“C” is for Can

In a past season I wrote a handful of these ABC entries and I moved them over to My Whirlwind Life. So if the story itself seems dated in some way… that’s because I wrote it a few years ago.

 2.
position or posture of the body appropriate to or expressive of an action, emotion, etc.
