Face Off

Bolting out of elevator they ran towards the roof.  Several running feet gave  chase up the staircase.  The roof door opened with a bang! Face off!

Every heart present on the roof was pounding! Then a voice begged, “Please come home!  We are very sorry!  We promise never ever to trouble you again! Do come back! We cannot live without you please!!”  Then there was sound of sniveling.  Pin drop silence ensued.  

The couple, who had bolted to the roof, looked at one another in wonder!  Confronting them in their hideaway’s roof were their two sons and their bosom buddies.  Tired by their punk son’s foolish pranks and bad school reports, they had finally called it quits to parenting and had bolted from the house!

The role reversal shocked the kids.  Stuck with fending for themselves alone in their home, they realized their stupidity.  Chastened, they shaped up and started searching for their parents.  Finally they retrieved an old voicemail from the phone log and found them. 

After lots of begging and with their friends as witness to their solemn promise to behave and study in future, the parents relented and returned home.  All was well in their home sweet home finally.

 

Shock tactics struck pay dirt in more ways than one!

Green Beans

Green meant freedom. Green meant owning myself. No more nine to five drudgery. Living life large calling the shots!! I’d be the whole enchilada not a mere cog. That was my repeat one and only dream 24/7. Carrying green wads in pocket, drinking margaritas in tall green stemware with briny rims topped with cute umbrellas.lottery ticket. I put back everything inside the tiny purse and put the purse in my coat pocket and lifted the pretty lady. In the car I splashed some water on her face and opened the car door outside her house. I’d found out her address from her wallet. Incoherently she thanked me and slunk home. I drove off.a mega millions

Last Sunday whilst watching baseball the TV ad had grabbed me. “Mega Millions jackpot is now 135 million dollars!! MY mouth salivated and I scrambled to buy yet another ticket!! One hundred thirty five million could see me through many years and wild dreams. I wanted to win badly.

Everyone had left. I too forced myself to weave my way home. Ten lottery tickets burnt a hole in my pocket heated by raging frustrated fires. Suddenly my boozy weaving feet hit a can and I toppled over a warm body!! My bleary eyes saw me
astride a sexy siren with red hair and huge emerald chip eyes. She was drunk as a skunk. Her tiny purse had regurgitated on the street a lipstick, gold pocket comb, car keys, green filled wallet and

Next morning with morning coffee I compared the lottery results. Bust. I emptied my pockets and remembered the lady’s purse. Just to ensure I did not dream her, I put my hand in my coat pocket. No purse but I found another lottery ticket. I brought that to the table and checked the numbers!! My heart stopped- this ticket had hit the jackpot!
I was swimming in someone else’s green beans!

Lethal Injection

She was feeling suffocated.  Her body was shriveling. “Oh My God, he is going to kill me! I have to fight! I was born after a great struggle.  I will fight them tooth and nail”.  

She came into her own after many a blood shed.  The quiet streets became her stomping grounds.  Anyone vunerable she found,  she overcame, cannibalized. Slowly her tentacles spread everywhere.  Her victims felt like death warmed up.   

The hush could be sliced with a knife!  Everyone watched with bated breath.  After extensive testing a lethal injection had been prepared with no side effects.  Specialists had gathered to watch.   

“My rule is over”. 

Headlines blared.  Medical breakthrough.  Aids vaccine found.

The Pick UP

The Pick Up

 She sat twirling a margarita at the bar!   She licked salt off the rim and wished she could lick the salt off her wounds as well.  His harsh words had cut grievously and she cringed within. Five years of togetherness, a washout.

 

 

His tap on shoulder took her by surprise.  She looked into stranger’s deep mesmerizing eyes and fell headlong.  They left in his well appointed black sedan.

 

After a night of intense love making they fell into a deep sleep.

 

When she woke up, she found herself in a castle lying next to a coffin.

Mirror showed elongated incisors in her mouth and pierce marks on neck, she fainted.

The Film Star

The hotshot film star left with a flourish followed by staff. 

The limo gobbled up the miles and soon the town spires were visible.

They wished to reach home before nightfall. 

At the final hairpin curve before the mansion gate, the unexpected happened!  A frightened doe stood in their path. 

The limo driver instinctively swerved to avoid the doe and crashed into the mansion’s outer wall, bursting into flames.  The staff that was on their heels quickly dragged the star and driver to safety.  It was almost midnight.

 At stroke of midnight, a bloodcurdling howl was heard from within the mansion.  A werewolf’s silhouette was visible in the bay window.
