Prelude to a Workshop Slaying

I'm reading my story tomorrow at the writing workshop! Hiccups!

Ding Dong, the week is dead.

No longer going out tonight to hear Kevin read from his story. Just came back from the swimming pool and I'm beat. Sissy Jennifer is sitting on my bed right now, texting her boyfriend Tim. She's cooking for us tonight cannelloni with eggs (will that work?!) She wants Tim to buy some eggs before he comes over. My hair is still wet, though parts of it feel silky and smooth. My body aches, but in a good way. I'm drinking a glass of orange/banana juice mixed with water.

Full Circle, by Peter Straub, is a horror masterpiece. It's up there with Shirley Jackson's The Haunt of Hill House. I can't believe it took me 29 years to read it. I've only read two chapters but I'm already banging the hammer on the table and pronouncing its majesty amongst the scary genre. If you appreciate ghost stories, you must find this book. Good luck, mes phantomes.

You'll love it. Then you'll have nightmares. Then you'll be angry with me for recommending it to you. Then you'll forgive me.
