Speed

“Met a girl last night who said she’d show me a good time,” said Sparra.

“I guess for that,” remarked Crow, “you’ll need a sea-saw.”

“We’re bridging a gap in the industry,” announced Sparra, “by weighing tiny objects most scales won’t register.”

Purge

Crow slid a small glass of warm water to Sparra. “No coffee for you while you purge the toxins from your body.”

“I know,” cried Sparra, “But what’s this? A depresso?”

Lunged

“It’s rare to see a 300-year-old spirit exercising so energetically,” remarked Sparra.

“That’s a big step,” replied Sparra.

Deathly Earnings

She unrolled the ransom note. “£300,000 or we sacrifice your husband to Ix Chel.”

She patted the deathly creature on the head and gave it a pig’s ear. She’d earned it, she thought, as she fed the note into the paper shredder.
