Got it, Susan! I probably won't send comments till Tuesday, though, because I'll be computerless at the in-laws', and I have a pile of laundry and packing to do tonight. Okay?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Susan! Btw, I've not forgotten you. I'll have to email you re: freelance, but probably not until next week. I'm sorry, it's been crazy. I think we're going to still do something, but we'll at least pay you for what you've done up till now. And with that tidbit, I've got to try to sleep.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I haven't drabbled in a while, but everyone's written such depressing ones I felt I had to lighten the mood:
Being dead isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You always think your astral body will get the hell up as soon as it’s not needed, but no. I’m stuck here on the damn floor with a—is that a fork? Did she kill me with a fucking fork? Christ.
She’s calling the police now, I think. She should report a murder! That would be ironic. There’s no blood in her hair. God, she’s hot. Why are the pretty ones always insane? Oh, she’s coming back now and bending—hey! Hey! Don’t close the eyes! Shit. Now I can’t see.

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

"No way, honey. Not for a while yet."
He's not touching her. He's just looking at her, circling the bed. He's got every weapon, every advantage: she's naked, he's not. She's bound, he's free. Most of all, she agreed to this.
She wants to squirm, and there's no defense against those eyes of his. No squirming, she tells herself. He doesn't need an extra advantage.
"Let me up." She tries to bite back the words. It seems she can't. Damn it. Damn it.
"No." He circles the bed. "Not yet. I like you just where you are."

Two words: Colin. Firth.
Steph, it'll be interesting, seeing if I can match those up to whatever a given weekly theme is.
But I do like writing erotica of this kind. Tres amusant.
