     The Story The Authors
Settling in below the bumper of the last car at the last row of the lot, trying to make herself look at once small and inconspicuous and large, imposing (a girl can't be too careful these days), she set herself to work.

Bitzy was not a smart girl. She had never claimed to be. Which was probably a good move on her part, considering the blonde roots continued to show despite repeated dousings with Clairol's #43 (Golden reddish-brown, Clairol makes too much money to be creative with names these days).

But what she really wanted was some hard liquor. Almost giving up, she found herself near the shelves of dental hygiene products. Grabbing a bottle of green mouthwash, she read the label outloud: "SD-Alcohol 40. Must mean 40 proof! Hotdog!" She ran to the counter, threw exact change down on it, and ran out the door in triumph. Without another moment's hesitation, she popped open the child-proof cap and guzzled the mouthwash down. She made a funny face and smacked her lips. "That was weird.
