Being an Imperial Sheriff did not allow for any display of nerves. Her father had told her as much while breaking her of that childhood habit of thrusting her entire right fist into her mouth. But Sherriff Parimat was unable to keep herself from rubbing that hand on her right thigh. She had noContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XVI”

FICTION FRIDAY: Rendezvous
“Oh no! Who’s that out there?” “Hush, darlin’. Ain’t no one but me.” “At last! I’ve been waiting…. I wish we didn’t have to meet up in the old burying ground!” “Well, Nellie Belle, I cain’t come into town. Not since they figgered out who looted the stage an’ broke theContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Rendezvous”
TALL TALE TIME
This seemed to me the right postcard to show on a morning (or possibly afternoon) after the holiday we set up in honor of clock-watching. When some of us have spent our evening waiting for the two hands to meet at midnight so we would be positioned to kiss the right person (or aContinue reading “TALL TALE TIME”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XV
Lacking any other plan, Bott and Nubry moved in the direction of the voice, crawling over crumpled enforcers and under the traveling square of the Head Librarian, which zipped back and forth, dragging its unconscious rider. When Bott saw that the source of the voice was Wanure Smalen, wearing a transparent gas mask, heContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XV”
You’d Scream, Too
Ice cream should not be complicated. I am not referring to the making of ice cream, as I might if I wrote a food blog. I have wrestled with one of those handy dandy ice cream makers in the 1990s, which guaranteed endless delights, and succeeded only in making a flavorful slush. NorContinue reading “You’d Scream, Too”
SANTA BLOGS XLII
Dear Santa Flops: Oh you darling fat fraud, there is only one thing I really want from you this Christmas, and that is that you keep far away from my holiday gift list. How am I supposed to train my relatives to give me useful things, like an online subscription to the Screaming StreamingContinue reading “SANTA BLOGS XLII”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XIV
By the time Bott caught up, Nubry was halfway down the corridor, conducting a spirited debate with herself. “Of course, they could mean they’re deaccessioning the collection from the Dragonshelf while accessioning it to their own inventory. Couldn’t they? Of course, they could! Or maybe they said ‘THE Accession Chamber’.” ”Deaccession Chamber,”Continue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XIV”
Santa Blogs XLI
Dear Santa Blogs I have always appreciated your advice on giving pre-owned objects as gifts, but as years go by, i find the wish lists of my grandchildren very difficult to translate. One grandchild in particular gives me a lot of instructions which are awfully technical. Are second-hand postcards at all appropriate for suchContinue reading “Santa Blogs XLI”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES IX
We continue to pore through history to find good solid conspiracies involving each of the Presidents of the United States. To recap, we need a story about a president which involves him in some deep plot, or one that seemed deep at the time. We prefer theories which are more or less contemporary withContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES IX”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XIII
“Oh my! Oh, my bins and bookshelves!” Nubry’s eyes had been fixed on the big screen for some time now. Broken buildings were all that remained of Near Schloggina. Old stone stalls they seemed to be, roofless and doorless, a refuge for fog and shadows. “Probably they had to shut down theContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER XIII”
