Splash Page:  “You are expected for lunch,” Goliath repeated, but Joe dropped the ice pack, crossed his arms defiantly and refused to move.

Finally the big man sighed; he really did hate teenagers, particularly obstinate ones like this one.  “You can walk or I can carry you.  But you are expected for lunch and my employer detests tardiness.”

“Yeah, well, so does my girlfriend, and I think this is way past ‘tardy’,” Joe didn’t even mention how his brother or parents would feel – tardy Hardys were never a good sign….

Two minutes later though, when he was picked up and slung over the giant’s shoulder with all the grace of a screaming two-year old, Joe realized he had much more trouble than just tardiness…

Much, much more….

Special Notes:  None that I can think of…
