(Glossary at end.)
The slicked-backs go first class while I got me an aisle cushion for an in-a-flash vanishing act. I check and I’m bundled next to a little ol’ gray-hair in Michael Kors studded high tops. No spook or mob job here. I pop a dream-maker and I’m on my way out before we take off.
I’m hallucinatin’ green pastures and English castles when my dough loaf gets a poke. I force one looker open and there’s a purrbox on my tray table—with its clawholder on my blower. And the little ol’ wrinkly on my left looks like a hood from Chi. Got trouble but can’t fight the snoozers. The ol’ gray matter blacks out; my oglers and headpiece shut down, and I return to la-la land.

Sammy’s in trouble now. Those dream makers will do every time. Looking forward to seeing how he gets out of this one.
Hopefully, intact–I’d miss him!
oh oh, you just gotta watch the wrinkly ones. I got almost all of it except for a couple. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Particularly beware of wrinkly, gray-hairs who are in collusion with hoods from Chi–trouble every time! Glad to hear Sammy’s speak is mostly intelligible–playing with it is fun for me.
It’s fun for us readers also!
I work in chi….. Sammy watch out for them hoods!
glad to see him back!
Thanks, Bill–he’s glad to be back (and is anxiously hoping for news of Reaper’s escape).
Sammy is like that neighbor kid who’s a senior when you are in Jr high. Always cool and in control of every situation.
Nice to see you, Sammy.
Good to be back–now get me off this plane!

Sammy says you’re a natural!
Super charming. Well done with the colloquialisms! Dialect! Meow-talk. k.
I like the word ‘purrbox’
