Popsicle Stick Stories

[age.livejournal.com]

It's that time again! I'm sure you all know the drill by now, but for those that don't I direct you (here).

Remember to reply to this post with your answers. If your results will end up taking 2 comments to post in its entirety, please post it in your own journal and then tag this post with a link!

Also, for some more writing fun, please check out (this post) and try your hand at some descriptive writing. We had warm-ups on descriptive writing last year, but I figured that the sticks would be just as great.

It takes a lot of work to write these things up, so please drop by Nina's post and make some time to give it a go!

... had to finish it!

John is a priest now. Somewhere along the line, I suppose, he must have confessed to that one lapse in an unblemished education. Whether he said, to that faceless grille in that anonymous box, what else he knew, I have never asked. That, I suppose, is why Aurore asked me that question. As soon as confession was a possibility...

And what of his mother, and what of his one-time French teacher?

We're still cheating.
