A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Thanks! It's crap generic beginning stuff, but feedback is ALWAYS useful.

So, Deb, re: that chunk of the novel I sent you. I'm assuming your current busyness has distracted you, and it's not a case of "My god, how do I tell her it sucks large donkey dong", that's kept you from responding.

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

Connie has superlative timing.

I say this because I have got rid of my writers group for the evening and just opened yours in another window.

Should have something for you shortly.

Then I'll peruse it in the morning, because I'm falling asleep at the keyboard. Night, all.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

one at a time

From the cessation of breath to the onset of rigor mortis.

Taking notice, panic, action. Fear, assurances, realization.

Phone calls to the husbands, to the mortuary, to the preacher. Reservations to make, arrangements with the graveyard in Hawaii. The relatives must be told.

The insurance, Medicare, the will. What to do with the property.

Guilt, lies told to bring comfort, voices to be heard. Words to be said.

But for now, after the cessation of breath, I must change her stained gown for a clean one, before it is too difficult. As her body cools, one degree at a time.

Whuf, Liese. So many things to be done at a time like that. I remember going with my mother to buy a new shirt for my father when he died.

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

Damn, Liese.
