Comments on 'Velvet's Story'"Alright," she said getting comfortable, "It's not like this is my profession or anything you know...It just happens."

"What happened?" He asked.
"Well, I was on my way back to New York, you see...from a gig in Las Vegas. I had this job lined up, and I hate flying, so I decided to drive. So, I drove...a lot. About the time I got far into the desert enough, the car starts acting funny. I have no idea about cars...Anyway, about nightfall the car dies, I mean _really_ dies. I thought I was done for. But then this car comes, says they'll take me to a motel, pick my car up in the morning. Of course, I was dumb enough to believe them."
"They...as in?" He questioned.

In fact, I’ve heard a lot of stories in my time. They went along with the sound of a tinny piano in the parlor downstairs. “Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid,” they always began.</em><br />.<br />This segment just made me think of that line from <em>Casablanca.</em> But I definitely love the chemistry and the interplay between Paul and Velvet in this series.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30021?basename=613502008-05-10T05:45:43ZBARomerohttp://ficlets.com/authors/baromero
