DRABBLE: Visiting
And the beat goes on, with eledhwenlin giving me “lasagna,” “freak” and “sap.” Same original ‘verse as Thinking, Plotting and Remembering.
Visiting
by Tara Keezer
“Lasagna? Marvelous! I’m starving.”
She breezed in as if we hadn’t seen each other in nearly twenty years, and like a complete sap, a freak even, I let her.
“Morrwen!”
“Books, Archie. You have far too many books. And not nearly enough scotch.” She was inhaling my whisky in the living room when I found her.
“Go. Now.”
“Not until I see Jania.”
“Jane. Our daughter’s name is Jane.”
“Whatever.” She shrugged. “I’ll leave after I’ve seen her.”
“No.”
“She’s in the Book of Life, darling.” Her smile turned nasty. “Produce her at once.”
Oh, God.
No.
Please, not that.
