Tresspassers
By Grant Baciocco
“How dare they!”
“The nerve. The absolute nerve!”
“Don’t they know this is our parking lot? Who do they think they are?!”
“Go say something!”
“I’m not going anywhere near them. Disgusting!”
“We need to get to our car.”
“We’ll wait them out.”
“But they’re eating, they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.”
“I tell you Agnes, this neighborhood is going downhill fast. When there’s an absolute disregard for public property, that’s the first sign of the fall.”
“I’m calling the police!
“I thought you called them when you saw them walking by earlier.”
“I did. But I’m calling them again!”

I’ve been thinking a lot about the police blotter stories I’ve written and posted here and I think the new goal with them is to get to where I’ve written 100 of them and then collect them all into a book tentatively titled: 100, 100 Word Crimes in Burlingame. Or something. I’ll try and find a publisher for it and, if not, just release it myself.
One of these days, I’ll have to go through and see how many I have. I don’t think I’m at 100 yet. May not even be over 50, but it’s a fun goal to work towards.

How many times has this happened to you?
You head out on an overnight camping trip with your buddies. You’ve got your tent, your sleeping bag, your fishing pole, a change of clothes and cooler full of food and beer.
You set up camp, but as the sun sets you realize, you forget to bring a flashlight!
There’s no need to fear, as long as that’s a six-pack of Schlemer’s in your cooler! Each can of Schlemer’s comes with a flashlight built into the bottom of the can!
Don’t stay in the dark! Drink Schlemers!
Please remember, drink responsibly!

First Down
By Grant Baciocco
“But I told you mom, I don’t want to play.” Sarah yelled, trying to get out of the kitchen door.
“You’re a Kimball! And Kimball’s play football!” Stephanie yelled at her daughter. “Now throw me that ball.”
“We are in the house!” Sarah replied, nervously holding the football in her hands. “You can’t play ball in the house.”
“My house. My rules. Now throw it to me.”
“No!” Sarah yelled, “This is silly!”
“Twenty four! Fifty two” Stephanie yelled.
“No! Mom!” Sarah began to panic.
“Hut! Hut!” Stephanie grunted loudly.
“Mom, please!”
“Hike!”
Sarah screamed as her mother charged her.

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.
