One Liner Wednesday

Freedom isn’t free

I hear the protest plea

Chanted from millions here in the states

By all types of people and their mates

The ones who know this at day’s rest

Are military families who lost their best.

“On Aging” by Maya Angelou

“And I’m the same person I was back then”

Sitting here and

Bored of course, I’m

Lonely, the

Schedule always the same

Just a name, not a person

Or apartment number where I

Live, not the home where I was

I wish sometimes I could go back

Wishing time away, I do now and then.

It was a good thing I already knew her, it was Helen from across the hall…but I never knew she had a gun! Quickly I stepped back, thinking I was going to be her next victim! Helen’s hand holding the gun was shaking. When she saw my reaction she dropped it. In doing so, it went off and shot me in the leg. I fell down and screamed, “Helen, what the hell?”
After the 911 call and my trip in an ambulance, it turned out Helen had shot a vase in her own apartment. It was warning a burglar she found when she opened her own door. Lucky for him it scared him off and he left through her window. Both of us learned a lesson – keep your windows and doors locked!

Julie tried to delete the phone call. She was tired of thinking someone was vindictive enough to have found her diary and spread her personal thoughts on the internet. Julie’s maiden voyage to cell phone privacy rules were only on a basic level. Now she trusted nobody and the friend she thought reliable received a strong reprimand.
