Bad Machinery by John Allison for September 18, 2019

Ghosts, aliens and selkies and, yet, this is the least believable event yet in these stories.

This looks like a throw-back from several years ago. It could be, though, a never-give-up attitude on Shaunnas part. She was so bummed at the way life has been going, this may be a reaction to that.I can’t fight my own battles, but I will help you with yours.Benevolence is a sure ego booster.

Ooh, putting the hair up. Serious business.

Charlotte’s reacting out of jealousy today, but I do wonder if she will come around and come to Shauna’s defense just as Shauna has come to Blossom’s. (no spoilers from those who have read ahead).

I’m a bit surprised that there isn’t a crowd.

Lottie tries to protect the Shauna she known since childhood. She can’t accept that Shauna can be changed and she may have friends she doesn’t like. I’m sorry, but Shauna is right, and if Lottie is unable to accept it, it’s better they stop to see each other.

“We’re not eleven any more.” Quite true, and it shows that the mystery girls’ days are numbered as a group. (The mystery boys already seem to be more nearly preoccupied with general teen-age goofiness.)

Shauna has the CUTEST ears!

To be honest, Charlotte, you have had your rough spots over the years too that’d be more than enough for people to hold against you.

So have a bit of perspective here.

The girls don’t know Why Blossom is fighting, they may Think that do, but haven’t seen what Blossom was told.And they don’t know that she has walked into a trap.

I love the Lottie character, but I’m so disappointed in her actions regarding Blossom.

Wowsers. A lot of psychoanalysis of comic characters in these comments. Perhaps y’all need to write a dissertation on the very real Mr. Allison… :^)
