I think that is the best one, ita. Not that I sit around and grade these when I read them... ION, I am a research machine today. And the woman at the desk at Phoenix Homicide was charmed by my Simon reference...seperated at birth, I'm telling you. Their phones still sound too much like mine, though. :) Research calls go well when I let my Pembleton out. Not quite like "Please don't be an idiot..." more like "Of course I know what I'm doing...and lucky you, you get to help." So, yeah, going against my first instinct.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Oh wow, Victor. I think I know her. Masterfully done.
Gracias. It's all part of ... something. Don't know what yet.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Allyson, what is that from? Did I miss it earlier in the thread?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's from erika's story.

Guilty as charged, Allyson.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I cannot think of a single "fateful" encounter with a person that I recognized at the time, nor one I remember so clearly that I can describe it later.
Jeez, really? I assume every encounter I have is potentially fateful, at the very least heavily impactive, and then I weed them out later.
I love my memories. I keep them polished and shining and very very sharp. They make me happy, or miserable, but they never bore me and they never let me go hungry.

More of a longer, prose-poem fusion thing. I'm putting out a new chapbook in January or so, tentatively called "InBetween Days," and whatever the final product is will end up there.
