I'm glad you found me and the meme. I had fun with it, too. Sandi, yours leaves me on quite a little cliffhanger... what will happen? I will have to read the book to find out. I love games like this.

I waited for my mother to interrupt me. She didn’t. “His name is… Silas,” I said, “but I call him Cowboy.” “Well.” I cleared my throat. “I wanted to tell you about my…friend.” My own choice of words surprised me at first, but then seemed right.

I doubt this mss will be 123 pages since it's poetry. And I'll give you a sentences/a few lines instead of a paragraph: Gone is my notion that each life eases into the world as one stream slips into another, waters meeting harmoniously.

Divorced, I gather, and fairly recently. Maybe she’s just getting her own back for something someone else did to her. Or maybe she’s out to make a name for herself as a hot crime reporter. You’re her ticket to a career, you know—she moves to a new town, takes a pissant job with the dinky local fishwrap, and suddenly she’s a celebrity, thanks to what happened to you.” Okay, okay:

But since I'm 23 pages shy of page 123, I'm taking my paragraph from page 23 of my WIP: “Jesus, Mother, he hasn’t been my Ralph for 15 years. But yes, that Ralph.” I paused. “Well, he’s dead, and it looks like he may have been shot with a .22 and Tom found a gun in my car, and now he’s taking me to the police station for some sort of interrogation and he suggested that I give you a call. Nice of him, wasn’t it?” The sarcasm dripped off my lips, and from the way Tom pursed his, it had not gone unnoticed. Okay, I’ll play.
