Tran Siberian
Lyudmila did not defy description. She was an easily lit, wide hipped, Stoli-drinking, schemer from Irkutsk that got her claws into an American riding the Iron Rooster from Khabarovsk to Moscow. Her voice was the prototype for the beautiful Russian spy in the recurring role that captivated Le Beau on Hogan's Heroes. It wasn't long before she was running girls in LA for Russian mobsters who had more chutzpah than cash. She could have been one of those girls just as easily but she was smart. Maybe too smart.

Six! Rad. The ending is killer.
Snappy. Very good.
great storyboarding. i can see this take off and come to life off the page.
i give the fav partly in recognition of the piece's inherent blackness, hoping that the star might calm you down. or perhaps it is me that needs to be calmed down ... lyudmila might just hover over my dreams.
JHank - Thx bud. come down to earth.
AJ - I love snappy.
F2 never cross a rusky babe.
I enjoyed this on a number of levels, Michael. Great compression. I like it.
sam - ta backatcha.
Like this one a lot. I had to read it a few times not because I didn’t get it but rather because it’s so smooth it goes by much too fast. It’s got lots of style and attitude packed into a small number of words.
Christian - high praise from U buddy!
Great opening line! It both encapsulates and liberates what comes afterward.
I enjoyed it a lot. i'm hoping that you add on so I can quench my thirst for more!!
Great stuff, Michael. Like a Tommy Gun to the chest, each word battering through the page.
Tis a lesson in how it should be done, this one.
Briliant.
