A line of dialogue is not clear enough if you need to explain how it’s said.
~ Elmore Leonard
How to please everybody
The surest way NOT to please everybody is to try to please everybody.
Except for you. You over there, shaking your head to yourself. What must I do to please you? Because I’ll do it. HEY, DON’T WALK AWAY!
Sigh. One MORE PERSON I’ll never please, I guess.
Zeno’s Werewolf
A very short story.
Zeno’s Werewolf
The moon is full at last, and I’m halfway to being a werewolf.
Now I’m half again there.
And again, halfway as close.
Too late. The moon’s no longer full.
