Beauty (Act II) On her back on the bed in the dark – Getting Ready – Speaking Precisely – Twenty-eight thirty

The next fit of "Beauty" has dropped—

#GonzoNoir #UrbanFantasy #IndieAuthors #Groceries

No. 8, “Beauty.” Looking up at a traffic light hung from a heavy cable stretched at a sharp angle across a street, or an intersection, a streetlight, unlit, behind, above, all under a soft grey sky. Slung from a lighter parallel wire a pair of yellow high-heeled slingbacks, tied together by a bit of rope and tossed up to dangle there, so high.

And, starting Monday, “Beauty,” of which you should dream. —Ysabel takes decisive action; Jo fights her second duel.

(In which coffee is ordered, clothes are laundered, groceries secured, an eye is lost, and a carpet ruined.)

No. 5, “Freeway.” Six lanes of freeway run beneath us through a twilit gulch, greenery rising lushly dark to either side, a sign halfway along, offering a choice, this way to Salem, that to Seattle. The towers of downtown are visible in the distance, rising up before the western hills, and foremost among them a great oblong of pink and amber glass, shining too brightly in an impossible beam of sunlight.

“Freeway,” what do you think they're yelling for. —The boar, escaped, is found, and put down.

(In which a Princess is licensed, a cat disappears, a song is sung, an obsession indulged, and a leg is broken.)
