Author's Note: Very slowly catching up. Feel like I'm trying to restart my fiction motor like I'm restarting a lawnmower, tugging with all my might at the cord, hoping this is the time it will finally kick over and start roaring back to life.

"Don't go," I told him. "I should prefer that you remain."

This, after our contretemps about intelligence, chemistry, and survival in the stultifying everyday, was not enough to keep him. Only the protests of our new client prevented his flight.

He was willing to be of "inestimable service" to a beautiful woman, but he would not consider it for me.

Title: Normal

Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Drug use

With every injection, he tried to block out the suffocating boredom of the world around him. That so-called normal world where people fall in love and marry, where doctors practice medicine and not sharpshooting. Where the greatest danger of one's evening is usually being late for dinner and is never poisoned blow darts.

Seven percent had never seemed so low.

Oh, thanks. :-) You are kind and reassuring, but I reely (as Lord Peter would tease me) enjoy writing each 60 because I end up with a finished piece which I am proud of. I think what I most enjoy about them is that I am forced to be clever to get the job done. 'Look how clever I am! I got all that across in 60 words,' I think to myself. So I'm annoyed that I don't set aside a bit of time to do this each week.

This is a fantastic 60x60 sandbox you have created and I enjoy it immensely whether or not I'm managing to keep up in the most technical sense.

Thank you!
