the Unexpressed Advantage

This is Peachy, and a good way to replace the previous article as the headliner, seeing as how it doesn’t seem to be getting a very enthusiastic response (although I did get some very interesting emails about it, if you want to know more, just ask).

Here’s a little conversation I had with Joash and Wendy. We were out for a late walk around the neighborhood when we came up to the top of a hill next to the fire station. At the bottom of the hill a firetruck, with lights flashing, was parked in the middle of a busy street. There was a girl sitting next to the firetruck, she appeared to be smoking. We stood atop the street staring at the fire truck for a few minutes, in the midst of a serious conversation but occasionally bouncing back into simple chatter.
