All you need is a bowl of pea greens
At that time, I had just bought a house and was renovating it. The construction crew was hired by a very good friend of mine, all of whom are said to be relatives. I began to think that since they are "own people", they should be careful to do their work, which knows that these people not only do not think about my brothers' feelings, but also work particularly rough. When installing the floor, they scattered the decoration trash all over the stairs, and in the end, despite my repeated warnings to them not to scatter it, the roughness of these people eventually gave me a lot of trouble.

Iris, Prince Don, and the Phoenix Feather Lantern, Part 2
Iris plummeted off the cliff, goggled at green rushing closer, yelled at herself, and yanked the cord to release her chute. With a jerk she was suspended, and breathed again.

Plaster clung to my hair. My eyes wouldn’t stop watering. “Tell me about the robbery.” The copper was old enough to have experience, young enough to have hope and ambition. The woman he addressed clutched her phone.

Cat Burglar . Top Story - June 2023.
"Don’t worry. There’s no way this can go wrong this time.” She looks up at me, an expectant look in her green gaze. I chuckle and bring my hand to rest on her head. “But yes, we can go over it again. While I'm distracting him, you enter. You grab the goods and then we meet by the window.”

Cheeky Monkeys (part 1 of 2)
“I must say, they really have had me going,” Pomare Brisbois admitted with a predictable chuckle, because… Pomare Brisbois chuckled, early and often. Everything about them, he felt, just seemed to click. The way they bounced one droll line after another off of each other, it was as if they had been the best of mates, since they had been in short pants.
