A day late…

Keith's Ramblings

for Friday Fictioneers!

I should have posted a story yesterday but it was my birthday and Rosey’s too so I was otherwise engaged! Better late than never.

zzzzMy phone rang. It was my friend Rosey, again!

‘I’ve got a ghost’ she panted. 

‘You don’t need another pet’ I said, ‘you’ve already got two cats!’

‘It’s not funny,’ she whimpered.

‘Is it a friendly ghost?’ I asked.

‘No. It yanked the wire from its hole in my computer, and it stopped working’.

‘Plug it back in then’ I said.

‘You’re missing the point, I’ve… got… a… ghost!’

‘What’s it look like?’ I asked.

‘It’s invisible, duh’ she huffed. `Oh, hang on, the wire’s hooked around my chair leg, it may have pulled out when I did a bum-wiggle’.

‘So there’s no ghost?’

‘Probably not, bye’

    Poor Rosey! No sympathy from you.
    And a belated Happy Birthday. Wishing you and Rosey many more years of funny tales together.

    Nothing in a writer’s life can afford to be the obvious explanation. I’m with ghosts

    Classic Rosey! Happy Birthday Keith, I trust it was suitably well celebrated.

    now, that’s a funny one. Sadly, I’ve done that… blamed the Hubby.

    Dear Keith,

    You and Rosey sound like the next George and Gracie. Love what you did with the frog this week. 😉

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    I think Rosey is after your attention, best go round and sort out her wiring. Fun read.

      When I’ve sorted out her wiring she’ll find something else for me to do, so no, I’m staying clear! Thanks, James.

    Love this, Keith, very funny (for you!)
    I particularly like how the ghost wound the cable round the chair leg to confuse the issue.

    Rosey doing a bum-wiggle. What a thought! That’s a very entertaining little story, Keith. And Happy Birthday!

    Happy Belated Birthday to both you and Rosey, Keith. This was funny. She has a really lively imagination. I like the phrase ” yanked the wire from its hole in my computer.” 😀 — Suzanne

    Happy Birthday from me, too for you and Rosey. She better be careful with the bum wiggle next time or the ghost comes back. Or the frog… another great puzzle piece in the frog-mosaic.

    So many possibilities. May be there was a ghost that wanted to undivided attention and yanked the computer wire out. May be the ghost was malicious and wanted to electrocute your friend. Finally, your friend has to stop bum wiggling. It can do uncalled for damage, who knows!
