Are you ready for the Squirrelpocalpse? Do you know the dangers of suburban gardening? It's one neighborhood against nature's furry Robin Hoods in this tale of rodenticide and remorse. Excerpt from Chapter 1 - Tulips and Destruction: She told me again how beautiful my roses were and then looked me over in a strange way, as if she were sizing up my character or trustworthiness, or something. Then, apparently satisfied, she leaned in and asked a question in a conspiratorial tone. "So, what kind of rodent... activity do we have around the neighborhood?" The question took me back a bit. I was under the impression that she was going to proposition me, or ask me where she could buy pot, or something like that. "Rodents? You mean, like..." She stepped a bit closer. She smelled flowery with a hint of, what was it? Spearmint. Her eyes were big when she looked up into mine. "Rodents." She said slowly, "you know, gophers, rats, mice-" Her eyes involuntarily moved away from me, scanned my yard, and narrowed. "Squirrels." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ thanks for taking a look. i appreciate all feedback, stars, and follows. if you like this, check out my other (complete) stories: safari-land, dungeon memos, and a very short story about love.

"All's fair in love and war, or some shit, right?" He said, his smirk drawing to a slight sneer as he padded towards the open balcony. He rested his hands on the guardrail before letting out an exasperated sigh, thunder rolling behind it. The rain cascaded onto the tile in sheets, blowing the soft cream curtains back and forth. "Or some shit." I smiled, walking towards him. I could see the tension grow in his back and shoulders, his struggle evident. I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, trying my best to reassure him. I could feel his breathing hitch slightly at my touch; his response was all I needed to reassure me I was doing the right thing. My touch was welcomed. I leaned my head on his back, wrapping my hands around his waist. I longed to take away his pain; I hated seeing anyone this upset. She wasn't worth his time. He said so himself- he's never found a woman worth changing plans for. Maybe he meant since her, I can't be sure. I am, however, hoping to show him that, one day, that woman might be me. ****** Jeanie is a spunky assistant living in Atlanta.

With the start of a new job, she moved thousands of miles from her home- from her past.
