Baited Breath

I watched with baited breath. In silence I knelt, crouching, peering snapping photos.

I heard their wind carried voices, “Right you are Bob, this is a right a heavy one we got here,” said the taller of the grave robbers.

They pulled the coffin from the wet ground, I could hear them grunting.

“What, did you ear that Bob?,” said the lanky one, “I thought I heard a noise.”

“You didn’t ear it from this one,” he laughed as he pointed at the cadaver.
I panicked and ran as fast and as far as I could in the thick mud beneath me.

    I love the line you didn’t ear it from this one. Very funny. Now, what’s going on with all the sequels to this one? Off to read them, one by one.

    Good job in portraying the two bumbling grave robbers.
