the big picture window was ominously black by 6pm. night comes so early and lasts so long these days he thought.
heaving a sigh and looking back down, he continued his work, taking note, yet again, of the deadline circled on his desk calendar.
SPLICK
"what the...?" he looked up. a nerf gun arrow was stuck to the window. he leaned closer to the window, squinting into the darkness.
SPLICK, SPLICK. SPLICK-SPLICK-SPLICK.
it continued and he jolted back as a rush of arrows assalted the window. curiously, they stuck in an ill-balanced heart shape.
his wife emerged from the shadows, blowing imaginary smoke from the barrel of her gun, and laughing. he had never been more in love.

a) she obviously has incredible aim, and b) you've done this, haven't you.
i am quite impressed. i was assuming your comment would question the accuracy of the word "splick." i'm quite proud of that, by the way.
honestly, i can't think of any other words that onomatopoeically describe nerf projectiles.
Delightful and cute! I could see you doing this!
And...."splick" seems to fit. :-)
