Yeah, Kristin! I get "English Journal" and will be eagerly looking for your piece, and probably blabbing "Look! I know her! Isn't that cool?!"
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

Hee! Erin, I'll let you know when it's going to be published. I imagine it won't be for several months. Of course, the essay itself is incredibly tragic and doesn't exactly show me in the best light...maybe you should say, "I know her! She's much cooler than this!"
Thank you everyone. And YAYAYAYAYAY to Susan! 100 pages!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Anyone want a plot?
Check this out. Honest to goodness true story.
I couldn't make this stuff up. People are genuinely weird.

Wow, deb. It's why such outrageous stories can be written, shit like that actually does happen.

I mean, does that little newspaper item lack one single damned element for the ultimate noir soap opera? A dom - married, no less, a bank account a Chagall, four bullets execution style....
Just, wow. If I wrote that kind of book, I'd be salivating, at least once I stopped laughing.

It begs Peter Sellers for the banker, or maybe, the husband. James Mason for the banker, if either of them were still around. And maybe a young Ursula Andress for the mistress/wife.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What a great story. Thanks for posting it, Deb!

A French financier, a dom named Cecile (good heavens), a Chagall...
I'm swooning. Damn, I wish I wrote that kind of mystery. Said it before, and I'll say it again, I couldn't come up with a plot like this one if I practiced for three weeks in a dark room first.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
For some reason, it makes me very, very happy that these sort of things do happen in real life.
