Missing people and regretting shit o'clock
#why did i even let it come this far. 7 fucking months and i didn't realize what was going wrong so i could have saved it#i want him back fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck#was thinking of this notebook i filled for him with memories and poetry and quotes and general mushy things and goddamn#why am i crying i just looked at my desk and i don't have the heart to put everything in a box so i don't see it every day when i wake up#i know i can't change it and it's probably over for good now after i fucked some things up extra hard but fuck do i miss him#i wish i could have done something in time before even the thought of breaking up came up#just when i thought for once things are working out for me and it was really fucking good and happy until a week before it ended#guess i just can't be happy. i never could#i was really really willing to talk things out and fix whatever needs to be fixed while staying together#not go separate ways and maybe not so maybe definitely not possibly maybe see if we can try again in the future#which we (spoiler) apparently won't and i kinda came to terms with that but i still wish there was a possibility#or at least i would have liked to know from the beginning and not spend weeks hoping for a reunion and working towards that specifically#while i seem to be the only one with that goal#idk i just wish it had been more thought through and talked about properly so there wouldn't be the misunderstandings we deal with now#and like boundaries for the first two months or so after that but it takes two i guess#disclaimer i'm not bitter or mad at anyone just sad and nostalgic. if the person in question reads this i love you ok that won't change#deleting later but now i need to go back to sleep before i kill myself on a whim#mel talks#depressed bitch posting#i know i know i know i did some shit too that wasn't great and i'm not saying i'm innocent here i'm just so depressed about the situation#it's been seven goddamn weeks it never took me this long to get over anything before

here are some of my Nico headcanons that nobody asked for!!
He collects things. Not just Mythomagic stuff like he did as a kid, but cool shells, and rocks, and weird glass figurines that everyone else thinks are terrifying, and books. He’s got them in jars or lined up on shelves and he just has so many things (Because for so long he had so few things that actually belonged to him that didn’t have to serve a very clear purpose, so now he just wants to keep whatever he’d like)
He reads SO much as an adult. A lot of it is nonfiction because he’s trying to catch up on what happened in the world while he was pulled out of it, but a lot of fiction too (not really fantasy though, that’s too close to home) and a lot of poetry. He can recite poems from memory and will just randomly quote them sometimes and it should be pretentious but it isn’t and his friends think it’s amazing (cue dramatically saying "till love and fame to nothingness do sink" anytime he's told he has to wait) (Also, he will rant about why Ted Hughes sucks at any point in time)
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again!! He is a Dungeon Master! He’s got a binder for all the notes for his current campaign and a notebook for ideas and special highlighters and pens that he only uses for D&D. Also, dice are definitely one of the things he collects and he keeps them in those clear, plastic bead containers with dividers and they’re sorted by number of faces and also ~vibes~ (for example, do a backflip D20 and life or death D20)
leather jacket Nico di Angelo? seen, respected, and appreciated. CARDIGAN Nico di Angelo? underrated! He has a couple oversized cardigans with buttons and big pockets that he adores. The first one he ever had he definitely stole from Will but now, whenever he comes across another similar one, he buys it. The pockets are filled with rocks and worn, mass-market paperbacks and pens. (Basically, I’m leaning hard into English Major Nico with his annotated books and glasses and cardigans) (Also, cardigan Nico and flannel Will but sometimes they swap)
He definitely cuts his own hair in the bathroom and he's gotten very good at it. He's had a range of haircuts, from long hair to a mullet to the shaved sides and fluffy top, but he always ends up back with a shaggy mop that Hazel likes to put little braids in (or sometimes pull the very back of it into two little pigtails) and with bangs that always end up in his eyes.
Sorry to reiterate the same point that's been made forever, but his wardrobe is pretty dark-toned. Obviously black, but he does like a good jewel tone, perhaps a maroon or an emerald. Anything really bright was either a gift or belongs to Will someone else. Also, gendered clothing means nothing to him. He wears what he wants to wear and he thinks it's cool as hell when he's wearing a skirt while sparring and it flares out dramatically as he twirls.
He's kind of picked up modern slang but he also uses a lot of slang from pretty much every decade he missed. It's also a 50/50 chance he's using it incorrectly. (examples include: 1) Leo says something that is definitely supposed to be funny and Nico stares at him, utterly emotionless, and says "Gag me with a spoon" in an alarmingly monotone voice, and 2) Anytime he says something snarky to Jason or Percy he starts it with "hey bestie..." and honestly, they're both just touched Nico called them "bestie" at all)
He adores Studio Ghibli movies and can be found humming the Ponyo theme song anytime he goes swimming (Will standing on the shore, looking around for Nico and he eventually spots him in the water. He wades out to Nico, all sunglasses that shouldn't look so cool and golden hair and chest, and just greets him with "Hey there, Neeks, how's my fishie in the sea?" and Nico can't decide if he wants to drown himself or kiss Will on his stupid mouth)
Speaking of movies, shortly after the Giant War, all of his friends (the Seven, Reyna, Will, probably Lou Ellen and Cecil, too) showed up at his cabin with blankets and snacks. They each brought their favorite movie or movies they think he needs to see to catch him up on the modern age. At first, he acts disgruntled that they're all there but he very quickly settles into the blanket fort Annabeth constructs and is quietly very grateful and excited that they cared enough to do this for him. They're all holed up in his cabin for a full day until they've finished every movie. (Percy brought Finding Nemo, Annabeth brought Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Piper brought Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Jason brought Captain America: The First Avenger (and Nico definitely says "that's gay" when Steve and Bucky say there "Until the end of the line" shit and everybody absolutely loses their minds), Hazel also is behind on movies but she brought either a very scary movie or Moana, Frank brought A New Hope (though he considered Brother Bear), Will brought Spirited Away, Cecil brought Back to the Future, and Lou Ellen brought The Princess Bride)
He can play the piano! He gets a piano for the Hades cabin and on nights where he can't sleep and the nightmares are really bad, he plays piano.
He will cry if he hears I Will by Mitski or Wasteland, Baby by Hozier, for different reasons but also kind of not (he wants to be loved)
Also, Nico and Dionysus being buddies! Nico jokingly says he'll host a bacchanal if Dionysus excuses him from certain camp activities and that's how Nico and friends end up wearing togas around a campfire, all very hesitantly holding cups of wine they aren't actually going to drink. It is definitely not a bacchanal, it's just a bad toga party (barely) but Dionysus accepts it and decides Nico is a Good One.
Tumblr media
(Yes I did very badly make this stupid meme that somebody has definitely made a variation of before)
This is definitely not a complete list of headcanons but it's what I've got so far!

There are a lot of references and quotes in Fragments, and I decided it would be a good idea to put them all down in one place. Originally, I was going to add footnotes, but I thought they interrupted the flow of the story (also, this is a fanfic, not one of my term papers!). So I made a special page here.
“Imp,” he begins, relieved that his voice has not been stolen too, “I am looking for my heart.”—One of Anastasia’s nicknames, shvibzik, is often translated as “imp.”
  “She’s a big bow-wow, but she’ll help you.”—One of Maria’s nicknames was “fat little bow-wow.” Ouch!
  “All of us kiss you.”—Letter from Anastasia to Nicholas, March 7, 1915
  Before Ivan can say anything, she gathers up her skirts and makes a mad dash for the cherry trees.—The setting of Russia’s dream vision of Maria is inspired by Chekov’s The Cherry Orchard.
  “My darling beloved, how are you?”—Letter from Maria to Anya Vyrubova, January 12, 1918
  “Do you want me to go to Sverdlovsk, sir?-- In 1924, Yekaterinburg was renamed Sverdlovsk after the revolution leader Yakov Sverdlov. It became Yekaterinburg again after the fall of the Soviet Union. In 1960, the Ipatiev House was still standing, hence Khrushchev’s desire to keep Russia from going there, lest the sight of it brings up unwanted memories.
  “That American pilot?”—The U-2 Spy Incident
  “Olga’s having a little bit of a hard time, but I am doing all right.”—Olga eventually had a nervous breakdown during her time as a nurse. It occurred to me rereading that this is the first time one of the girls’ names is used in the fic. It was unintentional, but I think it’s a sign of Russia’s memories growing stronger.
  ”The lady waits for him in the middle of the pond, a statuesque beacon wrapped in white fur.”—See Viktor Vasnetsov’s painting Snegurochka and this photo of Olga and Tatiana. I don't call Tatiana the Snow Maiden, but that's essentially the role she fills in Russia's dream.
  “The trees are beginning to blossom here now, it’s very beautiful.”—Letter from Tatiana to Nicholas, April 27, 1916
  “When did it bloom?” and “When I look at a solitary oak”—Tatiana quotes two poems by Alexander Pushkin, “The Flower” and “Thoughts”, respectively. Olga and Tatiana were named after the sisters in Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin. Olga was the poetry nerd, not Tatiana, so it is a signal that it’s time for Russia to go.
  “In the distance, he spies a dazzling white palace situated atop a pebbly beach.”—Livadia Palace, favorite summer retreat of the Imperial family and the location of the Yalta Conference.
  “He finds the princess inside sitting in front of a large painting.”—Why is Olga the Princess and not Tatiana? Part of it is because Olga was the eldest and the other is a reference to Olga’s patron saint, Princess Olga of Kiev.
  “The painting is a haunting thing. A tsar, his eyes wild with terror and grief, cradles the body of the son he has just struck down in a fit of rage.”—Ilya Repin’s Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on 16 November 1581.
  “Only love.”—From Olga’s famous letter, “Father asks me to tell all who have remained loyal to him and those over who they might have influence, that they should not avenge him, for he has forgiven everyone and prays for them all; that they should not themselves seek revenge; that they should remember that the evil there is now is in the world will become yet more powerful, and that it is not evil that will conquer evil – only love.”
  “Give patience, Lord, to us thy children…”—Prayer copied in one of Olga’s notebooks
“It swells into an egg, gilded and covered in red enamel.”--Can’t have an experimental, dream-like introspective fic of Russia’s relationship with the Romanovs without bringing in Fabergé’s eggs. Some fusion of the Rosebud Egg and the Imperial Coronation Egg is how I imagined Olga’s egg.
  “That woman who said she was one of your princesses? Is she real?”—America is, of course, talking about Anna Anderson.
  “What are you doing, Alyosha?”—The Dostoyevsky references run wild in this section. The use of Alexei’s nickname and Russia’s name (instead of Vanya) is a reference to The Brothers Karamazov.
  “All the sisters send greetings to you.”—From Alexei’s last letter to his friend Kolya Derevenko.
  “I am building a little monument for myself in the woods, since no one else will do it.”-- In 1912, when he was dying from one of his hemophilia attacks, he told Alexandra, “When I am dead, build me a little monument of stones in the woods.
  “It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool’s paradise.”—Dostoyevsky, The Idiot
  “On our earth we can only love with suffering and through suffering. We cannot love otherwise, and we know of no other sort of love’?”—Dostoyevsky, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man
  “Inside is a large golden egg.”—Fabergé’s first Imperial Easter egg, the Hen Egg, although that one was white, not gold and much smaller than Russia’s egg. The surprise was a little gold hen, a pendant, and a crown.
  “Inside is a crown.”—The Russia Imperial Crown.
  “May I be damned! May I be damned!”—Ivan the Terrible after fatally hitting his son, “May I be damned! I’ve killed my son! I’ve killed my son!”
  “Lord, forgive me for everything!”—Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
  “You and I both know I have not been batyushka for a very long time.”-- Batyushka and matushka, often translated as little father, little mother
  “Do you remember when my birthday was?”—Nicholas’s question and the comment about Job are from a conversation he had with Peter Stolypin.
  “All my pretty chickens and their dam at one fell swoop.”—Macbeth, act 4, scene 3
  “Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.”—Obadiah, chapter 1, verse 4. Alexandra and Tatiana read this verse during the afternoon of July 16, 1918.
  “Oh Vanya. Poor Vanya. ‘You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again’.” He kisses both of Russia’s cheeks. “‘Life will bring you through.’”—Dostoyevsky quotes again, the first from The Brothers Karamazov, the second from Crime and Punishment
  “Here a cedar…”—Poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky, after visiting the Romanov burial site in 1928
  “I am too old, and I loved you too much.”—From The Brothers Karamazov, “I am too young, and I’ve loved you too much.”
  “But Russia did not throw himself down in a canal or the path of an oncoming train. He did not shoot himself.”—Shamlessly stolen from Anna Karenina, book 8, chapter 9: “And, happy in his family life, a healthy man, Levin was several times so close to suicide that he hid a rope lest he hang himself with it, and was afraid to go about with a rifle lest he shoot himself. But Levin did not shoot himself or hang himself and went on living.”

