Great scene-setting.

Thanks!

I actually have a strange love for dive-y diners and Americana so I could describe this particular place for days and had to resist in order get in an all the dialogue.

This sucked me in....wonderful spin...the length didn't matter coz the story was griping..though I would have love to have known whether she was guilty...and glad to hear you would be visiting them again..I want to know what exactly happened and what happens next?...Good Job! Kudos!

Gosh, what a lovely comment thank you!

I will have to keep writing this at some point because the characters keep talking to me. I feel like a madwoman describing it this way but it's like Mel is trying to show me the prison cell she woke up in in what would be the next chapter and I feel sort of bad keeping her there ya know? Especially cause I'm pretty sure she didn't murder anyone (but she won't come right out and say she didn't.)

This was lovely. I feel sorry for Ecanus getting caught in the middle like that.

[rswndrlst]

Thank you and yes once I realized how it was going to play out I felt kind of sad for him too.

[kajel]

Alright, where are you hiding the rest of the story? ;) I enjoyed this.

[rswndrlst]

Hee! Thank You!

I have been thinking of using this as my jumping off point for Camp NaNoWriMo in July but if I stay in LJ Idol that long trying to do both might be crazy. I keep resisting just sitting down and starting writing what comes next even though I can't stop thinking about it myself.
