Jim: Marlowe Meets Maker

The first room we smashed through was loaded to the rafters with swords and knives. “That’s a lot of cutlery,” my partner said.

The next room was full of guns. Crates of guns, from Saturday Night Specials up to bazookas, were stacked along all four walls.

And the dame was there, too. I didn’t need to know body language to see that her body spelled trouble.

“What’s with all the artillery, Toots?” I asked.

I heard the gunshots and felt the warm slap of lead before I even saw the pistol in her hand. “A girl needs protection,” she purred.

Maybe in another story. This one was supposed to be about the room with guns.

My first storyline for development was to be, the hunt for the missing comma. Then shortly after everyone else thought of it, and decided (wisely) against it, I was building a story around a panda. "Eats shoots....."

I'm over that now.
