My thanks to Betty, Alex, and Bree each of which wrote one of the four final stories in the Liar's Club finals.
Did a deep virus scan in the morning which tied up my computer for two hours. I watched reruns of the Closer. In the afternoon we played two games of three handed canasta. For a change I won. Then I visited all my links and started looking at doors. Now I need a breathing treatment.

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.
Here are the four final Liar’s Club stories each using the ten words.

Bob Alder’s story:
Sandy walked slowly sucking on a popsicle stick and kicking the falling leaves. She was dreaming of going to Jamaica and eating caviar when the grizzly bear suddenly appeared. Instead of running she leaped at him feeling she was invincible. A feeling caused when she was working on the fusion reactor which exploded when the two-year-old laptop failed and the reactor exploded. Her delivery of the punch was right on and the grizzly fell to the ground stunned giving her time to get away.

Ailli Sorry’s story:
It was all because of the two-year-old .That’s what we called the mutant grizzly bear that lived with us at the research lab in Jamaica. Despite being very little he considered himself to be almost invincible and very smart. He wasn’t.either. Thinking that laptop that kept the fusion reactor safe was a phone he pulled it out. At the time he was chewing on a popsicle stick and eating caviar. That bear loved caviar. Wit no laptop that reactor exploded fusing Charlie into a popsicle stick with a caviar flavor and sending him , special delivery, through a hole in the ceiling. There the falling leaves buried him. Thus ending our mutant bear and our time in Jamaica.

Warren Woodstuck’s story:
It was the time of falling leaves in Jamaica. Our incredible, invincible two-year-old was playing fusion with the grizzly bear again. This time it looked like the grizzly bear was winning. That’s when the doorbell rang and there stood the delivery boy eating caviar on a popsicle stick, we don’t know why, but he had the long awaited laptop. The two-year-old jumped for joy. But the grizzly bear just growled because he knew they would never finish the game.

Jon Bergall’s story:
Falling leaves much to be desired he thought as he fell slowly from the top of the tallest building in Jamaica. His life flashed before his eyes or rather his almost deaths. There was the battle with the grizzly bear when the two-year-old opened the cage door.. Then the accident with the defective laptop that burned down the house. That was followed by the attempt by a former wife to poison him with a popsicle stick, not an accident that. Then infected caviar had hospitalized him but he survived. He even survived the delivery of a class two bomb but his front porch didn’t. Finally his survival of the accident with the fusion reactor convinced him he was invincible. But now the fast approaching sidewalk might be about to prove him wrong.
