EXCERPT:
Shadows danced across Maisy’s face in the dim light.
Dramatic music filled her bedroom, and she reached for the popcorn bowl without
moving her eyes from her little TV screen.
It was a tense moment in one of her favorite old mystery movies. The villain was about to be caught. Maisy knew that the detective would soon
march out from a shadowy corner and catch the bad guy. He would be wearing a long trench coat and a
fedora hat. He’d sound so impressive when
he demanded that the villain, a sneaky looking robber named Vinny, turn himself
in, that Vinny would have no choice but to give up. But, Maisy was still on edge while she
watched the scene unfold.
She was curled up with her favorite pup, Reesie, snuggled
under the blanket beside her. As soon as
Maisy had turned off the lights and started the movie, the little dog had
nudged the pillows with her nose to show that she wanted under the covers. Maisy had complied with her request and
tossed the pillows to the floor, so that she could scurry under the fluffy,
purple comforter. Now, Maisy reached
over and patted the lump that was the tiny dog.
The movie wasn’t very scary.
After all, it was old and in black and white. Movies like that were not scary at all
compared to some movies made today. But,
still, Maisy loved the stories and detectives in the old movies so much that
she couldn’t help but be drawn into them every time she watched one. She felt a little better having her dog there
with her.
Suddenly, the moment she had been anticipating was on the
screen. The detective smoothly arrived on the scene and, after a little
scuffle, took control. Vinny gave in and
put his hands up to show he would go quietly.
Maisy relaxed and munched the last bits of her popcorn. As she sighed in
relief, a little nose popped out from under the purple covers. It was soon followed by the sweet face of a
little black and brown terrier-mix. One of her ears was flopped over, and she
stretched her mouth wide in a huge yawn. Apparently, Maisy had disturbed
Reesie’s slumber. The pup crawled around
and finally settled herself on Maisy’s lap.
She plopped her head down with a sigh and fell back asleep. She didn’t even notice as Maisy shook her
head and laughed.
