Hidey Hole

by Teresa Dean Smeigh copyright August 2015

“I see absolutely everything.”

“Let me see, let me see!” Pop pushes Billy trying to get in to see closer.

“Patience Pop, let me get the angle just right so we get the best view.”

“Let ME see, Billy,” pop almost shouts in his haste.

“Sshh Pop, someone may come in and hear us. You’ll get your turn soon.”

A door bangs and both men jump guiltily away from the little hole they drilled to make a peep-hole through the wooden deer’s eye.

Agnes rushes out and hugs both men to her. “You guys did a lovely job hanging the deer in the Ladies Room. I just love it!”

“May I use the Ladies Room?” a sweet voice asks.

Agnes says,”Of course dearie, let me show you where it is.”

She leads her off and both men fight over who gets to watch first.

    One of the things I enjoy about participating in challenges like this is the variety and different perspectives that emerge in the stories. This is great!
