Kempt Arrangements
A look at Richard and Hyacinth Bucket from the TV show "Keeping Up Appearances". Hyacinth has found something new to fret about, and drags Richard into the discussion - if by discussion you mean she talks and he listens. I don't own these characters, and this story literally has no plot.Keeping Up Appearances, K, English, Humor, words: 2k+, favs: 1, follows: 1, 19h

Peachy Carnehan and Daniel Dravot were two adventurers that journeyed to a foreign land in the 1975 film "The Man Who Would be King", based on the story by Rudyard Kipling.

After watching the 1977 movie "Black Sunday", I got a weird idea to summarize the events of the movie in a classified ad - this is the result. I don't own these characters or a blimp.Misc. Movies, K, English, words: 575, 7/29

1 Cliffhanger
Charlie Croker and his mates got the gold bars away from Turin at the end of the 1969 film "The Italian Job", but didn't exactly end up with them in their hands.

Investigator Arkady Renko mentions in a conversation about an older encounter he had with the KGB in the 1983 movie "Gorky Park". This one-shot sheds a little more light on the event. I don't own these characters, and I've never driven a Sable much less worn one.Gorky Park, K, English, words: 1k+, 7/8
1 Educating Frank
Independence takes many forms. At the end of the 1983 movie "Educating Rita" Frank Bryant got sent away to Australia for unbecoming conduct, and Susan "Rita" White became emancipated from her old life. Perhaps they read Walt Whitman's "Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me." I don't own these characters, but I do drink iced tea.Misc.

Bill Murray is an aging actor who flies to Japan to make a commercial in the 2003 movie "Lost in Translation" and reflects on his own life while in a culture and language foreign to him.

1 Bitter Trouble - The Conclusion
The FF writer Carpenter Servant started a sequel story 16 years ago based on Robert Heinlein's "Tunnel in the Sky" but abandoned it after one chapter. It was a good start, and after getting no reply to a message this is my effort to complete the work - as a short. Please read his/her original chapter in Books-Robert Heinlein-Bitter Trouble first before finishing with this.Robert Heinlein, K, English, Adventure & Mystery, words: 3k+, 6/3
