Just For Fun

I’m a member of several online writing communities and just volunteered to help set up an “east side” subgroup of one organization. The main group likes a synopsis posted for each meeting. Too bad my sense of humor was acting up that night. Here is the synopsis I posted.


The St. Paul TC SF Writer Network meeting got off to a great start right after the fist fight between Janice and Jess ended. It turns out it was a good thing one of the restaurant patrons called 911. The EMT people answered some of our questions about medical procedures. Douglas and Ferone missed some of it, but Doug demonstrated the Heimlich maneuver, much to Ferone’s relief.Leanne came late so she didn’t need to have her stomach pumped like most of us. Matthew didn’t either because he had only swallowed one bite of the stuff. Mike stuck his fingers down Matt’s throat to take care of that. We thought Mike S. was being a bit of a drama king. His five stitches were nothing compared to what Zach had to endure.

Things had just about settled down and Amy give a vampire demonstration using her hubby for a “visual.” I don’t know what the restaurant staff was so worried about. It wasn’t anything a little soap and water couldn’t clean up. Besides, when the sprinkler system went off, it washed any of the splatter we had missed.

We did get some reviews in and decided to hold the next meeting at the same place, but maybe in a different room. Janice volunteered to bring her first aid kit. I promised that as soon as I got to the emergency room to have my ribs checked, I’d ask all the doctors if any of them were writers and invite them to the next meeting just in case.
