No Excuses Bill

    by: Zoo - Salted and Roasted Author IconMail Icon   [ More by this author ]
Bill neighbors were not about to let something like this go by unnoticed. In this quiet little neigborhood, there was no excuse for Bill not keeping up with his yardwork. And although they'd seen him out in the yard working lately, they of course refused to believe that this had happened overnight. They figured they must not have been paying attention.

" Bill, you're looking a little haggard. Rough night?" asked Rusty. He came over a little closer, and said quietly, " Bill you know these people around here aren't going to put up with this untidy yard you got going on, right?"

Bill looked at him dead in the eye. " Yeah I know Rusty. But look here, this is not my doing. I'm as shocked as the rest of you."

Rusty drew down the corners of his mouth while he considered this. " Shocked. Yeah. Sometime we can surprise even ourselves, I guess. But you'll have to snap out of it and get back to business. If you let your yard go, these people will run ya' right out of town. They're like animals ya' know. Very righteous about their yards. Look around Bill. Ain't they beautiful? " He motioned to the other nearby lawns, perfectly manicured, not a blade out of place, sparkling in the morning air.

He thinks I've fallen into a depression, thought Bill, that I've taken to laying on the couch all day doing nothing!Some of the other neighbors were frowning at Bill, too.....and whispering about him, he was sure.
