FRIDAY FICTIONEERS ….January 15, 2016

Unexpected Delay
Gunshots fired from the house just as the police back-up unit arrive.
The area was barricade with yellow tape to keep anyone from entering the danger zone.
It was difficult to see the house, but the steps led to the side of it and a few officers were ready to move forward.
Someone threw a grenade from the house just as a young boy came zipping by on his bicycle after riding under the yellow taped off area.
“Cut!” The director yelled. “Get that boy off the movie set immediately.”

Whew! Thank goodness it wasn’t a real grenade and was only a movie prop. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been good for that little boy.
