My curiosity was roused, and no matter how much I wished it had <em>tried to get to sleep again<\/em>, it stayed awake. Jim was a source of never-ending drama in our family. The first time he married, he s<em>eparated from his wife after falling in love with a young actress<\/em> on his honeymoon. The second time, he and his young actress wife <em>struggled with the question of last names<\/em> and who should take whose, and their marriage ended after only a month. Now he was married to Esmerelda, but, as always, had a roving eye. And the last time I&#8217;d seen Esmerelda she was having sex with my father. Did Jim know about that?<\/p>\n<p>I menaced the spy for a few more minutes so that he wouldn&#8217;t know his remark got to me, then I signaled to the warrior-monks holding my children to follow me up the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>I was half-expecting to walk in on Fluer and Jim banging it out, but that isn&#8217;t what I saw at all. When I entered the room where I&#8217;d left them, there was no sign of Jim. Fleur sat at the table, wearing Jim&#8217;s blue panda suit and a dreamy smile. The panda head sat beside her half-mug of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where&#8217;s Jim?&#8221; I asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s on a mission,&#8221; Fluer said with a happy sigh. &#8220;Did you know that this mascot suit smells just like him? <em>Musky cologne with a hint of whisky<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why are you wearing the panda suit, Fleur?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jim had to borrow my clothes for his mission. He couldn&#8217;t very well wear the panda suit. You know, because of <em>the poop problem<\/em>.&#8221; She patted herself down with her big panda paws. &#8220;There&#8217;s no trapdoor in this thing, and Jim needs to be able to move fast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>bonus points for using them in order<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stichomancy Writing Prompts\" href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompts\/\">about stichomancy writing prompts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompt-generator\/\">try our stichomancy writing prompt generator!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>tried to get to sleep again separated from his wife after falling in love with a young actress struggled with the question of last names musky cologne with a hint of whisky the poop problem Tune in next time part 391 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Click Here for Earlier Installments The spy&#8217;s words reminded me that Fleur [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[319,4],"tags":[91,24,341,403],"class_list":["post-6382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stichomancy-prompts","category-writing-prompts","tag-bonus-points","tag-brother","tag-clothes","tag-tune-in-next-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6382"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6501,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6382\/revisions\/6501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
