Who is Legend?

"How would you rank my writing from one to ten Big C?"

"I'd give you a seven on word style. The problem lies with your lack of character development. You'd get a four on that."

"What do you mean?"

"Reveal more about your characters."

"Who do you want to hear more about?"

"Take Legend for example," with a smile on his face, "He's fifty two, thrice divorced & desires a three way with your pansexual therapist & her fiancee. He caught the winning touchdown pass in the state title game as well. You keep telling us the same thing over & over. Tell us something new about the man."

"Like what?"

"What's he do for a living?"

"He's in the family business."

"What's that?"

"Energy, construction & philandering."

"Where's he live?"

"He's a Texas resident via Kansas. The business moved down there a long time ago & he followed."

"How long have you known him?"

"Since the sixth grade."

"Did he go to Emporia State?"

"Yes sir, I roomed with him for a year."

"Wow, you really do know this guy. What is the one word you would use to describe him?"

"He is a scandalous bastard indeed."
