Shady Lady - UYW May

Another day another dollar thought Ted as he tossed his pencil onto the desk. It landed on the eraser and did a little bounce. He stood there, glanced over at the copier and said out loud "PLEEEASE let the rabbit be gone when I get home". That dadgum rabbit was the bane of his existence here of late.

Sue had totally lost her mind and became "the shady lady" as the neighbors now jokingly referred to her. But in all honesty she was crazy, it was like she had some sort of alter ego a dual personality and was completely fixated on the demise of the rabbit.

Ted chuckled to himself, that rabbit had definitely gotten the better of her on more than one occasion. Clearing his throat and straightening his jacket he prepared to walk out of the office, the silent joyful office and into his car where he'd drive home to possible chaos.

Ted was almost home when the incoming call popped up on the screen on his dashboard. He sighed, it was Sue. Crap...he punched accept, even though he desperately wanted to hit ignore.

"Hi dear, what's up?" He tried to sound light-hearted. 

"Don't you DEAR ME!" She screeched into the phone. He cringed and without taking a breath she launched in with, "That damned rabbit, that's what's up! I bought a cupcake, just one! It was going to be a surprise for my precious little man today when I picked him up from preschool. BUT NO! I come home to what??? NO DAMN CUP CAKE THAT'S WHAT TED!! AND AND DO YOU KNOW WHY TED??? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. THAT DAMNED RABBIT THAT'S WHY!!!"

Oh sweet mother of all that is holy, why why why did this rabbit torment them?

Waiting for her to breathe, he kept driving, remained calm but inside it was a major battle. His inside were quaking. Her shrill voice, the screaming, well just her all together.

"TED do not tell me that you are NOT listening to me!" oh crap, he zoned out. Clearing his throat, he said, trying to be as convincing as possible "OF course I was listening but I'm also driving and trying to be get run over by these five o'clock idiots."

"TED I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS IF YOU GET RUN OVER BUT YOU BETTER NOT BE DEAD AND YOU MUST YES YOU MUST STOP AND GET A CUPCAKE DO YOU HEAR ME!?" dear sweet heaven how could he not hear her, he was positive that the sweet older couple next door could hear her.

"Yes dear, I hear you. I'll stop and get his favorite. That means I'll be about another hour  before getting home as this traffic is wall to wall."

"I DON'T CARE! DO YOU HEAR ME? I DON'T CARE, JUST GET THE CUPCAKE" SLAM and she hung up.

Taking a deep breath he wondered if it was worth it. If working his butt off day in and day out for all the "things" they enjoyed was worth it. It seemed that since they bought "the" house and "the" cars that she was no happy even though it was what she wanted. They fought all the time. She yelled, cussed and threatened him. WHY? Why should he continue to put up with it. He knew why and he was stopping to get the why a cupcake.

There's a tale of a rabbit that has been wreaking havoc, if you're interested here's the last installment.

https://cognitivescript.blogspot.com/2019/03/that-rascally-rabbit-strikes-again.html

Sue sprawled out on the floor cold as a cucumber. Ted was in a state of shock and just stood there for a moment, then he called 911.

"Hello, this is 911 what is the emergency?"

Ted stammered, "uh um, well I heard my wife scream and something crashed. I came in and found her on the floor"

"Sir, is she conscious?"

"uh umm...I don't know." Sue moaned and reached up to touch her head.

"Never mind she's getting up I think." Ted hung up.

Bob said, "Ted don't you think she might need to see a doctor?"

Sue sat up, rubbed her head and turned her red glaring eyes on Ted. "DOCTOR?A! WHY because some stupid rabbit tripped me?! I swear if it is the last thing I do I'm going to kill that..." her voice trailed off. Mary had come over and was rubbing her hair, what does this crazy old woman think she is doing??? Mary smiled, "there there sweet girl, it will be all right you'll see." She had a distant look in her eyes.

Bob walked over and gently took Mary by the arm, he nodded to Ted. "We'll be seeing ya buddy, guess we should mosey on home."

As the screen door slammed shut, Sue sat up."Don't stand there like a buffoon, help me up!".

Helping her up, he did not think and spoke, "Sue what exactly happened?".

She snatched her arm from him, looked down at the broken bowl and floor. "What do think? I was making you a delicious cake for dessert. YOU fool, that damned rabbit is what happened. I was going to make more of my...well his food and he was by the counter, tripped me and I dropped it. Must have hit my head."

"Sue do you really think you can dupe the rabbit? I think he is the master of trickery here."

"Are you implying that the rabbit is SMARTER than I AM Ted?".

Oh crap, now he had done it. Poked the witch with her own broom. He watched as she stormed out of the room.