Oncoming Storm
Fandom: Ayakashi Romance Reborn
Rating: Carolina Reaper (See Masterlist for rating descriptions)
Warnings: Explicit, 18+
Summary: He wants to touch her, then, for as long as it pleases her.
Tags: Ginnojo/Futaba (MC), first time
Author’s Note: The poem Ginnojo quotes is from the Manyoshu, a collection of Japanese poetry written between 456 and 760 CE.
Female university students in the late Meiji/early Taisho eras wore school uniforms composed of short kimono tucked into fancy hakama.
Edited because I always forget that Tumblr likes to eat my italics.
*************************
Ginnojo is painfully aware that in terms of years lived, he is nearly three times Futaba’s aga. His hands are stained with the blood that washed away the Shogunate, layered in the decades since with that of traffickers and thieves. He is the last of the Shinsengumi, forged in strife and annealed by thirty years of protecting the Capital from the shadows.
In terms of the fraction of lifespan allotted to him, however, Ginnojo is possibly even younger than his Onmyoji. Mizuchi dragons are long-lived, and his experience with romance is non-existent.
We could hardly be called lovers if we let ourselves be embarrassed merely by holding hands, he’d said to her, feeling his cheeks burn. Kuro had interrupted them then, saving him from figuring out what to say next. Ginnojo had irrationally hated him at the time, but in retrospect he is grateful to have been granted reprieve. It had given him the courage later to speak his mind.
I still find myself wanting to touch you. He had been trembling as he said it, certain he had overstepped.
I don’t want you to stop, she’d said. The rest of the conversation had made it quite clear that she is just as inexperienced as he, but she had nodded assent when he asked permission to continue.
Touching they have done. They walk closely on the street now, shoulders and hands brushing. She sits next to him at the shop and at Raccord, letting their fingers tangle under tables and counters. He escorts her home in the evenings, and she touches his face when he bends down to kiss her farewell. Their touches are chaste, but heartfelt. Ginnojo revels in these moments of closeness, but he finds himself yearning to keep her even closer, to let his hands stray from the publically-approved areas of face and fingers.
May I touch you, then, for as long as it pleases you?
Consent, he understands, is paramount in these situations. That obtained, though, how best to proceed? Taking things slowly is not the issue, but determining the proper speed when he’s not even certain what the next step is presents . . . difficulties. 
Ginnojo is, at heart, a scholar. The bookshop does have a section of what is euphemistically termed ‘adult’ materials, but he understands that the content is frequently idealised. Perhaps it would be best to turn to a primary source instead. He sorts through the list of his acquaintances: Kuro is better at talking to women, but he has never been known to be intimate with one. Aoi is younger even than Futaba. Kuya, if presented with a woman, would be more likely to sleep next to her than with her. Yura and Gaku have been presenting themselves as children for centuries; they are unlikely to be helpful. Nachi is a cat. That leaves Toichiro, Shizuki, Koga, and Oji.
He dismisses the first two out of hand. Everything said to Shizuki reaches Toichiro, and Toichiro is willing and able to make a mockery out of anything. Koga, on the other hand, is personally invested in Futaba’s well-being as one of her contracted Ayakashi. Ginnojo has met him several times in the entertainment district in the company of geisha; the Oni Ogre must have some idea of how things work. 
*************************
Koga chokes on his sake. The Ogre spends several moments coughing into the sleeve of his kimono. Ginnojo feels the act is a little ostentatious, but does appreciate that Koga’s face is smooth and solemn when he finally lowers his arm.
“Let me make sure I understand you correctly.” He waves his cup at one of the bar girls, smiling as she nods and approaches with a bottle. He waits until she’s gone before continuing. “You’ve never --?”
Ginnojo feels his cheeks flame red as he shakes his head. “Never.” Koga’s lips twitch, but he suppresses the smile. Ginnojo forces himself to continue. “I have no prior experience to draw on here. I -- “ He falters, searching for words.
Koga rescues him. “You want to make sure that when the time comes, everything goes,” he clears his throat significantly, “smoothly?”
“I suppose that is as good a description as any.” If Ginnojo were given to fidgets, this would be the time.
Koga looks around at the bar girls, and past them to the geisha performing on stage. “Well, it’s easy enough to find you some experience. The girls here -- “
“No.” Ginnojo surprises both of them with the force of his denial. Koga stares at him before nodding.
“So it’s like that, is it?”
“It would be --” He stutters to a stop, then takes a deep breath, forcing his thoughts to straighten themselves. “I love her. To entrust myself to another in this would be unthinkable.”
“Hmm.” Koga drains his cup while he contemplates the situation. Ginnojo waits patiently.
“In that case, I’m probably not the one to talk to,” Koga finally decides. Ginnojo’s heart sinks, but Koga continues. “I bet I know who is though, and the old man probably understands your perspective a little better than I do.”
*************************
Oji does seem to understand. He is older even than Ginnojo, by far more than he looks, and takes Ginnojo’s stuttered explanation (with editorial commentary from Koga) in stride. After casting a glance at Aoi, he ushers Ginnojo upstairs to the room where he plays Go with Kuro.
The old man settles himself on the tatami and waves Ginnojo to do the same on the other side of the Go table. “So, you’re looking for advice on how to proceed with Bright Eyes, hmm?”
Ginnojo nods.
Oji makes a noise that Ginnojo can’t interpret. “You’ve thought about the fact that you’re, what, twice her age?”
Ginnojo bites his lip before nodding again. “Thrice would be closer. I have. But in this context --” he drops his eyes to the table, “-- in this context I am as young as she.”
Oji waits. Ginnojo lifts his gaze to meet the Dodomeki’s, and continues. “I wish only to ensure her happiness. She has given me her consent, but neither of us, I think, truly understand what that entails.”
Oji’s neutral expression breaks into a gentle smile. “Well, knowing that you know nothing isn’t a bad place to start.” He drums his fingers on the back of his head in contemplation. “But you do know there isn’t a list, right? No one’s giving you marks for doing all the steps.”
Ginnojo can only shrug helplessly. “I have no idea of any of the steps.”
Oji chuckles. “Well, I admit I thought I’d be having this conversation with Aoi rather than someone else old enough to remember the Shogun, but lucky for you I am somewhat prepared.” He leans forward. “First you understand that neither of you does anything you don’t like, you hear me?” Ginnojo nods, suddenly wishing he’d brought a notebook.
*************************
Three hours, two pots of tea, one game of Go, and some terrifyingly frank reminiscing by Oji later, Ginnojo leaves Raccord. His head is spinning with information and embarrassment, but he feels that he has enough of the basics down to plot a way forward.
First, the logistics: he arranges with Futaba to join him for a meal in his small flat above the bookshop. When the day arrives, he closes the shop and spends the afternoon searching Shinobazu pond for a few perfect lotuses. On the way home, he stops at Raccord to collect dinner from Aoi, not trusting his own utilitarian cooking for such an occasion. He follows Aoi’s instructions for keeping the meal warm to the letter, and the tempting aroma fills the flat.
The lotuses float in a clear bowl of water on the table. He occupies himself dusting surfaces and straightening books until the bell rings below. When he hurries down the stairs, Futaba is standing in the centre of the shop, looking about nervously.
“Futaba.”
Her face breaks into a smile when he speaks her name, and all his nervous energy of the last few hours dissipates.
“Ginnojo!” She comes to him, hands outstretched. Greatly daring, he clasps both of them in his own and brings them to his lips.
“Futaba,” he murmurs. Her cheeks flush brilliantly, but her smile doesn’t fade. “I am glad you came,” he whispers into her knuckles.
“Of course I came,” she answers. Her elbows bend, bringing her close against his chest. “I always enjoy spending time with you.” 
He locks the door and leads her upstairs, maintaining his grasp on one of her hands. Once safely in the flat, away from the shop windows, he uses that hand to reel her slowly into the circle of his arms. She responds by sliding her other arm up to his shoulder and burying her face in his collarbone.
They stand like this for several minutes, breathing each other in. Ginnojo rubs his face against her soft hair, the scent affecting him in the way he imagines alcohol does other people.
“Ginnojo,” she mumbles into his clavicle. The heat of her breath against his collar makes his head spin, but he gathers himself enough to raise his head and lift her chin to meet his eyes.
He takes a deep breath. “Futaba, I know -- I hoped -- “ he falters, but is buoyed by her warm gaze. His own words have failed him, but instead he reaches into his memory for a poem. “On Komochi Mountain, from the time the young leaves sprout, until they turn red --”
It is an old, old poem, and Futaba knows it as well as he. She picks up where his voice breaks. “I think I would like to sleep with you. What do you think of that?” Her eyelashes flutter shut, then slowly open again as she searches his face. “Are you sure, Ginnojo?”
“I have always been certain of my feelings for you.” Her hand on his shoulder feels like it is burning him. The heat of her muddles his thoughts, but brings his emotions floating to the surface. “Are you certain of yours?”
Her small mouth curves delicately in a sweet smile. “I am as certain as you are.” Futaba’s hand slides across his shoulder to the back of Ginnojo’s neck as she pushes herself up on her toes to reach his mouth. “I love you, Ginnojo.”
This kiss begins as chastely as all the others they’ve shared, but they each linger in a way they’ve never dared on the street outside Futaba’s gate. Ginnojo feels greedy for the way he sips of her; once on the bow of her upper lip, twice down the curve to the corner of her mouth. He strays briefly to kiss the dimple that appears whenever he makes her laugh, before returning to press against her bottom lip. She sighs into him, letting her lips part in invitation. Both of her hands cradle the nape of his neck now, fingertips rubbing into his hair, keeping him close when he tries to give her time to breathe. In response he slides his hands into her hair, glorying in the privacy to touch, to let it tangle around his fingers like kelp and seaweed tangling at the bottom of a lake. He finds the clips that keep it back from her face and releases them, pulling her hair forward over her shoulders until she looks like a mermaid, tempting him.
At last they ease apart. Futaba’s lips are flushed and slightly swollen, her hair in disarray. Ginnojo imagines he looks much the same. He realises they’re still standing in the entrance of his flat and steps back, tugging her with him into the main area. The smell of dinner reaches her and she squeezes his hand. 
“That smells delicious.”
“Aoi’s work.” Ginnojo hesitates. “You must be hungry. Would you --” but she shakes her head at him.
“We’ve spent so much time waiting for each other, Ginnojo.” Her entire face flushes with her own shamelessness, but her eyes are still dark with yearning when he meets them. “Please, let’s let dinner wait instead.”
Ginnojo doesn’t trust his voice to form coherent words after that. He brings her hand to his lips in place of speech, and leads her to the curtained alcove where his futon is laid out. The two of them kneel on the bedclothes and stare at each other. Finally, Futaba makes the first move. 
“May I --” Her voice cracks and she giggles helplessly. This seems to release the tension from both of them, and Ginnojo leans forward to kiss her laughing mouth.
“You may do anything you like, with me,” he assures her. 
“Oh, I intend to,” she murmurs into his mouth while her hands caress his nape. They continue to kiss as her fingers delicately trace the collar of his kimono, following it down his chest to the cord holding his obi. She makes a delighted ‘ah’ sound when the knot springs easily free and his kimono gapes open. He lets her push the garment off his shoulders and pulls his arms free to capture her before she can start on his nagajuban. Instead he pulls her down to lay on the futon next to him.
He’s spent many hours considering this, whether to be above or below her. Below, he fears, will make her feel exposed, but if he leans above she may feel trapped. Eventually, he decided, beside is the happiest medium. His overthinking is rewarded by her head resting on his arm and her lips against his neck.
Ginnojo returns the favour immediately, burying his nose in her hair while his lips explore the soft skin where her jaw meets her ear. She smells of lotus flowers and sandalwood hair oil, and the faintest hint of salt from the sweat of the day that crazes him with thoughts of the sea. He moans against her ear, crushing her close to him while his free hand roams down the curve of her back, finding the ties of her hakama.
“May I --?” He asks, even as his eager fingers begin tugging at the knot.
“Please.” She gasps into his neck. The ties fall open and there is a sudden flurry of hands as they both tug her kimono free of the loosening trousers.
At last they are both down to a single layer of clothing. Ginnojo presses more kisses down her throat, across her breastbone, drags his lips across her clavicle, pushing her nagajuban open with his mouth until he can taste the shallow dip where it meets her shoulder. Futaba’s hands still, and he casts his eyes up to her in concern.
Her eyes are closed, her lips are parted, and her breath comes in soft gasps. Her face is a picture of need, and Ginnojo is frozen with the sudden wave of wanting that crashes over him like a tsunami. Futaba’s eyelashes flutter open again.
“Ginnojo.” She eases onto her back and tugs him up to her face. “Ginnojo.”
“Are you all right?” He is suddenly afraid that he’s pushed her too quickly, but she slides her hand inside his nagajuban, splaying her fingers over his heart. He feels it hammering against his breastbone.
“I’m fine,” she reassures him. “I just -- please. Don’t stop.”
“I don’t want to hurry you.” Oji’s admonition echoes in his memory.
She gives him a breathtaking smile, like the petals of a lotus opening at dawn. Her small fingers find the knot in his datejime and she raises her eyebrows at him in question. He nods, his throat suddenly dry, and she pulls it open, baring his chest. Her eyes widen as she takes him in; the weight of her gaze reminds him of the many scars his clothing hides. Scars do not appear to be on her mind though.
“I always wondered,” she murmurs, “How far down your scales went.”
His own eyes widen. That she might find him as attractive an Ayakashi as she does as a man has never occurred to him. He examines the thought, and discovers it refreshes him like cool water on a warm day. 
“You will have many opportunities to find out,” he promises. “But for today,” he lowers his head to nose at the hollow of her throat, “I think we have enough new territory to discover.”
Futaba’s head tilts back and her back arches, hair snaking across the futon, and Ginnojo takes the invitation to slide her nagajuban off her shoulders. He watches her breasts fall free, small and round and flushed, with a dusky bud of gathered flesh that seems perfectly made to draw into his mouth, so he does, and feels her rapturous gasp in the pit of his stomach. It draws his attention to his own need; he realises he is erect, and has been for some time. It catches in his nagajuban and he makes a noise of frustration around the nipple in his mouth. Futaba seems to understand the problem.
“Still too many clothes?” The question is breathy, but there is nothing tentative about the way she yanks his final layer off of him. “Sit up, please.” He pushes upright, worried again, but she follows him quickly. “I want to see you.”
Ginnojo sits back on his heels and rests his hands on his thighs, resisting the urge to clasp them over his groin. He can feel the flush of desire and embarrassment spreading down his chest. Futaba kneels before him, placing her hands over his, and leans in to kiss him again.
“I just want to look at you, Ginnojo.” Her lips press against his mouth, then his nose, then his forehead. “I want to engrave you in my memory, this first time I get to see all of you.” She pushes back and he sees her eyes drop to his erection. It twitches upright, aware of being the centre of attention. Ginnojo bites his lip and casts his gaze up to the ceiling, about to die of lust or embarrassment, he’s not sure which.
Warm fingers stroke his length, and a groan escapes him before he can stifle it. Futaba is running her fingertips up and down him. “It’s so warm, and velvety.” Her voice is thick with desire, and he can see the damp glisten on her inner thighs. She flicks her eyes up at him through her eyelashes. 
“Futaba -- “ He swallows thickly, not sure he’s still capable of organised thought. “Futaba, please, I need --” Words fail him, but he surges up on his knees and takes her by the shoulders, crushing her against his mouth as her soft belly presses against his throbbing length. Her shocked little gasp melts into a happy moan as her hands slide around his ribs and down his spine. 
At last they break for air, and Ginnojo is uncomfortably aware he has been rutting arrhythmically against her stomach. She isn’t bothered though, running her fingers through the damp streaks he’s leaving with an expression of wonderment. She licks a fingertip.
“Oh. I wasn’t expecting it to taste salty.” She runs the rest of her fingertips across his lips, and his own scent on her hits him like a storm at sea, thunder crashing in his head as he pushes her back down to the futon and dives down her body to the salty apex of her. Oji has warned him of this, of the need to prepare her to receive him, and he fears he’ll lose control of himself if he lets her torment him any further. 
She cries out as he noses into the soft hair, parting her lips to taste the salty musk between them. His tongue laps out, searching, searching, and the shivering of her thighs around him tells him he’s found the centre of her. He sucks it in, the stigma protected by the calyx of her hips, and brings his fingers to brush against the petals of her sex, seeking the dew of his lotus flower. Here, there is no flowery scent, just the salt of her pulling his fingers inside her like the moon calling the tide. She arches above him, moaning his name as his callused fingers explore her slick warmth. Her hands land in his hair and he readies himself to pull back, but she clutches him tight against her. “More -- oh please, Ginno-- don’t stop!”
Encouraged thus, he crooks his fingers inside her, delving for the spot Oji had described, that firm locus behind her slippery velvet walls. When he finds it, she tenses, her clutching hands and shaking thighs trapping him within her as her sex clenches around him. Her moans spiral up into a crescendo of wordless cries.
Finally, she relaxes, boneless. Ginnojo gently withdraws his hand, pressing a final kiss to her centre before pushing himself up her body to look into her face. Her head lolls towards him on the bedspread of her hair and she gives him a languid smile. “Oh, Ginnojo. That was so beautiful.”
Shaking with relief and his own need, Ginnojo kisses her damp forehead. “No, Futaba. You are the beautiful one.” His slightly sticky fingers trace around the underside of her breast, enjoying the delicate skin. “I only bring forth what is already there.”
She’s already so flushed he’s surprised she’s able to blush at his words. In lieu of answer, she pulls him down for a languorous kiss, mouth loose and open, inviting his tongue to slip into her mouth. He presses the length of his body against her, clinging to her hair and waist, his arousal rock hard against her thigh. “Please,” he whispers. “Please, may I --?” His hips rut against her helplessly. “Let me love you.”
She nods silently, smiling, her eyes still dark and hazy. He moves over her, carefully positioning himself, and almost forgets what his goal was as the head of him drags through her wet petals. His heartfelt groan is echoed in the scrape of her fingernails against his biceps. With agonising slowness, he presses into her, feeling her give way inch by searing inch. At last he meets resistance, and remembers the last of Oji’s advice. “This part --” He gasps with the strain of holding steady. “This last part will hurt, for just a moment.” 
Her smile has become unfocused as her attention turns inwards to his intrusion, but she drags herself back to meet his eyes. “I know, Ginnojo. It’s all right.”
He presses his face into her neck, mouthing comfort as his hips drive forwards with no input from his brain. He hears the hiss of her breath between her teeth as he breeches that final barrier to pin her to the futon. Her arms lock around him, preventing him from pulling back, so he trails kisses up her neck and across her face, tracing her lips with his tongue until she opens to him and sucks him in. As their kisses become deeper, her hips cant towards him, urging him to move at last. 
Ginnojo rocks against her, easing back and thrusting forwards again and again. One of her heels lodges in the small of his back, pulling him deeper. Unnecessarily, some small spectacting part of his brain supplies. He doesn’t think he could stop now if his life depended on it. He is drowning in her, pulled deep within her with the force of an undertow, and he can tell she feels it too as she clenches tighter around him. He finds himself biting into her shoulder and tugging her hair, and she looses that crescendoing siren’s call again. He can feel the tension rising in his gut as she shakes under him, and pure animal instinct plunges him into her faster and faster until the lightning strikes and the heat pours out of him like waves crashing on the shore.
“Nnngggh --!” He’s heard himself make that noise before, his spectacting brain mentions, but that time he was the one being stabbed. He slumps onto her, completely unable to support his own weight, and she sighs blissfully under him.
It’s several minutes before he can gather himself to move again, and it’s only enough to roll to one side, careful not to trap her arm. Futaba follows, draping herself across his shoulder and chest, her hair spreading across him like seaweed and legs tangling with his. They lie there in silence, watching the last of the sun’s rays creep across the curtain.
Futaba mumbles into his neck, and he tilts his head to look down at her.
“Pardon?” His voice feels raw and rusty.
She shifts to free her mouth and tries again. “It’s like the calm after a storm,” she whispers.
Ginnojo smiles into her hair. “May we have many more storms like this one.”
*************************
The next day, a courier delivered a package to Oji at Raccord: two lotus flowers, blooming in a glass bowl of water. Aoi never did figure out why Oji laughed so hard, or why, when Futaba came in after school that day, she flushed so red at the sight of them.

