The Musical Snowglobe

So, this story starts as any night gaming would. I was playing my Xbox one with my friends, I wear one headphone on, and one off because I have a mischievous cat, so I like to listen for him. Well, my mother died about 3 or 4 years ago now, and I smelled cigarette smoke, she loved to smoke. That's what killed her. Anyway, I didn't really think anything of the smell, so I shrugged and went on gaming. Well, all the sudden....I get this weird, cold feeling. I turn to look and see where the coldness is coming from, then bang. My wife's musical snow globe begins to play on its own, and this thing didn't only play for a few seconds. It played for a minute straight. I just stared at it in disbelief, I wasn't really scared or anything. Only a little startled by it. But I chalked it up to my mom just letting me know everything's gonna be okay. So I shrugged and went back to gaming. Sometimes I do stare at that showglobe though.. just waiting to see if it does that again... thanks for reading.
