The Shed 16

Using parts from the Mandolin and Donut Machine, I made this to place by the lav ...

A roar starts to grow in the distance. Visaera Ellente, the green pixie, looks up from the bartending book she's studying. A cloud of dust is climbing up from the horizon, shimmering in the spring warmth. She flits up to a branch of the massive oak tree to get a better look as the object draws closer.

Soon she can see it, a black carriage of some sort, looking like a cruel beetle tearing along the meadow toward the oak tree. The roar is growing louder and more deafening, and Visaera holds her tiny hands over her ears. Whoever is in that horrible thing is going to get a stern talking to...from Pesky, of course, since I can't speak.

As the carriage crests the hill, speeding along Old Shed Road, it veers off right by the tree. Visaera's heartbeat quickens and she hides behind a branch as the carriage spins around, ripping up grasses and wildflowers. Now stationary, it roars a few times, VROOM! VROOM! VROOOOOOOMMMM! before falling silent except for some faint clicking noises coming from its front.

Visaera peeks out from behind her branch. She can make out strange writing on the side, the characters "Z28", and "CAMARO", whatever that means. There is a click, and the side of the beetle-carriage pushes outward. A wool-clad figure in well-worn boots climbs out and looks around from underneath its hood.

She flits out of the tree toward the figure, and sits on the roof of the beetle-carriage. The roof seems to be made of glass and she can see inside.

Shepherd turns to the tiny green woman. "Hiya, Visaera. Sorry about the flowers. Dang things are hard to control on dirt."

Her lips purse sternly and she waggles a prim finger at PrairieShepherd. He just smiles at her and shakes his head slightly. "I missed you too, my Lady," he bows slightly.

She tries to hold the look, but her heart overflows at seeing her friend again, and his quirky smile melts her disapproval. She flits over to his shoulder, and leans into his cheek, suddenly content.

Worse than a pyxie you are. Then again, that's everyone in the shed.

Hiya Blue!

I laughed my way through the first few pages...by the time I read Lucid's story about the refugees lined up in their jammies I was almost in tears! (laugh-cry tears, that is)

Just got back home from being in the real world and I'm very happy to be home with you all now.

a reply to: jacygirl

Hi Jess, yes meds will do that. I am glad he is resting now. And you can have a visit here in our new home.

Waves at Blue!
Hey I was just thinking, I get you mixed up with Wis because you both have wolves and the color blue in your avatars, now we have you and Blues. I keep seeing blue everywhere and wolves. Ha!
