Today, Ukraine commemorates the Babyn Yar massacre - one of WWII’s darkest chapters. In Sept 1941, Nazis executed tens of thousands, mainly Kyiv’s Jews, along with Roma, POWs, and civilians. Babyn Yar stands as a symbol of Holocaust horrors. We remember to prevent history from repeating.

Just a few things the Good Thyme Inn gang grows in their garden...
Shallot, Shanks, and Aubergine had spent so much time in the garden last spring, planting crops that they could use to supplement meals so they didn’t have to buy everything. Mostly it had been vegetables and herbs. Aubergine had discovered a fondness of growing the plants he’d named himself after. When their purple flowers blossomed, he would take one and pin it to his suit while entertaining guests for the evening. And when the fruits were ready, Parsnips and Grilled would make a dish called moonslight aubergine, so named because it was made with cheese from the Moonslight region, then grated over sliced aubergine pieces.
But among the edible herbs and vegetables they’d planted for meals, Shallot had also planted something with a different purpose: silphium. While the thick-stalked herb with its bunches of yellow flowers didn’t look like much, it was beloved by those who knew its purpose. It had uses in medicine, seasoning, and perfume-making, but most consumers used it for its contraceptive properties. Grind up the leaves and apply it to wine, then a woman will not become pregnant for a night. And if she were already pregnant, it would induce abortion.

LIMINAL MONSTER drops in less than 24 hours 😱 Please enjoy the first 2 pages. 🫶
PRELUDE O, SORROW

A woman sits in a decrepit rocking chair atop the highest peak of a city so long-dead its name is but a dream. In one hand she holds a
tattered silk-wrought mask; in the other, a needle and thread. Beyond her, beside her, behind her, encompassing the whole of the balcony, is the corpse of a thing. Even in death its eldritch grin persists, procuring screams from falling stars and sowing pleasure 'cross the moonlit streets of the city.
Sorrow stands at the precipice, back to
the balustrade beneath which churns a cacophonous sea that smells of rot and piss and fear.
"Metaphors are peculiar," says the woman. "It is the choice of words, I think.
You and I know well there is no 'sea, and yet its use arouses chaos, illustrates the franticebb and flow of our decline presented as a million dying screams."
She looks up, scrutinizing Sorrow with orange eyes inside of which eternity drifts.
Constellations and the gossamer web of galaxies dead and gone. She beckons Sorrow and the Chronicler of Ends obeys.
Sorrow kneels before the woman and
observes.
"A needle and thread are perhaps the finest simulacra of Proprium's quill and ink, the means by which reality is writ."
The woman shifts her needle-wielding hand. Palm upturned, the implement takes flight, hovering before her like a sunlit shard of glass. The milk-white thread falls from the needle's eye and waits. Frayed and weight-less, aimless and adrift; ink bereft of quill.
"From one, many," says the woman, and her words enchant the simulacra. Through the eye frayed thread is drawn; around the eye the loose ends deviate, reaching outward like the roots of trees. Desperate. Grasping.
"And from many, one." With her thumb and index finger, the woman mends the tarnished thread-but Sorrow still fixates on the needle's eye.
