Infinitá was packed this evening. I sipped a drink and watched the crowds from my seat at the booths. It allowed me to oversee a good portion of Infinitá's first floor while remaining unobtrusive. There were a few people I was...

I didn't have a car to take me to Chesim this time, but at least the day was hovering around a comfortable seventy degrees; actually a somewhat warm day after a cold spell. I chewed on a couple of mints and settled in for a...

"....and the insurance company is okay with it?" Mom asked Dad.
"Yeah, apparently," Dad shuffled through a small pile of bills, notices, and letters on the dinner table. Steam rose from an enchilada on his plate; Dad dug in....

The rhino, almost two heads taller than me, looked down at me. His eyes were wide in surprise. My nose was inches from his chest as I glared right back. I'm sure that to anyone who was watching, and there were quite a few, we...

"I finished my drink! You're supposed to get me a new drink _before_ I finish!"
"There's sour cream in my rice, take my plate back!"
"Get us more napkins! How come whenever we come here we never get enough napkins!"
