#vss very short story Barbara trusted the angel on the porch. When her stomach glowed turquoise, it meant the holy spirit had impregnated her, again. This morning, she had expected it. The strange lights in the sky last night and the strange, uncomfortable dream were almost exactly the same as last time. She only hopedContinue reading “#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 7: A House Full Of Water”

Butterflies For Christmas #FD2017 Day 6
Yesterday morning there was a full frost and my neighbor went water-skiing in a puffy winter jacket. This gold-glitter butterfly is the representative of a similar dichotomy. Butterflies are usually the symbol of Spring, renewal and Easter, but here we are at Christmas ornament. This ornament reminds me of deep-fried rosette cookies. My mom boughtContinue reading “Butterflies For Christmas #FD2017 Day 6”
Final Days Of 2017 Day 5: Eye For A Lie
This single jingle bell isn’t exactly funny on its own. It depends who is wearing it and how, or where you put it, or what song you try to play with it. Use your imagination. I bet you can turn this single jingle bell into a very odd decoration indeed. I know the photo’s aContinue reading “Final Days Of 2017 Day 5: Eye For A Lie”
Final Days Of 2017 Day 4: Two Of One Or One Of Two
This is an ornament I made myself. If you look closely, you may recognize the Victor Bilibin image I used for the back of my handmade Tarot cards. This ornament was made as an example of a simple craft one could do with stickers. For this one, I took 5 rectangular stickers and placed aContinue reading “Final Days Of 2017 Day 4: Two Of One Or One Of Two”
#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 3: Pretty, Naughty Pig
This little piggy was not created as an ornament, but has been donned by many of my “Christmas Trees” (in quotes because instead of a tree, I have used a hat rack, or gathered fallen branches). A festive and naughty pig, note the Mardi Gras beads and dirty feet, perhaps she represents the greed, gluttonyContinue reading “#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 3: Pretty, Naughty Pig”
#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 2: Explore Your Preface
I know what you’re thinking. Why is that a silly ornament? It’s a pretty angel. A nice silver ornament. But take a closer look. What’s she wearing that hat for? Is she going on safari? And what is she doing? Smashing some vines into a crescent moon? And what’s going on with her neck onContinue reading “#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 2: Explore Your Preface”

Interview with Richard C. White about his new book Harbinger Of Darkness!
Some of you may remember way back before #Writober started, I asked What are you planning for #Writober? Back then, a million years ago, I mentioned that I planned to do Readers Imbibing Peril XII’s Peril in the First. I listed the books I planned on reading and half of those have changed, but IContinue reading “Interview with Richard C. White about his new book Harbinger Of Darkness!”
Writober Day 17: The Smell Of Death
I will never forget the smell when I returned to New Orleans after the hurricane. It permeated everything. It’s impossible to describe, but it’s a mix of rot, blood, excretion and this sickly-sweet horror that triggers the gag reflex until it is so stuck in your nostrils and pores that you realize it will alwaysContinue reading “Writober Day 17: The Smell Of Death”
#Writober Day 14: Monsters under the microscope.
Now here’s a real monster from The Science Library/Getty Images. I think if you watch Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and compare this guy to the storm-trooper carrying at-ats you’ll see some design similarities. This four-eyed alien-like face, belonging to the larva of a water-dwelling beetle, can be the last thing a tadpole seesContinue reading “#Writober Day 14: Monsters under the microscope.”
