What a great story. Thanks for posting it, Deb!
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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

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.

Wow, I'd love to write a caper like that.. One story at a time, though. Everytime that cell door dings, another Leonard gets his wings.(although mixed with Le Carre or somebody) EL does say he gets inspired by stuff in the paper all the time.

it's reassuring in a chaotic, "the world has not gone under to oppression" sort of way.

Gritty, deb, and hard to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
1. On the cheekbone, where the ring cut through. He had tried to patch it with clumsy hands and apologies.
2. Fingertips of the left hand - she swore she'd been holding the gun just like on TV.
3. Assorted, minor and deftly repaired. The group had both a training budget, and expert first aid.
4. Flesh wound, right arm. Not bad, considering it was her first time out, and the odds.
5. Lower abdomen, bikini cut. She'd never thought it possible to be scarred in the interests of life, not death. She'd never thought it could be so worth it.

I like that one, ita. Sort of like when they ask you at a doctor's office if you have any identifying marks, scars, tattoos, etc. A lot of history found there.
