Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Kat, did you put order in thing sbefore cleaning up? Could it be that the book went into where of one of the things you put back in their places went?

Nilly, I could have, but didn't. I need a housewife and a librarian to help me manage the books. Even after last summer's book purge extrarodinaire, I'm still runnin gout of book space. Tis irksome.

What is even happening?

Leading to a number of "unintentional" weddings back in the '70s when some Jewish kids at a carnival used plastic rings on their girlfriends and uttered the traditional formula.

You aren't talking the talk of the unintentionally married, are you?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Congratulations, CV!

I don't understand this. How can anything other than wearing the ring as an agreement to marry make it an engagement ring?

When one of the most powerful companies in the world makes it their business to tell women what is and isn't appropriate. Fucking DeBeers and their diamond solitaire marketing bullshit.

There were several urban legends going around about this, usually between two kids in the same age-group in "Bnei Akiva", that had to have a proper divorce later. I have no idea if it's really for real or not.

I thought it was real, but now I'm going to have to find out for sure.

You aren't talking the talk of the unintentionally married, are you?

Well I'd have been below the age of consent back then, but I know I proposed to my kindergarden girlfriend. It didn't last.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't want to go to work today.

Not getting out of my jammies would be nice too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I seem to have been given a $250 equivalent gift certificate at work. Collaboration & Team Work, they say. Likely story.

Congratulations CV!

I seem to have made an effort to get in to work nearly on time today, and then finished everything I knew to do by 10:30. Please tell me this doesn't mean I need to clean my office!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Please tell me this doesn't mean I need to clean my office!

God, I hope not.

I welcome a crisis with our client's payroll system, if it gets me out of having to clean my office.
