Easter Sunday. My Lenten writing exercise, with a small break, is concluded. Personally, I’m happy with this re-edited version of my one and only allegory. I wonder what comes next?
On a personal note, I saw my eldest daughter back off to uni late this morning. My youngest is off to support the GAE on Thursday. I do not know when I shall see them again. Yes, it is Easter and Christ is risen… but I’m in a little hell right now.
Continue reading “Pirate Twins 14, again “Endgame””Where we hear an even more immodest proposal.
Continue reading “Pirate Twins 13, again “Ace of Spies””Betrayal? Loss? Blood-letting? Reconciliation?
That’s enough for Good Friday. See everyone tomorrow.
Continue reading “Pirate Twins 11, again “Duped””There are times when allegory breaks down in the face of love.
And then once again, everything goes to hell.
Continue reading “Pirate Twins 10, again “Reunion””This reads a little like a geography lesson of northern Europe.
I’m reminded of the quote: “it’s all a question of bridges,” but then, Logres cannot perceive those.
We discover Europa’s nature. Maybe.
Continue reading “Pirate Twins 9, again “Revelation””Even in an allegory you should wear something.
And, yes, it is 0515 here.
Continue reading “Pirate Twins 8, again “Modesty””And there goes the neighborhood…
“They are over-paid, over-sexed, and over here!”
Continue reading “Pirate Twins 7, again “Cousins””After yesterday’s splash of exposition and travel, we have a short, sharp confrontation. In which the world nearly ends.
Just remember: allegory.
Continue reading “Pirate Twins, 5, again “The Cake is a Lie””I admit is a kind of retread. That is, a story I’ve explored before. So, yes, is a Lenten cheat.
Once upon a time, I had a writing experiment. About five years ago. It was based upon two songs I’ll address in the next post. For those of a certain age, it’s obvious. I first thought it was about Machines. I was wrong.
The original form was muddled. I’m trying to tighten this up as something very, very, odd for me:
Allegory. Allegory of the Cold War in Europe.
Continue reading “Pirate Twins, 1, again.”Yes, you just missed another bunny with a pancake on its head.
There’s a lot going on here but this is a writing exercise, not a proper short story in an anthology. Someday, it likely shall be. I try to resolve the Russian-Nation political dilemma with Nichole, as Togame’s friend, placing herself and her ship – literally – in the middle. Rhun is dealt with off-screen then we have a lovely little domestic scene.
Fifty bucks says Nichole sleeps with Gil’s son in the next six months. Japanese morals are different. Machine morals? Good luck with that.
