Some of 'loose threads' from AZ-Mans fiction.

'The Elusive California Dream'

1. The character of Tina simply 'disappears' from the plot, with no idea given as to just what happened to her after her last scene.
2. There's a classic story in this quote "Jill continued to smoke her Virginia Slims Menthol Lights at a rate of a pack a day while Brittany stayed with her Salems just like her friend Gail. All three were hopelessly hooked and loved it. Jill was still working on Kyle…"

The last named character is Jill's youngest daughter who would be 14 at this point in the story, having her resist until closer to 18 would probably be the best way to make use of this one.

'Pygmalion'

Deborah Weigand is a character the plot does not make effective use of, there's a whiff of 'smoking evangelist' in her makeup and a possible connection with a character from the earlier 'The Elusive California Dream' to explore.