Later that evening he was listening to music with his headphones on and thinking about his neighbors. He wondered if Mary had dementia. It was such a sad disease. He sighed, he remembered his mother telling him that very diagnosis for his grandfather. The man he loved dearly and missed everyday, and whom Bob reminded him of. Looking up a book caught his attention on the shelf, he was not familiar with the font or color of the binder. Getting up and walking across the room, reaching for the book and about to pick it up when Sue burst into the room. "T E D! THAT IS IT!!!"

Your words are:

screen ~ delicious ~ dupe ~ font ~ headphones

That Rascally Rabbit Strikes Again - March UYW

Today’s post is a writing challenge. This is how it works: participating bloggers picked 4 – 6 words or short phrases for someone else to craft into a post. All words must be used at least once and all the posts will be unique as each writer has received their own set of words. That’s the challenge, here’s a fun twist; no one who’s participating knows who got their words and in what direction the writer will take them. Until now.

🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇

There stood Ted in a daze with his cola in his hand wondering if he should cancel his 3 o'clock massage appointment. Sue was coming in through the garage door when he saw it. That damn rabbit, he secretly hoped she would not see him or he'd get away. Sue had been planting her "concoction" all over the yard and in the bushes hoping to do away with him for good as she liked to say.

He was kinda used to him and he was a big pain in the ass but he was starting to feel sorry for the guy. Oh he could hold his own against Sue, he had proven that so far. A robust fellow as grandpa would have said.

Suddenly there was a knock at the patio door...what in the world?! WHO could be knocking on that door? You'd have to be in the backyard and there was no access except from inside the house or garage. Both Ted and Sue stood there for a moment, then she snapped out of it and in true Sue fashion said "oh for crying out loud Ted don't just stand there doing nothing like a worthless lump". Geez she had a way of making him feel so special these days. He was beginning to wonder what he ever saw in her to begin with and what she saw in him? It sure didn't feel like love anymore.

He turned and followed her through the kitchen to the dining room toward the French doors leading to the patio. What the...it was their neighbors Bob and Mary. Sue turned slightly to roll her eyes in Ted's direction. He smiled an apology for what he wasn't sure.

Waving his hand frantically, Bob yelled through the glass "HEY your rabbit was in our yard" as he put his hand on the knob to try and come in. Oh good lord Ted thought, Sue might feed him her rabbit demise concoction!

Sue, exhaling with obvious irritation, turned the knob, held her place in the doorway and said in very if not overly stern voice "IT is NOT our rabbit Bob thank you very much", Bob chuckled and said "oh well excuse me Missy but I beg to differ, you the one feeding him in the bushes" as he brushed her aside and walked into the house.

Mary followed suit and they went straight to the kitchen and pulled out the stools at the island and sat down like they had done it a thousand times before.

Following them Ted heard Sue cussing under her breath "who do these two old coots think they are walking right in my house and making themselves at home I've a good mind to..."

holy shit Batman she was pissed. Ted did the unthinkable and said "Hey Bob old  buddy why don't we go outside and sit a spell, Mary you too" and he gently led them back outside.

Well that was the first decent thing he had done in weeks Sue thought, now how to get rid of them for good too?

Bob crossed his spindly legs and said "Ted let me shed some light on the subject of being neighborly or illuminate you as the kids say today. When I was growing up we lived on a farm about 25 miles from town. We'd go in once a month and gather supplies that we didn't grow ourselves, you know, flour, sugar, shotgun shells and other stuff like that there. We were thrilled when one of our neighbors rolled up on our land, it meant a break, sit a spell, visit, talk, something that has gone out of fashion these days and might, no does need to be revived. I see you and your misses and y'all don't seem to happy with life in general. Always yelling at squirrels, trying to kill that rabbit, cutting eyes at each other like enemies. Let me ask you a question Ted. Why did y'all get married in the first place? I know we don't know each other well and it might be overstepping but I hate to see young folks like yourselves so unhappy. There is too much going on to be unhappy, life is short and if you don't think so, wait a few more years and your boy will be driving and you'll hardly ever see him. Then you'll wonder where the time went." Taking a breath he looked out toward the tree line, he spotted the rabbit and gave a chuckle. Hopefully Sue would not find out he removed her poison and replaced it with feed. It was a faulty plan to begin with.

Ted said "Bob you remind me of my grandfather, he sighed, and I miss him. He used to say we all need to live in one cord with one another or something like that. He was a farmer and Sue hates the country, I'll be honest, I'm not sure why we got married. I mean, I was sure when it happened, but lately a lot has changed. We do yell, we argue, she is just so mad all the time. shaking his head he said, Bob I just don't know."

As if on cue, Sue emerged from the house and bellowed "TED", he looked up, sighed and went to see what he had done wrong now, besides breathing that is.

