The Burn Pile List Addendum

If you remember, the Burn Pile List is a collection of “tools” that have failed to make it on to my ever-growing collection of “Author’s Tools.” (Current score is Author’s Tools: 3, Burn Pile List: 1).

An addendum is required.

Ducky’s Cold Box days are crap and deserve to be tossed on the trash pile, doused with lighter fluid and set ablaze.

Explanation needed, I suppose.

Days in which life has worn you blunt, dull and colorless and the only place you really feel emotionally dressed to be is that chilled box where autopsy docs store the newly dead bodies in the morgue are dubbed Ducky’s Cold Box Days (a la the “NCIS” coroner Ducky, played superbly and wryly by David McCallum, who is forever pulling and pushing the colorless out of those crisper drawers.)

Make sense?

Probably not.

But I’m chilling out dully in the emotional morgue today so I don’t really mind.

Addendum done.

Until tomorrow…

Chloe
