| Its Been A While |
|
Since I’ve written. I think I gave up a little bit, back in April, when I was departing for a 2–week international work trip, attempting to hire a new writer at my job, and (frankly) just feeling overwhelmed. I had intended to post a notice announcing a break – a long break or a short break I didn’t know –but failed to even deliver that. So let this announce a break. I’m on a break. Hopefully (given that I enjoyed reading a bit about Danny just now.....) I’ll be back sooner than I think. |

| Y8: Yowl (there is no W) |
|
From V8: The next morning he woke ravenous, the sugary sludge in his mouth a tease for what was to come. And on his second shift, he turned up the volume again. Danny tore through the restaurant, racing past his trainer and showering every guest with smiles and jokes and a hand run down the back. His eyes felt glittery, like diamonds. His heart and stomach raced. The coffees (three sugars) and Cokes (free refills!) powered him to a sick degree – when he bumped another trainee and was told to "chill out," he yowled like a junkyard cat over a tossed bone. |

| V8: Volume |
|
From U8: Danny hadn’t been so furiously focused in a long time. He thought about nothing other than food, food, food. If another thought crept in, he found something salty or sugary to push it down. The next morning, he woke ravenous, the sugary sludge in his mouth a tease for what was to come. And on his second shift, he turned up the volume again. |
