“Thousands of people!” she exclaimed. “Their thoughts and trophies! Oh no, they weren’t friends of yours, maybe; they wouldn’t agree with your every single word!” “But….” Bott said again. “But they had feet, too! And you can’t burn their memories and dreams into nothing just because they aren’t what you like best!”Continue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER v”

Ladies of the Court
I know you were yearning to see the next installment of my list of presidential conspiracies, but I didn’t plan to fill this space with that until we got through thirty or forty presidents. Anyhow, I can’t quite get my head around the James Madison theory yet. We’ll come back to the list nextContinue reading “Ladies of the Court”
Presidential Tall Tales, Part I
Just got hit with a new one. Some unknown conspiracy theorist just let me know that these phone calls about choosing my medical plan are NOT coming for ORDINARY robocallers. No, no:: these are people prepared to alter the fabric of our country by moving (should you be unwise enough to use the wordContinue reading “Presidential Tall Tales, Part I”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER IV
The slime devil towered over the slim diminutive woman; its roar shivered the metal plates in the walls of the room. She looked up into huge red eyes, showing no fear. Then she dippedher spoon not the shimmering gelatin dessert. The Denebian did not fill her with terror, and she had been brought upContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER IV”
FICTION FRIDAY: Reassessment
“What happened?” asked Barbara, looking around the off-white chamber. The tall person in the white robe smiled. “We get a lot of that. You turned left on the corner of State and Delaware just as a driver lost control of his SUV. You were caught between the grille and the window washer’s scaffold.” Continue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Reassessment”
Halloween-Adjacent?
It is time for my annual column where I go through my inventory and discover I have no Halloween postcards for sale. There ARE Halloween postcards, and postcard mongers who can offer you a fine array, but these folks exist at a higher financial level than I can compete with, and therefore I haveContinue reading “Halloween-Adjacent?”
Dragonshelf and the Drover III
Bott’s head swung left and right as he fingered the grenades on his belt. There was no way to predict where danger waited: overhead, underfoot, forward, behind. He studied what seemed to be holes I the corridor walls. Were they ornaments, part of the structural design, or the aiming mechanisms of traps? LightsContinue reading “Dragonshelf and the Drover III”
Seaside Humor II
As you will recall from our last thrilling episode, we were looking through a portfolio of beach postcards produced in 1948 by Curteich. These accordion-pleated collections were essentially cartoon collections, the postcards printed on both sides of the page (as opposed to other similar portfolios where you could tear out and mail individual cards.) Continue reading “Seaside Humor II”
Seaside Humor
A perennial difficulty with postcards, from the day these started including pictures until today, is that finding a card which would be perfect for Cousin Tabitha is never enough. If the card is really perfect to send Tabitha from your vacation spot it’s good enough to keep, too. One answer to this is toContinue reading “Seaside Humor”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER II
Bott stepped back onto the bridge and glowered at the delicate instrumentation. It had taken a day just to figure out how to flush the toilet. How long would it take hi to master flying the ship? His eyes passed across seats and control consoles so elegantly incorporated into the walls and floorContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER II”
