My stories
A Free Lunch [Some words from Liar's Kingdom]
Some words from the middle of Liar's Kingdom - about 22 pages further on in the manuscript. I always have a "bolt-hole" manuscript, for when the main project isn't going well. Liar's Kingdom is now performing this function for Prospero Vint. I've put this with the early parts of LK which I posted on here nearly 10 years ago Image is PD from Wikipedia

Perhaps not as outrageously ridiculous

as previous episodes, but very good all the same.
I'm not entirely sure "relent" is the word you want at line 12
OED does have at 2†b."to yield, give way; to give up a previous determination or obstinacy" which does fit." which...

Ho-Ha-Heh, Hertha Beh-Ess-Tseh!

Assured, convincing writing, a bold and meaningful premise, well handled. Art and how we respond to it is an interesting subject, Mark has made the most of that in this wonderful piece, and that's why it is our Social Media Pick of the Day....

BTW, as kids we used to sing "Who Put Your Lights Out?" to one of Dana's minor hits.
You can't fool me, that's Dana International up there in that photograph, at least she's had a shave.

Well done.
