Clocks

by

Mr. Voyeur's evening schedule ran like clockwork:

5:15-Arrive home.
5:25-Perform ablutions.
5:40-Stiff drink
5:45-Thumb and forefinger opens crack in blinds.
5:50-Stare at window of apartment 7 of building across street.
6:00-Await arrival of apartment's occupant, who loved to prance around naked whilst doing housework.
6:15-Lust after apartment's occupant.
7:00-Tidy up before arrival of Mrs. Voyeur.

However, an early arrival home one evening by Mrs. Voyeur, coupled with a knitting needle, assured that Mr. Voyeur would forever turn a blind eye to the proceedings in apartment 7 of the building across the street.

    Credit to Drew for this inspiration. His latest drabble used the phrase "blind cameras" and this whole drabble fell out of my brain as a result of that.

    Thanks, Drew. This Clocks series has really sparked my creativity of late. I've been so busy with work that I don't have much time nor much inspiration to write, and I have three series in the works, including Jake, and I can't get back to them. After work I just want to sit and vegetate lately. My age not only finally caught up with me but I think it ran me over and kept on driving!
