cheating is bad

a love story that ends badly

A story for Western lovers. In this story there’s a cowboy, a sheriff, a horse, a cat (actually, I threw that in to please cat lovers) and, of course, a woman. A story wouldn’t be a story without a woman (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!) Enough chitchat!

 

The story took place a long time ago, in the Far West. Inside the sheriff’s house, a man and a woman were upstairs, lying in bed, smoking cigarettes (wonder why). On the floor, a cat is curled up, purring contentedly (a promise is a promise). The woman, named Daisy, was all hills and valleys and had a pair of endless legs. She drew on her cigarette and let smoke drift out of her nostrils. She turned to the young man next to her and said in a sultry voice:

“if my husband knew, he’d crucify you”.

Her companion, a handsome kid with a three-day beard replied:

“I’ve always been careful, haven’t I?”

As if on cue, there was a knock at the door.

“Oh, God, My husband!” Exclaimed Daisy.

Don’t you think husbands are a pain in the neck, always turning up out of the blue when they are least expected? Anyway, Billy, the kid, gathered his clothes and jumped out of the window while Daisy, death pale, went to open the door. It was her husband come to retrieve his mobile.

 

A week later

The same bedroom. The same couple. New cigarettes. And Billy, the kid’s leg in a cast.

“What if it happened again?” asked the curvy lady.

“Don’t worry”, answered Billy with a smug smile, “this time I stationed my horse right under the window”.

Guess what. A knock came on the door and, naturally, Billy jumps out of the window but, in his haste, forgot to open it first. Well, a pane could be replaced. Daisy opens the door and, there, on the door step, is Billy’s horse. “Don’t you worry, Lady”, it said, “if the sheriff comes, I’ll whinny three times”.

This is a hilarious slapstick version of adultery gone wrong! To me, the funniest part is that the young stud is no doubt going to break another body part, since his horse isn't underneath where he expects it to be. I'm waiting to find out how the cat plays into the action, tho. In this one, your conversational asides to the reader are some of your best. I probably missed something tho . . . (((HUGS)))

haha I don't think you missed much, M. the cat was just a useless prop. just for the hell of it.

perhaps, my anachronism i.e. cellular, went unnoticed. the story's meant to take place in the Far West, at the time of gunslingers.
thanks a lot dearest, for your continued encouragement (((H))) ;)

I hate it when the site eats up half of the comment. I don't remember what I wrote. except for the mobile which I'd meant it to be a funny anachronism. don't know if it worked.

Haha, wasn't expecting that ending, though I knew enough about your style to know SOMETHING was coming. But man! The kid ran right through the window! That must have been a pain!

[Woody]

yes sooner or later, a cheater will come a cropper. you'd think he'd learned his lesson. nope. he had to come back for more.
thanks a lot Clifford.

I know Billy the Kid pulled some funny pranks, but I never knew he had taught his horse to speak for him. Valentine

[Woody]

it's probably the little child in me. I like talking animals.
reading this old one again, I realized I could've done a better job of it. needs a bit of editing.
thank you Kathie :)

I like the end! Wonder what the boy broke this time? :)

[Woody]

Luckily, only his wrist this time. He won't be able to shoot straight, for some time. I heard it from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

You did as promised: A sheriff, a cowboy (incidentally, I got the Billy the Kid reference), a horse, a cat. And of course a woman. It didn't make any sort of sense, but it was very entertaining.

[Woody]

entertaining, that's good enough for me. thanks. But didn't you like the twist at the end? anyway, I hope you're getting to know me by now. I like to fool around. just for the fun of it.

[Marie]

All right the twist was clever, but not meaningful...

[Woody]

Granted. I wish you'd allow me to be the joker of the site. Everybody else seems to be sooo serious.

[Marie]

Yes, people are very serious on this site. You're doing just fime.

[Woody]

thank you kind lady.
