Unfirom blinked. He could still see the survey crew, and the park. Now, though, there were new colors, paler shades of the real greens and blues he’d seen a moment ago. This alternate August N. Griese park always bothered his eyes. It was out of focus. The grey-haired human costume had vanished, returningContinue reading “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. People milled around in the grand ballroom taking refreshments from long tables against the walls. 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”

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.

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. Something could be posted at any time.” “Can do, Captain. But, er…”. “But what, Lieutenant?” “Wilson had anContinue reading “Fiction Friday: The case of the Purloined Penguins”
Unsleeping Beauty: Multiple Threats
Affretz sat up and rubbed his eyes. Was something wrong? He couldn’t hear Deedee talking. There was nothing much to see but the wagon, the sinister forest, and the horses. He was about to call out when he heard Archels’s voice. “How could we let him get away? I wanted to findContinue reading “Unsleeping Beauty: Multiple Threats”
Unsleeping Beauty: Stranger Meetings
What they were moving toward was, in fact, another castle. It was quite as large as the castle Dimity had grown up in, and even the larger one where her uncle had been kind. It could not be seen above the trees of the grisly grove, however because unlike the majority of castles, whichContinue reading “Unsleeping Beauty: Stranger Meetings”
Plant Thou No Roses
Meredith sat up and cursed. When WOULD he remember to push back the lid of the casket first? Once the obstruction had been pushed aside, he stretched his arms and sighed. This was, of course, only his second day in the tomb. There would be time to work out the details. LastContinue reading “Plant Thou No Roses”
