Indigo: It's been a rough week.
Garren: I've never seen so much Kleenex usage...and they don't even burn it afterwards.
Indigo: There's no fireplace...
Garren: We don't need a fireplace...
Indigo: Yes, we do.
Garren: Anyways...fireplace or no, everyone here is sick...
Indigo: The boys aren't.
Garren: Trent WAS sick and I don't count the brother.
Indigo: Why not?
Garren: He doesn't play with me.
Indigo: That's because you won't play his video games with him.
Garren: I have no THUMBS!
Indigo: (chuckling) OK...Garren and I have agreed to take today's blog post because the girls are all sick.
Garren: Don't forget the zombies...
Indigo: There ARE NO ZOMBIES!
Garren: Jane Austen says there is.
Indigo: We've explained that to you over and over. The zombies were added in by someone else.
Garren: There ARE ZOMBIES...just look at the cover...
Garren: It SAYS it's by Jane Austen.
Indigo: But the zombies were added in by that Seth guy listed on the cover with her.
Garren: (staring at the cover) Are you sure?
Indigo: Positive. Just go ask Roni. She'll explain it again.
Garren: But Roni's cranky when she's sick.
Indigo: (shaking his head) Remember, in this world, there are fiction and non-fiction books.
Garren: That still weirds me out. Why write down something that's not true?
Indigo: For entertainment.
Garren: There's too much to remember here.
Indigo: You'll get used to it.
Garren: Are you used to it?
Indigo: No, but I take things at a slower pace than you do.
(Garren lets smoke trail from his nostrils.)
Indigo: Don't you have a new friend?
Garren: LINUS! How could I forget!?
(Garren dashes from the room.)
Indigo: Our caramel-corn bearing friend brought us a stray baby dragon...Garren has adopted him as a baby brother...
Garren: (holding up a sleepy baby red dragon) Here he is!

| Linus |
Indigo: Yes, Garren. He's adorable. And less trouble than you are...
Garren: Hey!
(Indigo giggles.)
Garren: Fine. If you're going to be that way, I'm going to go get Linus up to speed on Sense and Sensibility.
Indigo: Sounds like a good idea to me. But we have a blog post to do first.
Garren: You do it.
(Garren and Linus go to the couch and sit together with the book.)
Indigo: Well, since I've lost Garren to a previous century, I guess there won't be much of a blog post this week. Not much reading has been going on here. Mostly nose blowing and sleeping. So Roni and Stacey will be back next week with updates on their Advent with Austen reading. Meanwhile, I'm going to go listen to Garren reading to Linus. Have a good week and stay well.
