Summer day at the cottage

Funny how you never feel it coming . You can fantasizes all you want you can plan but you never feel when it is coming . I always rent a cottage up north a place that at best is rugged no frills. A place I like to get away to away from cells pc tvs and all the other gagets of the world. There I get back to nature and re charge. the cottage is set in a glade quiet shaded with just a hint of sun in the afternoon very pleasant. I walk down to a seclude spot on the lake for sun bathing and swimming . Never do I worry about a swim suit and seldom a towel as the nearest neighbor is a good half mile away.
SO my days were of writing the old fashion way swimming and relaxing with the odd bottle of wine thrown in for good measure. Laying out on a large rock I heard the first part of my demise music no rap music while in the city it is fun out here it is just wrong. Then voices and to my horror a motorize canoe with that dreadful whining engine. I thought I could hear voices too but tht must have been my imagination. It weas late in the day the sun was dipping low must have been around 7 pm when I decided to finish up my wine and head back to the cottage. The noise had stopped abruptly about an hour ago perhaps some kids up for the day sort of thing, I hoped anyway. Well the wine and the sun had taken its toll and I really started back just as it was going into night not a wise move I knew my way but vision was not he best. It took longer than usual so when I enter teh glade I was surprised to see a car there thinking i might have take a wrong turn I stood looking to see some thing familiar in this light that was not easy. That is when I heard a voice say"well I thought all the bares wre gone from this area" a female voice with an accent of some sort. I tried to cover up but an empty boodle of wine does not make for much camouflage. Sorry i said I think I must have taken a wrong turn is this your cabin ? No sugar it is yours but we thought we would visit with our neighbors. My name is Alicia , I rented the cabin up the hill. Oh you can take that bottle away I saw everything as you sunned your self so I know that bottle is just magnifying what is not there.

I was insulted by that remark and was goingto give her a tongue lashing when a mans voice chimed in he has no valuables but he does have a nice ass. Spinning around to face this voice I saw a large black man tall and heavier than me . I held back from delivering my verbal attack when I saw the knife in his hand. Alicia passed to my right slapping my oh so naked ass saying what happen cat got your tongue. We are going to be staying in the area so out here we need a second car. We are borrowing yours. take the car I said . Alicia said we also did not come fully equipped so we are also borrowing a few things if you don't mind and since it is a four hour walk into town and all we did not think you would mind.

I stood there with my bottle in hand and watched them drive off , Alicia hung out the window shouting rest up we will be back to visit soon. I entered the cottage to see what damage they had caused. Remarkable very little the food and wine were all there my shock was when I entered the bedroom all my clothes were gone including socks and underwear towels and blankets anything I could use to cover my self . My shoes were all gone also which made walking into town almost impossible. The milk man and baker were my only hope as there was a delivery every three days so I would just have to make the best of it till then.
