Winter has come early this year Raphael thought to himself as he stared out his bedroom window, spying a lone bird shivering in its nest, tears formed in his eyes and he wondered who will take care of the chilled wren.

For 8 long hours, she sat there in her cubicle, watching the clock slowly advance toward quitting time, wishing she had worked through lunch so that she could leave now instead of wasting another hour warming her chair, in an empty office on the day after New Year's Day, a Friday that could have been better spent on a sofa in front of her TV.

Here's one I worked up a sweat to get just right:
It was one of those hot days in LA where the soles of your feet start to cook, making you think of greasy hamburgers and sizzling pork chops, with a side order of tater-tots drenched in mustard and ketchup, the flacid pickles on the side of the plate looking soggy as they lie drenched in their own special brand of liquid perspiration, so I decided to put my shoes back on as I headed toward Chrissie’s house for our dinner date.

I love 1940s private-eye mysteries. Here's a new one:
Only momentarily was I surprised as she came into my office wearing nothing but a negligee and a bracelet and, as she nimbly sat down in front of me and crossed her gams, I couldn’t help but notice that her bracelet consisted of 23 tiny designs embellished in silver beads of interlocking clasps consisting of lobster claws with tiny scintillant eyes that seemed to capture the dingy light from my one hanging light bulb, only to cast the light onto the four square walls of my closet-sized office into a coruscating show of iridescent colors as she breathily said, “Are you a private Dick?” Don |
