Foul or Folly?

As the ball came in, he felt a slight nudge, and a sly idea popped into his mind.

As he went down dramatically, the whistle blew and the card rose into the air.

Provoked

“Blow up the airport,” he proclaimed aloud as the two neighbors held hands and celebrated a new friendship.

Possessed

Slamming the book on the table he got to his feet.

“Nothing can really be possessed. It’s just told to scare kids!”

He gurgled and with a small pause said his first word, “Mom”.

Her cheeks moistened on the double surprise.

There he was, waiting for her, and she went towards him- her friend.

As she walked towards him, dressed in yellow, he began shooting in bursts.

Following orders, she leaped and the black instrument clattered down as red flowed.

She just roared.
