O’TAN’S GARDEN OF DIMENSION

February 1, 2010

The loon’s sane persona was inspired by this, his own painting, to write a 30,000 word children’s fantasy entitled O’Tan’s Gate. The character Frad, posted earlier, is part of the mysterious story of Dosh, the hutkeeper, and random rain riddles.

The Buckwheat Pancake and the Fox

The buckwheat pancake, after escaping the pursuit of the astonished cook, rolled to a stop at the edge of a lake and looked out with a modest stirring of passion at a comely little island there.

“Oh, what a splendid island! I long to get to it in the worst way,” said the buckwheat pancake.

“I can help you,” said a fox, springing nimbly from nearby undergrowth. “Sit on my nose and I’ll swim you across.”

“Well now, that surely would be the worst way to get there, wouldn’t it? On the nose of a fox. What are you waiting for? Come on. Let’s do it!” said the buckwheat pancake.

The fox grinned at the ease with which he had secured an unexpected snack. It was his final grin. Had he been alive a few moments later, he would have been surprised to find himself fashioned into a sort of a raft and being oared toward the island. But he wasn’t alive.

Moral: Always be wary of sentient foodstuffs.

MOMENTS PRIOR TO THE YOUNG LADY’S ERROR

January 28, 2010

The professor’s cat moved with lark-like civility down the hallway. Plel Lolman smiled with his wooden mouth. Widow Chirp, the landlady, ladled dollops of treason pie onto broken dishes. The professor remained in his room twirling a mackerel in anticipation of Crimson Bloodhound Day. Mavis, the parlor maid, sat in the boiler room eating a feather duster while reading the autobiography of B. Tipton Stallworthy, Tentacle of Death. Henry, the handy man, crawled on his belly like a spewing monk across the basement floor. Bindings erupted through his door and flailed from room to room, weeping. In the attic, Clever Ricky hid. Standing on the steps outside, young librarian’s assistant Jane Littleheart was in the process of making the worst decision of her up until then industrially flexible life. She was about to inquire within.
