Annoying little dog, yipping next door all night. I lug the pseudoephedrine and stew-meat from the grocery bag. There. That should fix it.

52|250 A Year of Flash 
Love this, Linda!
I live in Hampden. Would this work on carousing teenagers?
Do you really live in Hampden? There’s SO many Maryland folks ’round here. Unfortunately the med is only lethal in animals, including dogs and large rodents such as deer. Peace…
There’s a reason for the Maryland-centricity of 52|250! Walt lives in MD, and Michelle and I went to high school together in Annapolis.
Very cool — we should have a state tour of 52/250 reads! I knew about Walter, but not about you and Michelle. Peace…
Awesome. I’m not quite sure if this is brilliant, kind, or evil. :)
I read this … and then came back later and read it again and chuckled. Short, sweet and deadly.
the flat tone you use makes it especially lethel–
errr… meant to say lethal
:)
Ah yes, pharmacological solutions to modern living. :)
Great flash! Sound like something I’d hear over at Drabblecast.
Thanks all for reading! I had fun with this one, not my usual doom-and-gloom. Peace…
I love this! Telling a story in such a small space is tough, but I love how potent those few words are. (also, this reminds me of some mornings where I live… next to a dog grooming business. I swear, I won’t try this at home. ;))
Thanks Jen! I used to live next to a kennel; I used to think all the barking was cute. What did I know — I was just a kid. Peace…
