Comments on 'You Asked for a Distraction'Three more shovels' worth of dirt, and I had a plan. Two more after that, and I was praying for a distraction. All I needed was a distraction. I have never in my entire life been more grateful for someone breaking wind as I was at that moment when Juacinto did just that.
Amidst their juvenile male giggles I lept from the shallow hole, rolling across damp, cool grass. Thank goodness for their natures being both puerile and lazy. With agility I hadn't remembered using since childhood I rolled up to my knees, then to my feet, and I was running. They were shouting, half at me, half at each other.
A metallic _schunk_ made my stomach drop, but then I heard Juacinto, "Cero, no! Abuela says no shooting!"
_Thank goodness for abuela_, I said to myself, huffing and puffing. But then I thought, _Screw abuela. She got me into this mess in the first place with her crazy visions._ It was official: Abuela Cruz was off my list of favorite people. Okay, so she was never really on it, being creepy and all.2008-03-31T16:24:43Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/25740Comment on You Asked for a Distraction<p>This series is a Must read,<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25740?basename=532352008-03-31T16:24:43Z Kermitgorfhttp://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorfComment on You Asked for a Distraction<p>Oh dear!

It’s very unique and refreshing.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/25740?basename=514402008-03-25T06:21:11ZFantasyhttp://ficlets.com/authors/fantasyComment on You Asked for a Distraction<p>What now?!
