Deleted Scenes From Frances Johnson

“First of all,” he said, taking her hand, striding forward, “this is our cap well, that’s obvious!” He laughed, somewhat embarrassed. “And these are our shoes.” The shoes were terribly long and shiny, with very large heels. Frances had difficulty looking at them.

“Then there’s the bullet vest, brand new and while this doesn’t always prevent a death, the key idea is that it may. Who knows is a gunman will aim for the neck, head, or chest?”

“I shouldn’t think anyone would shoot you at all,” she said. “Has it ever happened in this town? A shooting?”

“Oh, no,” Oran answered. “But if it does, I’ll be fine. After all, I believe in health, don’t you? I eat pretty well.”

“So do I, I supposed,” Frances answered.

“I urinate 15 times a day. There’s a good reason for that.”

“Here’s the grocery,” Frances said, since they were upon it.

Ohhhh, it turns out that Stacey Levine has a page of deleted scenes from her wonderful, little book!
