Day 41: 5 Minute Freewrite- Prompt: The goat ate my (PPW1)

Day 41: 5 Minute Freewrite initiated by @mariannewest Prompt: The goat ate my (PPW 1)

Gert's next door neighbor, Tom has a goat named Billy. She heard Tom yelling, "Billy Goat? Where are you Billy Goat?" "Oh please! You couldn't be more original with his name?" she muttered. But Gert had given Tom an ordinary name also, "Peeping Tom." Not because he peeks at her, but because he peeks in her windows when she is not at home. She caught him twice while driving home after being out for the day.

When Gert was doing yard work, she noticed that 2 things were damaged; the wooden pole that held the wind sock and the wooden swing on her porch. These items were not in the range of her cameras. She had seen Billy in her yard before and knowing that goats eat wood, she assumed that Billy was the culprit.

Gert was now looking out the windows constantly and when she saw Billy in her back yard once again, she slammed her hand down on the counter and shouted "The goat ate my elm tree!" It was just a sapling, but that was the last straw. She ran outside, grabbed Billy by the back of the neck and felt something. It was a video camera which she immediately grabbed and ran back into her house. "It's bad enough that I have Peeping Tom and now I have Peeping Billy too?" she snarled.

Gert thought she would find video of herself or the inside of her house, but as she watched the video she found something much more interesting. There was footage of Peeping Tom doing what she least expected.

Timer went off. Time to stop typing and time for your imagination to run wild!