Bob looked at Mary, he reached for her hand. She smiled and said "I'm so glad we learned a long time ago to let the worries of the world go and enjoy each other and life. I think they need to do that as well." Bob squeezed her and and smiled. Oh she was so right.

Ted went to Sue and said "yes dear, what do I need to do?" She glared at him and said "GET RID of them! I have things to do and it is not entertain a couple of old people." Ted flinched, damn that was harsh, they were really nice and he was actually having a nice time until she came out that was. She cocked her head sideways and looked at him with great scrutiny, "are you actually enjoying talking with them?" He felt embarrassed and scared but replied, "yes Sue I am" she laughed that laugh which sounded like the witch from The Wizard of Oz. He flinched, she laughed again and walked off. 

As he was returning to the guest, they heard it, they all heard it.

BAM CRASH Screams like the undead coming from the kitchen. Running they all got there to find Sue on the floor, covered in a white powder, a broken bowl next to her, and rabbit tracks leading out the garage door.

Bob said "well that rascally rabbit strikes again."

The Demise of a Rabbit - Feb 2019 UYW

Today’s post is a writing challenge. This is how it works: participating bloggers picked 4 – 6 words or short phrases for someone else to craft into a post. All words must be used at least once and all the posts will be unique as each writer has received their own set of words.

Sue looked at Ted and said "This is a tried and true old fashioned remedy. The old guy at the hardware store swears it will work."

Ted looked kind of skeptical. It was a unique that was for sure but Ted still wasn't sure this would work. It was a sensational idea if you thought about it long enough. The only bump he could think of was Jasper. What if he got into this concoction and it killed him. Shaking his head he walked away, that was something he did not want to think about.

Old Jasper, good ol' boy, man...Ted had gotten him right after college. Geez, that meant he was what...Ted stopped and glanced over at the dog sleeping on his bed by the bay window. Wow, he must every bit of fourteen years old. Sure couldn't tell it when he was after that dadgum rabbit.

Ted walked into his office and happened upon a book in the floor, laying open. He picked it up. "Farmers Almanac, hmm where did this come from?"

There was a tap at the window. He glanced up and screamed, like a girl I might add.

Sue came running into the study, "what, what is it?" she yelled coming into the room.

There stood Ted, still as a rock, eyes glazed over, mouth hanging open. He was staring towards the window. Sue turned and looked, she saw it, that damned rabbit again. HOW he was on the window sill she did not know nor care. She took off for the kitchen, she was determined to finish this concoction and watch that hair ball choke on it if it was the last thing she ever did.

Ted sat down behind his desk sometime later. Scratching his head he wondered just how the rabbit had gotten on the window sill and was he the one who put the book on the floor? Opening the almanac to the page ear marked he read, "

• Make a bad-tasting rabbit cocktail by grinding together three hot peppers, three large onions, and one whole bunch of garlic. Add water to cover, and place into a covered container overnight. Strain, and then add enough additional water to make a gallon of the mixture. Spray onto plants, repeating after rainfall. Commercial products using pungent garlic oil are also worth a try.

It was high lighted...how the? He looked around and there it was. A highlighter on the floor.

So the rabbit knew about the concoction, but did he know she also put diphacinone in it.

Leaning back in his chair Ted thought, this is one smart rabbit, what if we didn't get rid of it. What if it is some super species, an alien, or what if animals really can communicate and he is trying to tell us something.

"TED!" oh dear lord he almost fell backwards in his chair hitting the floor, startled to say the least he looked up. "yes dear, what can I do for you?"

Sue said, "well for starters you can tell me why I called you three times without any acknowledgment and why you are just sitting there doing nothing?! Aren't you supposed to be on a conference call right now?"

Oh crap...

Thanks to Jules for providing the words this month, I hope I did them justice. Now be sure to go and visit each of the others. See ya next month!!

Ted was outside yelling like a fool. What in the hell is he yelling at now? thought Sue. She walked closer to the window and cracked it open.

"You stupid little rodent! I have told you over and over that THIS is the bird food! YOUR food is over there!" he was pointing wildly at a corn cob tied to a limb. The squirrel was none to impressed with this behavior. He cocked his head from one side to the other, then sprang forward, grabbed a mouthful of bird feed and he was off and running.

Ted was running too! "YOU damned fuzzy tailed little mongrel, if I get my hands on you... his voice trailed off. There in the path going into the trees behind his house, was IT. That dadgum rabbit!! OMG he thought Sue had killed that thing. He looked over his shoulder toward the house, shoot, she was standing at the window watching him. Probably thought he had lost his mind.

Sue leaned closer, what was he looking at? Wait...no, oh it better not be! THAT RABBIT?!

Running out the back door, down the steps and picking up speed she crossed the lawn in two seconds flat. The rabbit, ears up, turned and disappeared in to the bushes.

