Why this must be read:
I know there's not been an anouncement made but the fifteenth is almost over here, so I thought I should get this in.
Set after Island of the Haunted, Lyle hangs out on Wisteria Lane, and his sister pays him a visit. It's a really simple premise, assuming that Mr Lyle is Mike Delfino (both played by the same actor), and a really great look at the Parker-Lyle dynamic in a situation that is both different and yet the same.
An Excerpt:
The scent of cigarette smoke lingered in the air, a brand he was familiar with, one he'd breathed in almost every day for four years. He tensed even more and wished he hadn't allowed himself to become so careless, to have been lulled into believing this was really his life.
("You're a pretender too," she had once told him. "We both are. We pretend all the time.")
He let the door swing closed. If he was going to die, this was a fitting place; a community built on secrets and lies, much like everything else in his life. No wonder he'd adapted so well; secrets and lies were part of his DNA.
