For whom does the silent bugle blow?

Silent Bugle!

Fruit-Based Perversions

Oranges are not the only fruit useful for perversions. A raspberry placed with care and accuracy on a cake shop manageress can often be very rewarding indeed.

Oldwarrior's Society

Ask not!

Take the Next Road on your Left (15 and Epilogue)

The Card.

Storm

On the edge of the horizon Twists the mighty storm It curls it steel grey fingers Around the egg blue sky And comes like boiling water To land its deafening roar Trees are felled like matches

The day stretched out into the afternoon and somber-ed down to a windy evening. The air is talking to everyone even though I am the only one listening.
Cherry

Missing You

These words have been a long time coming...
