"O" is oscillated

On his post-divorce journey, Jack's feelings oscillated from delight to despair.

Thanks for the wishes.  I wouldn't mind having Jack or Ennis around during my move!  My stuff sure don't fit in a paper bag or a sugar sack LOL.

"P" is pacing
« Reply #17011 on: March 31, 2008, 09:38:38 am »
Before Jack got there, story Ennis was pacing back and forth and "looking down into a street pale with dust" while Alma "was saying something about taking his friend to the Knife & Fork for supper."

"R" is ricochet

After shooting the elk, Ennis falls back from the ricochet motion of the gun, while Jack slaps him on the back and says "Oooeee!"

"T" is thick-set

Ennis says goodbye to Alma Jr. and then waits as she moves past the thick-set hedges, down the private walkway, and up the wooden stairway leading to the front door of her house.

"U" is undertakes

After many years of holding her tongue, Alma, feeling relatively safe with her new husband in the next room, undertakes to get the truth from Ennis about his trips with Jack Twist: 

"I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there....Don't try to fool me no more, Ennis, I know what it means.  Jack Twist?  Jack Nasty.  You didn't go up there to fish."

Round 671!

Round 671!


Another Postcard for Ennis:  Part 1

Posts will include an unplayed word
as well as one of the following words:
  Ennis, see you in a couple weeks....

For ease of play, the postcard word may be part of a longer word:
seem, rein, original

And, because it's April Fools' Day, let's play the alphabet in reverse order:

"W" is woozy

Consuming too much whiskey next to the fire with Jack left Ennis feeling woozy and confused.

"U" is ungenerous
« Reply #17019 on: April 01, 2008, 10:43:44 am »
Story Jack told Ennis that his father-in-law was ungenerous, even towards his own daughter:

"Lureen?  There's some serious money there.  Her old man's got it.  Got this farm-machinery business.  Course he don't let her have none a the money, and he hates my fuckin guts...."
