It hadn’t been her plan to have house guests in her time of mourning. It was really most inconvenient, she’d have preferred if they’d had a little accident somewhere unconnected with her. Her darling Session dying of course had been planned between her and Ardnel but it wouldn’t have hurt if the tree had eaten Ardnel at the same time. As it was she’d had to terminate Auroch early. Sighing, she shrugged then smiled, ‘fatal car accidents happened in winter.’

‘Hmmm about 10 minutes to reach the spot,’ and she precisely triggered the pre-arranged spell for Dallyn’s car to crash.

With gentle attentiveness, Tammy Aghdashloo was seated for the reading of the will and looked around the small room puzzled at the two strangers who were ushered in as well.

The solicitor started reading:

I, Sessions Adhdashloo, of Blackwood Parish do revoke all prior wills I have previously made.

I am married to Tammy Adomicetti and regretted it every minute. Divorce was not an option because of a prenuptial magical binding. My death shall terminate this marriage and all my worldly goods shall revert to my closest living blood kin.

Therefore, a prepaid contract with Resurrection-R-Us shall go into effect for the raising and reformation of my body into life. My death shall set me free and my reformation shall make me my own beneficiary.

In addition, if Tammy Adhdashloo nee Adomicetti shall have caused my death through; action, collusion, arrangement; magical or otherwise, she shall not survive the 45 days of my reformation. This curse shall be proof of her guilt and will only be put into effect by that circumstance. If she shall survive then she may keep the house and contents for as long as she lives after which the house shall be consumed by fire in its entirety with her in it, I greatly hope.

“No! I’m not responsible for your death Sessions Adhdashloo,” Tammy threw her head back and shrieked at the ceiling, “Do you hear me?!”

“Lie,” responded one of the witnesses to the Will’s reading.

Tammy slewed around glaring malevolently at him, “I am not lying!” she spat.

“That also is a lie,” was calmly stated.

Whittaker stood taking out and positioning an entrapment sphere. “Tammy Adhdashloo I arrest …”

“No! I won’t let you,” casting out her hand to prevent the sphere’s activation.

Escaping, she never noticed the tree in the shrubbery.

The unborn

I work in a school library.

Today as a student of the (11 to 12 year persuasion) returned 3 books to trade in for the newest Riordan book, another student of the same age saw what he was returning and exclaimed, "So you're the one who had that."

The 3 books were on space & time, chemistry, and astronomy.

They then fell into a conversation that could have been lifted from Big Bang Theory. Anime thrown in for good measure.

Another set of students in this age group are independently on their own coming into the library at lunch to work on a computer program that they are creating.

We've got an interesting batch of 6th graders this year.

And in other news This National Theatre Live will broadcast the Donmar Warehouse production of Coriolanus, with Tom Hiddleston in the title role and Mark Gatiss as Menenius, directed by Josie Rourke, live from their Covent Garden home. is going to be available as two broadcasts here in Fort Worth.
There is wanting involved. Now how to remind my child that the end of February is her mother's birthday. *grins* posted link to her Facebook page, prefaced with "*WHINES*"
