Comments? Readers? 2500 words. Genre... slice of life, I guess.

----

There are days when I hate my job. Tuesday was one of those days. At least, I think it was Tuesday because we were in Waco. Time tends to run together on tour and events seem like they repeat themselves. Jules and I usually just say "the other day" when we're talking about anything further than five minutes in the past.

So the other day, I was working on the setup and saw five kids headed our way. Five. That's two more than I'd been expecting. I glanced over at my partner, but Jules was up to his elbows in electrical cables and no help. On purpose too, probably, he must have seen them coming and started stringing wire.

What was I supposed to do with the extra two?

Another short, eh?

Well, I suppose that my psyche can withstand another peek inside your mind. And if not, I'll just grab a new one off the shelf

Okay, you're evil.

I'm always game for your stories -- do you even need to ask? Just send them.

If you need another, I'm game. I still don't know what to do with even one kid. I'd suggest selling 'em. Send it my way and I will give it a look-see (that's the story, not the kids). -BA-

And it's off! Thanks for the offer to read.

Now I'm going to go work on my Hatrack Challenge submission.

I'm cheating. I'm using the Hook Attachment from my Hatrack-Utility belt, as a result, my hooks look better than my stories actually are.

My dear Mrs. Kowal,

Sounds like you have plenty of readers. Send me the next draft when you have it.

Mr. Fisher

Since more than one person asked after reading this--yes, I really am a professional puppeteer. No. I never met Missy-who's-going-to-die. But, if you're interested in a behind the scenes look at life on the road...
