Wild Life on the Lam

Comment from Wendy G
What a fun story. I think they should just call these contests "Flash" so it could be either fiction or non-fiction. Does "on the lam" mean "on the run"? I haven't heard that expression before. I'm glad the man escaped harm. Maybe the homeless man was part of a homeless couple....
Best wishes for your entry.

Thank you Wendy. I did learn that she has been arrested before and charged and it isn't the first time. She apparently never wears clothes. They recovered the Ax and showed a picture of it. She has been seen walked down the streets nude. On the lam means on the run from ther law.

Maybe she was the wife of the homeless man and she wanted him to remain that way?
Great entry into the 100 word flash competition.
Best of luck..

Comment from Spitfire
I laughed at the last line. Of course, no women would volunteer to find the naked lady. But even a man should beware the rusty axe! Is the postscript fiction too? Good luck in the contest, Beth.

This may get disqualified since it was a story I read this morning.The title is fiction because a woman isn't considfered wildlife. I send you the story as I read it by PM. The Nudist Colony I looked up on line and found it has been there over 50 years. It called Indian Hills Campground. Slidell, La

Thank you Ulla. I think the fact she was chasing the man with an ax had to do with the full moon which makes people a littl crazier but the news today said the picked her up and she had picked up before for walking the streets with no clothes. I've don't that in my dreams but I'm aways terribly embarrassed and trying to hide.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I am curious what this is all about. Please keep us informed. My dog, Harley lost his stuff, barking uncontrollably when we had a partial eclipse a while back. I was afraid of what would happen this time. NOTHING!!!!! I'm guessing because it was cloudy so not an immediate darkening. Good luck with the contest.

Since it happened I don't know if they accept it a flash fiction but I thought it was too funny not to share. I'll send it to you on you message site.

I'm speechless! I don't know how to respond! This has neve3r happened in my life, that's for sure. If I got chased by an ax, it would be held by a fully clothed football player.

Thank you Jim. Maybe you should move to Louisiana. I saw this morning the lady has been identified and arrested and her ax taken. She's been arrested several times before because she refuses to wear clothes.

When fully clothed women show no interest in me, I doubt a naked one would!

Thank you Patricia. I thought it was an unusual story and left me wandering what could have gotten this lady with no clothes on such a rampage.

Comment from LJbutterfly
The good Samaritan couldn't have possibly made up such a story. He was near a nudist colony. Maybe a crazed guest wanted to frighten anyone who might come to gawk at the nudists. It's interesting many men wanted to search for the nude lady. Everyone forgot about the homeless man. Great story. Best wishes in the contest.

Thank you for the review and comments. I wondered if the homeless man really wanted to be rescued. She may have considered him he personal property.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the 100 Word flash fiction contest. The news these days is better than science fiction! If we tried to sell a story like this to a movie executive they would send us away laughing at the absurdity of our story. humorous and interesting entry. Good luck.

Beth, This is truly an amazing and six star story you have written. Sometimes the craziest things happen, not just when there is a happening in the sky. When I worked for our local Police Dept. we knew when it was a full moon all kind of crazy stuff would happen. Thanks for sharing. love and blessings, Teri

Thank you Teri, I pretty sure that full moon muct have had something to do with why she was chasing the guy with an ax. However I learned today they picked her up and took the ax. She has been picked before for walking the streets with no closthes on. Thank you so much for the six stars.
