Story Starter – Saturday Mix, 4 November 2023
As I was posting my Fandango’s Flashback post, and at other times lately, this thing appears and makes it difficult to see what I’m writing as the keyboard stays in the way and then lines. Does anyone know how to permanently get rid of whatever the hell it is?

HELP!

If I stay very quiet under this tree they won’t suspect a thing. Well, I am a feline after all, so they might suspect, but they won’t be able to prove anything. That’s why it’s so nice having a dog in the family. They’re so big and clumsy, they always get the blame.
I see the target. When everyone leaves the room, I’ll make my move. I’m surprised they put those fronds in the Christmas arrangement in the first place. I do love them. They are furry and flop around like a squirrel’s tail, and squirrels are so much fun to chase.
Okay, Barney just lumbered in and there’s not a human in sight! Perfect! (Sneaking, sneaking, jump!) I grab a couple of fronds and escape to my cushion. I stretch out and pretend I’m asleep.
“Oh, Barney! Bad dog, bad dog”
I timed it perfectly. Heh, heh, heh…

Sneezing
Coughing
Spitting germs
Going out
With wet hair
They were earned.
Honeyed tea
Soothes my throat
My dizzy head
Feels like I’m on a boat.
Thermometer handy
Temperature hot
Is this all the OJ I’ve got?
Friends offer food
Visits are tiring
Soup is good
But not inspiring.
I’m ready for bed
But sleep won’t come
My whole body’s on a feverish hum.

What’s something you believe everyone should know.
All men are created equal

skinny branches reach
to light from a misty moon
tucked in crooked wood
secrets hidden in midnight
darkness enhanced in black lines
only the sorcerers know
