Click hereIf you love someone, learn CPR. I hope you never have to actually use it. However, if you do, saving someone else's life with CPR is a terrifying but profound experience. I've had that privilege and it has made me a better human being. CPR guidelines do evolve over time, so your CPR class may teach you a slightly different sequence than that used by my main characters.
While you're at it, learn to use an AED. As this story suggests, all you really need to know is to push the power button. The AED will then tell you everything else you need to know. AEDs are a great blessing. If one of your gathering places doesn't have one, pass the hat among your pals and donate one to that venue.

I plead guilty to often opting for all allowable alliteration in my tales. Anytime I think I might be going a bit overboard on it, I recall Ariel’s line in Shakespeare’s Tempest, where she says:
\
“Full fathom five thy father lies…”
\
“Your old man’s carcass is 30 feet under in the lake” would work, but lacks the sheer poetry of the Bard.
\
I suppose that a modern rapper might choose more modern terms:
\
“Dude, your dead dad’s a decameter down…”

I’m a big fan of Mark Forsyth’s “The Elements of Eloquence”, a hilarious compendium of rhetorical devices that one can use to create memorable phrases. I read it with some despair, and realize that I have barely begun to scratch the surface of the rhetorical possibilities…
Jalibar623 months agoGreat opening line! Could have been anything from a matronly woman seeing a mouse to a werewolf attack!
High-quality canoodling! Nice! And also, nice alliteration ;)
Personally, I think “boink” is underrated, as a euphemism…
It was good to see Chris and Roxanne again. Hopefully not for the last time!
Anonymous3 months agoRe your advice in your afterword - I'm trained in senior / high level first aid and the use of AED's as well as asthma relief.
