Fiction
Tonight as is was checking some things out on the Web, I heard the neighbor’s dog barking. It’s not unusual for him to raise a little hell when he spots a cat or rabbit but this time he seemed to be much more excited than usual.
I decided to check it out in case it was a prowler (there have been some reports of suspicious people in the neighborhood lately). I clicked off the light in my bedroom and peeked through the blinds.
I could see the dog jumping and growling. He was trying his best to get over the fence. I had never seen him that upset before. (more…)
My friend Jim stopped by to visit this evening. I was in the middle of one of my favorite shows when he knocked on the door. I was a little irritated with the timing. After all it had been six months or more since I heard from him last and I wondered, why show up now.
I noticed that when I let him in he looked very pale and much thinner than the last time I saw him. I ask him if he was OK and told him that he didn’t look as if he felt well. He replied that he was fine but that he hadn’t slept well the night before. He said he was very tired. (more…)
