(no subject)

I had one paragraph worth of story pop into my head oh, two years ago now? but when I went to push it further the main character sat down and said, "ah, no thanks, I just can't be bothered" and refused to be cajoled into playing along.

Well, he's back, showed up out of the blue and tapped me on the shoulder and damned near gave me a heart attack it surprised me so much. "I'm ready," he says. As much as I'm unbelievably busy, I have the sense that he can be a bit of a thug, so I'm going to try to find time to give him some attention anyway. Took me the better part of an hour to find the random file I'd stuck that paragraph in, but I did.

The story is (at least for now) named Mandrake's Folly ( and here's that paragraph from so long ago: )
