Day 85: Bailey and [ ]

Bailey's telling of the valise and Eli's journal doesn't match what [ ] thinks she knows. Today's 100-word story from Living Well Towers.

85: Bailey and [ ]

- She was fixated on that red valise, Rebecca.

- We thought YOU found it.

- No -

- Didn’t you grab Eli’s journal from it, before you ran off to drink and smoke with girls on cruise ships?

- No. Well, yes. We talked about it, the valise and the journal.

- So you knew about Steve Reich?

- What? Who?

- Post-modern master of repetitive noise making music? Music for 18 Musicians? Music for Six Marimbas? Pulses?

- Is THAT what you got from his journal? 

- When did you swap it with Ruth for that photo of Eli you think is you?

- I didn’t give it to Ruth.
