Misfits 1: A snippet of Ed

excerpts, writing

As I was working through my final read of Misfits 1 (before sending it to the proofreader), this made me smile:

Ed was perched on the edge of Tony’s desk, looking as though he was contemplating leaping off to get to me. He was wearing what appeared to be a tiny pirate hat on his head. I peered closer. The hat had been meticulously folded out of a bubblegum wrapper and secured with an elastic band.

“Tony,” I groaned.

Tony swiveled, glancing at Ed, then at me, grinning. “He likes it.”

  9. Love Mory and Ed. I remember making paper pirate hats with my kids when they were little, they had fun with them so I think Ed might like them too 😁

  11. I’m going to get a turtle and I’m going to name him Ed. I will tell everyone he is “undead”.