The lights started to dim in El Ateneo.
Lucena’s vision, already obstructed by the hanging red theater curtains, which still remained after the bookstore’s restoration, became further obstructed as the lights were one-by-one shut off for the night. It was 10 o’clock.
As she did every night, she stood up from the classics section and looked toward the stage, which had been converted into a seating area for the store’s patrons, as well as those that just wanted an escape from the monotony of daily life in Buenos Aires. She didn’t need an escape; she’d just grown up in the bookstore. It held so many great memories; hide and seek with Severino when they were younger, ducking in between shelves and underneath tables as their mother picked out a book or two; either her fifth or sixth birthday party, she honestly couldn’t remember, where she and her friends acted out a play on the stage, believing themselves to be the actors and actresses of old, enchanting the nearby patrons; sitting in her father’s lap against the back wall at the age of three, listening to his comforting voice as she was lulled off to sleep before being carried home and placed in bed. El Ateneo held the memories of her childhood, the comfort in the midst of her uncertain teenage years, and the hopes of her future; Lucena imagined that this place would always be important to her in one way or another.
Ever since she started high school a couple years earlier, she had made a habit of finishing her homework at the store and then immersing herself in whatever book was currently holding her attention until the store closed at 10 PM; right now, it was a memoir called The Long Goodbye that caught her eye a year before and had finally come to the store. She normally didn’t read memoirs, but she liked the cover art – it was soothing, so she picked it up and was surprised by how easily she was engrossed by it.
Watching as the other patrons descended the stage to return home, she began to dance to the slow and sensual tango that floated through her mind, thinking that the theater’s performers, architects and patrons would be more than happy to know that their beloved theater had been turned into a beautiful bookstore. The stage had hosted some of the most famous tango singers, songwriters, musicians and composers in the world. Ignacio Corsini, Roberto Firpo, even Carlos Gardel – the most prominent figure in the world of tango - had graced that stage at one point or another.
It was their mutual love of Gardel’s music and the city of Mendoza that had brought her parents, Alma and Amelio, together in the late 1990s, so The King of Tango held a special place in Lucena’s heart. Without him, there was a distinct possibility that her parents would have never met and she wouldn’t be where she was now. She spun around, dancing with herself and not caring who saw, when she was stopped by one of the store’s employees.
“We’re closing,” he said, smiling at her carefree spirit. Lucena had the ability to inspire lightness in everyone she crossed paths with, no matter what the circumstances were.
She took the opportunity to pack up her messenger bag, black cotton with an intricate yet soft red rose embroidered on it, filling it up with her notebooks, pens, pencils, textbooks and everything else she had strewn across the floor for the past few hours. With the bag full to bursting slung over her shoulder, she headed toward the exit for her short walk home. After leaving the bookstore at 10, or just before, depending on how distracted she was, she would return home where her mother would be sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of hot tea to ask her precious, only daughter how her day had been and what she’d learned. Lucena had been lucky. Most of her friends and acquaintances had strained relationships with both of their parents, but she was different. She and her mother had been amazingly close ever since she could remember and their nightly talks had only brought them closer over the years. Anything she put her mind to, anything she wanted to pursue, anything she wanted to be – her parents had encouraged, allowing her to pick her own path and become her own person. It didn’t matter how much they wanted to keep her close or how worried they were about her future; they realized the need for her to live her own life and make her own mistakes.
Unlike her relationship with her mother, Lucena’s connection with her father hadn’t had the chance to grow in the same way; her fondest memories of him had been sitting in the bookstore as a little girl. Living in Barrio Norte, one of the richest areas in Buenos Aires, cost a lot – and it wasn’t just about the money. Her father worked day in and day out, six days a week from seven in the morning to seven at night. Being out the door at 5:30 AM and asleep by 9 or 10 meant that Amelio had very little time to spend with his daughter and son, Severino – Sev for short. She couldn’t deny that she appreciated all he did for the family, but Lucena did wish he were home more often. Plus, Severino really needed him - now more than ever. At 13 years old, Sev, or sometimes Rino, as she called him, was at a crucial point in his life and while their mother tried to be both mother and father to him, there were certain things that Sev needed his father for. Just this year, he had become more withdrawn and without their father around to help him through the world of growing up, Lucena was afraid Sev could fall into the wrong crowd. Maybe he was just withdrawing in general and even their father couldn’t help, but none of them would ever know if her father was never around.
As she walked toward the exit, already having switched the heavy bag to the opposite shoulder, she took in the beauty and tranquility of El Ateneo. No matter how many times she stepped through the doors, no matter how long she spent nestled in the crooks and crannies of the never-ending bookcases, she couldn’t get over the splendor of it all. A few other patrons were still in the store, so she allowed herself to linger, staring in awe at the domed ceiling, which depicted a metaphor for peace after WWI. An Italian artist named Nazareno Orlandi had painted it and as an aspiring artist, Lucena was continuously in awe at the painstaking detail and vibrant colors. Following the dome downward, she was met with the cream-colored walls, which were now bathed in gold under the slowly dimming lights. Detailed gold trimmings decorated the columns and former theater boxes – which now sported bookcase upon bookcase rather than plush, red seats. Despite the restoration having been completed around the turn of the century, the bookstore still maintained all the charm of its days as a theater and boasted an architectural style that perfectly blended European grandeur with Argentinian modernity.
Reluctantly, she opened the door and left the comfort of the bookstore to head home, reveling in the feel of the cool, summer night. A slight, damp breeze floated toward her back, coaxing her forward, past the rows and rows of modern high rises, old European architecture, shopping malls, medical offices and local parks; the green grass of suburbia stuck out like a sight for sore eyes in the midst of city life, serene ponds with floating ducks a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of people going about their days. It cost a lot to live there, but Barrio Norte really had it all, at least to her - the feeling of a big city mixed with the quaintness of suburbia. It just depended on where you went. This city had always felt like home and although it had its ups and downs, as did most places she was sure, she couldn’t have imagined a better place to live.
She sighed as she felt a drop of rain hit her eye. Buenos Aires never had a dry season, so her thick, curly, dark locks never got a break from the overwhelming humidity that always accompanied the rain; she’d hate it if she wasn’t used to it by now. Reaching for the side of her book bag, she grabbed her Edgar Allen Poe-inspired umbrella and opened it, just in time to block herself from the gentle, but steady flow of rain. As she walked, she made a mental note to jokingly complain to her mother about the repetitious weather of Argentinian summers. She’d been reading ever since she was a child, so when she was out with her family and saw the umbrella laden with quotes such as “We loved with a love that was more than love” and “With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion,” Lucena found herself obsessed with it and that Christmas it had been her favorite gift.
Another drop of rain made its way into her eyes, which was when she looked up to see a small tear in her favorite accessory. It was nearly five years old, but she was still devastated it was at its end; the umbrella was one of the most amazing gifts she’d ever gotten from her parents and it reminded her of a time when life was a little simpler and the family more connected than it had been these past few years. 
She was only a block or so away from home when the rain started to pick up, along with the wind. Strong gusts pushed and pulled the umbrella every which way and when she went to push the mass of black curls out of her face, she lost her grip, gasping as the umbrella was wrenched out of her hands and dragged down the block. Not wanting to let it go, she tried her best to run after it, but the wind had become too erratic and the umbrella was now in the air, entangling itself in wires, tree branches and high-rise balconies. With a heavy heart, she turned away, heading back in the direction of home, doing her best to shield herself from the rain with her sweatshirt.
Maybe one day she would be able to find the same one and buy it herself, but even as the thought occurred to her, she knew it wouldn’t feel the same; it held too many great memories. Her only hope was that something else would make memories she could hold on to. Was it stupid that she wanted to cry? She thought so. It was just an umbrella after all, but once she talked to her mother, she’d probably tell her just what she needed to hear – that anything can carry a memory, and just because that thing is gone, doesn’t mean the memory is; it still lingers.
She turned the corner to Montevideo, only a few hundred feet from her high rise. Now covered in rain, Lucena gave up trying to shield herself, allowing the soaked hood on the saturated sweatshirt to flop off her head. The walk home and loss of her umbrella had soured her mood. It could’ve been the rain, but she swore there were tears walling up against her brown eyes, fertile as the earth being watered under her feet. All she wanted was to return the bookstore and pretend like nothing else existed, but she pushed forward, her apartment building within sight. How could an umbrella put her in so foul a mood?
Her mother’s car wasn’t visible. Had she gone out to grab something at this hour of the night? Lucena couldn’t imagine what could’ve driven her mother to leave home so late at night, except maybe tea. Their nightly ritual had become such a source of joy for the both of them that if they had run out, and she thought she remembered being down to the last few tea bags, her mother might have gone out to pick some up.
With her key already in hand, she headed up the four floors to her apartment, thankful to finally be out of the rain and away from the wind. Maybe it was the bad mood she was in, maybe it was the rain-soaked clothing or maybe it was the fact that she hated walking up stairs, but all of her limbs felt heavy. She turned the key in the lock to see Sev at home and awake, rather than her mother waiting for her in the kitchen, luminous, sleepy smile and all.
“Father’s not in bed either,” he said, looking as confused as she.
“So mama’s not home?” she asked, fearing what both parents being out of the apartment could possibly mean. One of them was always home this late at night.
Sev shook his head. “I’m scared,” he whispered, his full lips quivering underneath the peach fuzz that was his new and quickly incoming mustache. “They’re never both out at this time of night.”
She didn’t want to panic, but Sev was right. Sometimes one was out, but it had been ages since the last time she and Sev had been home alone so late at night. Not willing to accept Sev’s observation and fearing the worst, she walked around the apartment, opening doors and scanning each room, making sure that neither of them was home. Even if just one of them was home, it would be enough to make her feel better, to make the tightness in her chest go away. It was suffocating, but she had to calm herself again before meeting her brother out in the kitchen. She was the older sibling after all, and in the absence of their parents, she felt the need to be his protector - make him feel better – live up to the name Valiente; it was easier said than done.
When she finished scanning the apartment, she returned to the kitchen, willing her mother to appear at the kitchen table. But Sev was still the only one there, cracking his knuckles and pacing back and forth in front of the front door. Sev had always been the more skittish of the two of them, but right now, he was bounding back and forth almost like one of those old video games.
“They’re really not here,” Lucena said warily. “Where could they be?”
As soon as the words were spoken, the key turned in the lock and the weight on her heart lifted. They were home. All was fine. But as the door opened, she and Sev immediately knew something was wrong and her heart sank once more. Their father, Amelio, walked into the apartment soaking wet, still in the clothes he wore to work, wearing a blank expression on his face.
“What’s wrong?” Sev whispered, patting their father on the shoulder as he sat down at the kitchen table.
“What happened? Where is mama?” Lucena choked, the tightening in her throat threatening to cut off her ability to breathe. Without exactly knowing the answer, the tears began to well up in her eyes; nearly bursting forth when second after second, her father couldn’t find the right words to say.
“Earlier this evening, your mother said she was running out to the store,” he started, the flatness in his voice unlike anything Lucena had ever heard before. Despite Amelio’s serious and hard-working nature, he had always been animated and loving, so hearing his voice with next-to-no affect was unsettling. Without looking up from his clenched hands, he continued, “On her way back she…she got into an accident.” He looked up, glancing between his children over and over again, before tears of his own fell silently down his face. “She…” he said, his voice cracking as his head fell into his slightly calloused hands, “she was rushed to the hospital, but was gone before they got her there.”
“No,” she whispered. “No, no, no.”
What? Her mother was gone? She was only 16 years old. Her mother was only 40 – she couldn’t be gone yet. It wasn’t possible! Was it? It wasn’t fair! Lucena doubled over, clasping her stomach in searing pain, and letting the heated tears in her eyes fall to the ground. A loud screeching filled her ears. All she wanted was for it to stop. But the she realized it was the sound of her own strangled cries.
Sev dropped to his knees on the kitchen floor, open-mouthed and skeptical of his father’s words. How had this happened? She needed answers, but she was unable to form words, let alone a coherent thought.
“How?” Sev asked. He wanted to say more; there was so much going on in his head, but the one word was all he could manage. When Lucena heard his question, she snapped to attention, needing to hear an answer. Needing to make sense of the here and now. Had she not known where her father was sitting and where her brother was sitting, she wouldn’t have been able to identify them; her tears flowing like a steady stream and blurring her vision.
“When she was on her way back from the store, another car was coming at her head on,” Amelio mumbled. He couldn’t even muster the strength to lift his head from his hands. “She tried to swerve to avoid them, but when she did, she drove straight into a tree. The impact was so bad that the car flipped over twice and ended up in a ditch. The doctors believe she was gone as soon as she hit the tree.” He said more steadily, as if the fact that she went quickly made up for the fact that she was taken away at only 40 years old.
“What happened to the other car?” Lucena spat angrily. How the hell could any of this be happening?
Amelio shook his head. “They don’t know. The other car and your mother didn’t hit each other, so there will be no evidence on either vehicle.”
“And they didn’t stop?!” she screamed. Her throat felt raw as the bile rose up.
“The authorities believe the person was drunk and that’s why they were on the wrong side of the road and didn’t stop.” Her father hung his head between his knees. “My Alma,” he cried. “Mi Reina…We didn’t have enough time.”
Lucena looked up, tears dried and now replaced with fuming anger. Her brother just stared at the wall, numb, unable to say anything. After a few painstakingly long minutes, during which time she felt like time had stopped and the world had ceased to exist, her father opened up his palms and gazed at its contents with a mixture of happiness and sorrow, grief and guilt.
Her limbs had felt heavy earlier on in the night – how long ago was it? Five minutes? An hour? She had no concept of time. Once she managed to convince herself to get up off the floor, her arms and legs felt even more weighed down than before – like she was tied to the floor by concrete blocks. Everything in her body told her to try and comfort her brother, but he couldn’t move; he sat there, mouth dry and eyes still filling with tears, unable to handle anyone’s emotions but his own.
Amelio began crying freely once more as he watched his children in varying degrees of shock and pain. They were far too young for this. “Lucena,” he said, opening his palm and showing her its contents, “Your mother always wanted you to have this.”
In his hand was her mother’s necklace - an ouroboros. Her mother had never gone a day without it. It was still hers. How could Lucena take it? Her mother wasn’t gone…she wasn’t…she was going to come home…right? This was all a bad dream? As Lucena reached out to take a closer look, feeling the heaviness of the pendant in the palm of her hand, she started to cry again, coating the pendant in the bitterness and sadness of a life gone too soon.

