With my newly lengthened nails, I had to be careful to not put a run inmy knee-high hose. Once I had my pumps on, I opened my jewelry drawer,and looke... through everything I had bought in the last month. I settledon my silver heart pendant necklace and the matching earrings. One morecheck of my hair and make-up (I was becoming so conceited!) and I was onmy way to work.I was sure it was my imagination, but it seemed as if everyone stared atme as I walked into the office. Sarah was the first to. She'll do it as a favour to me. " Turning to me she said "work wearlaundry out back, should put a nice fray on those for us, now lets get to work Ionly have one hour" What's in the bag" she asked."Hose, stay-ups. That's how this all started. Mine had a run and I went into VSto get a replacement" With nails like that it's no wonder you had a run" she added.Looking at the hose I had on she seemed pleased that in was only a small rundown on the foot. "Just like a slut to go for seams" she. Swim in your pants and you go home naked.” Suddenly there was another voice in his head and other eyes looking through his, just long enough to whisper a name. His pants were off and he was in the water before the word had passed his lips.“Mari?” he whispered as he swam out to meet her. She laughed again and rolled to swim away under water. She came up again behind him. How could a ghost from two hundred years ago take this form? She seemed not to have stopped laughing the whole time. “It can’t. It's very annoying.Sigh.Anyway. Once again, I found myself getting snowed upon in a parking lot in front of an empty dorm without those last few gifts. I, also, lacked a clue where to look for something to give someone who already had enough University sweatshirts. Just before turning over the ignition, I remembered the small chocolate shop across from campus next to the little cafe where I did much of my studying.Guessing that a few boxes of chocolate would solve the problem, I made the short.
