She comes to my table at sunset, pours one glass of wine, another of water. Offering neither she looks at my beer; "Iris." I notice her boot, which is wet, "Step in a puddle?" "It's part of my nature." and absently fingers the brooch on her jacket, "Looks old?" I signal a refill, she sips from each glass. "It's a feather, bordered by lillies, had it forever." "That pendant?" "Caduceus." "Ah, you're a Postie." I empty my glass as the refill arrives. "In a way." She sips, same as last time. "Why d'you do that, the thing with the glasses?" "Dilution... dissappointment's the daughter of excess." I splutter, gawp back with suds on my nose, as she asks, "Are you ready?" "For what?" "Depends who you are." |

I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS. *beaming atchoo* Thank you showing us a whole nudder approach to this, and I am seriously hoping your example opens some creative doors for those who felt stymied by what I meant to be an easy and fun foray--and oh, you GO, Pete! ""Dilution... dissappointment's the daughter of excess."" Thank you sooooo much--I was really hoping for something like this! Can I possibly get any more exuberant? Oh yeah, I can. But I'll spare ya.  *thank you* |

I'm a sucker for a story. Love this Got any good bedtime stories? I could use a few to help me fall asleep. If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |
