Ole TypeOObermoeller remembered the day she chucked Ole TypeO—what she named that beast back in the day when she was known as the fastest typist in the West… and without errors.
All but that one error in Obermoeller’s past, and her son demanded to know after he hauled out the wretched typewriter from the attic. “Why did you stop writing?” Obermoeller shook, then collapsed into a coma. How could her son have known what memory lived beneath those keys? Would Obermoeller wake up? Would her son find out the truth or would it remain stuck as the keys in Ole TypeO?

Poor Obermoeller! She's really got something in her past. I'm rooting for her son to solve the mystery. Surely doing so will bring her out of her coma. How can you not love this blurb? The title is great, and you even have a review by the Duke. . .by golly! :) Great job.
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteGoodness - to put her into instant coma it MUST'VE been something dramatic. I love the way you used 'error' almost as much as I did the photo itself.
ReplyDeleteWhatever made her stop must be a darned good tale! Good one :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggle, one does have to wonder how horrid a memory would need to be to cause instant coma. Sure hope she wakes up!
ReplyDeleteA memory that resulted in a coma! It must have been quite something!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhh, crap. You stopped too short....and left us hanging on this one. But that is the point!! I want more....get it published quickly please. Wonder what made her fall into a coma? Huh, huh?!!

Ole-Typo sounds like it has a dandy little mystery! Good job, Lynn!

Will her son ever get to the bottom of this mystery? I do hope so - and that his mother recovers her health and strength.
ReplyDeleteI love the title, too. I'm not very good at titles, so I really admire people who are.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of typing mistake could have such an effect? Inquiring minds want to know, Lynn!

That's a powerful subconscious she has to put her in a coma like that! I want to know more about why she stopped writing.
