"April, hey weare just pulling into the parking lot now. Meet us there, we have totalk and I need the biggest favor from you. Good I knew I could coun...on you, see you in a sec."Bailey's eyes grew wide and his plump lips fell open. "Oh no.. Aprilknows me." Go ahead and hop in the back seat so April can get in here and I canfill her in. Just let me do the talking and everything will be fineBailey," Amanda said as she saw April in the distance. Bailey quicklydid as she asked, scared he was going. For someone who was claiming to be fine she sure was acting like a lunatic. He sighed, dropping down on her bed on his back to look up at the cieling, a hand sliding under her pillow to rest beneath his head. Something cold hit his fingertips. That was strange. He sat up, twisting and lifting the pillow… a bloody razor blade lay beneath Madi’s pillow. He rose quickly, carefully wrapping hist fist around it and moving back to the bathroom. She had promised them all after Karl, he remembered it. She stopped momentarily and whispered in my ear, “I heard you got poked in the butt hole. You liked it huh?” She laughed. “What?!” Somehow I wasn’t surprised to hear her say that but I had to be embarrassed. Shrugging my shoulders I gave her a sheepish grin not knowing if she was teasing me or not. She made a gesture with her hands as she passed by on her way back to the stove using one middle finger and the other hand forming, with her thumb and index finger, like a hole. She was pushing her. This, of course, gave Elrod great amusement. The joke got a few laughs, even from Morpheus.Then Elrod noticed some strangeness occurring. Carrie Gore pulled her website, saying that she didn't have enough time to maintain it. Having run web sites, Elrod understood how much care and feeding a web site took.Then Carrie published a short story. It was a truly excellent story, not to take away from her earlier work. But there was something... unusual about the story. It had a familiar ring to.
