OH NO! WE ARE LOCKED IN
by Theresa (Thurm)Thomas-A Nighthawk Commando
Scenario: Locked in a room with Murdock, a can opener, sewing kit and a
bottle of baby oil.
"For the land of the free and the home of the Brave!!"
The crowd goes wild!
I turn to Murdock standing there shirtless and at attention.
I had used his shirt to make a cute little baseball outfit for the can
opener. "OK I will admit it; I just wanted to have Murdock
shirtless-There I said it-are you all happy?"
"AHH! Murdock you can stand at ease now."
"Right Muchacha-Let’s play ball!!"
"You’re up to bat first" I say as I stand there with the tiny spool of
thread in my hand. I look to the catcher. He gives me the fast ball
signal, but I am thinking the curve ball would work better in this
situation. So I completely ignore his instructions, after all he is
invisible.
I wind up for the pitch and BANG Murdock swings the empty bottle of baby
oil that he is using for the bat He drives the spool of thread a
whopping 12 inches. It is a spectacular sight to behold. It is better
then any Home run that Mike Schmidt ever hit.
Murdock rounds the bases with a speed that I have never before seen; he
runs the entire 20 feet of the room in less then 30 seconds. However,
the can opener on third is not a player to be messed with. # 27 dives
for the spool of thread lightening fast, and Murdock slides for home.
"This is going to be a close one Folks."
The can opener turns toward home, throws the spool of thread. Murdock is
still sliding, the spool of thread soars throw the air
gracefully-barreling toward home plate. Murdock is still sliding. The
spool of thread- Murdock-the spool of thread-Murdock-Who will get there
first?
"WOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Murdock yells as he continues to slide.
"Sorry Murdock, its the baby oil that I put on the floor" I yell out as
Murdock slides past #27, past home plate, past the invisible catcher and
comes to an abrupt stop as he hits the locked door.
I run to Murdock side stepping the baby oil "Are you all right?" I ask
as I gather him up in my arms.
"I’m OK Baby, but I hit my head-Do you think it will make me sane? Oh
please tell me it won’t do that-please" Murdock looked at me with those
beautiful chestnut brown eyes.
"Don’t worry sweetie-everything will be just fine" I say as I glance at
the shirtless, handsome man before me covered in baby oil and the
"conveniently" locked door behind us-
"Do you think someone will come and let us out soon Muchacha?"
"Oh don’t worry Honey-We will find a way out of this room somehow" I say
as I nonchalantly pat my pocket containing the key to the door. "But in
the meantime-how about a nice massage and…….."
"Sorry folks the game has been called on account I have other matters to
attend to..( Wink Wink)
"Everyone out!"
