A psychological thriller that plays like a cautionary tale about being neighborly. The movie is about two couples, each expecting their first child, and a dinner invite that sets off events leading to a chilling end. Set in England, the film stars Clémence Poésy, David Morrissey, Stephen Campbell Moore and Laura Birn.

Spare your staff,
Hold your curses,
Let me take half
Of your silken purses.
I’m just a lowly citizen
With mouths to feed
By the dozen;
My reason is not greed.
Allow me to go free
Leave you to your rest
All I ask you to agree
Is to let go of that treasure chest.
50 Word Story Collaboration: Jerome
This story I wrote below is posted in SlasherMonster Magazine; I expanded Poet Rummager‘s 50-word story, Jerome (the first 50 words).
She had a long day at work and couldn’t wait to go home and just look into Jerome’s eyes. She smiled, entering the apartment.
“Honey, I’m home!”
She walked over to a cupboard and took out a jar. She stared into it, and Jerome’s eyeballs, suspended in formaldehyde, stared back.
Three Days Earlier
Stella mesmerizes Jerome with her open-topped sandwich. He loves to eat, and Stella makes sure she gives him a sandwich every day to keep his interest.
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” Stella recalls her mother saying to her. Since she locked eyes with Jerome’s periwinkle blue twinklers over two months ago at an all-employee staff meeting, she’s committed herself to winning him over everyday in the lunch room.

Fated to find a new world
To be conquered
Land ho!
Much to see, o!
Round up the bands
Of natives and their lands
Create new brands
Under the explorer’s commands
‘Tis a new world order
With a rebound border
Survival of the fittest
Along with a long list
Of those willing to enlist
To put up their figurative fist.
So Quote Me . . .
A belated THANK YOU to Thumbup for nominating me months ago to participate in the 3-Day Quote Challenge a Day. To be more specific, it was a couple of weeks after the 4th of July (so I’m not that late). With Halloween-tinged trickery, I deliberately applied malapropism to three well-known sayings:
“When the groin gets tough, apply lotion to it.”
— Mr. Magoo (a cartoon character who has extreme myopia)
——————————————————–
“Keep your hands close and your enemas closer.”
— Book of Toilet Dilemmas (a rear book)
——————————————————-
“Two bongs won’t win the fight.”
— Chee [a Cheech-wannabee]

El Niño
Gone loco,
Upset La Niña,
So no buena.
Category four
A lethal score,
Mother Nature,
Such a player.
Making waves
Like mad raves.
That’s her way,
We get no say.

Session gone awry,
Embittered spirits disturbed,
Rampant possessions.

Gems sprinkled throughout
Grace undercover at times,
Expressions of love.
