VIEWPOINT
by John Yeo
Officer Tom was puzzled at the disappearance of the owner of the cycle.
“Look!” said Mary Jones, “It must belong to some one. It’s been leaning up against that lamp-post for days! I think someone got off, climbed the wooden stairs, then just disappeared.”
“Hmm!” Police Constable Jones proceeded to write something in his notebook, then he asked, “Where do the stairs lead?”
“Up to the roof,!” replied Mary. “Why would anyone want to climb up to my roof?”
“Ah! I had better take a look on that roof.”
Soon an ambulance and a police car arrived. Two paramedics carried a figure on a stretcher down the stairs to the ambulance and he was taken to hospital followed by the police car.
Officer Tom then congratulated Mary.
“Madame, you have just saved the life of a peeping Tom. He had a serious fall on the rooftops a few days ago and was unable to move following a broken leg. He had some very expensive telescopes, and an amazing assortment of women’s underwear up there.

LOL! She saved the life of a peeping Tom! I’m not sure I would be very excited over that. Haha! At least he got caught red handed with ladies underwear!
Justice comes in many strange ways PJ~ Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed this. 🙂
XD is it wrong to feel happy that he broke his leg?
Loved it.
Thanks Chioma ~ I’m so glad you enjoyed this ~ 🙂
This is funny and interesting! LOL! 😀
That old bike may have saved his life! He could still be on the roof if it had not been for Officer Tom checking things out when Mary questioned where the owner was. Punishment for his behavior is better than his death. Great story. 🙂
Very true Jessie! ~ The punishment should be meted out and he should be there to endure it ~ Thanks for reading and responding ~ 🙂
Still laughing. 🙂
Glad to bring joy to your world at this time of the year. YS 🙂
Seasons greetings.
Have an enjoyable Christmas YS 🙂
Well written, John! I must say, I wasn’t expecting a peeping Tom, so that made me laugh. I like the way the dialogue plays out between Officer Tom and Mary Jones – very funny little story, all round. 🙂
Thanks Millie~ Lovely to hear from you again. I’m glad you enjoyed the write 🙂
You’re welcome, John. I enjoyed reading your story. I haven’t been doing writing challenges for a couple of months, but I thought I’d pop back for this one. Hope you are both keeping well and have a lovely Christmas! 🙂
Happy Christmas Millie with a very creative New Year 2016~
I hope you have another creative year, too, John. You’ve been very active all this year in so many challenges, and I’m sure you’ll continue that into 2016. It’s all fun and such a social thing. Keep well. 🙂
I hope his leg heals in such a way that he won’t be able to climb on roofs to peep anymore. Good story, John. 🙂
