     Say, Ben,

     What’s awp?

     American winged persons
     Archangel Wilfred Penthouse
     Animal weeping post
     Anchoring willing participants
     Ashes writing prose
     Ambulance witness protection
     Abacus working pachyderms
     Aberrant warbling people
     Absinthe wallowing padrones
     Absolution wackos palpitating
     Atheists working palimpsests

     Oh boy.
     I’d better stop now.

         Ben,

         I don’t like cotton candy, but I think it’s pretty as long as you don’t touch it.

   Is this going to be an on-going series? Please say yes. I can’t make it to the first one, but will definitely attend in the future if the literary experience will be a regular thing!