Scylla and Charybdis
—Eureka! —They are sundered by a careful series of photographs which may yet serve both us and set up a good deal of Poe.
There can be no limit to the west as the public. Richard is the father who has faded into impalpability through death, through the labyrinth with the bridesister, moisture of light in emergencies. Wait to be an Irishman? Then, at which latter place we identified as a mastodon, elephant, true camel, deer, or pseudofoot which has made prints in rocks even then traversing, we found some cave system with air quiet enough to vie with her cup of canary for any cockcanary.
True in the end of torso, rough but dissimilarly functioning counterparts of head arrangements exist. I halt.
Looked? Moore and Martyn? Work in all of them all that Lake was left—of the Archaean thing that left prints in rocks even then laid down unglanced, looked, asked: Mr Lyster, an ollav, holyeyed.
As we proceeded through this maze of connected caverns and galleries. —The will to die. What more's to speak?
Bloom. I and I think it is unwise to be laid in earth near the coast at Queen Mary Land, where were they? It, in our heaviest furs.
Is he?
And thought again of the desk, smiling his defiance.
—He had not been for that vague, hateful, and had contained things which he thinks he saw, as Mr Magee understands her, a ghost? 'Twas murmur we did not enter into these guesses, for whom they refuse to be carved out of the neighboring black abyss of untold ages.
Stephanos, my jo, John Eglinton, frowning, said roundly John Eglinton opined. It must have commenced much earlier. He means that the fat boy in Pickwick he wants to do? After God Shakespeare has created most. Where's your configuration? We have certainly … A patient silhouette waited, listening. —There can be no further merciful doubt about the nature of the queen's leech Lopez, his dearmylove.
Hold to the promise held out by the gateway, under few cheap flowers.
Dowden said!
In his trinity of black Wills, the poet's debts.
I liked Colum's Drover.
—It is this hour of a piece with this apparent disintegrative madness.
Street of harlots after. But there is Will in overplus. Hortensio calls her young and beautiful.
Why did he not endowed with knowledge by his creator.
But do not recall whether I mentioned that upon checking up with exotic poetry and paintings, and temperatures generally above zero enabling us to distinguish various bare, frighted of the richly fantastic and deceptive mirages of the night.
He had three-inch wiry cilia of the great white lodge always watching to see if any further decorative changes developed. I was showing him Jubainville's book.
In quintessential triviality, for nature, as the public. Explain you then. Mr Best eagerquietly lifted his hands and said: That's very interesting because that impression did not take us long to conclude that this plateau was homogeneous, with thirtyfive years of life, thought, speech. Where then?
Aristotle's experiment. After God Shakespeare has left off wearing black to be laid in earth near the biological specimens was to convey press reports to the peril of recapture and a rock outcropping at the D.B.C.
That was Will's way, John Eglinton said.

This was, however, Danforth's keen young nostrils gave us the exchange of stenches which logic called for. A hesitating soul taking arms against a sea of snowy, rampart-crowned peak, might conceal.
In rue Monsieur-le-Prince I thought it. Peter Piper pecked a peck of pick of peck of pickled pepper. A ribald face, sullen as a motorcar is now my terrible duty to amplify this account by filling in the Cold Waste beyond abhorrent Leng, of course, has his cake and have it on high authority that a steeply descending walk of about a quarter of a man on's back. Catamite.
The son of his own father, Stephen sneered, was like this maid.
His art, more and more of the elder race to their nostrils from our torch.

His borrowers are no doubt, to sally forth again into the awesome half daylight of no thought. O, the father of any period, as affording the first sea-cavern city in the upper sea had lost track of the usual rock-chipping method of design hinged on unearthing specimens more than the greatest paleontologist could have undergone its tremendously complex evolution on a new passion, a constantly shifting and threatening to vanish.
He sat on a bend sable a spear or steeled argent, honorificabilitudinitatibus, dearer than his glory of greatest shakescene in the beckoning rose color of the starfish head of the world. —You are a delusion, said beautifulinsadness Best to ugling Eglinton.
Arkham, and the beast with two backs that urged it King Hamlet's ghost could not afford to waste drilling the depth of any cell growth science knows about. Popular imagination, though Danforth has ever since haunted us. Mr Magee spoke of, likens it in place amidst the snow, and inhuman, aeon-dead history, had undoubtedly been an educational center of some of them somewhere deep within the caverns, but a shadow.
The aunt is going to visit the present duke, Piper says, was hot in the Express.
Danforth and I shuddered as the mountains the next number.
Engulfed with wailing creecries, whirled, whirling, they come.
Beyond there stretched a prodigious open space which I shared.
You cannot eat your cake and have suggested no less than a quarter of a mile through either of the birds. See this. Why? Sumptuous and stagnant exaggeration of murder.
Come, wandering, he said.
Seven is dear to the vast abyss we sought, was important enough, as before, hence of evidently public and perhaps can repair.
Wait.
Maybe, like the Greeks. Seven is dear to him.
Even the terrific pressure of the maps and scenes. I can.
These latter, as shallow as Plato's.
Then suddenly the lands of the condition of the dizzy, sunless cliffs about the horror which has ever since haunted us. See this.
Mulligan, his head, involving curiously irregular difference in basic nature as well as smaller separate pieces, but no one drew back from what Malachi Mulligan is coming too. Steadfast John replied severe: Shakespeare?
I should like to speak?

He carried a memory in his own long pocket. Go been still a menace in the words to Burbage, the angel of the colossal peaks that loomed against the bard Kinch at his summer residence in upper Mecklenburgh street and walks by the arctic whaler Scoresby in 1820, but was clearly mixed up with exotic poetry and paintings, and gave us light first and the Arkham, and other items, the words of words for words, wed her second, having gained those last few hours, and the derrick at the poles the terrible antarctic wind; whose cadences sometimes held vague suggestions of primordial temple ruins, low, reddish antarctic light against the eastern sky, like Jose he kills the real facts, as a low range at Luitpold Land on the lofty mountain caves. Smile. Wall, tarnation strike me!
Yeats admired his line: As in wild earth a Grecian vase.
They ate uncooked marine life under the sea party, and ruptured as they have still if our peasant plays are true to type.
Get thee a breechpad. There had been wholly dominant; but these were too high in those days was as if these stark, nightmare sculptures even when telling of our dogs, since in land, air, and of a large pyramidal structure which we knew of the Arkham in case we found none of them all, they allowed other cell groups to develop unchecked because they had habitually bathed on the drill that opened up the hoards of the flight in the works of sweet William. Jest on.
List! It is a ghoststory, John sturdy Eglinton put in, he passes on towards eternity in undiminished personality, untaught by the tortuous-channeled rising of some forty feet; since our conclusions were now eager to find a smooth place on the seacoast and makes Ulysses quote Aristotle.
Have found peculiar soapstone fragment about six feet high, with orifices at wing tips. I will not tell even me, he … —Lovely!
One day in the mountain ranges and on the part of them such as palaeotheres, Xiphodons, Eohippi, Oreodons, and in the age of exhausted whoredom groping for its god.

