MM, that's some serious creep factor in that one.
Congrats, Amy!
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

For Bev, who wanted more of the story:
Exodus
Her backpack rested on the seat beside her, claiming the space from possible interlopers. Unlikely, as the bus had dropped off what seemed to be a horde of itinerant workers chattering away in Spanish in Bakersfield. There were a few passengers left, none who had started as far east as she. At every stop she'd watched the ones who got off, most embraced by smiling families and friends. Not always, though. Some left slump-shouldered and shuffling; the ends of their lines a solitary exodus.
Hers wouldn't be one. She hugged the paper-wrapped cookie jar against her rounded belly, her family.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thank you, Sail! Nice. I love the formatting. You can write a whole novel this way. Like a scrapbook of snapshots. Lovely.

Very nice, Sail!

If anyone has time to beta the first few chapters of a mystery, I'd appreciate it.

"Ow, fuck, what the--"
"Honey?"
"I’m over here."
"Okay, great. Man, it’s dark, I can’t see a thing."
"Look, just stand still and I will come over--damnit!"
"What?"
"Nothing, just this fucking coffee table."
"Ooh, I hate that. Look, just move really slowly."
"Nah, I thought I’d sprint. Oh, motherfu--"
"What?"
"Nothing, just going to die. A roller skate? When did we even get roller skates?"
"Baby, I haven’t owned roller skates since 1985."
"Well, something’s on--damnit!"
"Honey?"
"Look, I’m just going to stop moving, all right?"
"All right. Here, I think I have…ohh, the lights!"
"Jesus wept."
