SALLY'S SAGA

Grace is hosting Quadrille #43,
and has chosen the word “creak” for
our 44 word poem.   For a while there
I was on a roll … but it seems I ran
out of words!

*****************

Sally was a fair young maiden
Who heard a creaky stair
She grabbed her trusty pistol
They’d not catch her unaware

She hid behind her bedroom door
Preparing for the worst
With pistol cocked she waited
As through the door he burst 

        ……  The End

  6. Now, I think you need to write another quadrille to tell us what happened?

  7. We have those creaky stairs in our house. Lucky I don't own a gun. Drywall repair would begin to get costly! Great write; ended too soon.

  14. Your piece is interesting - it can be treated as something comical or something that is ominous. Because I am weary of all the sadness and pains I read about, I will go for a funny resolution here. :-)

    Happy day to you.

    1. It was strictly tongue-in-cheek. Nothing ominous here!

  15. ...and that's why they call her "Two-gun Sally"! Nice work leaving is in suspense!
