Eeee! Loved this! "One skull, polished to shine like a pearl..."

Great!

It's creepy, no? I would like a pearl carved like a skull! :D Thanks.

Pearl carved like a skull: yes. Skull polished like a pearl: EEK no!!

Oh hell yes. Beautiful & evocative & succinct (so difficult!).

tessagratton August 3 2010, 16:58:49 UTC

Necessity made me succinct. I just finished a death march to the end of my novel, and this just HAD to be short. Hee hee. But thank you.

This is great! I love the murder angle, and overall the story flowed very well. That line about "three times three" is probably my favorite. :)

Thank you! I love number magic. And murder - does a body good. Um, when a body is a story. Or something like that...
