I found Henry pacing in his yard.
“What’s up, Henry?”
“The new neighbors appear to be refugees. I don’t know where they’re from? I don’t know if they like dogs? I don’t know if they speak English? Wonder if they like barbecue? Or, do they play cards? Jackie and I would love new pitch partners.”
“Why not ask them?”
“That’s absurd!”

Exploring the World of Fiction
reflections, ponderings, daydreams, musings
A blog to inspire the insecure writer in all of us
The musings of a curious mind
Oh, the twisted stories to come.
Since so many other online writers have blogs dedicated to their writings, I’ve decided to jump onto the bandwagon. All posts published here will be either fiction or poetry, some new, and some previously published on various places on the Internet. Some of my works are conventional, and some are quirky. All fiction posted here, except for fan fiction, will include the letters "rose" somewhere, as a tribute to my Baba.
Ups and down everyday, let us make dailyliving normal.
Or not, depending on my mood

Love this.
I hope they discover it’s not absurd!
Me too. Everyone is on ‘eggshells’ these days because of political correctness. We should all just be ourselves. How nice that would be!
And that’s really what it’s about, isn’t it? Just being ourselves and allowing other people to be themselves.
❤
The trouble is no one is allowed to be themselves these days, and some people seem to think being themselves means they have to be nasty to other people. We’re in quite a mess! Absurd is a good word for it!
We all need to keep pointing that out. Thanks Iain.
Best to just wait and see.
They could have been playing cards during that awkward waiting. What a shame. 😉
Dear Susan,
If only people would realize that we’re more the same than different. I hope someone makes the first move. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Heaven forbid one do the neighbourly thing and welcome them… who know what they will discover?
Well done, Susan!
