      Since I took "O" I had to make up a word for it. I rather liked odious, LOL. It took me a while to come up with the prehistoric cockroach bit :)

      You must be winging it, Sandra. A pantser, eh? It takes me way to long to think stuff up so I'm always a plotter ;)

    Odious is a great word and I really want to know what this creature is now. Or maybe I don't LOL. Poor Marley.

    I love the word odious. It rolls off the tongue so well.

    That little excerpt has me intrigued to know what happens next.
