Let them eat cake!
By Grant Baciocco

“Have you brought cake?” Dolores shouted down the hallway at Agnes.

Agnes leaned her cane against the wall and pulled back the bed sheet she had covering the cart she’d taken from the cafeteria.  The cart was laden with cakes of all varieties.  Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and more.  Agnes smiled, “As you can see, I have.  And you?”

Dolores gestured to her left and Agnes could now see that the long table in the hallways was covered with several cakes as well.

“Then we’re well prepared.” Dolores said.

“Indeed.” Agnes replied.

The air hung heavy between them.

Agnes inhaled, “Fight!”

Trousdale Drive, 7:40 p.m. Oct. 2 Two patients at a long-term care facility involved in a cake fight were contacted and counseled.

Ducks
By Grant Baciocco

Officer Roberts was about to get back into his patrol car when he felt a tug at his pants leg.  Looking down he saw a brown duck looking up at him.

Officer Roberts looked at the duck, wondering if it had, in fact just tugged on his pants.  The duck looked up and, gesturing with her wing, pointed to the far side of the busy street.  Officer Roberts was then startled to see six ducklings appear and join their mother in pointing across the street.  Smiling, he nodded and stepped out into the street and stopped traffic for the ducks.

Burlingame Avenue, 8 a.m. Friday An officer responding to reported traffic hazard escorted ducks across the street.

Slosh, Slosh
By Grant Baciocco

Slosh, slosh.

The sound that woke Lorraine from a deep sleep.  She held her breath.

Slosh, slosh.

She sat bolt upright in bed and looked towards her bedroom door.

Slosh, Slosh.

It was louder now.  She swung her feet over the edge of the bed and jammed them into her slippers.  Grabbing her robe, it was on her by the time she reached the end of the hallway.

SLOSH, SLOSH.

She screamed.  Sure whatever horrible creature was making the sound was at her front door.  She threw open the door and there stood a man with a mop.

Slosh, slosh.

Pizza Night Part 2
By Grant Baciocco

Simon Caruthers cackled with delight as he ate slice after slice of the piping hot pizza that had just been delivered.  He peered through his blinds over to the Stevenson household and imagined the confusion and angst the family must be going through.

For years, Simon had endured living next to the Stevenson’s and their loud brood of children and for years he’d seen their delirious glee when a pizza was delivered every Thursday night.  He had turmoiled over how exactly to rankle them and then it hit him.  Next Thursday, he’d simply order a pizza and have it delivered.

Murchison Drive, 8:03 p.m. July 2 A person wrongly accused of pizza theft reported being upset.
