FUZZ ORDANED: Sunset

     Unfirom, hands folded behind his back, was studying the crowd at the tennis court.  None of these came within the bounds of his assignment, but this changed sometimes after a single lob.      He felt a sense of foreboding, perhaps involving tennis, perhaps not.  Anyone who dealt regularly with phronik felt foreboding every fewContinue reading “FUZZ ORDANED: Sunset”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Peter and the Big Bad

     “Here!” He set his ice cream sandwich on the backrest of the bench.  Really, this woman was either the most clumsy or least lucky female in the city.  A trailing corner of that banner had blown up in the wind and wound around one ankle.  As she was busy pulling her other ankle freeContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Peter and the Big Bad”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Twilight

     “They always talk about remembering.”  Meadow Saffron took a double handful of flower petals and flung these after the couple moving along the sidewalk.      “It’s what we do,” Primrose told her.  “They won’t forget when WE help them Do It.  This one wasn’t so easy though.”      “It was fun.”  Bluebell shaped aContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Twilight”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Anna and Shannon

     Anna set her groceries down on the sidewalk first, and then let herself thump down on the bench.  She swept the back of one hand across her eyes.  Then she leaned back and crossed her ankles in front of her.      Anna Eleanor, she told herself, it’s a food thing your parents aren’t aroundContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Anna and Shannon”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Banners and Bakers

     “That was fun,” said Bluebell, tossing flower petals to the left and to the right, and then over her head.      Primrose, who was standing on her head to scratch an ankle with one hand, pointed an accusatory finger with the other.  “You said they were boring.”      Blubell nodded.  “That’s what it wasContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Banners and Bakers”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Bonbon and Beaufort

     Two people walked hand in hand, picking a careful path along the wet grass.  He was tall, with rather too much nose in the center of a long, bland face.  She was not so very much shorter, with tiny eyes, great big glasses, and an excess of chin.  The eyes of each were guarded,Continue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Bonbon and Beaufort”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Banner and Baker

     Little raindrops sprayed from little wings, but did not affect the petals the phronik tossed with abandon.  Meadow Saffron was the first to pause.      “Whoo!” she said, fanning herself with one petal.  “I thought for a long time we wouldn’t do it.  And they would.”      “The way she was treating him likeContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Banner and Baker”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Olivia and Griff

     Olivia took hold of her collar with both hands.  “It’s going to rain,” she stated.      “It’s not going to rain.”  Griffin shook his hair back.  “Besides, thunder and lightning will make it even better.”      Olivia’s lips pulled in.  Griffin realized that he’d have had a better chance if he’d said the secondContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Olivia and Griff”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Lilian and Schuyler

     Lilian’s eyes shifted left again, away from him.  She wished that just once she could walk somewhere without some guy deciding so small a woman would be easy to pick up.  And this was an especially unsavory specimen.  She shot him another quick look: he hadn’t shaved, he owned a potbelly which was puttingContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Lilian and Schuyler”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Twos and Twos

     Unfirom was not quite able to shudder.  As he strode across the park, the thought of the phronik trying to handle their job one at a time, though, brought him fairly close.  An attempt to influence lovers by less than the full crew would bring on a rush of lopsided emotion.  He reassured himselfContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Twos and Twos”
