Synopsis=Greek Word for Hell

I’m bad. I’m supposed to be writing the synopsis for book 2 at request of Dream Agent.

This is a little game I like to play with my girlfriends. I can’t remember where I picked it up, but it always provides some interesting conversation in that lull between clearing the plates and dishing up the pie.
