Spice the cat, in her editor mode, reminding me I have a short story to finish today, before I head out on my book tour tomorrow.

Spice is looking very serious, in front of a monitor that has the short story in question up on it. However, the monitor is out of focus and the words not readable. Sorry, pixel peepers!

Atlanta in the 1890s. Notice the prominence of creeks on the map (Intrenchment, Proctor), plus the rail lines & streetcar routes, plus the lovely street grid.

It's wonderful to see a map of the city where freeways aren't the dominant feature!

6 panel comic

P1: A title --GRAMFEL-- backed by raging flames

P2: My Garfield & Jon stand-ins, Jahn & Gramfel. The former seen from the torso up, wearing a light brown jackets, and darker brown scarf & fingerless gloves. He carries a satchel, hung on his left side over his right shoulder. He looks very tired, and has days worth of unshaven growth on his face.

Gramfel --in his purple box-- floats beside him, cosmic energy spewing from the bottom of the box.

They both stand on the bottom right of the panel, facing left, as they stare at something off-panel.

Behind both, a cracked pavement and some of a street are visible. The grey-purple colour scheme gives the impression of this taking place at night.

P3: We now look at what both are staring at: A poster taped to a wall, with some sort of slug-like monstrosity in a suit and red tie. They have tiny--almost vestigial-- arms, and they have what looks to be a facsimile of a dead-eyed human face with a sex doll mouth. What is meant to be their hair is equally slug-like.

Above them, a single word: SUBMIT

P4: POV pans back to show Gramfel and Jahn --in shadow, from behind-- staring at the poster.

P5: Back to the POV from the second panel, Jahn gestures toward the now unseen poster with his right hand, as he turns his head to Gramfel and says "I miss the simpler days of existential dread"

P6: We zoom right out to take in the apocalyptic looking scene around Jahn & Gramfel: A person lies in a sleeping bag beside a flaming barrel inside a ruined shell of a building across the street. Beside it, and upturned car.

Hands in his pockets, Jahn walks away, Gramfel floating in silence beside him.

And people wonder why I relate to cats more than people…

That and I’m pretty sure they meet the diagnostic criteria for autism
