Babies love her
And so. Like. I miss Ala. She picks at bites and acts like a perpetual wreck, always frantic about what might happen. So like, you can't find her on Facebook because she's worried about being serial killed. But when real shit hits a real fan no one is calmer or more immediately capable. So like, she once drove through a crosswalk without looking and almost hit a guy who then kicked her Subaru Forrester in the side, denting the door panel. And she said to him: “Must suck to have to walk everywhere.”

not sure if this does anything for anyone but me--a story made out of an old friend who couldn't walk through a restaurant without every kid in the place twisting around in their high chairs trying to get a glimpse of her. weird.

"And she said to him: “Must suck to have to walk everywhere.”
this is like, like a really good finish.
That is cool bananas!
Fun piece. Real voice driven. Enjoyed
Great ending here!
you folks are sweeties.
This was fun to read. I enjoyed!
How do I love this line?
"..she is worried about being serial killed."
with few words, you establish this character well. A childhood friend of mine is exactly like this, seemingly contradictory traits make the whole person
Just the right chords of familiarity to make this really entertaining and, well, true.
I love this! The voice is really strong and I wouldn't change a thing or make this longer. It's a perfect snap of the finger.
Love tension and play in this. I read your note and stuck your title as the last line, made the title And So. to see what that added, ending on something benign rather than starting with it, because what is in the piece is that the N misses her, so I'm wondering, where did she go?
