Two people walked hand in hand, picking a careful path along the wet grass. He was tall, with rather too much nose in the center of a long, bland face. She was not so very much shorter, with tiny eyes, great big glasses, and an excess of chin. The eyes of each were guarded,Continue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Bonbon and Beaufort”

The Marital Games
We have so far made no mention of the 2024 Summer Olympics, and this must be remedied. I am myself an Olympics junkie, sucked in by the games of 19…whatever. I watch in my own special way, of course. There are events I watch through my fingers (“Don’t fall, don’t fall, don’t make meContinue reading “The Marital Games”
On Your Feet
Once upon a time, there was a commercial which emphasized the importance of shoes. The young man in overalls who has never worn shoes because his feet can’t breathe finds that Hush Puppies are different, and cries out that now he can go to school “I can BE somebody!” (I do not have aContinue reading “On Your Feet”
FUZZ ORDAINED: Banner and Baker
Little raindrops sprayed from little wings, but did not affect the petals the phronik tossed with abandon. Meadow Saffron was the first to pause. “Whoo!” she said, fanning herself with one petal. “I thought for a long time we wouldn’t do it. And they would.” “The way she was treating him likeContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Banner and Baker”
Watch Your Phraseology
There is much to be said for technical ineptitude. Once again last night, I came very near to commenting on a video on a social media venue. One of my favorites was replying to a comment by getting into costume and…never mind. You had to be there. I have enough to do just explainingContinue reading “Watch Your Phraseology”
About This Wall of Yours
Okay, M. Bergeret, you’ve got me. Explain the joke. Not long ago, I added to my inventory a collection described as an assortment of postcards roughly 120 years old, based primarily on French silent movies: mainly comedies. Among these, among scenes from a Dutch documentary of the 1950s and a German drinking songContinue reading “About This Wall of Yours”
FUZZ ORDAINED: Olivia and Griff
Olivia took hold of her collar with both hands. “It’s going to rain,” she stated. “It’s not going to rain.” Griffin shook his hair back. “Besides, thunder and lightning will make it even better.” Olivia’s lips pulled in. Griffin realized that he’d have had a better chance if he’d said the secondContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Olivia and Griff”
FICTION FRIDAY: Drawing
Bud hunched his shoulders. That had sounded very much like an expensive drawing table being tipped over and kicked. But Aster was at an age where her bedroom door was a. a shield against an irrelevant outside world, b. the guardian of her privacy, her identity, and her human rights, and c. a force fieldContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Drawing”
Seeing Spots?
They tell me freckles are now high fashion. People who once tried to bleach their skin or laser away their sunkisses are now drawing extra freckles on their cheeks, or pressing broccoli hard against the skin, and even having freckles tattooed into place. The change started in the 1960s, apparently. Model/actress Twiggy isContinue reading “Seeing Spots?”
FUZZ ORDAINED: Lilian and Schuyler
Lilian’s eyes shifted left again, away from him. She wished that just once she could walk somewhere without some guy deciding so small a woman would be easy to pick up. And this was an especially unsavory specimen. She shot him another quick look: he hadn’t shaved, he owned a potbelly which was puttingContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Lilian and Schuyler”
