First Words
Harry Wright rolled over and said smothing spelled"Bzzhha-a-aw."Last Words
And, still grinning, he went back into the garage and took out his tools.Favorite Quote
Harry growled and started after him; but suddenly, in the air between him and the midget workman, a long white hand appeared. The empty air was swept back, showing an aperture from the garage to blank, blind nothingness. Out of it stepped a tall man in a single loose-fitting garment literally studded with pockets. The opening closed behind the man.
What I learned about Writing
Take something normal and expand the idea. What would happen if.. the days were set up for the actors and what moves a day forward. And what is this time thing anyway. Time travel has so many possibilities to ravel and unravel and re-examine our postmodern time. February is a strange month. It is strange in the amount of its days, and that every four years their is an extra day; and the days are shorter which makes us feel weirder, so what better time than now to explore time and order with our R.O.U.S. named Phil.
