- Miss. Willard was a kindly old woman who lived at the end of the street. She passed out toothbrushes every Halloween instead of candy. She smiled a lot. I hated her, but not for
- perverted Halloween candy practice, but for her husband Fred Willard. He was an evil bastard. I don't care about his shtick. I hate her for marrying him, and I really hate him
- for marrying my highschool sweetheart. She was mine, mine, mine! I brooded on a cunning plan to ditch Fred Willard so she could be with me. I researched the 48 laws of power, the 7
- Deadly Sins, the Pythagorean Theorem and Paula Deen recipes. Putting bits of them all together, my plan to ditch Fred Willard and get my highschool sweetheart back was foolproof.

- the hell? I headed for Ziggy's. He was the best code writer around. I wiped the sweat off my brow as Ziggy answered the door. Ziggy looked at the sweat-smeared crumpled paper and
- studied it carefully. He always folded a story for inspiration when he encountered writer's block. The cool-headed clarity always helped him rationalize his thoughts.
