Wednesday Story Day Again. Last week we left Ben saying a quick hello to Alexis as she was running to her room to pack. It looks like Trudy has put Ben’s plan to get rid of her husband and Alexis into action. If it works, Trudy and Ben will be alone, and you and I will be forced to see sights that we will regret. Let’s hope something else happens to prevent what could be a life scarring moment. Here take this blindfold and don’t take it off until I tell you. There may be sights too horrible for your tender eyes. (Wait! You are a writer, right? Aw, you can take it unless your name’s Dan. If so put it on.)
“Hello, Ben. I’m so glad you are out of that bed.”
“Hi, Trudy. What did you have to show me here in the kitchen.”
“It is not really in the kitchen. It’s in the garage.”
“The garage? What are you trying to pull now?”
“Nothing Ben dear. I have picked out a special gift for you.”
“Excuse me. When you pick out a gift, there must be a reason.”
“Ben dear. I have started your plan to have my husband and Alexis out-of-the-way for a while. At least you could recognize that I’m trying.”
“Aw, I’m sorry. I think that was rather rude of me to imply you had some agenda, and the gift was not from the heart.”
“It is from the heart. You’ll see. You can go into the garage and take a look. I need to give my husband some last-minute instructions. He and Alexis are going on a trip to the Cayman’s as you suggested.”
“Wow. I’m really surprised.”
“I don’t see why. I’m crazy about you. Now just pop in there and I’ll be right back. A taxi should be here shortly. Then you and I can get down to some serious relationship building.”
“Yes, we can. Okay, see you in a bit. Is the gift wrapped?”
“Well, it is pretty hard to cover. You’ll see what I mean.”
“I’m excited.”
“Me too dear. Bye now.”

All right, John. I see what you’re up to. You’re building tension by drawing this out and leaving a cliffhanger ending. Sly move. We’ll be back next Wednesday to see what’s happening. 🙂 — Suzanne

Thanks Suzanne. As you can see I deviously leave a cliff hanger each week. This one is coming to an end though. 🙂

Oh no! Do I smell a rat, or is it just CO?
You’re right, I don’t trust that woman any farther than I could throw her with both hands tied behind my back and my feet encased in concrete.

Interesting you should smell CO which has no odor. I think it is petrol you smell.

I can go sans blindfold if you can. Wait, you should know where this is going, unless Trudy’s in charge of that now, too. Thanks for leaving me in a mild panic for a week, John.

Oh my goodness, John! Where in the heck are you taking these two? I have a sneaking feeling that even you don’t know. 🙂 Look forward to story Wednesdays every week just to see where you are taking them. Of course, we are led to believe that there is a shiny new car in the garage for Ben, but I heartily doubt it. 🙂

I think Ben is the dimmest character ever created (in a good way, obviously) and if Mrs W was any more transparent, she’d be a window.
Marvellous.
I’m still watching it in shoulder pads, too.
