100 Word Stories – Police Blotter – Animals!

And now, another 100 word story based on an item from the Police Blotter of my hometown of Burlingame, California.  As always, the actual blotter listing, with a link to the listing is presented below the story.  Enjoy!

Animals!
By Grant Baciocco

Charlotte screamed as the rhinoceros’ horn came splintering through the front door.  She leapt away from it and bounded up the hallway staircase.

At the door the rhino let out a bellow as he wrenched his horn free from the door and backed up for another charge.

Charlotte reached the top of the stairs as the door was hit again.  She turned into her bedroom and slammed the door shut, attempting to catch her breath as she heard the rhino enter the house.  She turned to find her room filled with gorillas eyeing the bag of peanuts she was carrying.
