Anne Is Fiction

Wow. I posted a new chapter on Learning a Lesson, and now I have 41 reviews. That’s like, a big number. Whoa.

In other news, I SAW THE DARK KNIGHT THIS WEEKEND! I liked it, but it wasn’t quite as good as it could have been. For such a long movie (2 1/2 hours) it didn’t develop the characters well enough (mostly Bruce–he was barely in it). But what they say is true: Heath Ledger kicked ASS in this movie. He was scary, and scary-funny too.

Harvey Dent/Two Face was pretty creepy too. Though I must saw WTF? about all the people bringing small children to see this movie. There were five-year-olds in there! Between the Joker and Two Face, there are going to be some serious nightmares. (There was the same problem with Sweeney Todd; idiots bringing their kids to see Johnny Depp!ohmigoshsrysly in an extremely violent movie. That’s just wrong.)

Alfred and Lucius Fox are my heroes. They are soooooo cooooool.

Well, I’m off to go watch Buffy. I love Buffy. (Season Three, yo.)

I blame my orthodontist for this. When I got home yesterday, I just crashed. So, here is number five (and the last of the already written drabbles).

Winter’s Chill, Drabble Five: Can’t Deny The Past

It shouldn’t have been so hard to find someone. They did it in movies all the time.

Reid must have changed a lot, Tyler thought, if an Internet search only found old swimming articles. The blond had loved the spotlight…but there was nothing. No mention of him for five years.

Tyler knew why Reid felt like he had to hide.

Finally, he gave in and called Clarissa. It was a wasted effort. She hadn’t heard from her son since he left Boston.

No, Reid won’t be coming to the wedding. The news made Sarah cry. Caleb didn’t say anything.

Not much else to say besides this. Enjoy!

Winter’s Chill, Drabble Four: Can’t Deny The Past

The annual party was a pain, but Reid went anyway. It let him prove his ability to socialize, which his coworkers doubted. Young guy like you, you should be out on the town, not in the office!

This year, Reid even made an effort to impress the clients who attended. He avoided clients like the plague, but one night couldn’t hurt.

Two glasses of champagne later, the impossible: “Garwin? Any relation to the Garwin family over in Ipswich?”

He froze. He had come to California to avoid this.

The client was waiting. “Distantly,” Reid mumbled.

He left two minutes later.

This one was surprisingly difficult to get right. I had to twist it all over the place to get the material into 100 words. Oh, and I have no idea what kind of job Reid has. Something with an office, and annual parties. With nosy coworkers. *Shrug*
