Do you have a “side hustle”? I’m painting a 60’ X 12’ deck.
My surroundings are tranquil. Once this scene was interrupted when a mixed herd ran down the hill toward a pond.
I’m on a ladder; paint brush and can in either hand. Imagine my horror as thoughts of these critters racing through my precarious position fill my mind.
Envision the ladder getting hit. Paint can, brush, myself, and ladder all fly in opposite directions. Fat girl wouldn’t fare well.
The animals get their bellies full of water and grass. I noticed an electric fence between us. Praise God!
The End
I tried condensing 2 of my stories down to 100 words. The complete Flying Objects is an earlier post. This was entered into a Readers Digest 100 word story submission.
