Logio.. Gollum... LOL haha love it.
When my oldest was only 3 she had the knack of sesquipedalianism down to a fine art, using words like smissnatios (pistachios) and Idonknowdady. The older she got the more she regressed into words like "uhu" and "totally". LOL

As the seagull flew away with the golf ball in its mouth it felt the purchase it had on the strange round thing was fragile and could feel it slipping from its mouth.

She, an elegant cat of the most sophisticated poise, had purchase me, the meekest country mouse.

Okay, new rule: if nobody posts within a week, the person who sent the last word may post twice in a row.
That being said:
Report n. (secondary meaning) the sound of a gun firing);
"they heard a violent report followed by silence" ...
When she heard the report of the gun's firing, she became hysterical - for she knew - as in her most feared nightmare - that her ex-husband Larry, the psychotic serial killer, had entered the house!
She frantically attempted to load her own gun, but lost purchase of it and it fell down the stairs with dull thumps that competed with the beats of her terror-stricken heart.

The report of the gun's fire was so loud that it echoed across the wintry night sky,
reaching the single pane windows of the neighbor's house.
The neighbor was so alarmed by the foreign sound, that they reported it to the police.

Good job, my dear!
Polly, have you ever thought about writing? I think this thread may get you addicted to it. Another good writer here is Lorri....like yours, her writing makes me want to keep reading...which means it is good writing. In fact you should use this as opening sentence to begin writing your novel...it sounds like a mystery! take your time, make is yours.
Nathan
Oh Nathan dear, you are far too kind!
I fear I would not make a very good writer - for my grammatical skills are indeed lacking; commas, semi colons, etc - tend to make my brain short circuit .... but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compliment!
Yes, I do enjoy this thread - because is it very challenging and it certainly stirs the gray soup inside my head!
In Loving Memory.
