LOCATION: Exterior abandoned swimming pool, day.

Our intrepid heroes have boldly ventured forth to the old swimming pool, abandoned lo these five or six years. It is a creepy place. The waters where children once played are now murky and dark, covered in duckweed and rotted vegetation and frogs the size of small cats. Not even the brightly shining sun can dispell the air of desolation that surrounds it. Yes, it's the perfect place for another episode in THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF ALEX. [and Danny.]

Alex: Hey, that thing down there? Looks kinda like a ...turtle arm. In the pool. *gets it out with stick*

Alex: Whaddya know? It is a turtle arm. ...Just the arm.

Danny: THAT'S SICK. IT'S JUST AN ARM.

Alex: Oh, so it'd be fine if there'd been a whole dead turtle on the bottom of the pool?!

Danny: YES. At least then it wouldn't have been just an ARM.

Alex: Do you have a thing about disembodied arms?

Danny: Disembodied anything. Zombies, now, I don't have a problem with zombies. Zombies are easy. Shotgun'll take care of 'em. Easy.

Alex: What if you don't have a shotgun?

Danny: Then I beat 'em to death with something. Like that rock right there.

Alex: That looks like a good place for snakes.

Danny: Then I beat the zombie to death with a snake.

Alex: What if... Uh, what's that in the water?

[Eyes have emerged from the water. We are now being watched by about ten pairs of eyes. In the water.]

Alex: Uh, do you see eyes?

Danny: Oh... my...

More eyes: *appear*

Danny: OH... MY... *hyperventilates*

Alex: Oh, wait, those are bullfrogs.

[long pause]

Danny: ...Well, at least they weren't zombies.

I don't think the turtle was missing it, wherever he or she was...

He was so cute. :]

By "he," I of course mean my brother.

Maybe the turtle is scruffy and uses a cane now!

Are you in a write-y mood? If so, the idea of writing a kids book crossed my mind: a book about a goldfish with no tail. ;) What do you think?

Awwwww! Nubbin! :] What all would writing this book entail?

I would like to tell her story and give a lesson on how not being "perfect" is okay. Something like that...

I mean, we have two writers (you, me) and an illustrator (Erica). We could make it happen! ;)

Do you know how awesome you are? I guess you don't because if you did, you'd be walking around all, "Hey, I'm awesome!"

Danny is pretty awesome too...

Awww, you make me blush. :]

Danny certainly has his redeeming moments...

You and Danny are SO COOL!
