Outlaw

Posted on December 9, 2015January 15, 2016 by Amy Bee

I duck into the nearest bar. Have to lay low and sing small for a while. But a Karaoke fight breaks out. In the confusion, the DJ passes the microphone to me.

“……but I did not shoot the Deputy…..”

Damn. Cover blown.

I hate it when a Karoke fight breaks out when I’m trying to lie low. Why can’t they do it when I’m there for some fun?

Love your humor. I have a clear picture of that Karaoke fight…swinging saloon doors, flying bottles and all.
