As I sit down for breakfast at a window seat at my favorite eatery, the restaurant is filled with patrons enjoying their meals when the restaurants television showing The Price is Right game show is interrupted as the TV blasts an urgent warning from a Reporter standing near City Hall while interviewing the Mayor and the Chief of Police, both very sweaty and whose hair is unkempt. With the Reporters mic held just under his chin, the Mayor yells, "Everyone should be cautious around any type of window today because..." Several angry birds suddenly interrupts the interview by swarming everyone then attacking, which makes the Chief of Police draw his weapon and deploy several rounds before the TV screen goes blank after a bird runs into the news camera. "What in Gods name?" Just as I inquire, several Geese smash through the eatery's windows two seats in front of me and cause pandemonium, I quickly duck and cover under my table. Without looking, I reach up trying to find my fork and knife only to receive pecks from marauding aves. I yelp then quickly withdraw my hand because of the stinging. I peak out and look towards the entrance, "Dude, I am peacing out of here," I whisper. Every table has people swinging at flying foul. Various fluids and broken glass cover the floor from panicked Waitresses dropping undeliverable drinks and meals, Patrons flailing their arms as they try to survive the assault knock over their complimentary water isn't helping the ambience and decor of the restaurant. Just then, double doors behind the counter leading to the kitchen swings open for the Chef, who is garbed in white attire while donning his Chefs hat, is holding hatchets, "Geese, Geese, Geese, are on the menu, y'all are going to save me some money today like I am about to buy some new car insurance from GEICO!" he yells. The flock stopped their scrimmage seemingly understanding what was yelled at them, then look towards the Chef and quickly leave smashing through the window where I cower under the table. I stand up. "Quack!" I hear behind me and dive under the table. It is the Chef grinning from ear to ear. I crunch my face and stare at him, "Dude...Really?" "I handled my business on those Geese, y'all will be alright," says the Chef as he tries to comfort me. Fluid, barely eaten breakfasts, broken glass and feathers lay scattered everywhere. A child about 10 years old holds up a few feathers in the palms of his hands then blows them in order to watch them float to the floor. "Stop that, Tommy, let's go." His mother grabs him by the hand as their shoes make crunch sounds on the way out of the restaurant. Everyone left cheers for the Chef as he bows. While headed out of the store, I see shattered glass in front of every building, vehicles are windowless and I see a guy sobbing while holding his laptop that was apparently involved in a Goose hit and Run. "I just bought this, man, just my freakin' luck to lose a few bucks because of an angry Duck." Then something nasty splatters on his head from above as Geese fly by. Okay my Writing.com fam. I hope I was able to relay the message of the power of using 'Coincidences' in your stories, especially if you run into writers block, Trust me, I could keep going, but Denzel Washington wants me to move my car, I kinda parked in his spot...my bad...I am aware of what chaos his character from the movie, Equalizer is capable of causing. |
