biscuits and tea

Walking Into To Nursing Home

You walk into the nursing home, a cold breeze, the smell of death. You walk towards your grandparent bugz. He sat in his chair listening to old 50s music. Bugz had very bad hearing so bugz is always yelling to turn the music up. You sit down beside him bugz doesn't know you are there, you tap his shoulder "bugz I'm here" you say in a small shy voice. Bugz turns round and yells "what was that sonny" in a old croaky voice. He looked closely at you and said "ohh sonny it's you" you both talk about what has happened recently in your life then bugz starts to tell you what happened "there is the lady called Francine here I hate her she is an old hag anyway she never leaves me alone, she walked into my room once and I told her to die. A few days ago she did die, old age am I right. I'm though because of the war I'm very strong and never going to die" he said in a proud old voice. Bugz stop moving "oh sonny you hear that? It's my song" bugz gets up and dances too some 50s music. Then he threw out his back and hips "oh sonny get me some tea and biscuits I threw out my back and hip again" you get him what he asked for and sat down again "did you know I won't four rounds of uno today" he was very proud of himself "did you know that the police came to see me? They thought u killed Francine, did you know that its Francines funeral today?" you looked at him and said "is that so?" he replied "she said if she ever died I wouldn't be allowed to go, Let's ask Francine how she's feeling today huh?" in a old mean voice "you know Francine was home of phobic" he said. You looked at him with a smile holding back a laugh. "home of phobic?" you said "I don't know why she was scared of houses tho maybe something to do with the war" you try not to laugh at him "can you pass me a biscuit sonny?" you pass him a biscuit. Bugz starts to tell you a story about fishing with your father, you zone out and stop listening, you come back and hear him say "I threw your father of that boat, that's how he died. You stay quiet about that sonny" you say you won't to him. "sonny ill do what I did to Francine. stay quite sonny" he said in a scary mad voice. "so you did kill Francine then?" you said in a worried tone "hush, drink some tea sonny" he said to you. You just looked at him. "drink. The. Tea" he said...
