“You may be right,” Leyna sighed, as she placed the bowls in the cupboard. “You always are.” Somehow, the words weren’t hers.
Russell shrugged. “I’m just saying, no sister of mine is gonna sit at home every weekend.” It’s the thought that counts.
Leyna pushed her black hair away from her face. She had cut it short years ago, for some reason. She’d said something about it being easier to manage. That was a joke.
“You ever consider the possibility that I’m crazy?” she teased her brother.
“Plenty of times; come to tomorrow night, please?” He begged.
“I have to check with Richie,” Leyna nodded. “We might be doing something.”
Russell filled his cheeks with air and let it out slowly. “Fine, call me and let me know.”

There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like life, particularly a good one, which is well worth staying up all night to finish. —Lemony Snicket

As it were, summer is drawing to a close…This year, I am undertaking an internet radio station. Yes, I know.
So, if I’m not on Ficlets as much as I used to be, deal with it.
Most of my Ficlets are inspired by books, Billy Joel, or Jack Johnson songs.
So, if you’ve read Adverbs by Daniel Handler, then you know that each chapter is titled with a different adverb, and contains the same character names although, each story is essentially separate. The characters often repeat a phrase in another story or they mention a character that was in the previous story. That is what I’m going to do with the “Goode Callen” story, but mine will be titled with verbs. It starts with my entry in a challenge: http://ficlets.com/stories/39031
“I was born in ‘49, a Cold War kid in McCarthy times. Stop ‘em at the 38th parallel, blow those yellow reds to hell. Cold War kids were hard to kill under their desks in an air raid drill. Haven’t they heard we’ve won the war, what do they keep on fighting for?”—“Leningrad”, Billy Joel (Part of the Billy Joel Posse with T. F. Torrey, pens&feathers, and BARomero.)
