I’m finally able to sit down and read these in order, and by God if this isn’t the funniest thing I’ve read in a solid week:

“Jesus — look at this!” She stabbed her finger at the bed. “That quilt cover’s silk. You know how to get bloodstains out of silk? You been reading Hints from Fucking Heloise, Marco?”

“Hooked on hooks worked for me!” Hee. I loved Leather’s rant… very nearly as good as Spider Jerusalem at his best/worst.

If it helps, I’m really really really looking forward to the next one. Good work, and thanks!

Thank you. :)

The last line also reflects the difference between what was an (admittedly long) short story being broken up by scene for serialization here, and an actual post in a serial. I was going for dramatic tension and resolution in each scene before. Now I’m going for that plus a hook for the reader to read the next scene.

This is “writing for the Web.” I’m your host, Billy T. Geigercounter. Goodnight.

Man, I would say something about how this was able to actually get the blood flowing and such, but everyone else has already said that.

Now I feel unoriginal.

But that last line? That’s a hell of a last line.

Seconded. That really got the pulse up.

When writing actually raises my heart rate, something had to have gone horribly right.
