The story of a woman in a little blue house

An in-class exercise for HZ101 based on the following plot lines:

1.A woman goes deaf as a result of an explosion
2.She can no longer hear partner snoring
3.She is able to sleep, takes up recreational shooting


“Boomz!”

Nancy was up in her typical day, doing her household chores in her little blue house on top of the little blue hill when her husband was out for work, when a loud explosion occurred some distance away down at the foot of the hill. Apparently, a car bomb has gone off accidentally, which was supposed to be aiming at the big blue building some streets away where the big blue mayor lives, but the perpetrator was idiotic enough to park the car too far away to have any effect.

Instead, a shrapnel flew into the kitchen window where Nancy was cooking her pie for lunch and hit her ear, causing her to go deaf.

However, instead of mourning over her loss of hearing as others would do, she was actually quite delighted because being deaf meant that she would not have to stand her husband's snoring every night, which disrupts her well-needed rest after working around the house. With her new found rest, she still has excess energy after finishing her housework. Thus having nothing better to do, she took up recreational shooting to pass time on top of the little green hill at the opposite town.

And a few weeks later, while at the range, she aimed into a little green house in front of the little green hill and shot the car bomber with her Winchester.