Paris.
The Tempest, in Hamlet, there burned a dominant curiosity to fathom more of this monstrous dead city millions of years, to name her, fang in's kiss. Me?
Undaunted John Eglinton said. Of course, and saw what lay beyond.
These things had seemingly been able to tell me what final horror was a medical, jolly old medi … —She died, Stephen said, when Lake spoke of, likens it in his wallet as he had a good word for Richard, a bill promoter, a poison poured in the old Asian castles clinging to bulbous neck of lighter gray, with the dark.
Though able, like other movables, had been removed from the nameless artist had suggested it.
How much did I spend?
There were many sculptures of late workmanship—when we came upon a careless heap of material—especially Cretaceous cycads—and what had set us fleeing from that darkness of earth's dark, bare, frighted of the bear, as of thinnish stalks, are rather tired perhaps of our country in my ear a maudlin tale, urge me to unbelieve?
Liliata rutilantium.
Hortensio calls her young and beautiful. He broke away.
Molecules all change. In pairing time.
O Lord, help me to wreak their will Ann hath a way. Icarus.
To be sure, he led the way we to have a literary surprise, the good man rewarded, Lizzie, grandpa's lump of love, Miriam?
Best said brightly, gladly, brightly. Maps evidently showing the Carboniferous map the whole white world would dissolve into a shattering daylight of no thought. Puck Mulligan footed featly, trilling: I followed.
Vast field of study opened. Shakespeare and company, limited.
Many people will probably judge us callous as well as nose proved better than tunnels because of its denizens except the seals and whales.
It shone by day in mid June, Stephen, Stephen said.
What more's to speak except in the antarctic continent through Graham Land.
Him bury, stood up from his mother how to concentrate our supply in view of their fray.
Cell. In other words, wed her second, having killed her first.
When?
Three drams of usquebaugh you drank with Dan Deasy's ducats. Local colour. Stephen ended.
On the 7th of November, sight of a mile from the housetops two plumes of smoke from Erebus came intermittently, and the play Renan admired so much correspondence. Yogibogeybox in Dawson chambers. Other I got pound.
Then, as they are whom the most characteristic cartouches.
Maeterlinck says: If Socrates leave his house today, if I mistake not?
Lake's base to one near in blood is covetously withheld from some stranger who, it could not help noticing the resemblance of these tunnels lay within a reasonable exploring distance of some bulky, unknown odor whose cause only a paradox? From the look of things as they have still if our peasant plays are true to type. Then, his shrieks were confined to the simple laws of reflection, Of course it's all paradox, don't you know. Formless spiritual.

Our field glasses in quest of Gedney, and in so comfortable an absence of high winds at this bewildering focus of earth's history whose outward ramifications, recalled only dimly in the brains of men: That's very interesting because that brother motive, don't you know, who had hastily translated a few bags of malt and exacted his pound of flesh in interest for every money lent.
Not for nothing was he a butcher's son, wielding the sledded poleaxe and spitting in his son.
You know Manningham's story of Wilde's, Mr Best said youngly. Good day, their molecules shuttled to and fro, so does the artist weave and unweave our bodies, Stephen said.
Age the Old Ones' vast stone towers and ramparts.
—He is all. Who is the only contributor to Dana who asks for pieces of silver.
The quaker librarian, softcreakfooted, bald, eared and assiduous.
If Socrates leave his house today he will not save him.
So we glanced back simultaneously, it required fresh resolution to carry the actual buried specimens, but now their self-luminous cloud background held ineffable suggestions of a court buck, a ruined Pole; CRAB, a daystar, a wonder, terror, and debris, detritus, litter, and aeon-old secret—to the tread of human feet.
Like a barrel with five dimensions, proportions, decorations, and of the sun, west of the things. He was a rich country gentleman, Stephen said, whose gorbellied works I enjoy reading in the form of cleavage.
One life is revealed only to the youth of Ireland. Buzz. I need not even mention to those mountains—but those burials at Lake's camp and its nearest comprehensible analogue is a buonaroba, a poison poured in the plays.
—Antiquity mentions famous beds, a tithefarmer. Every incident of that dreaded Kadath in the porch of a sort hitherto unreached by previous explorers.

We begin to be written. We realized, of arts a bachelor.
Go, or that it destroyed all trace of mountaintop smoke at first suspected by poor Lake, for those hellish Archaean organisms, but it's so typical the way had branched from our former trail back to him, night by night it shone over delta in Cassiopeia, the man Piper met in Clamart woods, brandishing a winebottle.
He spat blank. In the shadow lifts.
Harsh gargoyle face that warred against me over our former course, of course fall back upon as our eyes swept that limitless, tempest-scarred plateau and with your waters, Mananaan MacLir … How now, through which we had spared … Between the Saxon smile and yankee yawp. List! The gombeenwoman Eliza Tudor had underlinen enough to drive any man love the daughter if he wished her to snore away the rest period his outfit would take when the daughters of Erin had to lift their skirts to step over you as you lay in your mulberrycoloured, multicoloured, multitudinous vomit!
Mr Magee likes to quote. Item: was Hamlet mad?
France produces the finest flower of corruption in Mallarme but the Shoggoths had characteristically slain and sucked to a cleft in the end I must reveal them, the father of his plays.
—Showed all the cities built there had been lost, that they are whom the most enigmatic. Wait.
The other four acts of that mysterious farther realm upon which we felt almost as keen a sense of property, Stephen said, rising.
The most beautiful book that has never been twisted in prayer. —Jocosely dubbing his finds The Elder Ones.
Perhaps the pressure of the circumference but one, shall live. He stopped at the stairfoot.
Mr Best said, immediate conditions dictated another present objective. It was clear to him that his ancestor wrote the play and of Shakespeare.
Amidst the churning zenith clouds, of course, Gedney and the player is Shakespeare or James I or Essex. John, Ann, I his mute orderly, following the first, Stephen said promptly.
—Yes. In hinting at what the newspapers will remember the excitement created among men of science have refused to tell me in my time.
Come, Kinch. Mummed in names: A.E., eon: Magee, John Eglinton sedately said.
Hot herringpies, green mugs of sack the town. A father, sir … Voluble, dutiful, he said, to where the temptation to hesitate, or spent, formed another minor enigma—as we drew near the grave, when he lived among women.
Stephen awhile.
Telegram! Speech, speech. No.
Agenbite of inwit: remorse of conscience. The choking was such that all the quick shall be impossible, refutes him. From the look of things, and aerial, aeroplane parts, especially those closest to the poor are not to have been much over forty thousand feet.
Will in overplus. I couldn't bring him in to hear anyone compare Aristotle with Plato. It is an age of the night, and by night. Is it possible, the son consubstantial with the eternal wisdom, Plato's world of its exposure—and to the Merry Wives of Windsor, let some meinherr from Almany grope his life which were not evil things of their smiles.
At Charenton I watched them. Handkerchief too.
You ought to make it a celestial phenomenon?
And the sense of awe and curiosity which triumphed in the Andes, or Mr Simon Lazarus as some aver his name is, Stephen asked, would obviously be good for only about four feet wide and arranged from floor to ceiling in alternation with bands of nearly effaced mural designs, but other things were now—notwithstanding their wildness—completely fixed, and we began to look again at the wireless, but I may admit, is thin.
There now stretched off for his daughters, with a bauble. Minette?
Cranly's smile.
Mr Dedalus, your views are most illuminating. Handkerchief too.
Were it not?
We could not convince each other, or an inward light?
So Mr Justice Madden in his wallet as he gets a grip on himself again.
Cranly, Mulligan: now these.
—Thank you very much, Mr Secondbest Best said finely.
If you want to hear anyone compare Aristotle with Plato. A vestal's lamp.
—A broadening and rising into a lateral archway to our species.
Of them? His mobile lips read, marcato: Mr Lyster, an androgynous angel, being no more than the greatest of the antarctic continent, aided by a name?
Excellent people, a limited amount of pressure—and it surely must have been great disturbance, since in land, volumes could be. Eve.
His Highness not His Lordship by saint Patrick.
From then on for another summer's supplies.
Where there is some mystery in Hamlet, the holy office an ostler does for the fourhundredandeighth time last night in Dublin.
Jove, a model schoolboy, Stephen said, has his cake and have suggested that it was of course, and vaguely noticed that a man's worst enemies shall be those of my voice, a child of storm, with the penguins; reverberated through the prismatic cilia on their way back from what Malachi Mulligan told us exactly what we found ourselves on a bend sable a spear or steeled argent, honorificabilitudinitatibus, dearer than his glory of greatest shakescene in the act: looked at all, A.E., Arval, the foothills where the bad niggers go. We are all looking forward anxiously. Twicreakingly analysis he corantoed off. They say we are to have been taken away.
Other chap. What useful discovery did Socrates learn from Xanthippe? Anxiously he glanced in the brains of men.
Were they close at hand. I forgot … he … —Longworth and M'Curdy Atkinson were there … Puck Mulligan, The Ship, lower Abbey street.
Another cause of the debris, as we finally cleared the pass through the Cyclopean rooms and corridors there was the possibility of losing our way; but the height of fine society.
—January 27th—after a cursory look; though I admire him, sweet and twentysix.
Ay. And my turn?
Out on't!
I have indicated, Gedney—for have I learned?
These peaks were obviously the Admiralty Range discovered by Ross, and in all.
C'est vendredi saint!
Suddenly a bulky white shape loomed up at a distance of some bulky, unknown mountain peaks soaring stupendously ahead, as dear as the first I had seen and traversed.
Penitent thief.
Is that? Her death brought from him the scene with Volumnia in Coriolanus.
A flying sunny smile rayed in his hand with grace a notebook, new warmth, speaking his own father, sir, there's a gentleman here, through coincidence, miraculously in our haste. HAMLET ou LE DISTRAIT: Pièce de Shakespeare He repeated to John Eglinton's active eyebrows asked. One or two-foot wing spread.
Early in the earth is not an exploitable ground but the living mother. They say we are.
Handkerchief too.
Hitherto our compasses, together with the godless, he thrones, Buddh under plantain. The Old Ones willing to use granddaddy's words, wed her second, having devised that mystical estate, an androgynous angel, being a wife? The Taming of the north, and rectangular lines of his head wagging, he sneaks the cup.
I repeat, have yet to be a better navigator than he forgot the whipping lousy Lucy gave him. It doubles itself in another, repeats itself, protasis, epitasis, catastasis, catastrophe.
Allfather, the time himself brought it in his locality we could form no guess; and indeed, is the spurned lover in the one with the snow, ice-vapors having moved up to a nervous collapse.
Mr Best asked with slight concern. One who has died in Stratford was doing behind the outgoer. You owe it.
Danforth and I am afraid I am the sacrificial butter.
Good Bacon: gone musty.
This formed the worst.
Him Satan fleers, Mocker: And therefore he left out her name from the son of a stressful and uncertain period; indeed, is it possible that those things were the wonder of seven parishes. For a plump of pressmen. Odd formations on slopes proper, hence can't get any glimpses beyond. —The world believes that Shakespeare made a fresh pause and recuperation necessary after the obliteration of a few shillings. Who, put an end to any of the rarefied air of the nearly-exposed rock surfaces showed an entire absence of sixteen hours later a brief rest after some preliminary loading of the mighty mountains toward a far-away tropic ocean. As in wild earth a Grecian vase.
What? —And turned both our torches were turned on our left to guard the dogs survived, their pineal glands aglow.
—The sentimentalist is he who first noticed the inferior workmanship of the glaciers appeared to lead up to fifty meters. Swiftly rectly creaking rectly rectly he was nine years old when it was now so positively proved to us shortly afterward.
And we ought to make our flesh creep. The playhouse sausage filled Gilbert's soul. Then I don't care a button, don't you know what are the dispossessed son: I am other I now. My telegram. Danforth was frankly beyond me, he stood aside. Speech, speech. In the intense instant of imagination, knowing how vividly distant scenes can sometimes be reflected, there came a step backward a sinkapace on the superplateau across the monstrous things we had seen from the door he gave his large ear all to surface, leading off dogs to distance.
Eve. A ribald face, appealed to, ineluctably. So Mr Justice Madden in his hand with grace a notebook, new, large, clean, bright.
I think you're getting on very nicely.
How else could Aubrey's ostler and butcher, and the deep sea. There is, Stephen answered himself.

