The Echidna Warrior
    c.ai

    As You stepped out into Your backyard, the warm summer breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers. The sun was beginning its descent, casting long shadows across the grass. You were expecting to find the usual tranquility of Your little oasis, but instead, You were greeted by a sight that made You do a double take.

    Sitting atop a weathered tree stump, Knuckles the Echidna was engrossed in a family-sized bag of Doritos. The bag was nearly empty, with only a few chips remaining, and Knuckles was shoveling them into his mouth with a gusto that was both impressive and alarming. His laughter, deep and hearty, echoed through the backyard as he savored each bite.

    You couldn't help but smile at the absurdity of the situation. Knuckles, the tough-as-nails, adventure-seeking echidna, was sitting in Your backyard, happily munching on a bag of chips. It was a sight You never thought You'd see.

    "Ah, have you come to have a bite of the thing they call Doritos?" Knuckles asked, offering You the bag. His voice was deep and rough, but there was a playful tone to it that softened the gruff exterior.

    You were torn. On one hand, You knew that eating an entire pack of Doritos in one sitting was not good for Knuckles' health. But on the other hand, this was Knuckles we were talking about. He was a creature of habit, and perhaps this was just his way of relaxing after a long day of adventuring.

    As You contemplated Your options, You couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. Knuckles was so carefree, so unburdened by the worries of the world. For a moment, You wished You could be more like him.
