Liked your bit about having to clean up the mess :)<br /><br />Morganna - hey, it was either that or Yasmine, right? :P<br /><br />Cathryn - actually we managed to remember everything we needed! That might be a first though...<br /><br />I like the idea of envy being potentially misplaced in yours.

Cause it always seems, no matter how hard you try to get everything some thing goes missing and you have to jury rig it in the field. But you'll get the swing of things and you'll have it down to an hour over what you're used to for getting out of the house.<br /><br />@Greg - Now, how does one use Envy as a marketing ploy? No... I think I might understand. :}<br /><br />@Morganna - nice little poem.<br /><br /><br /><b>Envy</b><br />It really was hard to envy her, even if you tried. She'd always sense it, seduce you and leave you on a cloud of satisfied passion, wondering what you were thinking before. No, she was not the one to envy, the one to envy was the one she'd choose as a partner for however long her trip was. And really, the question was, how to obtain that coveted positon, so that her passion would be yours for more than just one moment.<br /><br /><i> Yes that's about Rachael my spacer chick... I'm not sure I'm liking who I think the narrator might be... she's a little young to be thinking like that! *grins* characters</i>Cathryn Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816869021658935999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-70379930729688115842012-11-30T07:22:08.343-08:002012-11-30T07:22:08.343-08:00Envious to a fault

Although it's even easier to hear you (mentally) performing this at a poetry jam :) It's very nicely done, I'm slightly envious (which seems appropriate, after all).<br />And I am amused by how long it took you to get ready to go to a coffee shop. I don't think I would postpone a coffee for three hours!<br /><br /><b>Envy</b><br />Summoning Envy was difficult: it was one of the seven deadly sins, and embodying it had to be done carefully. Pick a body that was too weak, and Envy would break free, turning it into a jelly-like mush that would spread and spread, infecting everything it touched. Pick a body that wasn't sufficiently aligned – say a monk who'd forsworn earthly pleasures and temptations – and Envy would rip the body apart in disgust and evaporate back to whence it came. That was better, but you still had to clean up afterwards.<br />The body they had chosen this time was a young woman who'd chosen herself really; she'd be unable to resist the Apple iPad left temptingly on display on an empty desk in an unlocked office. As soon as she touched it she completed the spell-circuit and the summoning began.<br />"Joe?" Vince leaned in close to the leader of their little group. "What are we going to do when we've captured Envy?"<br />"Use it for marketing," grunted Joe.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.com
