The New Mothers of Invention – #12 Touch Tones – S07

My mother, who looks like she might be in need of a plastic bucket to vomit in, is reaching in her purse and taking out medicine and I hope not bad pills. Whatever they are, she’s washing them down with Coca-Cola, and Tina’s watching, too, as the pills disappear by the handful.
Tina’s eyes meet mine for a moment, as she sips her drink, and leans closer into Bette. They love each, it’s so obvious, and my mother looks beautiful, but dying – ever so slowly.
”Shane, should you be drinking tonight?” Tina looks at me with a warning. ”Aren’t they taking tissue from your liver tomorrow to test for a good match?”
”What does testing my DNA, and something called gene panels, have to do with alcohol?” I punctuate with a swig of my Lone Star beer.
Alice barks a laugh, ”You may be the only person in LA who’s never been to a 12 step meeting.
”I haven’t,” Bette offers proudly, ”Although Kit’s invited me plenty of times.”
”Do what you want, I say,” my mother chimes in with what I can see on Tina’s face is registering as the kind of guardian she might have been had she stayed around, had a thousand things gone differently, had she not been a drug addict all my life.
”So, let me get you all straight, because my daughter’s postcards are usually just a few lines scrawled. You’re the ones she has breakfast with every morning? What does that make you? A book club, a coffee klatch, some kind of women’s group?”
Alice cocks her head up and stares into the antler chandelier above our table. ”This is hardly the 50’s. Do you know anything about Shane’s, uh-mm, life?”
The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar – Tina
”Bette,” I whisper, as the waitress hands around menus that are printed on the backs of Wild West Wanted Dead or Alive posters.
”They had the greatest outlaw names,” Bette says admiring the old photo of ”Deadeye” Rick Malloy. ”Look at this guy, damn! He’d scare me to death if he walked in here right now.”
”Most of them had syphilis, and the spirochetes had corkscrewed through them.” Alice taps the side of her head. ”Swiss cheese. Gooey, mushy brains, if you can imagine.”

Anything that is headed with a photograph of my favourite woman and the next photograph my favourite couple is fine by me. Add some great writing and superb story telling and it can’t get better.
Part 3 soon please BB :)
Pat, you’re a dear! I had a feeling you’d like this one! If you drop back by, please hit the stars ranking button at the top of the story. I think with the new design of this site it helps readers find my writing.
Ah, I loved writing the long opening windmill of Bette’s musings. Being in her head amuses me completely.
Okay, Wanted: Dead or Alive posters are in the story, and now for the Showdown!
I’ll figure it out tomorrow while I’m swimming. — Blackbird

Hello, to the new members, and hello again, to all the longtime L Word fanfiction readers who know me. I’ve had an email today from a reader who was excited about my book, Touch Tones, that is my vision of Season 7. It’s pretty cool. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Anyway, back to the email from earlier today, the fan asked me where my WeHo: Behind the Scenes book was on LesFan.com. She said she couldn’t find it. I created this list below.

And for the moment we’re up to date.
With that mission accomplished I will add a note of encouragement to LesFan’s readers, all writers enjoy, appreciate and are otherwise encouraged to write more fiction for you to enjoy, so tell us – even it’s just a dash of a note, or some line or joke, or amusing scene you particularly enjoyed – it’s nice to know what readers think.
Enjoy yourselves out there! Blackbird aka @BlackbirdWrite
I’m soo happy to read your story again! It’s darn too long for my liking
Anyway, Sue Ellen is kinda…A bit homophobic? ..
I mean, “Fake straight women?” Really?! ….
Good thing that Bette is a bit mellow now..
If not? …hehehe
Thanks for the updates Blackbird
Hope to see more of your stories
