It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 6.3.# (wip)
Teddy was about fifteen minutes into game and totally focused on beating the boss on a level he’d been stumped on for weeks when the door rang and several loud and rapid pounds crashed against his front door. “Teddy let us in, our hands are full of stuff,” yelled Lisa’s exhausted voice from the other end. “I know you’re probably just in there playing video games, get up,” she shouted once more just as the door was thrust open in front of her.
Teddy stared at the overloaded and unusually simple looking Lisa, and almost began to laugh. She was carry a covered casserole dish in her arms across her chest, with several paper bags in her right hand, and what looked like a jug of wine in the other. Under her right arm was a small box of napkins that were squished in. “Need any help there, Lisa?” asked Teddy smugly.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

Sounds like Teddy’s in for a party…
Is the story a paranormal/ general, short or long?
It’ll be a contemporary (novel) whenever I finish it.
I assume she kills him in the next paragraph? Or at least drops the jug of wine on his foot?
You might be on to something there, Squid.
