It actually helped that the hundreds of shoppers had vanished. That meant they couldn't be shot by accident while that gang of goons chased us with their handguns.

You don't expect a goddess to visit you and start talking about your writing, or the lack of it.
Yet here she was, dressed in a garment so thin that it was nearly transparent if the sun hit it just right.
And, here with some message for me.
Of course, she didn't get to it right off. Like her dress, she used her conversation to get my full attention before she could tell me what that message was.
It didn't take long for me to see she was dead serious...

It all began in mid-air.
A beautiful blue day, fluffy clouds with a hint of high wispy cirrus horsetails above them. If it weren't for the fact that I was falling through the air it would have been a nice day to be alive.
Just laying on my back, relaxed and falling to my certain end. Enjoying the ride, as it were. Wind buffeting all around as my body fell as fast as the air permitted it to move. Odd to see what my "last thoughts" would be. Always...
