Reindeer Games 9

-

A couple of them burst out laughing. 
    “It’th not thunny!” He said, his face burning red. 
    “Let’s get you unstuck.” Rudolph said. he couldn’t hide his amused face. He pulled Commit’s antlers.
    “Ow! Ow! Ow! Thtop! That Hurths!” Commit said. Rudolph stopped and looked at him. 
    “It is foolish to lick ice, and I don’t know how else to get you unstuck!” he said sternly. 
Commit hung his head. 
    “Wait! I know!” Dasher said. “What if we just break the icicle off at the top!” (Dasher and Commit were friends, so if one was in trouble the other was sure to help him out) 
Rudolph thought for a moment then agreed. Then Santa came up the Chimney and saw Commit. 
    “Ho! Ho! Ho! Don’t you know it is foolish to lick ice?” 
    “I do now.” he mumbled. 
    “Santa, will you do us a favor by breaking this icicle?” Rudolph asked. 
    “Of course!” He said, snapping it in half. 
“My dear friends,” Santa said, climbing into the sleigh. “We have done it! Now we can go home.” 
They cheered and took off for the last time that night. That's when Rudolph noticed just how tired he was. It had been a long night for all of them, and he was thankful they were going home. The way back was mostly uneventful, sometimes a reindeer or two would nod off for a while before being shaken awake by their partner. Commit still carried a bit of icicle left on his tongue. 
    “I can’t believe I did that.” Commit said, his face still red. 
    “It’s all right!” Rudolph said “I even did it on my first run.” He added, lowering his voice. Commit smiled. 
    “We’re home!” Santa announced. All the reindeer excitedly quickened their pace. No longer sleepy, with half open eyes, but wild, with delighted eyes longing to be back home. When they landed, they were immediately surrounded by friends and family, welcoming them home. The minute the elves took off the reindeer’s harness’, they leapt for joy and embraced their warm welcome, but soon after went to bed. When they awoke, It was Christmas morning. 


Merry Christmas!

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...
