Wednesday Writing Essentials 8/8/12 911…

The Rules:

Keep in mind, this is a monitored group and there are only a couple of rules, which are:

Make sure you put this (WWE, 8/8/12, Call 911) in your title.

Be sure to tag it with WWE, Gather Writing Essentials, and Call 911. Post to Gather Writing Essential.

I ask that you make your submission(s) by next Tuesday afternoon.

There is a limit of three submissions from each member per day. If you’re extremely prolific, spread out your work and post only three submissions per day.

Most important:

Put this challenge statement at the beginning or end of your submission so readers will know what you’re supposed to do and won’t think you’re crazy.

Challenge:

Write in any form you desire about what the snake is up to or anything else involving calling 911.

Last year someone broke into my apartment and robbed me, I got up and chased him out of my house and called 911, when they answered I told them what happened and gave them my address. We hung up our phones and I waited for the police to come to my door.

Fifteen minutes later I got a call, it was the 911 operator calling to ask if I lived in Mount Vernon, NY. I said no that I lived in Gaylord, Michigan. He asked what I dialed to get the police in NY and I told him I dialed 911. After we hung up I realized what happened, I had never changed my Vonage phone number when I moved back to Michigan and still had my Mount Vernon number so when I dialed 911 it automatically called the police in Mount Vernon.

At the time it was annoying but now I laugh at the situation because the police never caught my robber and I might just as well have the Mount Vernon police look for him for all the good it did!!
