Story

“Oh, come on. It’ll be funny.” Judy smiled at her husband, Zach. “Besides we’re in a lull right now while they set up the next set of shots. She gestured as wranglers moved two ginger llamas and an anaconda across the set.

“If this gets back to the studio, we’ll have to put pedal to the metal to keep from getting sued.

“You’re being too dramatic, Zach. This studio is too stingy to spring for the lawyers. Besides, what could go wrong?”

“Wish is how all our movies get started. What do you want me to do?”

A moment later, they ducked behind a set of barrels with a remote control. Judy started to wring her hands in maniacal glee. Zach tried not to be too worried about her sudden Evil Genius mode. “Do you want to drive?”

“Gimme.” She snatched the remote.

The stunt buggy on the other side of the set suddenly roared to life and ran around in donut circles. The cries of ghost car and other more adult language sent Judy into fits of laughter. Zach pulled the remote out of her hands, dumped it on the barrels, and dragged her away before the angry crew came afer them.
