And it inspires me to invent an anti-claw, liver guard for just such occasions. Keep writing these nasty flash tales. This is so good, Karen.

I've met girls like Tessa on buses in london. Fortunately their diet of fast food and lack of vitamins means their nails snap off so they can't pull out our livers. This was a top story. marc nash men just say no! I’ve met girls like Tessa on buses in london.

I loved the way she mocked him, mocked Tom, Tom Anderson. And he, of course, too clueless to even notice. I also like that she seems to put some thought into who to choose for her victims, two-timing creeps seem preferable, though I do wonder what happened to two old ladies and the bus driver. ~jon On the city bus!

I loved her red talons - those are really, really sharp to reach in and pull out the liver. That is a good choice for an organ, no nasty ribs to get in the way, although it sounds like she might enjoy a few bbq ribs at times, too. Excellent writing! The tension level was perfect, I even got a little nervous. LOVE those jokes and details! Whoa, that was wicked!
