A Mind is a Terrible Thing, Liz, sexual nightmares, R

[michellek]

1. The Grandma One

Yeah... Liz doesn't want to think about this one.

2. The Dennis One

It starts off with Liz and Dennis married. They have a bunch of kids -- four or five? -- and he calls them 'our little d-bags.' At some point, she and Dennis are in bed naked, and Dennis is on top, moving in and out of her. For what seems like hours. And then their kids come in, one by one, and Dennis doesn't stop no matter how wide-eyed the little d-bags stare at them.

3. The Tom Cruise One

The Tom Cruise one is very hazy. She just remembers there's cackling, and Tom yells out "Dianetics!" when he comes. Or "Die in Tetris!" She does recall a fear of death after they did it, and she could picture herself being crushed by those Tetris blocks. And Tom Cruise being okay with it. She's sure he would consider her an SP for her mockery of the Valkyrie trailer alone

Christmas Eve, Scotch, and Lemon, Jack, drinking alone, PG

[andie_k]

He sat behind his desk, a half-empty scotch bottle to his left. He couldn’t bear to return home, where is ailing mother awaited. The thought of Colleen with a titanium hip was depressing enough. He didn’t want to spend his Christmas Eve bickering with his mother. So instead, Jack sat alone in his office. Except for the bottle of scotch of course

This is great!

Thanks! I've never written anything that doesn't involve an interaction between two characters, it was more difficult than I thought.

Glad you enjoyed!

I liked this! Poor Jack, drinking alone. At least Liz is calling him, so things should be looking up for him.

Kind of Like Highway Hypnosis,Liz, The fate of her ham napkin, G

[andie_k]

Liz stared at the greasy wedding dress, now taking up the greater portion of her living room. (She STILL hadn’t gotten it dry cleaned. What was the rush, really, it’s not like she was planning on wearing it any time soon.) Wardrobe had refused to house her four thousand dollar ham napkin any longer, so Liz was stuck with it. In her apartment. Honestly, what was she going to do with this dress? Why did she buy it in the first place? (Yesterday evening she had discovered that it made a fantastic pillow as she watched Top Chef, but that was besides the point

Haha, Liz and the ham napkin are just made of win. This was a cute little drabble about it.

Aw thanks, glad you enjoyed!

El Sabor de Estrés, Jack, Sabor de Soledad, PG

[lynn_42]

Jack hangs up from another phone call with his mother, pressing the “end” button more vigorously than he intended. He lets out a deep breath, trying to calm down his frustrated thoughts

Re: El Sabor de Estrés, Jack, Sabor de Soledad, PG

[andie_k]

He has heard horror stories about the fate of people who stole Lemon’s food, and he does not want to become a cautionary tale.

I love that Jack's afraid of becoming a 'cautionary tale'. Great!

Re: El Sabor de Estrés, Jack, Sabor de Soledad, PG

[lynn_42]

Liz can become a very scary person when stolen food is involved. :) I'm glad you liked this! Thank you so much for reading it!

Re: El Sabor de Estrés, Jack, Sabor de Soledad, PG

[michellek]

This is great! It reads very much like Jack.
