The Hated Rule

Periwinkle Chronicles, tales of the citizens of Periwinkle [because all the other colors were already taken] County:

Claire Nathan slumped down onto a stool at "The Whistle & Thistle Biker Bar & Glee Impersonators Club.”

“Give me a double Elk Sweat,” she said to Edith.

“You look tired and mad enough for Elk Sweat,” said Edith, “but a double is awful strong. Persimmon juice as well as mad veal.” [“Mad veal” is a Periwinklian slang for caffeine, since it sounds like calf fiend.]

Claire glared at her.

“Once again,” she said, “I have proved the rule that if you just get up and start doing stuff, you can get stuff done.”

“Double Elk Sweat coming up,” said Edith. “I hate that rule, too.”

DN [The End] until next time…
