Missed the title until after I'd posted. Editing now.

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

Your take on Baby Brother Butch is kinder than mine. I had him spree-killing Chris and Judy, his parents.

What? I write mysteries for a living, damn it.

I wanted to go much further with how far she'd gone from the rules of her childhood to where she was now, but I ran out of words.

I wonder if she's related to Jean, the girl leaving for San Francisco in 1967?

I was imagining her on the verge of divorce after years of being taught about the sanctity of marriage, yadda yadda. Obviously the drabble went elsewhere, persnickety little beastie.

Heh. Whereas my mind immediately saw all that dark sixties/seventies paneling and lace doilies spattered with blood.

Mystery writer? Me?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I think Jilli should do her Gashlycrumb version of all the photos in the drabble pile. The washerwoman, the high-kicking headkerchief lassies, the cigarette and cocktail girls, the fox and the hound among the pigeons...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

These drabbles have all been amazing this week. Damn, y'all.

And I keep meaning to say -- I just read a book of Ian Rankin short stories and one of them reminds me of some of ita's drabbles -- it's all internal and twisty.

I just might do that. It depends on how the work week goes, but I think I'd like to try that.
