_________________________________________________
Story # 1
Starving Artist
“Megan stared at the stain, horrified.” Shannon recited the line in a phony Swedish accent, folded the script into airplane shape, and flew it at Trent. He ducked.
“Cannard really has lost it this time. I’m supposed to get into this charade, this sham, this travesty he calls a tragedy? Well, I have a flash for Mister C. playwright: I’m not doing it.”
“You’ll do it.” Trent sailed the craft back to her.
Story # 2
Kabbages and Klenes
Megan stared at the stain, horrified. “They know.”
“Only the Klene-klenes, though: oh, I pray, only the Klene-klenes.”
“What if…?
“Don’t even think it.” A shudder passed over Louis.
“Any chance we could Turpolize it?”
“I already checked the bottle. Not a single drop of Turpoline.”
“You know what that means.”
“We have only one other option.”
“Right. We’ll have to Kabbage.”

And...I'll be honest...I have no idea what the second one means. It feels kinda sci-fi-ish? Am I right?
What a growing talent you have. It is lovely to see your work in many different genres.
These two I find highly amusing and think they are clever!
