LucieL was toying with the idea of starting

LucieL was toying with the idea of starting a story with an interesting and inspiring premise. But she thought - no, I'll talk about my parking fine. I've got another one. Oh the

meter maid, so high on his horse, so proper and authoritative. Then Lucie recalled a story she'd read. It was about someone taking a stand. It was about the meter maid murderer.

So the Meter Maid Murderer had a copy-cat?! Who would have guessed! Lucie ran from under the bridge and stood on the steps looking over the campus till

the giant peered over the Campus's stadium. The giant was huge, like a skyscraper with pants. It reached for Lucie because it wanted to eat her.

But when the giant tried to lift her, he discovered that Lucie was not distinct. Her conjoined twin, Lucie, rose along with her. They resembled Margot Kidder. "Sisters!" the giant

exclaimed unnecessarily. Lucie & Lucie were conjoined at the top of their heads.They shared skull space, but were definitely two distinct personalities. Lucie was shy, while Lucie

it was a 2-for-1 deal. "So," I said softly to Shy Lucie, "You like Spiderwoman too?" But before Shy Lucie could answer, Loud Lucie interrupted. "Shuddup. I have a headache." Shy Lu

cy karate chopped Loud Lucie in the throat, placed a plastic bag over her head and sealed it with a zip tie. "What were you saying about the 2-for-1 deal and Spiderwoman?"

The cashier blankly stared at the man, clearly unaware that he was trying to rob the supermarket. "I said, if you buy 2 oatmeal boxes, you get a free female tarantula!" He ran off.
