Morning, my dears!!
I am having a relaxed weekend, so far. I hope you are, too!
Deacon tries to break up a fight in Lud … It is longer than six sentences, for context. Forgive me. 🙂
—————————————————————————————
Late one night, Ludwig Dreck showed up at the diner while I was trying to break up a brawl between two ne’er-do-wells who’d had one too many beers and insulted each other’s spouses and sexual prowess.
I glimpsed him out of the corner of my eye as I struggled with the idiots straining against me, but the shock of the sight of Lud didn’t detract from the matter at hand.
“Phil, let him go,” I growled as I placed a hand each between him and George, pressing against their chests while both men attempted to grab each other’s shirts for the millionth time, it seemed. Some buttons had already popped off somewhere.
“Shut up, Deke. This ain’t your affair.” Right, because they hadn’t just busted two chairs and broken a table leg, and had
done something similar last month.
“You don’t stop, I’m calling the cops. Again.” They continued to strain against my hold, and my arms felt the burn. “What’s it gonna be, guys?”
“He started it!” George yelled, grunting as he worked to get around me once more. “Ain’t that right, Joshua?” Before I could react, someone tackled me from behind, and the four of us crashed to the floor.

LOL. “He started it!” cracks me up. 😄
Hehe 🙂 It was a fun scene to write.
Loved the last line, nice action scene.
Thank you! 🙂
Oh, this is good! I want to know what happens next.
Thanks. 😀
Heh, those guys are so mature! 😉
Aren’t they? 🙂
I have my guess as to who sent everyone crashing to the floor, but I’ll keep mum. Excellent brawl scene!!!
Thanks, Laura! 😀
Heh, this is a fun scene! (heart)
Thanks 🙂
Nice! I think action scenes, well, outside of sex… ~grin~ …are a weak point in my writing. Be well!
Thanks, and you, too! Practice, practice, practice. 🙂
