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.

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.

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.
