Another go

It's been a long time between posts and it also could be long time before the next one. It will depend on my motivation levels and my urge to write.

I have been considering how I could practice my writing where others could perhaps get some enjoyment or laughs from my efforts and thought renewing my blog would be a good place to start. So I suppose this renewal is my way of putting silly stories, be they fact or fiction out there and I hope some people will get some enjoyment out of them and hopefully give some feedback using the comments option.

Here's the first effort inspired by something I saw on my way to work one morning.

The Crows

The sentry stood atop the ledge overlooking the box lying on the grass below. It was important the others could be warned if there was a threat in the area.

The box was clear and the contents could seen easily by the group however the problem was how to open the box so the contents could be shared. After an initial inspection and a little prodding from at least two of them they could not work out how to open the box. 

The first combatant approached again, picked up the box threw it so it landed upside down in the hope the bottom of the box may be am easier way to open it. Still no solution the box stayed firmly shut.

The second party had a go, working away at the sides of the box in the hope of levering it open. After three or four goes they all moved back realising another approach was needed.

The third party who had been watching these attempts stepped up and as the others took a step back he flipped the box back over, perched on top of it then started poking and prodding at the top with all his might.

The top of the box slowly started to crack. The poking and  prodding increased in speed and intensity. Finally he made it through. Just a small hole to begin with but with more poking the hole grew larger until finally he was able to reach the contents.  

The others in the group stood back to let him enjoy the spoils first. The one that had been keeping watch flew down to join the others. After the first one had finished the others took their turn in eating the sushi roll. A just reward for their efforts.

Following their feast the crows gathered and flew off to find more spoils.
