Daring—very daring—to slide onto a bench which was already occupied. But Paula thought the next bench looked dirty. The air was cool, though, and the sky, if cloudy, was bright. Anyone with an experience of movies knew murderous attacks took place on rainy nights or shadowy pathways. She cast a wall-eyed glance atContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Once a Pun a Time”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Vera Veritas
Lewis Switzer regarded the world around him as he did himself: with a grand benevolent satisfaction. That the air hinted at impending rain worried him as little as did his own faults, and he found nothing displeasing about the slightly shabby park around him (as it included the limber limbs and interestingly torn shortsContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Vera Veritas”
FICTION FRIDAY: Astray

FUZZ ORDAINED: Air Academics
Arthur Braling was less prepossessing in the world of primary colors, but so many things are. He was not without a certain charm, red curls combed high above a bright, eager face. He wore a red necktie over a white shirt, not because Mershon College had any rules about this, but because he happened toContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Air Academics”
FUZZ ORDAINED: The Angel and the Phronik

UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: All Awake
A tremendous party was held as soon as everyone could get inside the castle. Minstrels recited hastily-composed sonnets on snoozing while dulcimers played in the background.

Dimity sat at a high table in the back of the room whereContinue reading “UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: All Awake”
UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: Fiends Everywhere
Affretz did not recognize the hand that caught at his boot, but knew at once it could have nothing to do with the flower. He grabbed it, more because it was dragging him into the hole than any other reason. A dirty but familiar face gazed up at him, and then Deedee seemedContinue reading “UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: Fiends Everywhere”
UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: Underground Princess
Dimity was discovering that there were many things in this castle which, if they were not as bad as the ogre, were quite bad enough. Her plan had been to break the glass in the greenhouse windows and escape back into the forest. This plan was based on complete ignorance of ogre greenhouses. Continue reading “UNSLEEPING BEAUTY: Underground Princess”
Unsleeping Beauty: Gardening With Dragons
Affretz swung up his sword to whack the dragon away, but the dragon let go at once and shook its head. “You don’t understand!” Steam dribbled from its nose as it whined, “You’ve broken half the spell! Help me break the other half!” “Spell?” demanded the prince. “Oh, I get it! WhatContinue reading “Unsleeping Beauty: Gardening With Dragons”
Fiction Friday: The case of the Purloined Penguins
“Well, Lieutenant?” “Nothing, Captain. Not a single break in the Cotner Case.” “Only a matter of time, Lieutenant. Continue to monitor Facebook, and keep your staff on Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube.
