Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Delurking in this thread with my first drabble....

The woman told me to tie the knots tightly, holding my wishes in my mind as I formed each one. The string would fall off my wrist, and when it did, the things I sought would find me.

That was a month ago. The knots at my hand have grown dirty, started to smell of chlorine and cigarette smoke. They are brownish-gray, but tightly knotted as ever. It’s time to cut them off, before they sink right into my skin.

I reach for the scissors, and the string catches and pulls on the handle of the drawer. It pops, and my wrist is free. As I rub it, I sit, and I wait.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Frou Frou, Christopher Pike, and a good writer?

What is this based on? I assume it's an actual practice, but I haven't heard of it. I like how the string accidentally comes off. It actually sounds like the basis for a great story.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Deb, I can beta today.

I remember new age-y shops used to sell these bracelets with certain intentions: money, love, etc., that you'd tie on, and you'd get it when it fell off. But last year during playoff season, I read an article saying to tie a yellow string in 3 knots while repeating some phrase to dispel the Curse of The Bambino so the Sox would win the series. Not that I did it, or anything.

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

(poking head in briefly)

Dear beta readers: OK. I am down to the last couple of pages; we're at the circus and major major shit is about to start. Shall I send what I have, or wait?

The status is NOT quo.

Deb, wait as far as I'm concerned. I won't be able to beta for you until tonight anyway, alas, so I'd rather see the whole thing.

I'm with Kristin. Especially cause if you go ahead and finish it, I get to not open my response to you with cursing.

Gronk gronk gronk.

Clowns?

DONE. Sent to Dana, Bev, sj, Ginger, P-C and Kristin at profile addys.

I go clean house now. I didn't even spellcheck or reread a word of the last section. As a whole, the story may suck. But I don't think it does.

Surprise ending, BTW. Twisty.
