Pry
By Grant Baciocco
“I’m so sorry officer,” Danielle blushed, “I’m just completely embarrassed.”
Officer Roberts hooked his thumb into his belt, “No need to be embarrassed Mrs. Martinez. I can see where you’d think that someone tried to pry open your rear screen door here, but I assure you, these marks are just dirt and spider webs.”
“Thank you, officer.” Danielle replied, “Sorry to waste your time.”
“Better safe than sorry.” Officer Roberts replied as they walked around the side of the house.
From the bushes a few feet away, the dirt and spiderweb monster watched them leave. He would wait until tonight.

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.

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.

Another no.
By Grant Baciocco
Roger hung up the phone and sighed.
“Another no.” He said to himself. With his left hand he held the ruler steady and with his right, drew a line through the name in the phone book.
He had been at this for years, but he knew it was worth it. His father had always told him that hard work and persistence pays off. He had now reached the “L” pages of the phone book and he had a good feeling that the law of averages were on his side. He picked up the phone and punched in the next number.
