That was great! The misdirection, the confusion and uncertainty over the identities of these two, the contrast of Jonathan the plant-grower loving Martha the plant-killer, cooker, and eater - excellent! Your muses are taunting mine now, and I'm not sure mine will accept this state of affairs. I may have to finish that Halloween-type story just to get them out of my head.
Keep writing! You are one of the best!
Wow! Thanks for the high praise, Terry! Glad I could keep up the mystique for you. I'll be quite pleased if my muse gives yours a little shove. All muses need a good kick to the rear-end every once in a while. I do hope yours finishes your fic for you!
