Fast Friday 2: Once More with Speeding (2/27/15)

Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Emily is capable of superhuman speeds. Here she stakes a solid claim to her domain. Engaging in what she calls "Conquering the Ottoman Empire" (aka sitting on/rubbing all over/lying on the floral Ottoman) Emily is in full-on speed demon mode. First she is sitting sedately, then something catches her attention. No one knows what sort of things she sees when she looks around like this -- ghost angels, unicorn flies, crab cakes, the spirit of Lil' Sebastan, alternate dimensions, blue and black/white and gold dresses -- but Emily, ever vigilant quickly springs into action knowing she must defend her territory from even perceived threats. She quickly marks the Ottoman and throws herself over it covering as much of the space as possible so the phantom intruder cannot claim it. She finally rests, knowing she was successful in her mission. The Ottoman is hers. History is written by the victor, and she knows that today she is the one to tell the tale of this event.
