PHOTO PROMPT © Connie Gayer
She told me to dig her a hole, so, I did. It’s five-foot-six feet by two-and-a-half feet wide… six foot deep. I don’t think she suspects, yet.
‘Rus, I told you… Call before you dig! Now look at this mess!’ She stood, hands on hips.
‘Nope, doesn’t suspect a thing.’ He mumbled with a smile.
wc: 55.
Author’s note: When I first saw this photo, I looked up and out the window to see surveyors marking the location of buried utility lines. The phrase “Call before you dig” popped into my head. I looked back down to the pic, and just had to use it. Giggles. Sorry for your soon-to-be “demise” Ms. Gayer… just kidding! Thanks for the pic this week! On a personal note, those who know me on Facebook… I suddenly can no longer access my page. I went in and left a link to my new fb page in a comment on the bottom of the storm warning. Go figure, it tanked at the same time the storm hit and took out the power grid….

Wonder what she did to deserve such a thing?

haha – nice humor – but also sad – yet so realistic – feels like a scene from a nice murder mystery detective show

Maybe “Diagnosis Murder”…. looks like it would make into a nice script for that show. Or, a more modern NCIS.

Doesn’t suspect a thing – hmmm, I would say with the dimensions of that hole she should be running as fast as she could… Of course we could be doing poor Russ wrong here, just assuming that he has murderous intent 😉

Dear Jelli,
I’m so sorry about your Facebook woes. Computer issues are nearly as bad as car issues, aren’t they?
I’m glad this story is only fiction. 😉 Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

His defence may be that she told him to dig her a hole. Great take.
