I would love to have a piece of that banana bread, and I guess you would, too... wow! But it's all gone, with great fanfare, and a somewhat scandalous announcement that followed. Poor Shannon -- no good deed goes unpunished!
I didn't really understand the connection to the image, except that it had a tomato in it, but it was cute.
Scott seems to give you and your neighbors plenty of excitement!

    Never a dull moment with him. As with all my humor fiction, inspired by truth!

Hahaha. I'm sure that same note has been scrawled upon bathroom stalls!

My funny raccoon story:
Camping with friends in my early twenties. We stopped at Steak N Shake on the way to the campsite. We wandered off in the woods right at dusk, my shake wasn't gone yet. I left it on the picnic table. We returned to a poor raccoon with the shake cup stuck on his head, pawing at it. We couldn't pick who was going to approach the thing and free it. We stood there laughing and he freed himself. The little guy must have learned his lesson because once the cup was on the ground, he approached it again, but only licked around the edges.

This is the best Flash I've read for a long time. I care not whether it's fact or fiction, iy's the pace that's just right, and the punchline is sublime (although I usually discourage the use of different colours).

    I rarely use colors- I went by show not tell.

Hi Liz,
Wow! Shannon is getting a reputation and all she did was bake you a banana bread. (Hint... tell her to add chocolate chips to her recipe. It makes a good banana bread even better.)
You need to take Scott out for supper, for all these stories you share with us. They are super! Though, I don't think Scott uses words like "hubris/ penchant/regale/homage/ingenuity/absconded/ravenous".
You have such terrific ability to construct wonderful sentences...
"I've got the pitcher in hand, ready to pour, when I hear a shriek fit to shatter my sunglasses."
"So, with my spaghetti digesting in the gut of a raccoon, and me craving carbs, I figure banana bread would fit the bill."
Marvelous ending!
Nicely penned!
Hugs,
Kimbob

Maybe you should invite Scott to join FanStory? He must be a great story teller. He seems to have so many things happening to him. Sarah's repeat appearance is interesting. I hope she will leave the tomatoes to the raccoons. They have as much right to them as Sarah does. The note is a scream. Great story. judi

    He's certainly an interesting character, and a great story teller as well. judi

Elizabeth:

Now, that is what one would absolutely have to call high praise. That's why I tend to place all my notes in sealed envelopes. It seems to work so much better that way.

Trust those construction workers to seize on any innuendo (were YOU a construction worker in a past life?) A humorous story getting comedy from human failings of entitlement (Sarah's) and a desire to embarrass (the crew), and human generosity (Scott's and Shannon's), with the addition of a raccoon for animal lovers or haters.

Hi Liz :)
What a hilarious story, on every count!
Poor Shannon.... the woman must be mortified!
Feel kinda sorry for Scott too though - what is it about his garden that all and sundry think they can either help themselves or stake claim on his various crops?! Good on him for selling Sarah the racoon story!
An enjoyable read, thanks for sharing.
Best wishes, Debra :)
