Rotten Cheese

I paced back and forth. Should I do this? Is it the right thing?...Yes. It is. Wink even said so.

I bit my lip and crawled to the living room only to find Annie on her laptop, probably writing a feminist speech of some sort.

Okay, just 2 feet away. All I have to do is bite a wire. Quickly, I ran over to where the wire was located. I chewed until it shut off. SHIT! Where do I go now?! Annie's gotten MAD!

I hid under the couch breathing hard. She was looking at the wire. So close to me. Annie...

*****

"No, Mark, I have the biggest protest of my life today and I have no damn paper! My dog chewed the wire to my computer and it died right while I was in the middle of writing the speech."

I felt bad. But I needed her to stay home today. "I just won't go. I will end up making a fool out of myself without that paper!"

She slammed the phone down. Oh, Annie. If only she knew it was for her own good. Those men are only going to see up her skirt. Besides, she's got a date tonight... With the bastard I thought I killed. I guess I didn't kill him. Tonight was my second chance and I needed a plan.

A good one.
