El Duende
More from the archives. Not a repost, as far as I can tell. Duende is the hardest word to explain I ever came across in Spanish. This one is for all the friends I made amongst students and barflies. Image source Flickr.com: photographer Albertus 82: licence CC-BY-NC 2.0

The Last Man on the Moon
Another old one. Only posted at all because it contains the word 'pandemic'. Sci-Fi. Not fair just to warn you in the summary, I know, but maybe the picture's a clue. Image free for non commercial use from freesvg.org

Timor Mortis Me Conturbat
Warning! Contains Latin with which I have taken a syntactical liberty. Although strictly speaking, the verb is generally at the end of a Latin period,this is merely a phrase.

Written before, by several years. I read it now and it's not so far out. For everyone affected, as I was between then and now by some, by any of the things this story deals with. Image from pikrepro.com and free for non-commercial reuse.

because by the time I started with OU Eliot and Pound were no longer "suitable". I bought Eliot's poetry with annotations. I was lucky that I'd studied Latin and French to to A-Level along with English. No Eliot there either! I love the...

humour is the only antidote to extremism... Where are the satirists? They should be firing broadsides port and starboard, the answer to the rise of the right is most definitely not a jump to the left, despite what Frank'N'Furter says.

laughter in the dark. I hope it makes you feel better, because it does me - and I expect it does everyone with any sense who reads it. Brava!

The ever quirky hudsonmoon tries something different today and by golly it works well. That's why it's our Facebook and Twitter Pick of the Day. Why not share or retweet if you like it too?

your last one feel/read like you're trying something different. If you're going to use wind etc with no article the/a/this/that etc. maybe try capitalising them, sometimes no article makes it harder to read and detracts from the beautiful image (...

from a US radio advertising campaign from the 30's I think. It means this is going/has started well - possibly after repeated failed attempts. Popularised by Jack Benny and the like in comedy sketches thereafter.

One or two things. Incognito is one word.
Kirk is almost exclusively used for Church in the Church of Scotland. Your priest(s) are Catholics, I presume, since they practise the rite of Exorcism.
I like the idea of the stories being...

what the playground chants are now... we used to parrot chants about Ho Chi Minh, with no clue where Vietnam was. This has that kind of hypnotic rhythm. Cleverly done.
