Perfidy

Mini Story

Lazily sipping Chardonnay on a bright colored blanket in the sun.
I reach for the last slice of watermelon.
It is gone.
"Did you take it?"
"Of course not!"
"There are only two of us here."
"It wasn't me. Perhaps you ate it and don't remember."
"Are you implying I am scatterbrained?"
"What? No. This conversation is ridiculous."
"Why? Because you ate the watermelon?"
"I did not eat the damn watermelon!"
"Well it certainly didn't just walk away!"
"So now you are calling me a liar?"
"I am just simply saying.."

***********
The stealthy squadron of ants was looking forward to the sweet meal they had purloined, as they marched it through the grass to their waiting colony.

Too many cartoons - but a nice thought.

Aww now.. This little story is.. -taps temple- cute (that's the word!). A lighthearted look at life and misunderstandings. :)

A moment of humor and lots of fun. I like the term :' bright colored blanket in the sun. That is so poetic...:)

[Rogue]

I am happy you got a smile out of it. :)

[Sami Khalil]

I did. You are welcome...:)

[Samuel Dickens]

Heh-heh, this reminds me of the cartoons I used to see as a kid.

[Rogue]

Kinda like one if those fractured fairy tales from Rocky and Bullwinkle. :)
Thanks for coming and reading, Sam. Always good to see your reviews.

[Samuel Dickens]

You're very welcome. I used to come home from school and watch Rocky and Bullwinkle. There was Dudley Do-right, the turtle that Mr. Wizard always had to rescue. What a great show that was.

[sithlordjp]

:) That was so much fun to read !!!! Thank you Rogue !!! That ending is so funny, and yet I cannot help to find it a bit scary at the same time !!! Well done !!!

[Rogue]

Good. I am glad you found the humor in it. :)
It's a bit like an Aesop fable, only the reader can figure out the moral on their own. :)
Thank you, my friend
