Scary Sherry

Posted: July 4, 2012 in Uncategorized, Zany

There is nothing for it. If I am ever going to find Nancy, I am going to have to get help. Scary Sherry. She is a lean, almost feral looking seeker.  It helps that she is also my sister,she can’t reject my request.

Her plan is to scale the fence from the neighbors yard, but first she has to locate Nancy without alerting any predators that may be lurking nearby. She whips out her slingshot and starts slinging small stones into the areas where Nancy most likely would be hiding. After several attempts, she hears a muffled,” Heh! Found her and over the fence she goes.  Now to get Nancy out of there.

This is going to require some finesse. Scary Sherry works her way to Nancy and they huddle under a pool ladder that Nancy was using for shelter while they come up with a plan of escape. Their best option is to crawl along the fence line to the Southeast corner. The yard dips down there and the fence will be easier to climb over.

Making their way through the long grass, they pause. There is something up ahead of them. Something chirping like a bird, several somethings.

Scary Sherry pops her head up to get a look and something else pops up to eye her. Compies! They are not lethal by themselves, but as a pack they can be deadly.

Armed with Scary Sherry’s slingshot and a pool skimmer for Nancy, they start whacking  and plinking away at these pesky dinos. Soon the compies scatter and as suddenly as they appeared, they are gone.

It will be dark soon. It is getting hard to see where they are going. They decide it is best to go back to the shelter until daybreak and try again then. best to get under cover before the skeeters come out.

As the Grass Grows

It has now been two days since my sister Nancy ventured into the back yard and she still hasn’t returned.

At one time I thought I heard a faint cry for help, “Hep me! Hep me!” I have heard nothing since.

My concern for her safety makes me reckless, ready to dash out into the jungle my back yard has become in search of her. Good thing my son Cole is here. “Mom, don’t go out there. Don’t you watch the movies?” And my mother, full of wisdom, “Laura, think of your son.”

My mind is going crazy imaging how she will survive.

And what about shelter? Will she be able to find a safe place to hide until she is rescued?

She will have to navigate through the predators to get to the watering hole- my pool, and not all of  them are big.

Well, not compared to the raptors anyway.

With my son and mother urging me not to go in search of my sister, I am left with only one choice.
