"Oh, Cynthia," he said, his voice soft and crooning, as he drew her to his side. "You are the source of all my hope, my joy. You are my inspiration!"
She pushed her hand hard against his chest. "Gerald," she said. "You are a fool."
"Just a fool for you, my love."
"No Gerald," she said. "You are a fool in your own right. Go to your wife now, or else I shall."
This little scene was inspired by Sunday Scribblings number 224. The word was source.

What's in the Surge Bin?
Surge Bin is filled up mostly with my writing, and partly with my writing about my writing.
My writing is fiction, mostly. I believe fiction should be truthful. Not factual: that's non-fiction. Truthful fiction has true themes, true descriptions, and true characters. When you read it, you say, "Wow: that's true." I'm not saying I achieve this, but I do try.