"WHERE IS HE, WHERE IS HE?!" Sue was screaming.

Ted looked at her and said "who" in a timid voice.

"WHAT?!!! DID YOU ASK ME WHO? TED you know damned well who. That filthy varmint, that son of a...." she stopped, she saw her neighbors peering over the fence. Oh crap.

"Hey Ted, Sue, everything okay over there?" asked Bob the old nosy retired neighbor that moved in last year.

Changing too a sweet voice Sue replied "Oh sorry Bob just some rodent issues, a wild rabbit that has been wreaking havoc for a while now. Nothing to worry about." She turned and headed toward the house.

Bob and Mary looked at each other, shrugged and head back to their deck chairs. Just as they sat down, they heard those fools neighbors again.

"I'm not yelling at you I'm yelling at the birds, telling them to peck the crap out of that squirrel next time he shows his beady little face here around the feeder again." Ted was yelling but was bringing his voice down as he saw Sue getting red faced, he knew he needed to calm down. These damned animals were making them both crazy.

Sue was already inside, stirring her coffee when she heard a scratching sound. She turned slowly and Jasper was looking right into the eyes of that squirrel who was NOW sitting on the counter eating one of her walnuts!

AARRGGHH she screamed and the squirrel jumped out the window, Jasper nearly catching him by the tail was now howling at the door to get out.

Bob and Mary sitting outside enjoying a sunny afternoon Tom Collins was again interrupted by those fools next door. Sighing they got up and went inside.

Are you wondering what rabbit? Here you can find two other short stories featuring the rabbit, Jasper and the fools next door.

The Return of the Rabbit...Jan 2019 UYW

Today’s post is a writing challenge. This is how it works: participating bloggers picked 4 – 6 words or short phrases for someone else to craft into a post. All words must be used at least once and all the posts will be unique as each writer has received their own set of words. That’s the challenge, here’s a fun twist; no one who’s participating knows who got their words and in what direction the writer will take them. Until now.

At the end of this post you’ll find links to the other blogs featuring this challenge. Check them all out, see what words they got and how they used them. 

Ted rolled over on his pillow, gave a long stretch and sat up. Reaching for his glass of water, that was ALWAYS beside the bed, he missed. Startled he opened his eyes and looked at the bedside table. No glass. Hmm had he forgotten? No, he distinctly remembered sitting it here. Looking on the floor he was thankful it wasn't there, Sue would not be kind if he had spilled water on her new floor. However, it is hard wood but he knew she'd flip out on him.

Getting up, he trudged to the shower, turned on the water and stepped in. AAAHHHH!! What the HELL?!?!?! Jumping out and snatching back the curtain he looked down, a wet ball of fur!! Ted went to reach for it, BUT IT MOVED! Forgetting his manhood, he screamed and ran into the bedroom.

Sue sat up just as he came streaking in. "WHAT are you doing?!" she demanded. "There, there's something wet and hairy in the shower!" Ted stammered. Sue rolled her eyes and said, "really? Is it Jasper? You know he loves to sleep in there for whatever stupid reason."

Ted looked at her, the arrows were shooting out of her eyes, he knew that look. But still, he went on. "NO, it's no Jasper!"

Sue got up, walked into the bathroom and screamed "YOU, you dirty rotten little son of a ...her voice trailed off and the loud sound of smashing could be heard over the entire house. No way was Ted going in there. No stinking freaking way!

Just then, that damn rabbit came bouncing into the room, I swear it smiled at me Ted thought, it jumped (still wet mind you) onto the bed and straight out the window, which was now broken because it was NOT open!

Sue flew out of the bathroom and down the stairs, Ted grabbed his robe and ran after her. He found her in the kitchen. Erring on the side of great risk, he asked "ummm it's this a strange time to be cooking?"
Again the arrows flew from her eyes straight to his heart. He sighed, he knew better by now.

Sue looked at him and said with venom in her voice, "I've had it with that damn rabbit and once and for all I'm taking care of him. We are in the city and they refuse to help, the HOA is worthless as are you Ted. SO...I'm going to poison him. Bake him a nice carrot cake with "special" spices in it. Like rat poison and arsenic. I hope his eyeballs pop out of his freaking skull."

Ted stepped back, geez, she included him in the worthless category and was standing here fixing to poison a poor animal. He gave serious thought to this. What if she wanted to be rid of him? He did have a huge life insurance policy. Would Sue "off him"??? He slowly turned and went back upstairs.

Standing at the now broken window he looked outside. There was the rabbit, sitting on the trampoline like he was waiting for something. Oh you're going to get something all right...the thought trailed off. Hmmm what if...what if I catch the rabbit and haul him off to the country? Can I do it? Would she be impressed? Why did he care?
