Moving swiftly through the yard of the Peaceful Eden Nursing
Home toward the parking lot, Tanner was on a mission. He could feel his
excitement growing as he neared the neighborhood at the end of Eden Street. It
was almost Dusk. It was his time. He had been getting more brazen with his
peeping. He was going to try to enter the Henderson’s laundry room window
tonight. Last night he had watched for an hour or more and realized that he
could fit through but lost his nerve as the man and his wife were right in the
living room in sight of the window if they turned around. It was terrifying for
him but he could see the pile of underwear on the basket that sat on the
Henderson’s dryer. He collected stolen underwear. He had a stash that he hid under Miss Avery’s
bed back at Peaceful Eden. Miss Avery doesn’t get around well so no worry she
will find them. His breathing stopped so his hearing would be heightened and he
went in as quietly as he hoped.
As Tanner entered the parking lot of Peaceful
Eden toward Miss Avery’s open window, he did so with tremendous satisfaction of
his huge accomplishment. Entering his room quietly as not to attract attention
yet, he hid his new trophy under the bed. He turned toward Miss Avery and
allowed a meow to announce his arrival. As expected Miss Avery cooed at Tanner,
asking him where he had been and had he been a good boy? Tanner jumped in her
lap and already was planning on his next nights adventure as he drifted off to
sleep purring contently.
