This week’s writing challenge: write on the theme of walls and barrier. The things people put between each other.
*****
I didn’t know that it was impossible to talk out loud in cyberspace. I’ll get out of this barrier and when I do, she’ll pay – oh she’ll pay. I was jubilant when she built a wall between our homes because I no longer had to see the trash in her back yard. How was I to know that she built the wall to keep me from tossing my trash over into her yard? How was I supposed to know that, when I built a short ladder so I could continuing tossing my trash over to her yard that she’d attack me and blow me into cyberspace with her sweet cinnamon, puce colored breath.
Well, I’m not waiting to get out of this barrier for revenge. I’ll send my friend an email and it will say: I need a favor. Late at night, sneak into my back yard, climb up the ladder and throw all your trash over the wall to my neighbor’s yard. Oh, and leave a note with an evil smiley face and my name on it. Signed, evil chirp.

Good idea, Connie. I'm so happy to be living out here in the country. I love my neighbors here.
Stubbornness sometimes pays.
We purchased 27 acres about 20 years ago. We cleared the fields and had a well drilled. We plan on building and moving on it when we retire. However, now I am wondering if the governement is going to let us retire or make us work till we die. :)
That being said, we live in the county seat town and still it is country. There is only one traffic light in the whole county. We don't need it. I honestly think they got a grant to buy something and thought a light would be cool. LOL
So, when will I have the pleasure of reading your work. You haven't posted lately.???

I have several stories that seem to have taken on a life of their own. I'll do nothing with them for months (years) and then some prompt will have me dragging them out of the closet, brushing them off, and adding something new.
