[QUOTE="mrman226, post: 219064, member: 656"] Chapter 7 I’ve been patiently waiting near the window, but to the side so as not to be seen, waiting still for that call on my really small Bluetooth headset, unfortunately they only had squirrel size left. Deciding to go check on them, I moved over to the window, and suddenly, about ten squirrels come flying out the window, screaming for their lives. “Oh God…” I thought to myself, somewhat out loud.
