...Tortimer gave me a party popper. As if that would mend the hole of undone things he’d made me think about. Thanks Tortimer. Thanks. Needless to say, my flower watering was somber affair. I clomped around town and the golden watering can felt heavy and frivolous in my cold hand. The newly laid grass patterns looked like astroturf. New Year’s approach depressed me.
Kitt stopped me by the pansy ...
... G-man, think you could’ve found a place that actually lets you in?” said a voice from the hall. House ducked behind a wall, glancing confusedly at Moriarty, who didn’t seem phased by this intrusion. Moriarty clomped loudly towards House, and said, “They can’t see you; they can’t hear you either.” House tugged at his ear as a small wave of embarrassment rolled over him. It didn’t stay long. He ...
... me sleeping with you again!" She ruffled his hair affectionately. "Dork. See you Friday...I am so going to kick that Lich lord's ass next game, I don't care what John throws at us." Kerry clomped down the stairs. Tommy sighed and sat down on the edge of his bed, staring at his tie, trying drunkenly to calculate the odds of rolling five twenties in a row. "Hey Tommy?" she called back. "Can ...
...-passport-in grope. Then I remembered something from when I worked in a bookstore. It was a small independent shop in a small independent mall in Northampton, Massachusetts, one of those places where eveyone clomped around in their Birkenstocks and Doc Martins and the air hung thick with pachouli. A man comes up to me with several large cookbooks and says he doesn't have a receipt but he'd like...
...and combs that had been scattered carelessly across the mirrored shelf back into their bags." Excerpt 2: "Outside, the afternoon was losing brightness into evening. Enis stood at the door attentively as riders and carriages clomped by on the main road, just a few steps from the stairs that led down from her feet. On the other side of the street, a huge black metal fence blocked off a green and ...
...before heaving a sigh and dragging himself upright. He gave a half-hearted kick at the dog's rump, but ended up missing and stubbing his toe on one of the table legs. Cursing under his breath, he clomped out of the apartment, not bothering to lock or even shut the door behind him. The dog eyed him with a "Who pissed in his coffee?" look before following its master dutifully out the door, down the ...
... and Shawn over and told us to stand with this crowd of people. It was outside the scene of the crime. We were confused but we did it anyway. Juliet stood and watched as someone wearing high heels clomped past, while the defendent stared on in disbelief, and we realized that Juliet was trying to frame the defendent after the fact. "We have to say something," I said to Shawn. "So go ahead," he ...
...’s obvious discomfort when his sister was always mentioned. “You’re probably right on that account, it wouldn’t be boring.” “Stay away from my sister.” Grif demanded as his feet finally clomped onto the floor. Before I could retort another snide comment, the static of the radio caught my attention as command reconnected the channels. "Private First Class Simmons, this is Command." "Go ahead ...
.... SCORE! So at eight I stumbled out of bed, brushed teeth and hair, pulled on the first pieces of clothing to come to my hand (which were both matched AND clean, and therefore became SCORE the second), and clomped down the stairs to the dining hall. In the dining hall I went through the line (cheese for the grits. SCORE the third), put my food at a table, and was off to the drink dispensers, who ...
Tonks left the lift on the second floor and breathed. It was good to be out of her flat; the walls were becoming too familiar. Her boots clomped loudly in the empty hallway as she had shown up at her normal time - much before anyone else. She went to the tea room first, then made her way to her office.
