Hey, Tep! New topic? I'm drawing a blank on sticks and stones, even with the extra day.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

I'm writing Firefly fic, but that part's not relevant to this thread. What is relevant is how wonderful it feels, the story rolling out, the dialogue in my ear, knowing I'm not going to forget what I'm doing because it's all there and I just have to chip it out of its surroundings . . .
I should go home, though, my Hubby is probably wondering where I am.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
An untopic-ed drabble.
to sleep, perchance
The dog sleeps under my desk, dreams of chasing squirrels. The boy plays trombone in the other room, sees lighted stages in his mind's eye. And I, I am dreaming too.
I am dreaming what it must feel like to not believe that security is a dream. I am dreaming of clean water and shelter from the rain. I am dreaming of sunlight streaming through windows and birdsong drifting through doors.
I know that dust and nails and anger and confusion must come first, but I know, I know, I know that soon will come that elusive thing called home.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Lovely, Liese.
And also? Mazel tov on the house.

Just happened across this, and I thought I'd post it here in case anyone might be interested - Washington Post fiction writing contest, 1,500 words or fewer telling a story about a picture. Seems to me you all have had practice with such things... [link]
