The Road to Tingle Creek

Connie’s cell rang and when she looked, she saw it was Sharon calling. When she answered Sharon said she was being called in to work at the ER early and wanted to do a quick check up on Connie before she went in. In exchange would Connie feed her breakfast? Connie agreed as they were all awake anyway. Sure, Connie agreed, the more the merrier. Sharon said she and Paul were on the way, be there in a few minutes. Connie had just finished sautéing the zucchini in bacon grease and had poured the fork whipped eggs into the skillet when the world blew up. KA-BOOM! The building shook. The first explosion had detonated. It was deafening. The lights went out. Connie snapped off the stove. Mandy screamed when the first propane tank exploded and Ace and Magic ran to Connie. Ace for protection and Magic to protect. Misty flattened out on the floor and peed in fright. Out the kitchen window, that opened onto the porch, all that was visible was flames.
