Endtown by Aaron Neathery for April 04, 2016

There she goes……lots of Vodka and pregnancy doesn t work well together.

Who wears a bowtie in his own home? Lyn should take a little snort of Holly’s vodka.

I wonder if there’s any resemblance to our own Veteran (outside the cigarette because I know he doesn’t smoke).;-D

The only good thing that we can say about Holly drinking while pregnant is that at least foetal alcohol syndrome doesn’t usually result from late-pregnancy consumption.But it still can’t be doing the baby any good.

The strain of getting more Vodka down!

Eagles. Why did it have to be Eagles? At least they are looking to their right. Links in profile.

Lyn: “Actually, go ahead and interrogate her if you feel you have to. Only one question – how good are you at ducking involuntary projectile vomiting?”

Actually, Ethel isn’t missing. She’s always been in the afterlife.

Okay, so Hollister is Holly’s married name, the one she kept even after Lyn was gone for several years.I’m guessing that she didn’t tell Lyn about her little tragedy with the Buddibombs.

Took them a week to get to Holly.Wheels of justice move slow in Endtown.Line of questioning…..Mrs Hollister….do you know anything about the whereabouts of Mrs Ethridge.No sir…..(chugs from the bottle) nothing at all.Are you sure ma’am you seem awful nervous….NO NO I KNOW NOTHING NOW LEAVE ME ALONE (chugs a bigger drink)Well MrSSSS Hollister no need to get HISSterical about this. We are SSSSSimply inveSSSSStigating her diSSSSSapperance and wanted to know if you knew anything. (officer keeps flicking his tongue out…dry lips)(Holly chugs the last of that bottle now going for broke with a bottle of good Tequila……burps loudly……) Nope nothing rings a bell…(passes out in the chair).Mr Hollister may you know anything……??(Lyn reaches for the bottle)

Officer: “Excuse me, ma’am. We just have to ask you a few questions. Strictly routine, you understand. Can you tell us what you know of the disappearance of one Ethel Ethridge?”Holly: “Snake!”Officer: “Yes, ma’am. And was there a reason you were seen running from the Ethridge home just before the explosion?”Holly: “Snake!”Officer: “I see. Just one last question, ma’am. Is there anything you would like to tell us before we leave?”Holly: “Snake!”Officer: “Thank you very much for your time, ma’am. And sir, I’d highly suggest you cut her off from the booze, then next time she comes up for air. That can’t be doing the baby any good.”Lyn: “Thank you, officer, for that timely bit of advice. The thought would never have occurred to me otherwise.”

Did anyone else notice the Elysium reference……the address.Also that was a pretty good blast…..knocked the plaster off the wall in the bedroom…….or the vision is eroding.

Now we’re starting to see what really happened to the baby. But we had to see everything that happened before to put this in proper perspective. Exellent story telling Aaron!

Please don’t smoke… There’s a soon-to-be baby in the house.

In memory of her friend, she’s drinking ethyl alcohol.

I take it from the presence of police at the Hollister home that the use of Buddibombs is not, strictly speaking, legal…

Ah, who needs a psychologist when you have BOOZE?! That’s always the smart choice, ESPECIALLY for someone who’s pregnant. And was previously armed with a dozen autonomous hand grenades.

It seems there’s not much empathy for Holly today. I know it’s there from all of us, but a little gallons, I mean gallows humor helps.

Generic Vodka? Neathery never heard of product placement? Maybe Holly should have the Grey Goose™ Vodka. Or maybe the Stoli® Gold.

You see someone you know turn into a repulsive reptile. Then the bombs she gave you happen to be on your person. They take on a life of their own, then they blow the snake friend up along with her innocent husband. Which part of that is something you can deal with? What world is this that you are bringing your baby into? There is no way to feel safe, no way to be protected…..

I don’t think Doc Chase prescribed vodka for her pregnancy…

That IS product placement. It’s vodka from Vodka, fine makers of vodka. “When you want vodka, you want Vodka vodka! We’re the first name in vodka!” She also has Whisky whisky, Rum rum, and Tequila tequila.

“The occupant, Ethel Ethridge, was missing. On the plus side, we did find some chicken nuggets. They were yummy. Mmm.”

I REALLY do not like Holly. Dump her for the lizard Wally, she’s less cold-blooded.
