Elizabeth believed that books required the proper setting for a good read. Though it was a tiring trek, she was currently reading The Old Man And The Sea by the sea. It would be nice to just stay home next to her freshly painted front door during her upcoming read – the screenplay for Behind The Green Door.
Anyone make it through that to the “punchline”? If so, how mad are you that you wasted so much time on it?

It won’t work. The male predators of the same species are way too sharp-eyed. Dim-witted, certainly, but sharp-eyed.
