Yesterday, I picked up this nifty shirt. Even when I'm not reading zombie stories, I have zombies on the brain! This morning I wondered what fictional character would wear this shirt. In 200 words or less, give me your best character profile.
Here's mine:
Curt James is 65 years old. A retired army officer and a
Korean War veteran, he likes to build military dioramas. Six one and wiry, with
tortoise shell glasses, he still catches the ladies’, even though he walks with
a slight limp from a skiing accident years ago. Who can resist his dreamy Elvis
eyes? Well, his ex-wife Marjorie could, but you can’t blame him for that;
twenty years of marriage and she’d walk out the door this last June, suspecting
him of having an affair. Really, he was training at a secret government
facility to head back to Korea where he’d been stationed during the first war.
Curt knows the terrible, dark secret the government has been hiding from the
public and he doesn’t like it – not one bit. But when his country calls him to
duty, he answers, even though the idea of cleaning up the army’s mess leaves a
sour taste in his mouth; he didn’t like hunting zoms the first time in Korea
and he wasn’t going to like it now.

hey, you gotta run with this character, he's great! And seems you're already onto a story. You'll have to hook up with my writing workshop hop some time too... So glad to see you back in action. Have missed you!
Am I the only one who thinks this wide range of emotional expression mimics Kristen Stewart’s emotional range as an actress almost verbatim.
I like this T-shirt were i can buy one?
I have homemade butaforie that helps me in writing!
