What's Going On Here?
I had a "What's going on here?" event while visiting a former college roommate recently. As we stood chatting in her kitchen, a high-pitched alarm caught us off guard. We scanned the appliances - nothing on. We checked the windows and doors - nothing open. We climbed a stool and poked the fire alarm - still nothing. Exasperated and desperate to stop the noise, we scrolled the house alarm panel - still nothing. What in the world? Even her beautiful border collie had bolted outside to wait it out, but her human handlers were clueless. My friend slapped the countertop, flummoxed. The alarm suddenly stopped. We stared at each other and then at the counter, where a square black plastic mat mocked us. She flipped it over and started laughing. It's the "Scat Mat!" she explained. "It's supposed to be on the kitchen trash lid to keep the dog away. I must have leaned on it somehow." I laughed at the time, but I swear that dog looked guilty.
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
The angry boss pushes through the group. He stares at the trembling, panting horse. “Somebody better tell me what’s going on here!” he yells. “Where’d this horse come from?” There is an uncomfortable silence. Not getting an answer, he turns and points at Maxzyne. “You, get over here!”
She bites her lower lip, afraid to look at Rico. There is a murmur of Spanish as she slowly walks around the bleachers and into the ring.
