Here is my interpretation of the prompt:

Scene/Seen by John W. Howell © 2015

“Okay cut, I’ve seen enough.”

“What’s the problem? Is it with this scene?”

“It has all the clichés the audience has seen in every other zombie movie.”

“Clichés? Which scene are you talking about?”

“The one we have just seen. Where the guy stumbles into the house through the window and falls apart on the floor.”

“That’s not a cliché. That scene has cache. Guy falls apart. Gotta love it.”

“Not from what I’ve seen. No blood or gore. He just falls apart.”

“Okay, so if we add some blood would you be happy with the scene?”

“If I had seen a chainsaw take him apart yes.”

“Talk about a cliché. Okay, we’ll do the scene with a chainsaw.”

“I’ve seen big knives too.”

“Yup, a scene with big knives and a chainsaw.”

“Have you seen the rocket launchers?”

“Sure a scene with a big knife, chainsaw and a rocket launchers. You got it.”

“And I’ve seen a wading pool.”

“Of course, we’ll add that to the scene.”

“I’ve now seen where you are placating me.”

“Huh? I thought we were talking about the scene.”

“Wading pool? I’ve seen one, but there’s no reason to put it in the scene.”

“You used my word.”

“Your word?”

“Yeah scene. Yours is seen.”

“Oh sorry. Where were we?”

Heal/Heel by John W. Howell ©2015

“So how long do I have to stay like this?”

“Until you realize you need to walk to my right and not pull.”

“This collar is hurting me.”

“Nonsense. It is one of best rated for kindness.”

“My haunches hurt from sitting.”

“Oh, come on. It has been two minutes max.”

“I think it’s going to rain.”

“The weather channel didn’t say anything about rain.”

“You’re a heel you know.”

“Yes, yes, I know. And you are a bad dog you know.”

“Just cause I won’t heel?”

“No, not just cause you won’t heel. Mostly because after all your treatments you refuse to heal.”

“But I want to be a dog.”

“You are not a dog and I’m getting tired taking you for walks.”

“But look how much better I am.”

“Better? You kidding me?”

“No, I’m not kidding. I am better. Just feel my nose.”

 

Steam of Consciousness Saturday is upon us again. This week’s prompt is “opposite” and can be taken in any direction. If you would like to know more about SoCS visit Linda Hill at http://lindaghill.com/2015/01/09/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-january-1015/

Here is my Interpretation of opposite. Hope you enjoy.

Opposite by John W. Howell ©2015

“I said to take the opposite chair.”

“I’m sorry I thought you said this one.”

“No that one opposite me over there.”

“Yes sir.”

“I called you in today to have a discussion about your last assignment.’

“Oh, that’s strange.”

“What’s strange?”

“Your assistant told me the opposite.”

“What opposite?”

“He said you wanted to give me a new assignment.”

“Um I don’t see how he could have said that. I told him the opposite. I told him I wanted to discuss your last assignment.”

“So which is it your version or your assistant’s version?”

“There is only one version. Mine.”

“Okay. Opposite of what I was led to believe, but you’re the boss.”

“Sometimes I wonder.”

“Huh?”

“Never mind. I suppose you know your last assignment was a failure.”

“I think it was opposite. A success.”

“Yes I would suspect you would think that way. What about the hundred thousand dollar overrun of the budget?”

“Bad budgeting.”

“What about the unfinished sections.”

“Not necessary.”

“What about the federal investigation?”

“Politics.”

“What about the lawsuits?”

“Too many lawyers.”

“Well, I’m going to do the opposite of what I thought I would do with you.”

“What’s that?”

“Give you a promotion and hope you will do the opposite of what I expect.”

“You expect me to fail. Right?”

“Right. So now maybe you’ll succeed.”

“I don’t know. It’s a lot of pressure knowing you think I’ll do the opposite of fail. I just might not do the opposite.”

“Lucky me the day you married my daughter.”

 

 

Stream of consciousness Saturday time again. This week’s prompt is “t” which can be used as a start of a word or included in a word. If you would like to know more go here: http://lindaghill.com/2015/01/02/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-january-315/  You may even want to join in. My contribution to ‘t” is as follows:

Tea by John W. Howell © 2015

“Terry, tell Tom that two toads want Tea.”

“Tom can’t touch the tea today. The trembles.”

“Terrible. Tell Tom to try.”

“Tell Tom? Thanks, Teddy. Telling Tom to try tends to trade time temporarily.”

“Tell Teddy the truth.”

“Tom tends to transfer terror to Terry.”

“Touching Terry. The trouble to tell Tom transfers terror to Terry?”

“That tends to truth Teddy.”

“Terrific. Tempting trade though.”

“That’s it. Terry quits.”

“Turkey Terry.”
