Granny was grumpy, so grumpy she did not even meet me at the door. Instead, she was sitting at her table knitting socks as I let myself in.
There were socks everywhere. Socks on the table, socks on the counters, socks hanging over the faucet knobs, socks on the stove, socks on the TV, on the door knob, covering her bed and the stairs to the attic.
I had to ask. "Granny! What are all these socks for?"
"I am giving them out for Halloween you dummy. What do you think?"
"Granny, kids do not want socks for Halloween, they want candy. What is wrong with you?"
"Good, then maybe they won't come around next year. I have always hated Halloween."
"What?! I thought you liked Halloween! You always made those cool costumes remember? Remember the time you knitted me that fabulous ostrich costume?"
"Yes indeed I do. That is exactly why I am so grumpy. I was cleaning out the attic and I found that stupid costume that cost me an entire month to knit."
"Oh I would love to see it again! Maybe my son will wear it."
"Too late. Where do you think I got all this yarn?"

This is the first time I ever used the most dangerous writing app. I had several false starts before I got the hang of it, but the story finally started to make sense with this one. Here's a screen shot so you can see I used the app:
I did clean it up a bit, I confess! But I did not change any words or meanings except to take out the final line I had written. I don't understand how to tell when you're done writing, and set my own timer so I could tell how much time I had left.
