her. In which case, your call. But please, do not accidentally have your girlfriend bash her face on your elbow like I did. (reworded from “smash your girlfriend’s nose at her request)

Thank you for reading.
