He coughed, hovering over the sink.
“Can’t you do that in the loo?”
Too late. He hacked out a few red bugs. They scuttled in the basin.
I turned on the disposal, cursing moving to an alien planet that saw us as incubators. “You know not to go out when the pollen count is high.”

When one views the damage often attributed to a single monstrous rat and begins to fathom its widespread reach and destruction, then one must conclude there are a number of lesser ratlings furiously gnawing on everything the sane hold dear.

#WIPSnips #trial #trial #Southerngothic #amediting
Sylvie allowed Jane to speak next. Jane was easy to ignore because she’d taken the idea of modest and demure into near invisibility. Her voice was barely there as she whispered the pitfalls of calling too much attention to oneself, especially if a young lady was “deceased” and trying to show herself to the “non-deceased.” In returning to the world from which Erica had come, she’d mocked the momentous and sober significance of the afterlife for the thrill of cheap Halloween parlor tricks. Patsy went on in the same vein. To give her credit, she ventured from the adjectives crass and obnoxious to accuse Erica of outright vulgarity. “A trollop who puts out.” She caused a stir among the assembled gentlewomen and earned a sharp reprimand from Miss Sylvie. “We don’t use foul language in this house.” She drew herself up so rigorously, Erica thought she’d pop one of the gazillion buttons on her high-necked dress. Her forbidding tone and stare melted Patsy to a blushing blob. Erica had hopes Patsy’s scandal would end her trial. A trial was what it was. The verdict was already in. She waited to be sentenced.

’Judge’ instead of ‘trial’, as Murple reflects on a massacre …

From ‘The Big Feat’.

#WiPSnips
It wasn’t for her to judge these people, or Lally and his group of troublesome lads, though she did. She judged them a lot and they were very much guilty of a great many things as far as she was concerned. They were not good people. That, of course, to her, didn’t matter in the slightest in this moment. No-one deserved to die like this, even though it would seem Bolsivver had killed, or had had killed, Lally and his gang. This was cruelty. This was a filthy way to steal things, and it was theft that was the reason for this. She could smell the feint scent of that box. Again. But saw no sign of the box itself.

That wasn’t fair! At least for the players that didn’t have ranged weaponry.

The wyvern had launched itself into the air and began to #hover out of hand weapon range, shooting fireballs at everyone. Luckily, Rory had Kluhm away to the side, firing her own spells from relative safety.

The Enemy fought hard, but so did Hogan and Dylan’s rogues. The battle fierce and not without casualties. Ships became stars and then debris, but they were holding their own.

Until The Enemy stopped at a #hover and then … retreated, flying away at speed. It was a victory. A first victory.

The coral reef in all its brilliance
Washed across the sky as the sun set
Cumulus clouds showed their resilience
With cirrus clouds to aid and abet
Tropical fish are doing a dance
Reflects from sea to overhead jet

"Falls the Breath is extraordinary in how it bridges the spiritual and emotional with such elegance. Pain and resilience are portrayed with poetic subtlety. The relationship between the living and dead becomes more about healing, and that resonates with anyone who has loved and lost."
