AND/OR



 

SHENANIGANS by Granny Annie

The two boys circled the property.  They examined the boarded windows.  Yes, they had seen the signs that warned "No Trespassing" but for 10 year olds, that did not mean a thing.  

"What do you think is in there?" Josh ask his buddy Hanson.

"Probably some old skeletons" Hanson replied with a smile.

"No way!" Josh responded.  "I am guessing some bags of stolen money are hidden in there."

Determined to enter this old building, the boys used their BB guns to loosen the boards.  Slowly the windows creaked open and the two boys climbed inside the dusty, cobwebbed room.

It was very dark inside.  The moved slowly, warning each other in whispers to stay very quiet.  Suddenly a screech erupted from a sleeping Owl and it flew in the direction of the boys.  Josh and Hanson ran back to the open windows and jumped down.  Hanson hit the ground at a run while Josh was caught on the spikes of an old fence.  He dangled there until Hanson realized his partner in crime wasn't with him.  Carefully he returned and helped lift Josh off the fence.

His new jeans were ripped and Josh had to think of a good story to explain the destruction to his mother.
