Saturday's Storyteller: "Nikolai did it."
by Belinda Roddie
"Nikolai did it."
"Who?"
Anton rolled his eyes. "Nikolai," he repeated. "You know how he is. Always getting into trouble."
"I didn't do anything!" Nikolai screeched from the other room.
"Sounds like something a guilty person would say!" retorted Anton.
"Anton," their mother said, "you realize you are accusing your own brother of shooting the neighbor's dog."
"Oh. I thought we were talking about the missing cookies."
His mother raised an eyebrow. "Who said they were missing?"
"Nikolai did it!" shrieked Anton as he ran outside and into the snow.
This week's prompt was provided by myself, Arden Kilzer, and Bethany Kilzer, conceived during a walk on Christmas Day last year.
