Glad you liked that one, it was one of my prouder moments on the board as well

Meanwhile, this is one of my favourite passages:

"Seperation anxiety was ubiquitous as skin."

and

"Two hours later, he emerged from the clinic to find the sky painted with autumn twilight. He paused to find a cigarette, pop it in his mouth and light it against the cool evening breeze. He took a deep drag and looked up to see the first star winking in the deepening darkness. "

"Transparent" - masterofNone

I also love this one:

"It was rather Kafka-esque, Arthur realized; almost like the evening he tried to make love to his wife, only to realize that she was a hat."

"Arthur Is Dead" - MtBikerMike

"The glowing coals of fireside warmth surround.
Each shadow dances chased ‘way by the flame.
Ascending embers, raised by heat unbound,
create a burning my heart cannot tame."

whew.

"A brief encounter with a drunken old lady's handbag shown puffy and purple over Leah's left eye. Even now, laying in her mattress on the kitchen floor she could feel a mess of throbbing only a nice slab of sirloin could remedy."

me - Transparent 2

It could very well be a crap line, but it was an inspired moment of a crap line.

...but this *must* be commented on:

In answer to the question in "Lapietra's Highly Invasive Xmas Eve Questions (patent pending)" (Chit chat):

Dinzdale:
