Mary and Will saw each other in the pharmacy. It had only been three days and Mary quickly averted her eyes and sped down the greeting card aisle to avoid Will but he was not to be deterred. He stomped after her defiantly.
"Mary. Hello. How are you?"
"Uh--fine. You?"
"How's James?" he asked, cutting straight to the point.
"James?" Mary shuffled nervously.
"Yes, James, you know? The little guy you dumped me for last weekend?"
"He died." Will was stunned like a prizefighter unsuspectingly pounded in the jaw and he was too confused to remain angry.
"He--what?"
"He died." Will suddenly stood up straight and tried to regain his righteous indignation.
"Uh huh. And when did that happen?"
"Um, about three hours after I dumped you."
"Really. Three hours."
"Yes." Mary took a breath and looked at the ground.
"That's rough."
"Thank you."
"So then," Will said, "are you seeing anyone...or what?"
Mary sighed. "No, I suppose not."
"Great!" Will said clapping his hands. "Let's go grab lunch, yeah?" Mary nodded, choking back sobs.

100 blogs in 100 days, day 33: Energy Drink Reviews
Day 33 of 100 blogs in 100 days goes along way to justifying the theory that there is truly a blog for everyone and everything, from Dan Mayer.
Hey,
You have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a personal stun gun site. It pretty much covers personal stun gun related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
I've been deleting these but this one is too good to take down.
Although seriously, why. This site is not popular.
