Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow. I like both of those a lot.

Coding and Sleeping

Three more chapters to review and I'll start submitting Cog, finally. Just gotta take some deep breaths and get ready for the rejections.

I stand up slowly, knowing what my knees are about--

crack

I turn quickly, without bracing my feet proper--

thunk

Hubby jerks his neck sharply, intentionally

CRACK

He freezes, his eyes big. I barely keep myself from reaching for the phone and 911, wondering how I'm going to make room through the living room for the ambulance gurney.

He sighs and smiles, some of the pain lines easing. "Finally that's back in place," he says. He grins at my worry and shifts his shoulder.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

eeee ... that made me laugh and wince, pretty much equally

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I think it's ironic I've got nothing for this one...maybe it's my subconscious' way of proving that Crime Girl has layers.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Not a drabble, and not related to the prompt, but:

CSI: 1502

"Brother Brown, have finished the sketch of what Sister Brady deduced the murder looked like?"

"Aye, Brother Russel."

"Make now another sketch, of the right cheek only, showing the mole upon it in the most minute detail."

And I think the "zooming in" makes as much sense in my version as in the contemporary CSI.

Because books.

Crack

Mum always said her hearing was brilliant to make up for her shabby sight. An arm’s length away and everything went blurry, but she didn’t need to see far to do the mending and the ironing and get Miss Olivia dressed for the day.

She didn’t need to see to know what the young master was up to with Margaret, either. He always left the door open a crack, and if she slid to the floor beside it and closed her eyes, she could hear every grunt, every giggle, every smack of flesh. Cheap thrill or not, she’d take it.

not your mom's socks.

That's so vivid, Amy.

Go Gud, Go!
