"April's Adventures, how can I help you?"

"April's Adventures, how can I help you?" Her voice was far too perky and I had had far too little sleep. "How about a library visit in August," I snarled, my bad mood bleeding

I feel comfortable doing." She shook all over. Her mineral make up stained the ring around her tank top. She muted the television and lit her cigarette. Blood poured from her eyes

She hated it when she cried blood. And unfortunately, that's exactly what was happening at this moment. She reached over to the table on the left and grabbed a tissue from the

box, dabbing at her bloody eyes. Times like these, she really despised being a creature of the night. Crying blood just got to be so messy. She didn't dare to wear white anymore.

Even before Labor Day. Fortunately, the Kate Gosselin Collection from Sears offered lovely summer fashions in purply red. I was no longer Maddy, Collin all the stores to find

obscure cultural references to match my softer side of Sears fashion senses, but I found that

there was no need to bring my credit history into this. There would always be room for improvement, but I would need to start paying my bills on time first. To that end, my father

brandished the stack of bills and overdue notices like an awkwardly shaped club. " IN MY DAY," he shouted, "WE HAD TO WALK 6 MILES TO PAY OUT NEAREST BILL!" It made no sense but

then neither did the man we all called 'Nearest Bill'. Still, with Will at the grill and Bill at the mill, we added dill to the krill and ate our fill. A pill, and all was still.
