Let me in! let me in! LET ME IN!

You know what that brought to mind? The first time I stayed with Pete and Jilli, in the middle of a hellacious blizzard, and both cats were allowed to explore the back deck. The look on Trinian's face - "...the fuck is THIS crap...?!?" was memorable.
Escape
Billy had simple view of his job. He was burglar, with a well-known ability to get in and out of buildings. He had nothing against the detectives who arrested him, usually through the electronics and jewelry he spirited out of empty houses. They were, as he saw it, doing their jobs. At the county jail, they knew he stayed out of some odd commitment to the system. When the addition to the jail was finished, a detective who had developed a wary friendship with Billy asked him, as a favor, to test its security. He was out in 10 minutes.
For the Escape challenge:
The pain isn’t the worst she has ever felt. There has been far worse; it’s just a sharp twinge down her right leg that intensifies by the end of the day or if she moves the wrong way. What makes it different is that it is constant. The medicine her doctor gave her won’t ease, nor even lessen, this pain. Even sleep only brings brief moments of relief, in which it does not disappear, but her conscious mind is no longer aware of it. Sleep however is not a cure, and it is too frequently interrupted. There is no escape.
The drabbles continue to amaze.
ION, I just completed my first thousand words on my WIP after almost a year of ignoring it last night, and wow, it's pretty rough. I need to get my writing brain back in gear again. But at least I'm writing again. Here's hoping I can stick with it.
After 13 years of knocking this idea around in various forms, I finally have a structure, outline, and plan of attack for what I guess I can now refer to as my WIP.
Feels good.
I finished my paper! I have been told it is a good, strong paper and not bad for my first paper in..ever,
WHOOT!
Now I have to work on the other one that's due a week from Sunday.
