Dear
Mrs. C.,
I'm
sure Alex's beautiful description of marriage in CassaFire was born
from his relationship with you. You're a special lady, and I'd like
to thank you for letting him do so much for us!
I
don't know what Alex looks like physically, but to me he looks like
generosity, selfishness, giving, and integrity.
Alex
reminds me of my math and bandmate, Bill. He didn't play guitar, but
he rocked a mean bass clarinet.
Give
Bill Pullman dark hair, he's Alex. Though I'd rather see Alex played
alive. Still not adjusted to zombies.
****** Even Awesome Ninja Captains Sometimes Need the Help of Friends*******
Ninja
Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh wakes suddenly from a deep sleep. He's got
his guitar still in hand, and his head on the keyboard. Visiting all
the IWSG folks who rely on his group-building strengths has left him
tired. “Just 20 more blogs...I can do it he mutters,” putting
down the guitar. I CAN do it. All by myself! I'm a Ninja!
Then
he pauses. Byron needed help. He needed a friend. Sometimes
Awesome Ninja's do, too. Time to enlist some help!
Two
new co-hosts are recruited. Soon Alex heads to find Mrs. C, and as they
fall asleep, he's piloting his Cosbolt, new navigators at the ready.

Good job! Those were nice remarks you left for Mrs. Cavanaugh.
Alex's generosity and selflessness is legendary!
You know, I was kinda thinking the same thing when I read CassaFire. Makes me wonder if my relationship has effect my stories in the same way, I hope. Thanks for participating! :)
So, so, SO fun! And such a lovely tribute---I can definitely see the dark-haired Bill Pullman...
Sweet tribute!!!

I love. LOVE your description of Alex and what a touching comment to Mrs. C. So much great positive energy in this blogfest. :)
I like the way you worked it all into a letter to the Mrs.. Nice touch. And yep, everyone needs a little help sometimes, even awesome ninjas :)
Enjoyed reading through your flash piece. It made me smile!
I can't get to 20 at a time. I'm totally stumped how Alex gets to hundreds at a time.
Enjoyed your tribute.
Wonderful tribute to Alex! Fun that you wrote it as a letter. :)
Awesome tribute to a great friend. Loved it!
