I have a question for you comic book experts out there. I did my time in the world of comics fandom, but that was back in the days when I could buy a boxful of new comics for about twenty bucks. No that was NOT in the days when they were a dime. I’mContinue reading “Saving the Day”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Anna and Shannon
Anna set her groceries down on the sidewalk first, and then let herself thump down on the bench. She swept the back of one hand across her eyes. Then she leaned back and crossed her ankles in front of her. Anna Eleanor, she told herself, it’s a food thing your parents aren’t aroundContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Anna and Shannon”
FICTION FRIDAY: Garden Gate
“Any you guys want to pray a bit, we got some time.” It was not a whisper, but the gruff voice was no louder than one. I looked around to see if one of the neighbors had a window open, and I was getting some Sunday afternoon movie. Kneeling in the garden, IContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Garden Gate”
Boldly Going
In my boy days, we were always getting articles about how Jules Verne had predicted the future. This was a major theme in the world in those days: Jules Verne had predicted space travel, high-powered submarines, television, and who knows what all else. There was a reason that the government named its first nuclearContinue reading “Boldly Going”
FUZZ ORDAINED: Banners and Bakers
“That was fun,” said Bluebell, tossing flower petals to the left and to the right, and then over her head. Primrose, who was standing on her head to scratch an ankle with one hand, pointed an accusatory finger with the other. “You said they were boring.” Blubell nodded. “That’s what it wasContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Banners and Bakers”
FICTION FRIDAY: Before the Ink Was Dry
“That’s all you need, then?” The translator took its usual two-heartbeat delay in showing the reply. “Yes, Your Magnificence. With your digital signature, we can proceed immediately.” Yellowe nodded, and typed in a question he’d had answered before but wanted to read again. “And my people won’t know it’s happening?” AnotherContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Before the Ink Was Dry”
Ooze Oo R Ooo?
If you hate baby talk, you have a lot of company. One of Irving Berlin’s lesser hit songs dealt with how it set his teeth on edge, and I have been running through the bookshelves in my brain to come up with authors who made the attempt successfully. I had no problem with aContinue reading “Ooze Oo R Ooo?”
FUZZ ORDAINED: Bonbon and Beaufort
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”
