100 Word Challenge Week #14

    “Hey…. I just returned from Africa yesterday and I have a little gift for you.”

Alice couldn’t wait to introduce Amber to Stevey. He was the funniest monkey in the world. As soon as Alice was awake, she Face Timed everyone she knew, including Amber, to show her the surprise that was waiting in the extravagant hotel lobby. Alice set the computer on the table in front of Stevey. A scream of pure delight erupted from the speaker. Stevey angrily pushed the laptop off the table.

She couldn’t blame Stevey; she appreciated her eardrums too.

Because the tiger was blocking our escape, we called the zoo and waited upstairs for them to come. Personally, I was overjoyed when they arrived.
