Josie pulled her tea cup aside to avoid the deposit. “Let’s play Old Maid, Dad just taught me how yesterday- it’s really really fun-” “But we’re still entertaining our guests. Mr. Bear is aghast at your manners! We haven’t even had cake yet!” “They don’t eat. They’re just stuffed animals!” Josie unpackaged the playing cards from their box. “They’re inanimate!” “You are inanimate. Everybody eats. Especially Mr. Bearington. He loves honey.” Val crossed her arms. “Look how you’ve hurt their feelings.” Josie looked at the stuffed toys, staring blankly as they ever were.

In an effort to help my chances in the Crypt-TV contest which I joined almost a month after it started, I have decided to try a giveaway. The first 250 people who order my entry, Manifesto: A tale of Murder, or anyone who orders before Oct 30 will be placed a random drawing. I will select three of your names from a fishbowl and the first winner will get my original handwritten first draft. The two runners up will get a character renamed after them (if they so choose). I’ll hold the drawing the day after the project reaches the Quill funding goal. So what do you say? Help me make up for lost time.
