Doug’s Dilemma

Doug’s Dilemma

Doug dimly dreamed of a delicious delicacy derived from Danish dairy desserts. At dawn, debt-diminished dollars denied Doug’s delight. In despair, Doug deduced that diabolic deeds be drafted. Doug deliberated, deciding to dodge drink and develop dangerous designs.

Doug decided on a dashing deceit, whereby demonstrating a drunken, deplorable, and decrepit demeanor, he dawdled into a drugstore, then demanded the druggist dispense dollars or a device Doug designed would detonate dynamite.

The Druggist didn’t dawdle and determined Doug was a dimwitted doofus, and his dubious, dodgy deception was deplorable. He decided to deter Doug’s demand by deliberately displaying a derringer and dagger directly toward Doug and daring him to do it. 

Doug was dumbfounded and disgusted. Detecting determination in the druggist’s demeanor, Doug decided to demonstrate dour discipline and deliberately depart in disgrace.

Doug’s departure into disrepute dictated doing deeds differently. 

Dutifully drawing a diagram of dynamic discoveries that determined definitive yet dubious diamonds, Doug decreed on X (formerly Twitter) delivery dependent on dollars deposited. Doug dispatched the document diligently without delay.

Unfortunately, a Deputy detective detected Doug’s deceit and determined Doug deserved detention, dealing Doug a disastrous defeat, and Doug’s destiny was dutifully defunct.

Moral: Don’t dabble in dishonesty to devour a doughnut.

 

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
