Welcome back, gang. Enjoy.
Good Deed for Today
Lee and Tina both tugged at Basil's arms. He was coming down from the rope. It was still around his leg. Basil starred at both in annoyance.
"That's not working!" Tina was looking at the rope. Basil's leg simply wasn't coming loose.
"You're a master at stating the obvious, Tina." Basil was rather stoic at the moment. His face was, his eyes were filled with nothing but annoyance. He had a right to be annoyed! The rope was wrapped around his bad leg.
"If you've got any ideas we'd like to hear them." Lee had stopped tugging at Basil's right arm. For some reason Basil had ended up thinking of ropes tied to horses that were about to rip him apart. Why? He wasn't sure.
"Go get someone taller!" Lee and Tina both left the stage. Basil starred in shock as he realized that he wasn't going to have anyone to talk to. He let out a sigh. "So Basil's how's your day been?" Well, maybe no one to talk to is a bit of a stretch. "Oh, fine Basil, yours?" He always had himself to talk to. "Oh nothing special aside from me and some other students getting trapped in a production of 'The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark' via voodoo." Basil sighed. "How sad is this?"
"Pretty sad." Basil looked to the left to see Brad standing next to him. "But I find this entertaining." Basil started to swing himself with arms outreached and hands trying to grasp at Brad's neck. "Now what are you trying to do?"
"What does it look like?" Basil continued to swing himself. His hands kept getting closer to Brad's neck. "I'm going to shake out your brain cells by way of shaking you by the neck!"
"You do no that won't work, right?" Brad kept moving out of Basil's reach.
"I DON'T CARE!" Basil once again swung himself forward until finally the rope broke. He ended up flying in Brad's direction screaming like a mad man! Brad stepped to the side causing Basil to miss him completely. As Basil flew through the air, he ended up falling through the trap door that had been open. There was a loud thud as Basil hit the ground. Brad walked over to the trap door and looked down into the pitch-black darkness below.
"Basil?"
"Yeah?"
"You okay?"
"Yeah!" Brad grinned at Basil's response.
"Good!" He closed the trap door, leaving Basil alone and walked away. And there was he good deed toward Basil for today!
