Story: The Continuing

In which a faun posts his list.

Eyebrows furrowed in concentration the faun stared furiously at the boggle grid. The only sound in the glade was the furious scratching of feather pen on parchment as BSA scribbled like a madwoman. DFL, who normally was a boggle fiend, had succombed to the cold temperatures and lack of Diet Coke and was down with a nasty cold. TA was writing slowly and muttering something about Battleship and making "Kablooie" noises. WW was building a snowman, since word games were not a part of the Amazon way.

At last the final grains of sand in the ornate hourglass dropped and the contest was over. With a flourish, the faun produced his list:

Lawn
lawns
wan
pawn
pawns
mop
sin
sins
fit
sat
sate
lop
mite
mites
son
sons

Will BSA triumph? Will they ever get out of the snow? Will WW find a carrot for her snowman's nose? Will DFL manage to look fashionable while sick?

Stay tuned...

Wonder Woman always said she was staying away from the fawn. Hope that DFL gets feeling better.

Since you totally kicked my trash, I think you're entitled to evil laughter. Go ahead, get it out now before that whole Feb-Apr 15 thing.

I hear sniggering if very beneficial exercise. I encourage you to indulge in it.
