finding a door ajar

silent steps across the landing...carefully eyeing each room

I'd call it utter stupidity.

listening acutely and following the sound

grinning as I hear the buzz

Perhaps an 18 year old with a great grandchild will set a record.:-)

MOM are you home?

thinking of how I found her last time ~g~

No answer, so I turn the vibrator back, hoping that I am alone on as my door is standing open.

eyes the door partially open

I puzzled...thinking I've heard that sound before

onto the spacious landing and where she might be

Funny how facing something like a very large
very hungry big cat can put things into perspective.
Staring into the yellow eyes, she can smell the musk
rolling off of it. It smells prey and knows she's trapped.
The low growl reverabates through the grove
and into her bones. Barely taking her eyes from the beast
she tries to call her wood spirits or the bees
but she's too far into the forest they may not hear.
The cat watches her, its yellow stare unblinking, waiting
for her to make a run for it. But then it
decides not to wait and takes a step toward her, easily taking
up a third of the distance.
Ithreal reacts and dashes for the opening, only a tiny chance to
get past it. With a flash of a paw, claws extended it catches her
on the thigh and she almost goes down, crying out she feels
blood hot and running down her flank, and stumbles.
Suddenly the tree branches lower and create a mesh behind her
blocking the cat ,the Naiads had heard her but they can't hold
back the cat for long and she has only a short distance advantage
but the cat will catch her, she knows it, she's losing blood.
Her breath harsh sobbing in her throat, her heart pounding she
runs staggering, hearing the cat break through the branches...
he's going to kill her...still running she knows that in moments
its claws will be on her shoulders bringing her down

Laying in bed alone, with my vibrator. Thinking I hear something I turn my vibrator off.

Johnie, is that you?

listening for any other untoward sounds as I climb the stairs

thinking these boards needs resetting as they creek underfoot

looking up and taking a first step

Oh well

thinking I should look upstairs
