Here it is, another unfinished story for y'all to finish, should you care to. The "rules" (these have changed slightly) are after your prompt story, which appears below in bold type.
The ducklings were stopping traffic. Well, not exactly traffic. Just the one car. The car I was in with my husband. The windows were rolled down to let in the fresh air. We were city folks, who'd left home for pastoral scenes and country air. Outside the car were nothing but rolling hills, stretches of forest, white clapboard houses and red barns. A dozen or so black cows, and a family of ducks.
"There is no way I am going to that party!" I yowled while I banged the steering wheel.
"You're going if I have to drag you!" he yowled back.
"You'll have to pull me by the hair!" I screeched out the open window. I didn't know I could screech like that. I was pissed.
That's when I heard the clop clop clopping coming up fast alongside the car.
"What on earth is that noise?!" I was grateful for the distraction, but what was that unearthly noise?!
I saw a horse nose pass the car and stop right around the level of my car's headlights.
A straw hat with sparkling eyes and a long long beard appeared in the driver's side window, my side. Inches from my steaming mad face.
