Re: Ah, so, the spot chickens ...
''Ms.'' then; I stand corrected. (Although I always recall in such cases the [allegedly true] story of a young woman who wasn't quite clear on the concept; she asked, ''OK, she's a Ms., but is she a Miss Ms. or a Mrs. Ms.?'' :D ) I thought TW would catch the killer(s) too, but in a way the plot twist is more interesting to me, and sets one up for ...

What an ending! Two ears up -- way up! ()() If you'll re-enter ''Gerbella's poem'' in my Poetry Olympics' Light Verse Freestyle, it will be a worthy addition (one that definitely will put you in the running for the Sela Memorial Prize for Literature, to be awarded at the end of the Olympics). See you next year, God willing... wr ()()

Ah, so, the clot thickens! :)

Re: p.s., who do you think ...
Indeed: many twins, one pair of which were serial murderers according to a rhyme scheme, all at the same convention. This much islandtime has revealed to us. But their names seem as irrelevant to the plot line as the name of the rich man is to the parable of Lazarus and the rich man (and maybe for the same dramatic reason: ''the name of the ...

Re: The Rhyme Scheme Killer, chap. 29
Lunesta:killer twins! Fabulous. Well, i.t., today's the day -- will you reveal ALL? Thanks again for this ongoing treat, ''L.'' p.s. quite true, your last line there. Indeed, no one in this country (and England, among others) has the luxury, or the expectation, of privacy anymore. Sad to say and a bit frightening, too. Yes. I once pointed out ...

Not all of us can avoid being sterotypical, else there would be no sterotypes. (grin) At this point, if the woman stood out (as if her interesting drink didn't make her do so enough), she would draw attention to herself as a possible pivot of the story line. Maybe her mere ordinariness is exactly the point. Let's just see what happens... Your ...

waltz and capsize:I'm as agitated as an emo community college drop-out with a folded up poem, wrote just this afternoon, about being pushed out the window of her seventh storey love, the debris of my corpse spangling the sidewalk, my mouth taped over with a black vinyl X sealing in my screams like an epidural hemotoma swelling in my skull on open ...
