"Come with me if you want to live, pet", he had said. Annie had not gone with him. Her brain had worked swiftly and she had rationalised that if he wanted her to live then it was unlikely that he was going to shoot her, so she had simply picked him up by the ears of the pink rabbit onesie, and shaken him until he dropped the gun. She had then locked him in her attic with a plate of fish fingers and a large colouring book.
Annie Manning was now glaring at her computer screen. How could they do this to her?? How could they leave her to be taken by a small man with a large gun wearing a pink rabbit onesie, and never refer to her again?? Weren't they worried that she had been taken captive by a wee Geordie? Did nobody want to save her? Did nobody care? Had she made a bad impression by slapping flat footed up the tiled path? It was a disgrace, an outrage.
All the attention seemed to be on Iris Green, the brogue loving woman from across the road who liked to spy on everyone. Even Douglas had a thing for her, and Douglas was supposed to be Annie's husband. Annie was furious. After all, Annie was the blonde, busty, attention grabbing female around here, NOT robotic Iris, who was flat-chested, wore her hair in a prim little bun, and looked like a stereotypical school teacher from the 1940s.
Annie was jealous and she didn't care who knew it. First she frowned a bit, though her pretty eyebrows remained arched above her milky blue eyes due to botox, and did not aspire to making random items of knitwear, and then she pouted. Annie had a plan. A big plan that would change EVERYTHING. She also had a loaded gun.

Thank you for rescuing Geordie Rabbit Bloke, Scarlet. I expect someone will come along and bust him out before long.

here, in my Antipodean lock-down, we're having a binge of James Bond movies (not in sequence) so between the drugs, the changing 007s and these chapters...I'm getting a little confused! But it is entertaining in the wee hours.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're in an excellent position to write a post then, Dinah :-)

ReplyDeleteAnnie Get Your Gun - have you seen that musical? I have not but just wondering about inspiration or my lack of it.
ReplyDeleteHey don't knock Iris. She has great legs and an A.I. going for you. Unfortunately she has been labeled.
Hah hah hah haa!
DeleteAnnie seems like she's the one to watch. I laughed out loud at the image of her shaking the pink onesied Geordie by his rabbit ears - very funny!
