Romulan Cloaking Device
Gerry, always a big Star Trek fan, saw some real benefits to the Romulan Cloaking technology, and as a proponent of developing local technology, decided to try to combine the systems. It was a work in progress . . .
Alligator Shoes
Elizabeth had heard about alligator shoes for years and finally thought it might be time to buy some. The problem was where? If she bought them online, they might not fit right, or they could be from China and made with questionable materials, but she just couldn’t find anything at the mall that would fit or look good in any kind of material. One snotty young shoe store clerk with spiky pink hair, enough metal ornamentation in piercings to start her own metal recycling business, and earbuds so loud that Elizabeth could hear the hip hop boom and percussion from ten feet away sneered, “Looks like you’re stuck with flip flops, girl”. . . . . .

Skin Tags
On the phone, Claudette’s doctor had tried to reassure her: “Don’t worry, everybody gets skin tags, no big deal.” However, when she came for her annual check-up, he grew somewhat more concerned.. . . . David, Sf.G.
Sneak Peek
Leonard wasn’t big on surprises. He wasn’t a fussy eater, but he wanted to know what it was that was on the menu before dinner; just a little sneak peek before chowing down. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Rough Skin
Ellie had had a patch of very rough skin for some time and asked her dermatologist about microdermabrasion to solve the problem. The doctor, still unsure how she would get paid with the new healthcare law going into effect, suggested a cheaper alternative–Go to Home Depot and get the biggest, most powerful belt sander available . . . .

Lost
Bruce had just appeared one day and taken up duties as resident alligator. For months he could be seen, and if not in sight, a stone chunked into the pond alerted him that someone was looking for him. Then, overnight, he was gone. The sheriff had them file a missing gator report, an Amber alert was posted, he even got his picture on milk cartons, but he was gone. Some speculated that the lure of big money in the West Texas Oilfields or maybe the North Dakota oil jobs had been too much to resist. . . . . David, Sf.G.
