An indistinct hum mysteriously emanated near the stone where I was sitting. I had just sat down, taking a break from the pounding of the safari jeep track. “I’m getting too old for this”, I said as every ounce of my sixty year old body started to ache. The popular vacation tour was a surprise gift from his kids. Little did they all know the humming was caused by a disturbed hive of killer bees. Joe didn’t know he could run that fast!

RDP Sunday: hum

NASA has gifted you a newly invented experimental Invisibility Cloak. You have it for 72 hours – it’s all yours with no caveats or questions asked – how will you use it? For good or for pranking?
Give some examples of your usage. I think I might visit the upstairs neighbor to see what he’s building with all the drops and heavy bonks when he startles me.

What would you never do for low money? Ever? But if the money was high enough, what would you do? I’ve always worked for low money so used to it and have no idea what I’d do if offered high money?

How do you feel if a fly lands on your ice cream – will you discard it to the trash or continue to eat it? Throw it out.

What’s the craziest thing you could ever write about that is ultimately utterly random and abstract and not typically you or your style? Rodeos

Is there any time that a yes is a no and a no is a yes? Probably. I’m more straightforward.

You have died; what will you come back as – a brick in the wall, a mushroom, a dysfunctional ghost, a memory, or reincarnated into someone or something else? Hmmm maybe an eagle .

Do you believe in the five-second rule concerning dropped foods? Nope.

If you were a weed, what would you be? Dandelion.

How many ducks does it take to swim in a pond? I’ve been watching the Great British Baking Show and love the scenes of the gardens and ducks.

How many credible edible slices can you create from a 12″ pizza? It depends on how many kids are eating it.

You are watching a film, playing a game or otherwise occupied and thoroughly engaged and engrossed when suddenly the doorbell/telephone chimes/rings – do you answer it or let it go? If I know who it is I answer it, otherwise no.

“Oh my, it’s the end of the world as we know it! The unbelievable has happened, and the dead are rising as zombies and running rampage through your town – You have ten minutes to pack your survival kit for a world that has turned upside down – what five items will you be packing? My backpack is already loaded and goes everywhere with me but extra water, peanut butter, Hershey bars, protein bars and toilet paper😂

Weekend Writing Prompt #326 – Creed

Friday has arrived and with it, me and your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I’m hungry. Are you hungry?

Thought my granddaughter coming so made Rice Krispie treats. I make them with added peanut butter and butterscotch chips. I had not made them for about four years, used a different type of crisped rice and don’t cook much since every surface is too high. I pulled out a dining room chair and covered it in a towel and stirred the hot concoction. Let’s just say I’m out of practice—they are like eating concrete😂 But the idea was there and the ❤️. You’d need a a wrecking ball (tune).

Writephoto – Mask

7/20/17 by rugby843

‘Twas a devil mask I bought

Not giving it a second thought

I love all of Halloween

In this mask I want to be seen

I donned it on that fateful night

Noticed something not quite right

It stayed on all night through

Even on the next day, too.

In fact I found it a useless task 

To rid myself of this devil mask.

I sought the owner of the store

He said no refunds, but I implored

Help I said, I can’t get this off

He turned away, heard him scoff-

Should have read the print so fine

“Once donned, you are mine”

I pleaded almost with a yelp

Please, I need some help!

He pushed a note into my palm

Then stood there, remaining calm

“Meet Me Midnight In The Alley

Then I’ll Tell You Of Your Tally”

I met the devil on that night

His burning fire was the sight

I asked him what was the price

To rid me of this mask device

The fire roared and took its toll

The mask was removed, also my soul.

“Everybody’s calling it ‘the miracle house,'” Trip Millikin, who owns the home at 271 Front St., told NPR. But that label makes him uncomfortable, he added, citing the flood of emotions that came with learning that while his house was spared, his community was gutted.

“Our hearts are broken from what’s happened,” he said. “We love our neighborhood and love our friends, and just cannot believe that that world that we knew so well and loved — it’s gone forever.”

Joe knew his stew was still the most elaborate concoction in the entire cook off, but dared not express that thought openly. The steaming pan created a hotspot of activity by former cook off attendees, but he just stood there smiling, ignoring some of the envious contestants, who never let bygones be bygones.

justice for the innocent looks

seems fairytale in children’s books

our governments are full of crooks

there is no justice in this world

***

to see justice is what you need

start with the young, then plant a seed

set an example free of greed

teach them only by your actions

Joe stood there thinking of his vain attempt, with a boggled look on his face. His goal of course, was to rid his beloved cabin of the tiny vermin which seemed to think every crack near a window was an opportunity. There had been a small vein of a tunnel near the porch, but Joe thought he had blocked it. He decided to sit back near the fire, ignore any unwanted visitors and enjoy the rest of the afternoon. A hot toddy would certainly smooth things out.

(My father-in-law used to make these for me when I had a bad cold🙄😀)
