Blanche was known as
the crafty one of the family. Knitting, sewing, crafting, even darning—whatever needed a
hot-glue gun and a mind-full of
ideas, Blanche created masterpieces.
Her twin sister Jane
hated Blanche with a passion that cramped
and boiled inside her. Blanche ignored the raging anger consuming Jane.
After watching the suspense-filled movie “Whatever happened to Baby Jane”, Jane shoved Blanche down into the cellar filled with empty mason jars and spiders. "Oh, Blanche. You know we have rats in the cellar?" Jane whispered as the cellar door slammed shut.
This vignette is obviously not in the movie, but I thought it would use the Wednesday words supplied by Delores@myfeatherednest . Thanks, Delores, for providing challenging words with which to play!!

Bette and Joan were rivals their entire acting lives; I don't think they could have been friendly, ever.
DeleteDown in the cellar with the spiders and the rats....yikes.
ReplyDeleteI'm okay with spiders, but rats? Noooo.
DeleteSounds scary for Blanche. I would not want to be her in that moment!
ReplyDeleteBlanche suffered mightily.
DeleteJust bring forth a cat and bye bye rat
ReplyDeleteYour cats would enjoy a rat-infested cellar.
DeleteBetty and Joan sure knew how to bitch up a scene. Your vignette would have fit well into the movie.
ReplyDeleteTalented and powerful actors, both of them.
DeleteSounds like Jane got some revenge.
ReplyDeleteJane had anger issues.
DeleteI hope the rats played nice
ReplyDeleteOnly in the "Rats of NIMH" do the rats play nice.
DeleteIt's been so many years since I saw that movie, you could've told me you lifted that scene right out of it, and I would've believed you. It certainly would've fit. Great use of the words!
ReplyDeleteI popped over here from Delores' blog to see how you used her words. Nice to meetcha. Count me in as your newest follower.
Glad to meet you, Susan!
DeleteI'm with Susan, I would have believed the scene came right from the movie too! Very creative post. :)
ReplyDeleteI know that Jane locked Blanche in the basement and starved her nearly to death. Jane was a bitter woman.
DeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteFirstly, very sorry I haven't visited your site in awhile. I've been absolutely swamped on my site in regards to a certain contest I would never participate in. Oh the irony.
Your adaptation is better than the movie. So there you go.
A peaceful weekend to you, Susan.

Very enjoyable read, Susan, and well done...
ReplyDeleteBette Davis ... what an actress.
