Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Oops. The laptop likes double posts better than the old desktop did.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Which editor we talking about, here, dude?

I don't even know what a "DG post" is. Damn Good? Double Gelato? Donnie's Gecko?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Under the wire Shadow drabble:

Shadow in the Blood

There’s nothing there.

I don’t believe it the third time I tell myself any more than the first.

No matter how quickly I turn I won’t see her. She’s there, all the same.

Washed in the blood of the lamb, I am. Still, she stalks me.

I gave it up. Turkey so cold it may never thaw. The coke. The booze. The men. The women. I replaced them with Bible studies every week, church twice on Sundays and AA every other goddam night.

And still she’s there. Waiting.

She’s the shadow in my blood. My ancestral legacy. My paternal curse.

I like that, Astarte. It gives me shivers.

Thanks, Sail. I like the metaphor muchly.

Also, I confess to changing one word in edit. I substituted "see" for "catch" in the original. I think the original word choice was a bit clumsy.

Wonder who she is?
