Jambo and the Squirrel

So yesterday in my creative writing class we had to write a short story where each of the sentences had to start with a letter in the alphabet.
We also had to kill someone off.
In 30 minutes or less.
This is what happened:

(Caution: I was in a werid mood...and it was 8 in the morning...;p)

After a hard day’s work, Jambo laid down his axe.

Before he could stop and rest, however, a squirrel nimbly ran up and sat in front of him.

Careful not to frighten the rodent, he remained quite still.

Despite his caution, the squirrel, unbeknownst to Jambo, was rabid and quite untrustworthy.

“Egad!” Jambo cried as the squirrel leapt on to his face. “I never should have trusted you and your apparent cuteness!”

Face: bleeding.

Given that he just had rabies shots, Jambo was comforted to know that he wouldn’t be infected.

However, the squirrel attached to his face was a problem that wasn’t going to go away on its own.

“It seems that I must do something about this squirrel on my face,” Jambo pondered. The squirrel on the on the other hand was delighted that he fooled yet another victim with his deceptively cute, large eyes.

Just when Jambo thought his face could take no more, the squirrel released him because it was quite hungry.

“Keep your face,” the squirrel seemed to say as he made his way to find some food.

Lightening was the speed it used to escape from Jambo’s now wildly swinging axe.

Murderous revenge was all he wished upon the squirrel.

“Nuts, nuts, nuts. Always nuts,” The squirrel probably thought sadly. “I just long for a grapefruit.”

Obviously there isn’t a lot of options in the forest for the squirrel.

Presumably, this is why the poor little fellow is so nasty.

Quite literally; he’s gone nuts.

Returning to poor Jambo, his face is all scratched up and bloody. The little squirrel’s claw marks are visible on his face.

Suddenly, he realizes that his rabies shot expired! (If such a thing is possible.)

This shocking revelation struck him so forcefully he died right then and there.

Unfortunately for Jambo, the squirrel didn’t really have rabies. It was just deceitful that way.

Very sad news for Jambo and his family of 15.

Who will now all starve and die.

Xena, his young warrior princess daughter, will now never have her own show.

Yes, they all died because the squirrel was sick of nuts.

“Zat izz zee vay of ze vorld,” the squirrel concluded, as he practiced his German accent.

The End
