    Bobby A. Troutt

    I am southern writer who enjoys writing about the southern living I grew up in. I am divorced and work at a nearby college. I live about fifty miles north of Nashville, Tennessee in the town of Gallatin. I enjoy sharing my stories with the readers, which I hope find the stories appealing. I write mysteries, crime thrillers, and suspense. My books touch on various subjects dealing with today’s society of the yester years. I write short story collections with the hope of sharing a variety of my stories for the reader’s enjoyment. I want to be an effective writer with positive stories that bring the reader down to a good old country story with a lot to say.

      The Mad Scientist

      High up in the mountains above the Valley of the Bones lived a mad scientist named Winferd. He lived in a mansion called the Halls of Bell. In a room, covered with a glass dome, atop of the mansion was where the mad scientist’s laboratory was located. That’s where he did all of his crazy and off-the-wall experiments. His best friends were three ghosts named Herschel, Homer and Gomer and he had a stepsister, a witch named Gladious. The three ghosts were his assistants and Gladious was his lab partner. Every one of them loved to do experiments to see what they would come up with. Late at night, you could see them through the glass dome atop of the mansion doing their crazy experiments. Boos, screams, laughter and cries could be heard throughout the house. If Herschel booed four times, Homer booed five times and Gomer booed twice, there would be _______ boos. If Homer booed three more times, there would be a total of _______ boos. As the ghosts booed, Gladious screamed six times. There was a total of _______ boos and screams in all.

      Gladious had a pet black cat that sat near her brooms wiggling its tail. Gladious had a broom for each day of the week which meant she had _______ brooms. She only rode three brooms a week. That means she didn’t ride _______ brooms a week. Four times a week she took her cat on the ride with her. There were _______ days that the cat did not ride with her.

      Winferd had three blue bottles and four red bottles that he mixed together. He had _______ bottles in all. After he mixed the blue and red bottles together, he added three yellow bottles and two green bottles. He had a total of _______ bottles. After he mixed them altogether, he had a rainbow that shined throughout the lab. Herschel booed twice, Homer booed three times and Gomer just looked around smiling. There were _______ boos sounding throughout the laboratory. Gladious screamed three times as she flew over the rainbow not once but three times. She flew over the rainbow five more times and screamed each time. She flew over the rainbow _______ times and screamed _______ times. The rainbow started to disappear and Gomer became very sad. He was so sad, he screamed six times. When Herschel and Homer flew over to him and hugged him to cheer him up, he boo-hooed seven times and screamed four more times. Gomer screamed _______ times before he began to feel better.

      Winferd had eight cups of some white fluffy stuff, two cups of water and three cups of silver liquid. He mixed them together and made a cloud with a silver lining. He used _______ cups in all. As the cloud floated about the room, it suddenly changed. After the cloud turned dark and black, it began to rain. Winferd ran to the closet and got an umbrella for everyone. He had to get _______ umbrellas from the closet. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed from the cloud, not once but twice. Before it was over, seven more bolts of lightning flashed from the cloud. There were _______ bolts of lightning that flashed from the cloud. Once the rain finally stopped, the cloud floated out a window and disappeared in the darkness of night. Gladious and Winferd let out five hoorays and then three more. Herschel booed twice, Homer booed four times and Gomer just smiled as he stood there with water dripping off of him. He was soaked; his umbrella had a hole in it. Gladious and Homer hoorayed _______ times. There were _______ boos in all and there were _______ umbrellas without holes.

      Next, Winferd took a box of twelve dried teardrops, four drops of a touch of gray matter and six drops from a jar of liquid black. He mixed them in Gladious’s black kettle and boiled them. He used _______ drops in all. Gladious stirred the mixture ten times around and around to the right and then nine times around and around to the left. She stirred the mixture _______ times around and around in all. There were _______ more drops than stirs. As she stirred around and around, the pot began to boil. All at once, the room was filled with a heavy, thick, gray fog. It was so thick they couldn’t see. As the fog moved about the room, Herschel, Homer and Gomer flew quickly about. Herschel opened three windows and Homer opened two windows to help clear the air. Herschel opened _______ more windows than Homer. There were a total of _______ open windows. Slowly, the fog moved out of the windows and disappeared in the darkness of the night. Gomer opened three more windows as Gladious flew about the room, here and there. After Gomer opened the windows, he blew on the foghorn five times, then four more times. Gomer blew the foghorn _______ times. There were now a total of _______ windows open. If there were twelve windows in the laboratory, there were _______ windows still closed.

      As Gomer flew about the room booing and laughing, he hit his head not twice but four times. Each time he hit his head, it left a knot. He had _______ knots on his head. Herschel and Homer laughed at Gomer before they, too, began to fly about laughing and booing. Herschel hit his head not once but three times which caused him to have three knots on his head. Homer hit his head twice and he had two knots on his head. By that time, everyone was laughing. Altogether, they hit their heads _______ times. The ghostly trio had a total of _______ knots on their heads.

      As the night lingered on, Winferd did a little of this and that with Gladious’s help. Herschel, Homer and Gomer goofed off as they laughed and booed about. However, by morning, they were all wore out and ready to go to bed. As they left the lab that night, they each said their goodbyes and goodnights.
