that's a lot of bandwidth

[threeplusfire]

diepunyhumans.com just hit its bandwidth limit, it seems. Which means I've done at least 5 gig in traffic in 24 hours, I can't be arsed to do the calculations right now.

We broke the internet again.

In case you're curious, here is my piece as seen on Ellis' site. When it comes back up later, go check out the other stories.

Glass in one hand, she leaned back against the fridge. Rain thumped from time to time against the window. Marcus sat still, watching her from a kitchen chair. Anna returned his gaze, conscious of the watery shadows.

"Sometimes I wish you didn't follow me around," she said quietly.

Marcus shrugged.

"You have your uses."

"What do you want?"

"A trip to the desert," Marcus hissed.

"You can do your own breaking and entering just fine I'm sure." Anna turned away and set the glass down carefully inside the cabinet. Her fingers brushed over metal and wood.

"But you know exactly where we are going, and that makes it ever so much easier." Marcus' voice was sharp in her ears.

"I've told you, I don't do that anymore."

"This time you do," he interrupted. "You want to see what's inside just as much as I do."

He didn't even have the grace to look surprised when she pulled the trigger. That bothered Anna more than anything else about the whole business.

oh, do you still have that Ambrose Bierce book? :)

I think so yes. I should probably reorganize my bookshelves. I was going to take some books down to Half Price and sell them just to get enough scratch to buy a new one to read. So I'll wrap it up and bring it down for you.

OK. If you come by today I will try to wrap up some hot peppers like I promised, and also see if I can't dig up a HPB coupon or two for you. :)

I'm sposed to be there 2-10. I am planning on going in but keep in mind I've been late a lot lately.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Alright, we'll probably swing by later on in the afternoon, early evening.

Oh, I also go to lunch from 5-6pm so if you show up then I might or might not be there.
