500 Words XXXIII - Story Time

This week's sentence was taken from James Ellroy's 'The Big Nowhere'.

It was:
'Claire chain-smoked and drummed her nails on the dashboard.'

We have two Claires for you to meet this week (so far … any others are welcome to join the Claire-a-thon).

Adonia's 'Part IV: Haddy C. McPherson'


Ah, Haddy Claire … From scary old lady to someone suddenly warm and real. Lovely writing, Adonia.



Dive's 'Claire'


Goodness knows where this came from. I suddenly realised when Adonia sent me her story that it was Thursday afternoon already and I'd not written a thing, so please forgive the unedited stream of consciousness of a ten minute, type-it-and-run job.


And also please forgive the weird font sizes my posts have started coming in. I don't seem to be able to do anything about that. Hey ho.

It's you who's awesome, Adonia, for actually writing the stories.
Now I must try to find a sentence for tomorrow.
