Date: Tue, 7 Oct 1997 15:55:30 -0500 From: Phanny Subject: INT: Writers Party - The Arrival Phanny squints into the sun at the distant cruise ship. "Look! I bet summa the writers are on that ship." The pigtail macaque blinks large soulful eyes at her and hops slowly around in the sand. Phanny takes the critter's hand and continues, "You know, writers come and go in the oddest ways around here..... I expect you'll get to see Bugs Bunny even! Let's go check the transporter again and see if anyone has materialized yet." Off they go, the monkey skipping up and down, trying to swing like a kid, toward the cluster of thatch/woven roofed bungalows. Phanny picks a large red flower and puts it in her hair. The blue, water-printed pareo around her waist sways, the tiny figures in the gauzy cloth seeming to dance. She wears nothing above the waist but the phlower, but decides she should go put on the coconuts-and-twine for arriving guests. Every bungalow has fresh flowers on the table on a small deck. Inside are laptops for each guest, as many will be writing while they vacation and party here. Phanny
