Hey, Trixie. Whatcha doing?
“Having fun!”
You are possibly the worst liar in the Western Hemisphere.
“No, no. Loving this.”
White-knuckling it a bit, huh?
“Lemme ask you a question.”
Shoot.
“Your dad’s dead, right?”
Yup.
“Is there a radio station dedicated to reminding you of the fact once a year?”
No.
“Gotta walk around and see his face on tee-shirts?”
Also no.
“You see where I’m coming from?”
Little bit. You didn’t have to go to this, y’know.
“Eh. Bill asked.”
“Have either of you heard of the Deccan Flats? Vast plain of volcanoes in India. Might have killed the dinosaurs, might not have. Tough to know with volcanoes. Mysterious geological feature. Canyons, you can figure them out. But a volcano will keep her secrets within her no matter the interlocutor.”
Hey, Bill.
“I learned a word today!”
Interlocutor?
“How’d you guess?”
Remember that guy “Jaws”, from Moonraker?
