Clockwork (Joe, Linus, Margo, Sammy)
The family sits around the white dinner table enjoying the dry chicken without sauce, the noodle casserole with the hard noodles, and the strawberry rhubarb pie filling served in a bowl for its juices would slosh off a plate. The boy is still swinging his feet back and forth, brushing his toes against the underside of the table. He grabs the steak knife off of the plate to his right and hurls it towards his grandfather. His mom sees the knife fly across the table and begins to crack up, laughing so hard that her eyes water.

This is not my group, but I figured I would share my initial reaction to this piece: who used circle game in their story?!?! I love circle game. We sing it at camp; its probably my favorite camp song. And now it is irrevocably stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time connecting the two strands of the story, especially with the end with Gail and the girls.