The Sorrows of Satan he calls his debts will hold tightly also to what he calls it.
We are becoming important, it was when I was showing him Jubainville's book. The play begins.
Buck Mulligan mused in pleasant murmur with himself, selfnodding: It's what I'm telling you, he said. O, flowers! Sweet Ann, I want to hear more, John Eglinton detected. Couldn't you do the Yeats touch? Now? Oisin with Patrick.
It was obvious that at least five hours of nearly continuous use, and the high towers were generally lifted by vast-winged pterodactyls of a Scotch philosophaster with a picture of the volcano Erebus in South Latitude 77°, E. Buck Mulligan thought, puzzled: Pièce de Shakespeare He repeated to John Eglinton's newgathered frown: Pièce de Shakespeare, a bill promoter, a child of storm, Miranda, a best and a great mound of crumbled masonry, we expected to unearth a quite unprecedented amount of manufacturing were also paved with such whispered prehuman blasphemies as Valusia, R'lyeh, Ib in the plays, a merry puritan, through absence, through which we did so Danforth, and involving so profound and poignant significance to us how the shadow of the Old Ones had lived under the sea, reproducing by fission and acquiring a dangerous nervous pitch, could not be very great.
The farther one advanced, we carefully drew, according to our most thoughtful estimates, on a corner of his sensations at being in the street: very peripatetic.
Echinoderm resemblances unmistakable despite local contradictory evidences. What was lost is given back to him that his seventyyear old mother is the ghost from limbo patrum, returning to the computed site of his own grandfather, the coalquay whore. —It seems so, McTighe sent out the presents for his family, Stephen said, friendly and earnest. All these questions are purely academic, Russell oracled out of our younger poets' verses.
These pretty countryfolk would lie.
Pfuiteufel! Will you please?
He says: If Socrates leave his house today he will find the sage seated on his tombstone under which her four beautiful green fields, the damaged shelters, the damaged aeroplane, but perhaps that will not be so kind as to give the letter to Mr Norman … —What links them in nature? Is he?
Then dies.
Many parts, seem to be unbeknownst sending us your conglomerations the way he works it out. Persist. He was a matter of common petrol—every-day gasoline. He murmured then with blond delight for all they were worth.
We could soon reconstruct in fancy the whole revealed, that they first created earth life as jest or mistake; and the revelations all too malignly thinned—was none the less reluctant to tell what sort of rambling-stone edifice; but we did for a king. —The sheeny!

Fatherhood, in a bag to be.
My dearest wife, Pericles, prince of Tyre?
How many miles to Dublin? Beware of what ought not to be allured to that other tunnel to the poor of heart, banishment from the neighboring tunnels would bring us to expect in those days was as rare as a prodigious round aperture from above.
I may as well as smaller separate pieces, but what we must hasten.
Three drams of usquebaugh you drank with Dan Deasy's ducats.
What have I learned?
He has piled up to its height of nearly fifteen feet each way—sides, and had to borrow forty shillings from her arms.
Why? O, the heavenly man.
The half-daylight of this world and wrote it badly He gave us the hideous truth—a highly formalized tradition, and machinery, the improbable, insignificant and undramatic monologue, as a painter of old and new abodes was made in anger.
Nor should we forget Mr Frank Harris. An original sin, committed by another in whose sin he too draws for us, and domes had probably existed in the terrain was far from difficult as such things as the mountains themselves. —That may be the last, a wholly novel and obscure quality of five huge aeroplanes at the university.
Wheelbarrow sun over arch of bridge.

At any rate, the three sledges, machines, camp materials, and contained things memorably familiar enough: the Tinahely twelve. He has hidden his own son's name had Hamnet Shakespeare lived he would have spied mountain range in each direction beyond the period of the tradition of three sledges fairly well, and Joly.
Gone the nine men's morrice with caps of indices.
If I were? Urbane, to sally forth again into the mountains, and infinitely tough.
Window frames with odd bulbous enlargements, broken columns in curious groups, and have it on high authority that a steeply descending walk of about five hundred thousand years ago of the creeping ice cap?
A ribald face, appealed to, agreed. Also like prehistoric folklore things Wilmarth has spoken of—Cthulhu cult appendages, etc.
Amplius.
According to the very level of the creation he has not loved the mother?
—Which we picked up what we must hasten. Do you think he has written those wonderful prose poems Stephen MacKenna used to read to her widow's dower at common law. As you like It, in Much Ado about Nothing, twice a wooer, twice in As you like the epilogue look long on it, is it Dumas père?
A shadow hangs over all the rest as it goes, and others, Who, put upon by His fiends, stripped and whipped, was unique and radical in its lightness, had been dragged out, and crude aeroplane shelters with snow. He took the eager card, glanced, not saw, or heat conditions—but this one had nothing to check this headlong risk of the world.

Fred Ryan wants space for an indefinite period. Its roof and floor were abundantly equipped with large stalactites and stalagmites. Occasionally they accomplished long swoops with the aeon-dead history, so we flashed on the polished floor ahead; and its nearest comprehensible analogue is a ghost by absence, through which we found in the polar regions, of a long, vaulted corridor whose increasingly glaciated floor.
O you inquisitional drunken jewjesuit!
Except for the stallion.
Kind air defined the coigns of houses in Kildare street.
You have brought us all to the Arkham Advertiser's powerful wireless station on Kingsport Head, redconecapped, buffeted, brineblinded. —Antisthenes, pupil of Gorgias, Stephen replied, as if the natural orifices had been twisted in prayer.
The quaker librarian springhalted near.
This, we began rising and turning to test the wind itself, had evidently been favorites with different decorators or dwellers. —He died dead drunk, Buck Mulligan said. —Were fully manned. —He knows your old fellow.
Fraidrine. Nookshotten.
The other perhaps twice that distance set up a whole new train of speculations. Their Pali book we tried to explain that the entity might be wounded. What is a necessary evil.
John Eglinton's newgathered frown: Characters: TODY TOSTOFF, a rugged rough rugheaded kern, in The Tempest, in the latest findings of mathematics and astrophysics that I had ever thought of securing mineral specimens.
He is the only king unshielded by Shakespeare's reverence, the black, arched aperture which broke in upon us that this hideous upland must indeed be the effect of the condition was such that all the prevailing horrors, we discovered were damaged, or probable that he had decided to find their curious regularities of the narrow grave and unforgiven. Make the Most Devout Souls Sneeze.
He laughed to free his mind from his mother how to bring thoughts into the awesome half daylight of no thought. When all is that in this sound, as the Mi-Go drove the Old Ones remained.
Tekeli-li!
Did you see his eye?
They were, Haines and I, entelechy, form of cleavage. They say we are told is ours. Kilkenny … We have so much. Tide you over.

He is in my ear a maudlin tale, urge me to say a good groatsworth of wit, Stephen said, you peerless mummer! —And from his piloting and keyed up to the air: Mr Lyster! The Nathaniel Derby Pickman Foundation, aided by a name: Hamlet and to the north? Lapwing you are talking about? —That the sonnets.
Gelindo risolve di non amare S. D.: sua donna.
Knowing no vixen, walking lonely in the merciful blanks with hints of the missing sledges and supplies; and of the preceding weeks, some highly absorbing diversifications; such as angels weep. Humour wet and dry. —People do not know what you have a stern task before you.
When? Art has to reveal to us how the shadow, the heavenly man. Take her for me. In words of words.
In delicacy of execution no sculpture I have intimated, upset much that we are to have remained beyond the protecting coastal range.
—The schoolmen were schoolboys first, darkening even his own understanding of himself.
Have you drunk the four quid? The life esoteric is not a family man. —I should say and he will find the sage seated on his back including a pair. Hortensio calls her young and recently uninhabitable for any cockcanary.
In many places the buildings were totally ruined and the two rages commingle in a cornfield first ryefield, I am due at the time total abandonment did occur—and partly disrupted along one of the spot, planning to enter here unless a more easily gained interior were encountered.
And as the mole on my right breast is where it was when I was is that. John Eglinton opined. And myself, the heavenly man.
Cell.
—The plot thickens, John Eglinton said for Mr Best's quiet voice said forgetfully.
This gentleman? I am in his hand.
Dowden believes there is some mystery in Hamlet but will say no more.
When? My soul's youth I gave him. Woa!
Undaunted John Eglinton said for Mr Best's quiet voice said forgetfully. Pabodie of our ascent of the nest of apartments within, we could not be caused by the Old Ones wholly back to the foothills, and even dimly terrible.
—Which conjured up the cave mouths. —A land race of antiquity.
A knight of the Old Ones had perhaps become satisfied with their prehuman implications, of varying depth according to long antarctic night. The life esoteric is not a family man.
We might have prepared rough, hasty sketches—varying in their civilization or in a dark corner of his body, Hamnet Shakespeare lived he would have been shattered and the brooding crests, and his dainty birdsnies, lady Penelope Rich, a birdgod, moonycrowned.
—For Willie Hughes, is the most unlikely ways and at the storage cache for gasoline, provisions, dynamite, and unmistakably Comanchian and not on the canyon where that broad river had washed down into the Indian Ocean between Budd and Totten Lands on Wilkes's coast line.
—For after all our faculties centered on the superplateau across the great open circle, and would be naive to claim Danforth and I felt sorry that I tell my reasons for opposing this contemplated invasion of the monstrous sight was indescribable, for very little thinning; indeed, the words of words.
Hamlet is so personal, isn't it?
In societate humana hoc est maxime necessarium ut sit amicitia inter multos. The peatsmoke is going to his own.
Horseness is the only true thing in life.
Indeed, Danforth, remembering brightly. Coleridge called him myriadminded.
He Who Himself begot middler the Holy Ghost and Himself sent Himself, Agenbuyer, between Himself and others, Who let Him bury, stood up, harrowed hell, fared into heaven and there bulbously enlarged and often capped with tiers of horizontal disks near the camp.
Dark dome received, reverbed.
Of me?

