100 carefully selected words!

Keith's Ramblings

Sitting here’s like watching a board game! Just now, her from number 16 was looking from her window, now she’s with him at 29. 

The guy at 36 just welcomed the bloke from 22 for drinks; they are celebrating something. One’s handing over a package and it looks like money’s changing hands. What’s happening?

That’s odd. Her from 16 has joined them. They are arguing. 36’s shoving her, she’s pushing back. No, she’s got a gun! She’s grabbed the package and cash and taken off.

Look, 29’s down in the street. She’s joined him and they’re away.

Phew! Cleudo anyone?  

 

Pick a Froggie to see the squares!

    That is a lot of drama in one building, yikes! Well done Kieth. Reference to Clue or Cluedo is perfect for your story!

    A busy neighbour who hasn’t a TV to watch. Then again real drama across the street is entertaining enough and beats TV any day.

    For my writing group, I once organised a task based on Cluedo. Unfortunately, one lady got very annoyed when all the clues pointed her out as the murderer. I think she got her fiction mixed up with fact. (Although I did consider calling the police and ask them to check out her kitchen).

      There’s plenty of drama going on opposite my place! Your Cluedo experience must have been so funny!

    I guess, binoculars / zoom lenses make life infinitely more interesting if you don’t mind invading other people’s privacy. Nice take!

    Professor Plum, in the library, with the candlestick. Did I get it right?

    I don’t suppose there are any vacancies in that building? I have references and binoculars.

    This was a fun story Keith and it was fun visualizing the action.

      That’s so kind of you Christine. They are still on the run – I’ll keep you updated!

    Dear Keith,

    Sounds like an entertaining neighborhood. No need for television.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Keith, a busybody living across the street from that building would have a full time job keeping track of everyone. I’m sure you’ve seen “Rear Window.” That movie scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid. I like how you referred to them as their apartment #s.
