Hookers and Hangers Blogfest -- Hangers

My entry for the Buccaneer Blogfest can be found here. And before I get to my Hangers, I'd like to say thanks for all the comments on my Hookers, I'm glad people enjoyed my first line. So now here are my hangers:

• I knew my best bet for getting her laid would be in a strip club where money came first and dignity was a distant second.

• She smiled at my sarcasm and bid me goodbye as I left her office and went back to the tenth floor and the folder of tasks I had to get cracking on.

• One, that I was among the small population of necromancers who carried the very illegal ability to reanimate the dead, and two that Micah was the only person who knew that.

• “My body is alive,” he said, blue eyes fixed on me as though he was willing me to believe him. “I’m just not the one walking around in it.”

• “Just don’t stand there and watch me sleep. It’s creepy…”

• Andrew just laughed, pulled me into his lap, and got me out of my underwear.

• Some girls had all the fun.

• But, you know, running around the city with Ethan in pursuit of his stolen body could be fun too.

• “I guess that’s a no.”

• It was Athena.

• Our relationship had changed yet again, but I had absolutely no idea what it had changed into.

• He held me for a little while longer and when we let go, he gently touched my cheek, then headed to his car.

• Imagine that.

• It was a beautiful moment among the chaos that had suddenly descended into my life.

• I pounded my fist against the closed elevator door and screamed, feeling angry and frustrated and devastated.

• Ghost Ethan was fighting his body jacker.

• He kissed me again, and we fell asleep with our arms tight around each other.

• He sighed and started up the car.

• “We need to head to the office. Now.”

• I would have laughed at her attempt to side with me under the fear that I’d do what Larry did, but this was one situation even I couldn’t find the humor in.

• Right now it seemed like all the roads only led to dark places.

• “Show me how you play this game, Ethan,” I said. “Yelling and cursing at it seems to have helped you these last few days. I want in.”
