Ugly Christmas Sweater on the Loose
By M.B. Alexander
Every year Christmas sweater makers around the solar system rack their minds to think of the most insane sweater they can conjure. Some think of them as ugly, I find them enduring. The people of Planet Christmas call it their uniform, but Wendy Grace may have taken it a step further than all of us.
Miss Grace thought it would be a fantastic idea to create some high-level Ai sweaters with emotional software, self-awareness, and functioning eyes. Her family thought it was less of a fantastic idea, especially her sister who has been stuck in her rogue smart sweater for the past 48 hours.
The sweater has been dragging Tillie Grace from one Christmas festivity to another. It took a long time for those passing by her to realize that she was being held hostage by the very vivid clothing item. After all, when someone sees a festive snowman laughing nonsensically on a red knitted background sweater, one does not immediately jump to the conclusion that this said sweater has hijacked the person wearing it.
Tillie's mixed messages did not help her at all in that matter. Running through Madison Square Garden, yelling, “Help! My sweater is nuts!” and “I don’t want to wear this wear this sweater anymore!!” can be very confusing; anyone wearing an ugly sweater can shout that out.
Luckily, Wendy’s other sweaters were a bit less rowdy and actually helped with the search and ultimately Tillie and the naughty, ugly, conscious sweater, were found passed out by an eggnog fountain. The latter was drenched in the jolly liquid.
What will they do with these new sweater beings, after the holiday? It’s hard to say. But for now they are trying to enjoy the endless caroling and Santa’s audio biography courtesy of their lovely, sometimes ugly, smart sweaters.
