Got Some Cents Knocked Into Her
In which Mike gets to play with another three words.
I was getting ready to pull up another three word writing prompt and or some reason the first thing that came to mind was the list of three words we have patients remember when we give the mini mental exam. Hint: remember them in case you might be asked again someday - hint, hint, wink, wink.
Apple
Penny
Table
An area woman is nearly killed when a rogue penny bursts through her window and beans her on the noggin.
Maud Frantz was found unconscious in her kitchen yesterday, face down in a pool of blood. Sergeant O'Hara describes the scene.
"When we arrived at Ms Frantz' home yesterday, we found her unconscious. Her neighbor, Susan Anthony, discovered her when she went over for their morning coffee date and called 911 at once. EMTs reported that she was unconscious, but had good vital signs. They transported her to a nearby hospital. Ms Anthony told us that she entered the house. She had knocked, but no one answered. She let herself in since the door was unlocked and that's when she found her friend unconscious near the kitchen table. A preliminary inspection by officials revealed broken glass on the floor where some sort of projectile broke through the window and apparently struck the victim in the head. A penny was found lodged in her skull. There were no signs of foul play."
Doctor Smith, the attending physician at the emergency room, told us that Ms Frantz was in stable condition, conscious and showed signs of concussion. She is expected to make a full recovery. Neighbors reported that the local hoodlum, Tommy Zelinski, was seen shooting something with his slingshot at houses and throwing apples at the dogs and cats in the area. He is a known trouble maker and has been in juvenile detention on a number of occasions. One neighbor tells us he's just a no good kid and should be put away for life. The police refused to comment on this.
