When I awoke this morning I was confronted by a large, light cardboard box. I barely managed to put off opening it until I finished my morning tasks. I tore it open and was elated to find:

1 Lengthy Handwritten Letter 1 Sonic Screwdriver 1 24-Track Mix CD (looks good, haven’t had a chance to listen yet) 1 Handcrafted Miniature Time And Relative Dimension In Space (TARDIS) Spacecraft containing: Several Million Starburst Candies

I quickly opened and read the letter, but I didn’t get far. Somewhere into the third paragraph, I heard a muffled, high-pitched “exteeeeerminate” emanating from inside the tiny ship. I froze in terror. This was a sound I knew well, horrifying even in this squeaky pitch. As the miniature cardboard door began to creak open, I knew I had to move fast. I reached for the sonic screwdriver, praying to the Face of Boe that batteries were included. I quickly aimed and flipped the switch that sent a lethal sonic pulse through the minuscule Dalek.

“exterrrrrminooorrrooorrroooo...”

I let out the breath I didn’t realize I had been holding for the last minute. Gingerly pushing open the door, I scanned its contents for additional threats. Nothing but tiny control panels and what appears to be several tons of Starburst Candies. For an unassuming cardboard-and-construction-paper model, it must be significantly bigger on the inside.

Thank you for the incredible gift! It made my day!
