MadLori:
I'm venturing into the uncharted territory (for me, anyway) of AU!AU.

It's very different from HI and TCJ.  I hope you enjoy it.

I LOVED it, Lori. I'm totally hooked. Absolutely wonderful first chapter; exciting and very convincing.

I'd love to find out how "D" got into this line of business and how he hooked up with Josey.

This was soo Ennis to me:

So he went, had two beers, stayed quiet, watched the people, and left again. If he stayed any longer, the eyes on him became too much. Always the eyes, looking at him sidelong, like they knew. What could they know about some stranger having a beer at the bar? They didn’t know shit. But the eyes were always him, and whether they knew anything or not, the idea that they might always drove him out.

I adored the Jack fuckin Twist line   :)

I can hardly wait for their first meeting. Will you be updating again soon?

Thanks Lori. I really loved it.

Bigheart:
Forgot to say that I also LOVE the title! How did you come up with it?

louisev:
it is from the poem "Snake" by Emily Dickinson.  It was also quoted in the title of a mystery story by Mary Willis Walker.

A narrow fellow in the grass
Occasionally rides;
You may have met him, -did you not?
His notice sudden is.

The grass divides as with a comb,
A spotted shaft is seen;
And then it closes at your feet
And opens further on.

He likes a boggy acre,
A floor too cool for corn.
Yet when a child, and barefoot,
I more than once, at morn,

Have passed, I thought, a whip-lash
Unbraiding in the sun, -
When, stooping to secure it,
It wrinkled, and was gone.

Several of nature's people
I know, and they know me;
I feel for them a transport
Of cordiality;

But never met this fellow
Attended or alone
Without a tighter breathing
And zero at the bone.

Bigheart:
Thank you Louise! How wonderful that you knew this!
