X-Files

The night jitterbug’s its way into morn. The car seat’s awash in burger rappers, torn. A lipstick stained paper coffee cup sits precariously on the dash, backlit. The windshield takes a direct hit from a large storm-tossed stick. Dana Scully, beautiful Irish lass of copper hair and blue eyes looks good even in the green light of the car’s dash. A dog howls. Dana glancing in the rearview mirror she sees Zombies rising the sound track reeks terror. “Mulder…Mulder,” she whispers into the cell phone! “They’re here….” She upholsters her gun, as she hears his tone. Laying the gun on the seat best her, she backs the car over the nearest ghoul. From behind a crypt another comes with a mouth full of cat and fur. A car speeds to a screeching halt beside her door. Mulder arrives, a bit late, but what are friends for? Dana, heroine extraordinaire leaps from the car, she covers her partner. He doesn’t have to come far. Without a hair out of place or a wrinkle in her shirt she saves Fox’s bacon and leaves Zombies in the dirt!

Deborah, i so enjoyed the X-Files when it came on the scene. Sadly it went the same way as Moonlighting, darned boring. Basically they ran out of decent script writers and the rest, or the latter is crap history. Koolio piece though, and many congrats in the contest >> James

LOL about your comment on Breakdown. ok, here we are, Guzzi & Weimer - the PS files. Ha! well, actually I AM a bit insane like Munch's Scream, : )) scary. I can't really help you - or I would write a blog about how good it is, but I am not really here. you don't really see me, but you are very good at drawing me in (and that was so sweet of you). now I have some chocolate with my name on it, calling out to me. love you Deb. have a good night and see you soon. xoxo

Now that is good, Deb.! It makes me want to watch TV. I only do that when I am in Jacksonville visiting. Can you get the reruns on the Internet? (I rarely watch TV.) Take care, my dear friend. Lovingly, Dane Ann
