Reindeer Games 7

-

It was finally the big night, and everyone was excited. A festive buzz filled the air. All the gifts had been wrapped and were ready to go in Santa’s bag, Santa’s suit was ironed, and the team was hitched to the sleigh. The reindeer pawed at the ground impatiently. 
    “I’m soooo excited!” Dancer exclaimed. 
    “Me too! But I'm also a little nervous.” Added Commit, which was surprising coming from the usually confident, and speedy buck. 
    “We’re exervous!” Cupid exclaimed, giddy with glee. 
    “Ex-what?” Blizen asked, baffled. 
    “Ex, er, vous! It’s when you are excited and nervous!” She explained. 
Soon Santa came, with his sack full of toys on his back, and wearing his newly ironed suit. 
    “Ho! Ho! Ho! I am in quite the jolly mood!”  He said, climbing into the sleigh. 
    “Are you ready?” Rudolph asked the team. 
They nodded excitedly. Santa Gently whipped the reins. 
    “On Dasher! On Dancer! On Prancer! On Vixen! On Commit! On Cupid! On Donner! On Bizen! Dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!” 
They Were off like a shot, over the north pole, where the elves waved their hats in the air wishing them good luck and safe travels. (All except Larry, who was busy grumbling about not getting a raise.)

Cats

  You know what's funny?  About 50%* of all the stories I have written or thought of are about cats. And 20%* at least have cats in them. That only leaves 30%* for normal non-cat stories. 30%!!* I don't have any cats!! I have been scratched by a cat!!! I am allergic to cats!!! So why do I write so much about cats?  I'm glad you asked. 😉 I have no idea. 😅 Maybe since I don't have a cat and I don't know what it's like to have to clean out a little box and bathe a clawed ball of fury, Maybe I think that cats are just cute and perfect in every way? Maybe. Here's something to think about; When I was little (like, maybe 8) I wrote (or drew. mostly drew :) a story about a dog who was a sheriff trying to catch this cat who was a thief. in the end they fell in love, so no harm no foul and no went to jail. (mostly because you found out that she only stole socks and I guess there are no laws about stealing those) But the funny thing is, by the end of the story, the d...

Long Road Home

-
I'm driving down this small road in the middle of a beautiful forest not knowing where I'm going, but not really caring anyway. All I know is I'm going somewhere and whatever happens I'm having fun. But then My phone pings. The Google Map app floods the screen. "I see that the route you're on now is slow," Google Map says. "But I have found a much better and more efficient route for you to take. Would you like to continue?" Faster is better, right? I start to wonder if I should try something bigger than my little road. Diving in the woods had been fine for so long, I wonder what this new path will be like. "Sure," I say, excitedly pressing "continue".  The directions veer me off my path. There's no turning back now.  The road takes me to a wide speedy highway where I get bumped along by car after car, each clearly going big places. And there are so many places to go now, exits right and left.  Which one is  my exit? Did I ...

Adventures on Cataroo Island Entry 0.1

-
  Entry 0.1 Hello my fellow explorer! This is the first entry in my Private Adventure log book.  Or really I should say the last. But if I put this at the back of the book that wouldn’t make much sense, and you need to read the start to understand the end. Do you see? I am the only one who has permission to look inside this book. So unless you are me (which I know you are not because you are you) you cannot continue reading my extraordinary accounts of my adventures on Cataroo Island. So no matter how much you want to know about what happened to Cataroo Island, rules are rules. Good day. … You’re still reading, aren't you? Fine. I guess since I don’t think you would even listen to me if I said otherwise, You have permission to read on.  BUT! Before you continue, you must promise three things; One, for the safety of Cataroo Island, you will not ever, under any circumstances, share this account with anyone! (Besides trusted friends and relatives if you must) Two, you will t...
