18. Neither Fish Nor Fowl

November 7, 2020 ~ Nicole Smeltzer ~ Leave a comment

Nicki looks out the window as the girls who bullied her on Halloween pass by.

Nicki sighs.

A lizard snoozes on the welcome mat.

Nicki opens the front door and a lizard scurries away.

The family cat immediately catches the lizard

The cat, Rapunzel, offers the lizard to Nicki. Nicki smiles softly.

Nicki: You're lucky you're a cat, Rapunzel.

Nicki sheds a tear as her cat butts her forehead. "No one ever says you're a weirdo and that you'll never have any friends."

Rapunzel licks Nicki's nose.

Nicki smiles at the cat. "But that's not true, is it?"

Nicki licks the cat back.

Nicki and the cat stare at each other.

Nicki wipes her mouth. "Bleagh!"

14. Blanketed

October 4, 2020 ~ Nicole Smeltzer ~ 2 Comments

The sun rises over the house on the morning after Halloween

Nicki sits up in bed, groaning, hiding under her purple blanket.

Still hiding under the blanket, she groans as she pours a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Ashley watches with concern.

Nicki watches TV from under the blanket, still groaning.

At dinner, Nicki sits at the table with her family, still hiding under the blanket and groaning.

Dad: Take the blanket off at the table.

Nicki: NO! Not until we move back home!

Mom: This IS home now. You haven't even given it a chance!

Chrissy: Yeah, Nicki... Give the cockroaches a chance.

A cockroach peeks out from behind a portrait on the wall.

Mom: Palmetto bugs.

Dad yanks the blanket off Nicki's head.

Nicki looks miserable, her hair sticking up with static.

Dad: It'll get better, Nic. I promise.
