by Barb, on a double deadline
Hi folks–
The second Mrs. Darrowfield, Jane Darrowfield and the Madwoman Next Door, is due January 15, and the ninth Maine Clambake Mystery, Shucked Apart, is due February 15. Things are a little crazy around here.
So, for your bloggy pleasure, I’m bringing you a rerun of a post from the Maine Crime Writers last year, a typical Key West scene.
Time: 3:00 AM. A beautiful night in Key West. The windows are wide open. Somewhere on the front porch of one of the five townhouses in our little complex…
Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Let me in!”
(pause)
Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Let me in!”
(pause)
Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Let me in!”
(pause)
(from a second story window) “Use the front door code.”
“I don’t have it. Come down and let me in!”
“No! Let yourself in. I’m texting you the code.”
(pause)
Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Let me in!”
“No! Use the code.”
“I doesn’t work.” Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Come down here and let me in!”
“You did it wrong. Try again.”
(pause)
“It still doesn’t work.” Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Come down here and let me in!”
“I’m in bed!”
“I don’t care!”
“I’m naked.”
“I don’t care!”
“I am not alone.”
“I don’t care! Get down here and let me in.”
“I’m texting the code again.”
(pause)
“Still not working.” Bang, bang, bang, bang. “Get your ass down here and let me in!”
“I am down. I’m standing on the front porch. I don’t see you.”
“What do you mean you don’t see me? I am standing right here.”
Together: “Ohhhh. Wrong house.”
Aaaand scene.
That is hysterical!
OMG, that is too funny!!!
Oops!
Soooooo funny!
Ooopsie! LOL
LOL. That’s great. Unless it woke you up.
Funny!!
Two Silhouettes on the Shade.
Funny. Except for the part where it woke you up. I’m waiting for that to show up in a book now.
Best of luck with the double deadlines.
Such fun! Good luck racing towards your deadlines!
