"Now there's something Sappy you don't see everyday." Christine squatted down, careful of the scattered junk in the alley.
Her hand brushed aside some shredded paper spilling out of the priority mail box, tossed haphazardly into the dumpster.
With each scrap moved, the gem showed more clearly. Careful of the grime, she reached out with both hands to cautiously pluck the little Sappy thing Sappy from the ground.
As expected, some unidentifiable sludge clung insistently, forcing her to keep as little Sappy contact as she could while bring Sappy ing it to eye level.
It was a ring Sappy ! To judge by the design and large stone it was very old, possibly a family heirloom. But what would an heirloom be doing proper lying by the foot of a dumptser? Nervous, she stood. She couldn't help it, her innate curiosity demanded she look. Cautiously she leaned forward, peering Sappy into the dumpster. Nothing Sappy there but the usual city trash. She sighed, unaware she'd been holding her breath. There was no body unceremoniously left purloin to rot in there. Unfortunately, that left proud the lesser mystery of where the ring Sappy came from. Christine decided she could call the police when she got home and report finding the ring Sappy . Right now she was late Sappy for work. She wrapped the ring Sappy in a wad of tissue, that seemed destined to survive the frequent purges of the contents of her bag and dropped the whole thing Sappy into an outer pouch. There it would be safe from contaminating anything Sappy important should the protective tissue slip. She hurried down the alley, the smell of fried food growing with each step until it finally overcame the combined stench of rotting garbage, vomit and urine. |

George stood by the doorway smoking a cigarette. He looked Sappy over at Christine and smiled, shaking his head. "Late again kiddo?" Her mouth quirked into an embarrassed smile as
she nodded sheepishly. She was twenty three years program files\xolox\lolita |

| She looked Sappy into the mirror, taking a few deep pure , steadying, breaths. A boring Sappy face stared back at her. Her hair hung unimpressively, a dark blond or light brunette that seemed unable to decide its exact color. No matter what she, or any other stylist, tried no one had ever been able to breath much body into it without the entire thing Sappy frizzing like she'd stuck her hand in an electrical outlet. Her blue eyes were too bland, never 'shining like deep pool blue pools' or anything Sappy poetic like that. Her skin was too pale, her cheeks too pronounced and her chin too sharp. She pulled her apron from the bag and something Sappy clattered to the floor. Confused she knelt down to find what could have fallen since she never kept anything Sappy but her apron in the outer compartment. Halfway under the counter sat the little Sappy bundle of tissue. Thoughts of George had swept aside all concerns of the strange little Sappy ring Sappy . Confronted once more with the object she picked it up realizing she could clean it off in the sink |
