Damn it, I'm 61 now, which means I'm into my fourth year on Vocal, I have an interesting collection of stories. I love the Challenges and enter, when I can, but this has become a lovely hobby.

Grumpy
Hurmph, hurmph. With a spray of mucus, he sniffed the air, taking inventory of the animals encroaching on its domain. The bulk of the huge animal rose up on its hind legs and began scratching at its ‘rub tree’, spraying it with his pungent scent. Reminding the neighbouring bears to be aware of him and steer clear of his territory.

Watched
Mum, Mum, Mum, Mum! The fawn jumped and frolicked and rolled in the deep powdery-soft snow. It was an unexpected fall for this time of year and the mother deer was ever watchful.

The Rookie. Top Story - December 2023.
Sergeant Blake Billingsly, found the front door of the property wide open, television blaring and a fat ginger cat perched in front of it, oblivious to the intrusion. Finding the remote, he clicked it off, only to hear a deep, menacing growl coming from the furry statue.

Sergeant Billingsly turned the sound down, shook his head in confusion, then started his reconnaissance of the property.

My Spotify Wrapped up for 2023
Don't we just love Spotify? It has been the best thing for me, these past few years. I remember the days of little earbud headphones connected to my old Nokia, listening the the radio. After a couple of cheap Mp3 players died, I got an Ipod for Christmas. Yay, I could really choose my own music.
