Toured a submarine recently and now I can't stop watching submarine movies. Up periscope! Load torpedoes!

Until Eternity’s End: New Short Story Published
My husband is a true crime aficionado. Me? Not so much. The faces of the endless procession of murdered women and girls linger in my mind, though their names are far too numerous for me to remember…

Gorbals 1964, and a group of boys play in the street as Oscar Marzaroli takes aim with his lens. The young lad on the left appears to be returning fire. #Glasgow

Some of you may not have seen my weird little postcards
A corpse sits in an alcove next to an ancient highway.A glowing sword in the middle of a junkyard.A rest stop with a huge neon sign reading "Gas" stands atop a cliff bathed in fiery light of uncertain origin.A small home, perhaps a trailer, sits on the horizon, a ghost of an overpass hanging above it. The sky is heavily overcast.

It's very unfair that I have to miss Wimbledon and the Tour de France in order to go to work so I can make money to pay my bills. Putting in an official complaint.

the Cape Verde national anthem is quite lovely. With dignity, bury the seed In the dust of the naked island At the escarpment of life Hope is As big as the sea Which embraces us Sentinel of the oceans and winds Persevering Between the stars And the Atlantic Intone the Chant of Freedom.

Old gods rampaging across the globe. The chill of a dead man’s breath on your neck. The end of the world & the survivors facing something worse. The light at the end of the tunnel if only you can keep crawling towards it. Whatever dark fiction you like, I hope you find it here. author.to/LukeWalker

This might well become a thread. I am calling it 'Bloody Hell, Aren't Doors On Old Walls Fucking Brilliant?'
An intriguing door in a very posh but non-smug non-judgemental old wall.A door in an old wall leading to a garden where you can bet there is a fucking crazy party happening An old door in an old wall which is so arrogantly great, it’s almost disgusting.Some dickhead had better not try to paint this great messed up old door in an even older wall or I am going over there with some people I know, and I am not kidding.

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now? Just checking what the standards are these days.
