Day 62

The house was cold, it was spring and yet the was a frost still on the ground. Who’d have thought it would be early May and the frost would be still be down.  Toby was now doing the dance of let me the @@#@ out I need the loo.
Dennis opened the kitchen door letting Toby out. He watched the happy Mutt for a bit and then turned to the kitchen top to grab the Kettle.
Placing the Kettle back on to the power unit and then flipping the switch on. He turned round and looked out the window. Toby was still on his ritual sniffing of the perimeter. When the phone started to ring.

Day 61 : Skype Fun.

he vanished at lunch time, the last things his friend wrote was brb.

John waited and waited , an hour past but Mike did not return.

Wherehad he gone?

Had split in the fabric of time opened up and swallowed him take him back to the time of Roman Empire?

John  Googled  the web.. and he found  that In 383 the General Magnus Maximus rose up in revolt against Gratian. The power sharing agreement that followed Maximus’s victory would be negotiated in part by St. Ambrose, the influential new Bishop of Milan.

MY GOD !!! he  exclaimed was that Mike?

He checked wiki- there was an image of a coin from the period. It was  him the profile matched almost exactly..

Day 60 : Morning

Right so I fell asleep last night so forgot to post this :

 

The world was a busy place, everyone had something to do to occupy themselves whether it was  work, free time or sleeping . Well when I say all that is not completely true as  Dennis woke up , he checked his alarm and said “Bollox! I am late.. Again this phone cannot  keep  the time at all.”

Throwing his legs over the edge of the bed and stretching  his body and arms out. He lent down grabbed his slippers, putting them on his feet, he stood and strode to the open bedroom door. Grabbing his thick   dressing gown as he went.

 

Dennis  put the robe on as he walked down the stairs, the faint bump bump sound could be heard from the hall, he reached the bottom and Toby his black Tan german shepard was  happliy waiting  for him,  he patted toby on the head and walked to the back door with a sharp whistle, Toby ran out the door.

Day 57 : Ideas

The WPC in the back of the ambulance said “come on sweetheart, we need to get you into hospital  to be checked over”

Day 52 : In the Car

So this was written in the car, but due to family requiring my attention I was not able to get very far.

 

The ambulance arrived at the countess  of Chester hospital A&E department.  The driver got out and met his colleague round the back of the ambulance, they open the door. She was still sat on the trolley  with her legs pulled up to her as though this was her default postion. Larbi  said,” we are here, it time to get you checked in and start the healing process”.

she didn’t move.
