Her husband finished off his coffee and gave a nod as he got up. "Have a pleasant trip", he said. "If you decided to stay longer just give me a ring w...th you new flight plans and give my regards to Heather". With that his wife walked towards her flight gate, there was no kissing or hugging, that sort of intimacy hadn't been associated with his marriage for decades. He waited till she turned the corner and disappeared. He gave a shrug and headed off towards the car park for the trip. Then they started the process of giving me a Perm, withall the smells and curling involved. I loved it. My mother loved seeingme curled in a million perm rods, and after the perm process wascompleted my hair was rolled again in curlers to create the chosen styleI was to have and I was placed in the Mani/Pedi throne and thefrightening dryer was lowered by my mother over my head and the heat hitme full blast as my new curls were baked in. While the dryer was doingit's thing, two nail technicians. "You will have to do better than that, old man." Gnar's pug look turns to awe as the green glob takes a serpents shape. Clutching the Amulet, Gnar yells out his wish. "I wish that..." The serpents tail, knocks Gnar across the chamber, shattering his armor. Battered and bleeding, barely able to Maintain consciousness, Gnar yells as best as he can, "I wish...that I... had... the power... to... stop you!"The serpents' teeth lay ready to shred their next meal. Suddenly, a white light flashed from. I was reaching to pull my belt off when I heard, "Freeze! Police!"The one with the knife started to take a step towards me and again I heard, "Freeze! Or I'll shoot!"I stood still. The knife guy stopped and turned to see a Santa Fe policeman with his gun drawn. Two more officers ran up. The guy with the knife dropped it. The one I had thrown across my body started to run away and was tackled by one of the other officers.By the time the officers sorted out the situation and took statements from.
