Written, May 3, 2024 For The Contest: “Pick a Line and Like a Hooked Fish Run With It” Sponsor, John Lawless Prompt, Line 3. “They gathered outside my house….”
They gathered outside- I'm alone, and at my back window, I groan! I think- what is this my hubby will miss? Then, quickly I reach for my phone! "We're being invaded, my dear! Please quickly come home, for I fear these huge long-necked beasts are looking for feasts! Whatever they are- is unclear!” “I counted at least twenty-one now looking for food where there's none! It seemed a bad sign when their eyes met mine! The door's locked- so I need not run!" Some photos I send him to please; He views them, then texts me with ease- "Please, honey calm down! No need for a frown! Your so-called wild beasts are Turkeys!” Confusing, as I just recalled my Thanksgiving Turkeys were bald; came right from the store piled up with lots more! Not “beasts”- but OUR “feasts” - I'm appalled!
