L. T. Fawkes Reading Room http://ltfawkes.com/ features fiction by writers from around the world, from short stories to complete novels. Here's an excerpt from Fillmore Rides Again:
“Heiress Gloria Dalrymple,” the mall hair girl breathed, charging at us. She turned to stare at me. “And you’re . . . ”
“Not,” I said helpfully.
But she had turned her attention back to Gloria. “What are you doing here?”
Gloria said, “We’re here for the big monkey festival.”
Well, of course, there’s no such thing as a big monkey festival. It was Gloria’s subtle way of telling the brassy girl to mind her own business.
