This choice: Take cover and wait to see who is coming in so quickly. • Go Back... author: UnderHerToes
Before another foot could fall, you run through and over the tall carpet stalks to the desk. Tracy already has her focus on whoever is entering the room and still not a hint of word is spoken. As you dive behind the sandals and roll closer to the wall, you hear someone, a woman, ask, "Hey, who was that I heard down here? I thought it sounded like..." Tracy pops up and over the couch, unfortunately blocking whoever entered the room from view. "Hey," the voice says, suddenly interested in something, inquiring and moving to learn more.
She hurries around Tracy, and you instantly recognize her as the wild roommate, Sheena. You consider shrinking even smaller to go totally undetected. You'd seen firsthand the intensity that Sheena withholds until the most opportune moments, the passionate energy with few inhibitions and uncontrollable convictions. She scurries over the stamping ground you were just standing upon and nearly leaps onto the small flower stand by the front window. Leaning against, with one knee on top of, the table, she presses her finger to window, "Isn't that Scott's car!?"
With Sheena distracted, Tracy glances over the floor desperately for you, oblivious to your flight to safety, a term which could quite easily be disputed in this situation. "Oh, um, yeah," Tracy replies, "he, he came by a little," she grinds her fingers through her hair, "a little earlier."
"Well is he still here?" Sheena chirps and laughs with a wickedness indiscernible from true evil or just playful excitement, "I'll have him for breakfast!"
Tracy's mouth drops, and she lets the words pour out, "Well..."   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
