I don't understand this word limit thing. The way the story goes is the way it goes. )))

To me, it wasn't the ending that was the most interesting but the fact that both Jan and Toby - the masters of the West Coast Swing that they were - nevertheless had to hide it from their immediate

Interesting. My accountant is a sneaky and shrewd lady, who prides herself on fighting IRS every step of the way. ))) As far as the economy of words is concerned, yes poetry is a good tactic. I try to

The intent of the phrase was ironic - surely "the weather doesn't suit my clothes" here. )))

A very unusual take at the theme I should say. Even though nowadays it might be not so unusual when we hear about cases like this in the news. Also, I liked how you've hit on all the clues in the prompt.

Thank you for reading! You've caught all the nice word combinations. My favorite was "came out of the closet about his headache." But I am not sure if this came across. I never know these things.

Thank you!

Thank you! I am glad you liked it.
