Short Story Times Two

Posting for Saturday, December 1st, 2012

This is another "interview" with the same coworker, again the names have been changed.  Hope you like it....

Being extremely OCD, if Sara could invent one thing to make her day to day life easier, she did not hesitate to mention she would create a remote control to fast forward past things she didn’t like in life. If life was ideal for her she would like to be a professional sound mixer because she loves music and would like to be surrounded by it.

While Miranda does all the housework and decorates for Christmas, Rockin Around the Christmas Tree is blaring from the Bose System, while Sara sits on her butt and thinks about the # 77 because you get 8 more than 69. She is probably dreaming of playing Batman in the theater too so she can drool over Catwoman.

When Miranda isn’t being a slave with housework and having the oil changed or tires aired up for her captor Sara, Miranda is described by Sara as “shy” “intelligent” and “caring.”

When Sara is not looking in the mirror making sure there are no hairs out of place, she does not ponder on changing her name ever, it fits her and her father named her so she feels she was destined to keep her name.

While watching her favorite movie Jaws, while Miranda is polishing the floors or silverware, or whatever other chore, Sara has “assigned” to her she dreams of eating peanut butter fudge. She gets out her notebook and adds that to Miranda’s “to do” list.

Sara quickly changes the channel when Tom Cruise is on Oprah on a repeat jumping on the fur\ture. That is not allowed in Sara’s world and she doesn’t like to witness it on her idol Oprah’s show either. While flipping through the channels she decided to watch Jay Leno, it was rare this old bird was up that late, but she got disgusted and turned off the tv and threw the remote control across the room when she saw Sarah Jessica Parker’s mug on tv.

Sara fell asleep on the couch snoring and dreaming how she could change the world if she could, she would do more for VETS, those who have served our country and haven’t been shown what their service has meant to us. She also dreamt that she was admitted to the hospital but thought that was strange since she has never been admitted to the hospital in real life. Except for her sex addiction but I am not supposed to write about that episode in her life.

Trying to please her Captor, aka Sara, Miranda tried to rack her brain for the perfect romantic evening. It was a bit chilly to walk at the Newburgh River and talk so she tried to get reservations for a corner private table at Hacienda they were booked for a bridal shower, Los Bravos was shut down because they ran out of goat cheese, and Roca Bar was closed down because of plumbing issues and something to do with poo all over the restaurant. Miranda  racked her brain, knowing BA would never settle for Hardees, TGI Fridays, or Chili’s, so she knew she was destined to be the slave girl once again and cook something for Stephani.

Miranda did have one ace up her sleeve, the next day they were leaving for a remote beach with clear water and white sandy beaches, where it was private and they could skinny dip for the next 72 hours. They were going to drink fruity drinks with umbrellas and bring a cabana boy home to their friend Carmen.

Everyone was hoping that Sara would be able to relax on this trip. She has been known to have a fist fight or two and at times she can be forgiving, just depends on the situation.

Sara is not really an ogre she is pretty nice and doesn’t really treat Miranda like Miranda-ella(Cinderella). But it was a fun image to portray. J
