Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source.
A picture of Gary Gnu, the newscaster Sesame Street style puppet from the early eighties morning television show The Great Space Coaster. His tag line is written around his picture. "No Gnews is Good Gnews with Gary Gnu."

#WIPSnips Tsi(Tsiaswara) and Norcha are Zun's mothers. "Him" refers to the MC, Random.
The Ganaxes claimed to be farmers, and fishers of the nearby Loch Esona, from which, according to Norcha, she and her daughter Zun hauled him—naked and unconscious in their fishing net—into their rowboat earlier that morning. Given the scene upon his waking in a cot on their kitchen floor in someone else’s clothes, it sounded like some world-class horseshit. Tsi appeared a mad scientist; leather gloves, apron to her knees, and big orange-lensed Amelia Earhart goggles. Norcha looked like a pirate cannoneer, in a sleeveless tunic with a thick belt, a tight headscarf on her bald head, squeezing a dagger in her meaty fist.

#WIPSnips Random and Zun's friendship is one of my favorite things. Though she is a soldier serious about her duty, Zun loves stories, legends, and "follytales." And prophecies.
He was glad to see storytelling Zun was still in there. “Why was it famous?”
“Gyulkod’s Cane appears a normal staff but weighs as much as…,” she searched for a dramatic metaphor, “ten carts full of fish! It could knock down buildings and batter through stone walls!” She swung the imaginary weapon in slow motion.
“I don’t understand. Who could lift it?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know. Someone did.” 
A good story has no use for math. “I would think,” Random scrunched his face, “someone strong enough to lift it wouldn’t need that staff to bash through things.”
Zun contemplated with a slow head shake. “You’re missing the point.” She turned up her palms. “It’s a staff that weighs a thousand times more than it is possible to weigh. It’s …” She looked left and right, lowering her voice. “…magic.”

Sunday passed, blissfully, in the same lazy fashion, though Connie made it two days in a row without an appearance—a first. Her chosen lifestyle invited the unexpected, of course. By Monday, his sense of triumph faded, and previous week’s insanity forgotten, life returned to the comforting groove of emptiness. Except that Connie missed a third morning. And his sharp senses hadn’t diminished. 
Removing an earbud, he heard his neighbor three trailers away, Hector Pickery, pissing all over his bathroom. The stream gurgled in the toilet, tinkled on the seat, splattered on the tile floor, and soused the cat before Luther huffed and ended his failed test with the music of Sarah McLachlan. He’d try again in a couple of days.

“Bhoedryn are real?” Zun squinted, but failed to muffle her excitement.
	“No.”
	“You just said it was bhoedryn.”
	“It was bhoedryn, but not what you think bhoedryn are.” Varik peered at Zun from under a bushy white brow. “They don’t ride brakken. They don’t steal ill-behaved children from their beds in the night. Bhoedryn do not spit fire or weave webs, and they have no tails or poison fangs.”
	Zun held her breath, absorbing each detail.
	“Follytales say they are short, dark as soot, hind legs like a wolf, arms and hands like us, but big forearms, wide and flat as oars. Hair like octopus tentacles pulled back, two black eyes big as your fist.” Varik’s attention wandered the room. “They sleep in the day and live underground, coming up at night to hunt and travel.” He shoveled a glorp of stew into his scraggly muzzle. “That’s all true.” 
Random inched away from the man with no less than three swords testifying to the truth of boogeymen.
	Zun digested the delicious new info. “So they are real.”
	“More or less.”

#WIPSnips * "Deth" is a very large puppy
“I would point out that you’re not approaching this rationally, but you show open contempt for the very notion of it,” she said.
“What you’re talking about isn’t rationality, it’s typical human behavior, which isn’t rational at all.” He gently slipped free of Deth’s embrace and walked to the kitchen, toward the pantry. “You expect me to care about the world because I live here, you think I’ll care about people because I’m one of them, but that’s not logical, it’s...it’s biological.” He grabbed three sandwich baggies, pausing to marvel at their presence exactly where he expected them to be, and filled each with peanuts from the gallon jug.

