My Stardust Melody, Chapter 13

[petuniagirl]

               Henry Coleman was a man of many talents if he did say so himself.  A brilliant gambler, a smooth Casanova, and an alcoholic-beverage savant, he prided himself on one thing most of all: scheming.  He was slippery and cunning, and if some of his better ideas didn't pan out, it was generally because someone else lost their nerve,

Thank you! Henry is such a fun character to write.

Silly is gooooood! Silly is verrrrrry good! I'm starting my day with a huge grin. Nothing better than that;) so I thank you. This was FUN!

Glad you liked what I've been calling "the slime chapter" for the past few weeks. This one made me a bit nervous to post, so you have fixed my nerves a bit. Thank you!

Glad it made you laugh, lucsmum!

Never apologize for making us laugh! That was hysterical!!!

I'm trying to picture Reid being the victim of all those practical jokes without him taking Henry to an entirely different level.

Have one question. I don't recall a blonde dying at Memorial. Did Henry make that up or did something happen I forgot about?

Thank you for your sweet comment. I'm so glad you thought it was funny.

I have a hard time picturing Reid dealing with those kinds of shenanigans, too. I have a feeling that at the very least Henry will wind up in quarantine or find himself in the middle of a cornfield one day. As it was, I tell myself that he was so busy with the new job that he couldn't divert too much attention away from it to spend on Henry.

No one died at Memorial. I kind of envisioned Henry having plans to get Katie to dress up as a ghost, so he made up a story surrounding her.

I'm glad you liked it. If I had my way, I would have spread the haunting out over several chapters instead of squeezing it all in here. I think it would have made for better laughs and I wouldn't have felt so uptight about posting this one
