Urania cleared her throat. Typist had mindfully swallowed a little white allergy pill this morning, but it was taking its sweet time to kick in. “She said a lot more than ‘no’ actually… and it was a big step because she did it tactfully, without guilt, and now we can share what she learned.”
Have you read The Awful Truth about the Sushing Prize by Marco Ocram? (If you haven't, you should. It's a fantastic way to explore a different writing style.)
Here's an excerpt:
“You know what I mean, Como. You should have been busted down to patrolman for what happened on your watch, even if I did trigger it, and yet the Mayor gives you more money. Doesn’t that tell you why I’m surprised by you standing there saying ‘what d’you mean “what have I got?”?’?” Yes! Three separate question marks in a row. Surely a first in literature. If that doesn’t impress the Nobel Prize committee, then my name’s not Marco J Ocram.
Great timing here Gail! In a conversation yesterday with my daughter, she shared a quote. "No is a complete sentence." In other words, no explanation is needed.
Sometimes I hate myself when I don't have the courage to just say no.

I was thinking, “Aw! Karen would be so proud!” And then you tagged her! Made my morning. 😊😊
