Claire Voyant was the strangest girl I ever dated. I couldn't keep anything from her. If I was going to blow her off to spend time with the boys, she knew. If I was going to surprise her with a weekend trip somewhere, she knew. It was like she could see the future. I tested that theory by taking her to the racetrack. We won over $200,000.00 that afternoon.

She left me one day, saying she couldn't bear to witness what was coming. She asked if I wanted to know. I told her I didn't.

Now...I just sit and wait.

    Not sure if this works. I wish I'd come up with that name when I was doing the last At The Bookstore drabble.

    It definitely works Christopher and works well. I’m now really worried about the narrator😥

    Thanks, Neville and Drew. And Drew, I've always done that.

    Someone would say "I've got to go to the store and get pizza dough."

    I'd say, "I used to go to school with him."

    They'd say, "Who?"

    And I'd say, "Pete Zadoh."

    I don't think my brain was standard issue.

    There are more indicators than that that my brain is an anomaly.

    I went to school with her, by the way.

    Thanks, Neville. Just random silliness on my part.