#writingcommunity #grateful I believe #writing is therapeutic I've battled an eating disorder my whole life. A little over 10 years ago, I started writing, and shortly after found the addiction piece of my disease gone, allowing me to overcome the rest. I don't know if it's causal, but I believe.

The menu screen returned.
	Drawing a long breath, he looked at the least obvious menu option, the one on which he was about to wager his life. Odshrenwoede guards used axes with metal blades. Hopefully their other weapons did as well.
“Ferrous Shield.”
A surge of static swallowed him, akin to the field always emanating from the gun, but exponentially more powerful, a static cocoon so dense it birthed a migraine at his temples as ringing screamed in his ears from the inside. Unable to push his eyes more than a squint, he saw the screen had gone dormant, resuming its transparency.

The insistent chok-chok-chocking of heels on tile marched from the front door to the main desk. 
	“Good afternoon,” a woman’s voice stated with a New England accent in a sharp, airy aristocratic urgency. “I am Bonita Hampshire, the attorney for Mr. Luther Kind.”
	Luther sat up and swung his feet to the floor. His lawyer? He never heard of Bonita Hampshire. He hadn’t made a call yet. Could Barney have found out and sent someone? Papers rustled at the desk.
	“You will find the signature of Dona Ana County Justice Esmerelda Kubo on this court order for Mr. Kind’s release. Be a lamb, and fetch Mr. Kind for me, would you?
	Thick fingers pinched pages and turned them.
	“Luther Kind, 1A,” a deputy said, indifferent. 
	A click unlocked the heavy door, and Luther pushed through into the stark, desert-dusty lobby of the Sheriff’s Station.
	With a smile that beamed like the pearly gates, a young Katharine Hepburn shot out a spear-hand quick as a switch-blade and followed it in his direction. “Hello Mr. Kind, I’m Bonita Hampshire, your attorney.” Chok-chok-chok. “How ahr you?”
	She gave his hand a single jarring pump.

Two extraordinary grey-green eyes captured his.
They were the color of a hurricane. The grey of windswept rain over the lush verdant foliage of late summer trees bending supplicant to a maelstrom. Cush rivulets of wavy brown hair bordered the narrow grace of features defined, in sweetest regard, by the loving shadows that knelt upon it. Her lips were parted, perhaps about to speak during the passage of normal time preceding this elongated moment of silently staring at each other.
“Dinner, sir,” she said, re-engaging normal time and exposing the awkwardness of inadvertently sharing slow-time with strangers.
	“Oh. I’m sorry.” He retreated to let her in, stumbling over the lip of the rug.
	The woman, holding a domed tray he hadn’t noticed, entered and settled her burden on the table next to the door before her delicate fingers went to work arranging a cloth napkin and silverware. Her hair, tied in places down her back, hung below the sash of the teal doublet that so complimented her eyes. A pleasantly tenacious scent of sweet wisteria and apples followed her, fighting the coarse stench of Havrook seeping through walls and windows.
He hadn’t anticipated—whatever this was. His thoughts swam in the moment-ago memory of her crystal hurricane eyes, and music accompanied the graceful sway of her fingers on the table as though a piano and each napkin or fork a key producing notes from different instruments. 
An idea stressed him, whether he should, or could, ask Hurricane to join him, knowing nothing of the local protocol. His digits twined and fiddled as he noted no ring on hers—would it mean anything anyway?—and he wondered what, exactly, he was considering doing about these sudden feelings, certain only that he wanted to remain near her for as long as possible.

Mandes boomed. “I am a seer! I know what will come. I can see it as clearly as my image in a mirror. When I look on a person, I see them in every moment of their life to come, all shimmering together.” He wiggled his fingers in the air. “If I concentrate on any of those future moments, their motions of that time unfold, peeks of the world around them fill in, a map of their life to come is revealed. I have had this gift for as long as I can remember.” He nodded approval to his memory. “Every man and woman has this shimmering, though I found long ago that most are not worth further attention. Even I have it, though I’m unable to see anything in it. Every living person has it. Until you. When I saw you at the recruiting hall, I might have been observing a dead man returned to life.” His face twisted. “Worse, the longer I looked, the more you...you sucked the shimmer from everyone else in the room, like filthy water spinning down a drain.”
