One Word: Logical pared down to fiction in 58
The logical thing would be to run. The logical thing was to not come here in the first place. The logical thing was to not answer her phone in the middle of the meeting. The logical thing was knowing there was no way Bryan would have asked her to meet him out here. Logic wasn’t worth spit now.
Logic wasn’t worth spit now. You’ll recall, after his “ascension” there, that John Nance Garner said “a bucket of warm spit” was about all the Vice-Presidency was worth.
A nice alchemical conflation of oneword and Fin58.
I was on my way to see what you did for SS#180, saw this sparkly thing, bent to pick it up, and it really was a jewel! Perfect progression here. And the pièce de résistance, a five star last line : )
