teaser of todays work: (Bear it mind it is unedited. Thank you) “Dee, answer me,” she pleaded, as I continued to run toward my Toyota. “And where are you going? Are we leaving? Because your car keys are on the coffee table inside.” “What?” I stopped, breathless. “No they aren’t. They are in my back pocket.” I reached for them, reflexively. “No,” she said, jogging up next to me. “Remember you took them out when you sat down on the couch.” A string of curses left me. I forgot I did. I hurried for my car door again anyway, frantically trying the handle. It was locked. I moved quickly to the back door then bolted to the trunk and to the other side. I tried every single handle. And cursed more with every single attempt. “Dee—stop! It’s locked. There’s nothing you can do about it.” I glanced over the hood of the car at her, ready to snap back a comment, when I spotted the axe resting up against the house. The axe, of course. “I can break a window,” I mumbled, rushing past the bumper to the front of the house again. “What?” she blurted as I ran past her. “What did you say? Now where are you going? Do not going back inside! Damn it, Dee!” I heard her feet pounding after me. “I’m not, I’m just grabbing the axe,” I said, skidding to a stop beside it. I hauled it up, struggling at first to lift it. It was heavier than I thought it would be. Missy stopped, bending over, hands on legs, breathing heavy. She peered up at me. “The axe? What the hell do you need an axe for?” “I’m going to—” The front door suddenly swung open loudly slamming into the siding. Jason and Kyle came bolting out, literally jumping down the steps. Something loud banged and crashed somewhere inside behind them. “Run!” Kyle yelled, as his feet hit the ground. Jason dashed right to me, grabbing my hand. I struggled to run and hold the axe at the same time. “Drop it,” he urged, pulling me forward. “On second thought,” he reached across me, holding out his open palm. “Give me it, we might need it.”
