"P" is purposes

At Thanksgiving, Alma and Ennis had different purposes:  he was trying not to be a sad daddy, but Alma decided this was the moment to mention Jack Nasty.

"R" is rapacity

Jack, tired of spending nights in a pup tent that smelled like cat piss or worse, cursed Joe Aguirre for the rapacity that made him bend the Forest Service rules.

"S" is she
« Reply #16892 on: March 21, 2008, 12:47:37 am »
     "You know," she said, and from her tone he knew something was coming.  "I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home.  Always said you caught plenty.  So one time I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips -- price tag still on it after five years -- and I tied a note on the end of the line.  It said, hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love, Alma.  And then you come back and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up.  Remember?  I looked in the case when I got a chance and there was my note still tied there and that line hadn't touched water in its life."  As though the word "water" had called out its domestic cousin, she twisted the faucet, sluiced the plates.

"T" is traipse
« Reply #16893 on: March 21, 2008, 02:23:45 am »
The bitterness and anger Jack felt after the post-divorce mixup was the reason he started to traipse around the alleys of Mexico.

"U" is unpopular
« Reply #16894 on: March 21, 2008, 09:02:54 am »
The bikers were unpopular in the crowd of locals and Ennis made sure to let them know that they, with their slop-bucket mouths, were not welcome.

"W" is wounding
« Reply #16895 on: March 21, 2008, 09:20:44 am »
In the Thanksgiving kitchen, Alma kept up her wounding remarks, and the "Jack Nasty" comment was like rubbing in salt.

Round 665!



Posts will include an unplayed word as well as
one of the words found in Alma's note to Ennis.

For ease of play, the note word may be contained in a longer word:

something, Alma's, fishing, handsome

"A" is accustomed

Orphaned while still a boy, Ennis was accustomed to hard work and privation.

"B" is bound
« Reply #16898 on: March 21, 2008, 02:48:01 pm »
Alma tied the note to Ennis's fishing line, bound and determined to confirm her suspicions about what went on on his fishing trips with Jack.

"C" is catchy
« Reply #16899 on: March 21, 2008, 03:27:29 pm »
Alma wrote a catchy note to try to catch Ennis, to see if he really went with Jack to catch fish.
