At one time in my life, a shapeshifted, demonically possessed maniac crashing through a window and trying to rip my face off would have come as an enormous and nasty surprise.But that time was pretty much in the past.

Santa, himself, was sitting behind his desk when I walked in. “Hello,” he greeted me. He looked exactly as one would expect. Long white beard and a thick head of white hair. His cheeks were rosy and he truly did look jolly when he smiled at me. “You’re the new Karma.” “Yes,” I smiled back all the while waiting for the scolding. “Would you care for a cookie?” He motioned to the heaped plate on the corner of his desk. “No thanks.” I didn’t want to get thrown out mid-bite. He was Santa. He knew everything. Any second, he’d tell me to get the hell out of his office, throwing coal at me as I ran.

I can see you’re busy.” I made a step backward toward the door. “I got time for you.” Guess I was going to have to see this thing out until the coal started flying. I watched as he sat. He was still smiling. I took the seat across from him. Maybe he didn’t know. “I know why you’re nervous.” Well, there went that. “Karma, sometimes there are gray areas in life.

An idiot would have known he was pissed, but beyond that, I got nothing. Why was he the only person in my life I had so much trouble reading. He started to lean down and I realized I was out of time. “Don’t you dare,” I said, trying to delay whatever action he was preparing to take. Looks like my stall quota had been all used up. If I’d had any delusions of him cutting me any slack because of what had happened between us, I was quickly realizing how wrong I’d been. He seemed even worse.
