It’s not so easy for our brave, courageous hero to walk around with their great-grandmother’s lace croquet pillow and still look fearless.

That so totally made me laugh.

Okay, I think this topic merits reintroducing. 🙂

New thought on this. Sometimes, symbols can be used to actually tell the story.
Let me explain. I’ll use an example because I have no idea if this kind of… thing… has a technical term.
