A call you don't want to get
On my way to the gym after an 8 AM meeting, I got a call from the clinic. So you know you're screwed when the neurologist calls you 12 hours after your MRI. I only spoke to the nurse but she said you have severe arthritis in your spine (duh knew that) and L4-L5 is narrowing. I don't know if they mean the joint space or the vertebral foreman (stenosis) I'll find out the week of Thanksgiving. Fun times I also put in the paperwork to get my medical records sent to my orthopedic surgeon here.
Tom Payne has been teasing big news on the 5th. A lot of fans were already in semi-mourning (still holding out hope of Prodigal Son getting picked up and fearing he was announcing a new show). I told my friend Flippy I think it's a pregnancy announcement. She emails me today to let me know I nailed it. Also it's one hell of a pregnancy announcement.
And my brother called to tell me how much he liked the Hocking Hills and did I know how pretty they are? No duh, I'm the one who told you to come here for your 50th (yesterday) At least he and his wife enjoyed it.
Snippet A cute guy in a Broadhaven T-shirt strolled their way. For a second she thought he was a frat brother coming out to try his luck with the three of them but then the wind shifted. The murky damp scent of mud and algae hit her nose. Next to her Grace whispered a spell amping up her strength and speed. Laura drew her sword from the pocket universe as the cutie lunged for them, his form rippling and altering to something akin to a cross between the Creature from The Black Lagoon and a human.
Grace met his charge flinging him to the ground. He rolled away from them, dragging himself closer to the water. If he got into the lake, they might lose him. Alessia called up her fire magic, a low-level burn - lest someone see her back at the bonfire and wonder what the hell was going on. The Näcken howled thrashing from the heat. She hadn’t even tried to touch him yet because the last thing they needed was to get attention. He diminished and shriveled from the heat, unable to defend himself as Laura swung. The moment she cleaved his neck he shattered into dust.
