If i'm on the knees, I won't be doing housework! .

Now you're quickly approaching adult videos territory.

Um, maybe you need to check under the apron before you make that assumption.

Then you won't need a professional chef for that breakfast....

By the way, I do enjoy that you still write on an ole' fashioned typewriter...that's cute.

Email me at trollingkrista69@gmail.com for photos of cooking videos. .

I can see that, okay, I'll see what I can do.

The apron protects the bits from splashing grease.

I was super worried about this chapter, I'm glad it sort of worked. Sometimes people just do what has to be done without motivation other than, we have to do this one thing. Methinks, I think he's a hero. He even wears under-roos! (does that show my age? Do they make those anymore?)

You guys are tearing me aaaaapppppaaaaaaarrrrrrtttttt!

Pssst! I asked you not to tell him.

I hate you sometimes!

There are so many different ways to respond to this sentence. None of them are good, but there are many ways. Because in my brain, when you said this, I picture while writing one theme, you wear a white suit with red bowtie, sipping on Mint Juleps as you write about the unspoken secret of NASA engineers working in Alabama (or is it Georgia) as they struggle with the new horizons of space travel. While the other theme, you are wearing steampunk gear, drinking motor oil and chomping on an unlit cigar while dealing with the horizon of zombies attacking New York City over Pace Piccata Sauce, the unspoken cause of the zombies. Not sure where I got this imagery, but I don't think it was AI. . I'm going away now, I have a kitchen to clean.

So last year I sat out, more accurately, I've never participated in any anthology, not because of themes but I suck at writing short stories. But last year, it was because of the theme. I also didn't read any of them because I'm not an animal person. I did read Lee Wilson's, mainly because I read most of his stuff on principle. I dipped my toe into Secret Author's once, but I really don't enjoy writing short stories. Matter of fact my follow-up to the Secret Author's short story is now around 130K words, a short christmas story that ballooned into madness. I'm not good at writing short stories, or anything really. But Horizon is a theme that sparked an idea. I shan't say whether or not I'm going to do this yet. I don't like to commit to something and then fail at the task. But as usual, myr and Cia spews forth knowledge and it gets my tiny brain going. And though I have no idea what the Secret Author theme is, or even if its been announced, I think I'm going to do that again. Oh yeah, AI, myr's use of AI got me thinking in the direction of Horizon, something on the edge of becoming commonplace. So if I write about AI, I shall blame you, loudly and publicly. As for @Krista claiming no desire to spoon feed people, I shall remain silent as I am being good this week. But come on...am I right? This kind of counts as remaining Unspoken, something I also fail at repeatedly.

You can only post a chapter a day of any story, or you can post a new different story chapter every 12 hours, I think, something like. As for enough of me, I thought the photos I sent would have carried you over. I guess you need more photos of me cooking dinner. .

Not according to GA's posting guidelines. You can only post a chapter a day (no one tell him the real policy please), so I posted one today, tomorrow is Gabriel's Gambit, and Frosted hearts on Monday. Then I'll post the final two chapters and will start working on the next project.

Okay, do you want Frosted Hearts or Gabriel's Gambit? Hmm, HMMMM

Oh I hoping fuck not!

Michael does seem to be a bit off most of the time. I wonder how Sheila can stomach being married to him.

That statement sums up their relationship to a tee, doesn't it? They seem to think you never have to pay for credit, just push it off for next month. Those silly gooses, I can't wait to read the next chapter. .

From the very beginning, Percy seems to shy away from his bravery. He didn't want the newspaper article about him, he keeps telling people it was nothing, that anyone would do it. Yet when the chips are down, Percy never hesitates to put himself in harms way to save others. I think that's brave too. Five acted like a friend, but you can also see how much he loves Percy. Running in deep snow, carrying a person, that takes an enormous amount of willpower to continue through the pain. I'm not sure if they belong together, but I know they believe that. I think the time for pretending is over. Now lets see how they handle that.

Michael is reckless, fixated on a goal that no one really understands. People like that rarely get what's coming to them, I bet you he sells his technology to NenTek and makes millions. Next chapter, an ear worm ravishes his brain and he starts smelling the color yellow. It's a touching scene.

At the very least, right.

All the scenes with Michael were the ones I stressed over. I hope they came across as I intended. Smarmy was my intention, not a bad guy but a clueless one. Let's see what happens now that everyone is safe back at PineCrest.

But it was the wrong Monday, Mr. The Dog!
