Book Cover & Preview Text
I knocked on the screen door and could see Bill sitting inside. It was an old farmhouse with a very dark living room. Bill told me to come in, so we walked in and sat next to him. I looked around, wondering why it was so dark. As I scanned the room, I noticed what looked like a Beretta handgun between me and Bill. I immediately looked at him and saw him gazing at the ceiling. Just then he reached over, grabbed the gun, and shot at the ceiling, scaring me out of my skin.
Overjoyed, he shouted, “Got him.”
I looked up at the ceiling and realized he had shot a BB pistol at a fly. It was now embedded in the acoustical ceiling, which was full of black specks. It then occurred to me that the black specks were prier fly executions. I immediately excused myself, grabbed Kerry, and went home as fast as I could. I told Gloria about the incident and said our neighbor was crazy and that we must be too for having moved into this place of never-ending surprises and calamities.
