Anytime, Anywhere by Shannon McKenna

I've been waiting for another MacNamara story ever since I read Meltdown in Bad Boys Next Exit, years ago. Anytime, Anywhere is a good novella, don't get me wrong, but I think I was expecting more. Robin was a little shaky in the beginning, but she really came into herself at the end. Jon was a typical McKenna alpha hero, someone who forces you to like him, even though you might be wondering why you're in his corner. I felt the emotional connection between Robin and Jon a little lacking. She's had a thing for him for fourteen years.

Spooktacular: E.C. Sheedy starts something scary… You get to finish it!

October 29, 2007

mistress-edna.jpgSybil said I can play at Halloween, and I thought, what I'd really like would be good scary Halloween story. But I'm too lazy to write more than the beginning, so I decided to do my bit, and see if any of you talented writer/readers could chip in a few words. Go wherever you want, be silly, be scary, be whatever you want, just help out little Mary Sue . . . please.

So I'll start the story, and your comments will take it to the next place.  Each comment progressively changes the story.  By Wednesday afternoon, we should have something pretty entertaining to read.

Here goes:

It was a dark and stormy night and Mary Sue was heading into it. It was Halloween! She'd get candy if it killed her . . .

She'd been in this rotten orphanage for five years, ever since she was six, with not so much as a Snickers bar. Heck, even talking about Halloween was against the stupid rules. The way Mary Sue saw it, it was now or never.

candy.jpgShe even had a costume.

Okay, it was the sheet from her bed, and it wasn't very ghostly, a stupid pink color... so last week!... and covered in green alligators, but no one could see her. That's what mattered. No way she wanted anyone yakking about her being on the street after dark. It was eight o'clock now, and she planned to be back by nine with no one the wiser. All she had to do was get out of here without Black Bonnie, the headmistress, gettin' in her face. Mary Sue shuddered when she remembered what the Black B had done to Mitzi when she'd forgotten to put the stupid cap on the toothpaste... Jeez! But she wasn't going to think about that, and she wasn't going to get caught either.

She took her pillow from its slip and tossed it over her skinny shoulder. She could almost taste the candy hoard now...

**But how in heck was she going to get out of the house?**weeny-pumkin_duck.jpg
