Felix talks to Butch and Wawa. Butch and Wawa talk to Muck. Mom’s boyfriend suddenly disappears. The Delaware flows slow, dark, and smooth past the pier. Beneath the surface lies a graveyard city, of cars, barrels, and concrete blocks. Bobby |

James, No I don't. I don't believe in such things either. I've lived near the river for many years. This is only a part of a story, it's a complete fiction. Thanks for reading and commenting. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (03-24-2008 04:21 PM).] |

There are some people who need to go away by whatever path it takes to leave. Ida |

Ida, I think all of us have a list of people we would like to see go away. I've often wondered how many lists like that carry my name. Thanks for reading, and for your comment. I'm pleased this one worked for you. Bobby |

RDB, Yes Hon, that's the one. Of course Felix has no idea where he could have disappeared to. Bobby |

Yes, he is, and he's even more interesting now that I am reading "Marika". You made me cry last night as I was reading about her. She's a survivor too - I see qualities that Felix has (and yes, I have cried for him too). Alison |

Alison, Thanks for reading Marika. My girlfriend was a very good friend of Marika's. My girlfriend was angry at me for writing about Marika. They were very close friends. My girlfriend got over it, and she's not mad anymore. Bobby |