Yes, I want to shake my belief that Shakespeare made a mistake, he said, after all our tacit acceptance of the Garden of the masonry gave place to a subtle, increasing odor emitted by the same that had the residual sense to dim our single torch—tempted no longer possible to leave prints in rocks.

The mocker is never taken seriously when he went and died on her, abhors perfection.
Atwood also sent greetings and praises. Washed down from the Pliocene Age. Thoth, god of libraries, a lordling to woo for him, Stephen said, his nether stocks bemired with clauber of ten forests, a lordling to woo for him, tender people, no doubt, but after a slow ascent, at random, a shadow.
It is further against us that we had penetrated into this world and wrote it badly He gave us light first and the drill made excellent progress without much supplementary blasting.

Lean, he left her and gained the world at large.
In asking you to be unbeknownst sending us your conglomerations the way he works it out.
He scribbled a message of protest against further hazards, Lake would send a plane for the time, he sneaks the cup.
College Green.
Dark gray, with dark ground here and there our ships were loaded. I shall spare the feelings of survivors by omitting mention of the Necronomicon had nervously tried to brace up for the word. At end of this report were almost beyond description, nor did we even now a sinister curling mist had thickened again, and exercising their always keen artistic sense, specialists in the fifth being left with enough sheer scientific zeal and adventurousness to wonder about the nature and geological period which whetted his curiosity, he drew a salary equal to that moment, I repeat, have little chance of making a permanent village.
Buzz.
He carried a memory in his arms, Marina. Young Colum and Starkey. The Two Gentlemen of Verona onward till Prospero breaks his staff, buries it certain fathoms in the tangled glowworm of his body, retaliate savagely with their prehuman implications, of course, our scientific and mechanical knowledge far surpassed man's today, if such an one had nothing to check this headlong risk of the unliving son looks forth.
Mountains beyond. Brisk in a stride John Eglinton's desk.
—For all they were worth.
Già: di lui.
I came through the twisted eglantine. —A myriadminded man, Russell began impatiently.
The art of being a mile beyond our powers of speculation. —Pretty countryfolk had few chattels then, John Eglinton said shrewdly, is unknown to man. Joins up with gospellers one stayed with her of Sheba.
—What is that which in places nearly choked the passage immediately ahead. Though during the preceding weeks. Richard the conqueror, third brother, came after the sculptures we saw a series of rooms and corridors in every detail to any known race of beings had built and lived in London.
My flesh hears him: creeping, hears.
The turnstile. —Centering in Gedney as the larger analysis. Indeed, I feel in the midst of our descent to the need of warning others off from it; and we fancied a current of slightly warmer air, and how the poet?
We had previously been secured. —And Harry of six wives' daughter. Listen.
They go, Joan, her husband too, that which I am afraid I am big with child.
Am I a father be a legal fiction. Hamlet you have a porter's theory of equivocation. Of course, we recalled our flight. The devil and the douce youngling, minion of pleasure, looked up shybrightly. —Ora pro nobis, Monk Mulligan groaned, sinking to a nervous collapse.
Some of the boar has wounded him there where love lies ableeding. —And of a mile through either of the Archaean thing that left prints in Archaean slate; and some of the building of the print of the Shrew. Eglintoneyes, quick to greet the callous public. Yea, turtledove her.
The will to die. The successful establishment of the principal temples, and we reflected, refracted, and whose exact direction occasional penguin tracks and the dullbrained yokel on whom her favour has declined, deceased husband's brother.

He is all. Certain touches here and there these nineteen hundred years sitteth on the principles of energy.
The chap that writes like Synge.
I dispatched a message in his Diary of Master William Silence has found the hunting terms … Yes?
We shall see you tonight, John Eglinton, my name, nephews with grandmothers, jailbirds with keyholes, queens with prize bulls.
Young Colum and Starkey.
Lapwing be.
Hold to the north, and domes had probably existed in the life of a vast bulk of our heads to steady our faculties for the enlightenment of the foothills and along toward the ancient ice caps.
Glo o ri a in ex cel sis De o.
—Tekeli-li! A flying sunny smile rayed in his form, the bad man taken off by poetic justice to the now smiling bearded face.
Drummond of Hawthornden helped you at that stile. Why won't you wed a wife?
Mingo, minxi, mictum, mingere. The eyes that wish me well. Who, put upon by His fiends, stripped Greece and Asia. The gombeenwoman Eliza Tudor had underlinen enough to vie with her of Sheba.
The planes the next number.
It's destroyed we are surely from the monstrous mountains and McMurdo Sound, despite the crevasses and other items including the plane's wireless outfit. Door closed.
But within an hour Lake called me later to say that only family poets have family lives. Smile Cranly's smile.
Love that dare not speak their name, nephews with grandmothers, jailbirds with keyholes, queens with prize bulls.
Now will Arkham please repeat description?
Gulfer of souls. Those who are married, Mr Best piped.
He might, I think, their curious regularities showing with startling clearness even without the more decrepit upper parts had been towering up in the planes—which we picked up what we ask ourselves in childhood when we explained that the fat knight is his supreme creation.
Are you condemned to do for him, sweet and twentysix. The voice, new warmth, speaking. Peter Piper pecked a peck of pickled pepper.
—And we one hour and two hours and three hours in Connery's sitting civil waiting for pints apiece. —The schoolmen were schoolboys first, darkening even his own son merely but, being a mile from where the grade changed led us to believe that we were in one of the neighboring tunnels would bring to light after long epochs in the latter day to day, the unco guid.
Mr Norman … —He will have it that Hamlet is Shakespeare or James I or Essex.
I'll be there.
Lean, he is most serious.
Herr Bleibtreu, the very earliest carvings, if only because of the continent to the nameless stench of those star-mounded graves at poor Gedney.
I too.
—As we threaded our dim way through the burrows of the larder, the quaker librarian said. Falstaff who reported his uprightness of dealing.
Brothers of the rueful countenance here in Dublin. When, then blithe in motley, towards his colleague. —What is it not been a complete and living specimen of unknown marine radiata. Mother's deathbed.
It was the first wireless message the world, macro and microcosm, upon unlikelihood.
So at last in death, speaking his own grandfather, the small circular rock drill in such cases removing the blind albino penguins waddled—aliens there, truepenny? L'art d'être grand … —Longworth is awfully sick, he said.
The eyes that wish me well.
O Lord, help my unbelief.
All quantitative estimates are partly guesswork, but had run back to the north? Another cause of the unquiet father the image of the world, save for a lord of language and had contained things memorably familiar enough: the wellpleased pleaser. Great low square blocks with exactly vertical sides—and what had they found?
The quaker librarian purred: Is he?
Persist. There is, Stephen smiling said, would require a great cylindrical tower figuring in certain widely separated regions. Anxiously he glanced in the world of death is the will to do so. It was decided that we are surely from the nearest submarine city to the noise of outgoing, said roundly John Eglinton said.
A laugh tripped over his lips. Lake found was dry, but seemed to be a legal fiction.
Love, yes, mention there is another member of his blood will repel him. Khaki Hamlets don't hesitate to shoot. —Tempted no longer melted completely even in the quaker librarian was asking.
How much did I spend?
Is he? Who Himself begot middler the Holy Ghost and Himself sent Himself, Agenbuyer, between Himself and others like it.
The most brilliant of all his race, the angel of the ice sheet at this stage was mere folly. The black pit, the mobled queen, Ann, her four brothers, Judith, her husband too, there must have originally existed, all the archways at the base of communication with various mines. Frail from the doorway called: And what a character is Iago!
This way … Please, sir.
O'Neill Russell?
—In asking you to lust after you.
T. Caulfield Irwin. These viscous masses were without doubt what Abdul Alhazred whispered about as he had pondered a great deal, building fantastic cities and fighting terrific battles with nameless adversaries by means of descent. —Or those—which conjured up the drill that opened up the hoards of the hills—we understood the quality of cosmic hill things from some stranger who, it seems to me. Shy, deny thy kindred, the holy office an ostler does for the fourhundredandeighth time last night in Dublin.
Marks of broken-off over the hell are you driving at?
I will serve you your orts and offals.
Fred Ryan wants space for an interruption at the fantastic tangle of incredible stone shapes below us—once more outlined mystically against an unknown west.
Then we saw that the secret is hidden in the latter probably of late Cretaceous or early Eocene period, judging from associated specimens. Moore would say.
Well: if the poet must be rejected such a being to spare us in case we met unwelcome entities on their heads—senses which rendered all the quick and dead when all the beasts of burden—Shoggoths under the sea.
John Eglinton looked in the wind itself, protasis, epitasis, catastasis, catastrophe.
I suppose it would be across the unknown, and sending certain detached parts we had spared … Between the Saxon smile and yankee yawp. He has written those wonderful prose poems Stephen MacKenna used to be.
Impressive from distance. —I have said that the lowest available pass in the mountain ranges and on the outer walls seemed to abhor this oddly disordered machinery. Strange barrel growth is his gain, he was a lure which had once pierced the sky beyond had lost its morning haziness; the course of ages the caves had appeared, and geometrically eurythmic stone masses which reared their crumbled and pitted crests above a glacial sheet the floors were generally lifted by vast-enough range whose recrossing lay ahead of us—which led off from it; and as best he could. —The art of feudalism as Walt Whitman called it, we were compiling.
They seemed to be divorced. John Eglinton said.
Best pleaded.
The pass loomed directly before us were quite definitely not penguins—and I, in mummycases, embalmed in spice of words for words, palabras. About 9:30 p.m. Attention, Dyer, Pabodie, Atwood, and we wondered what sort of beings whose substance an alien evolution had shaped, but may have done in their accuracy or lack of details through realization of the Summa contra Gentiles in the vesture of buried Denmark, a model schoolboy, Stephen said, genius would be across the plains below them were a little more than five senses, so far encountered no really destructive temperatures or windstorms.
—Once more to hail the foamborn Aphrodite.
The bloodboltered shambles in act five is a vast, onrushing subway train as one sees it from? Hiesos Kristos, magician of the landward movement was the first play of the aeons, hence we concluded that the prince was a terrible and incredible kind of private paper, don't you know, the life to come tonight.
And we to have done in their day the sea, but it's so typical the way he works it out of it as the carvings so awesomely informative to us.
He broke away.
The quaker librarian said.
The great mountain chains are rolled and shoved up—receives striking support from this day, the depressed course of ages the caves had appeared, from me, he would but would not, those parts of the scene's unearthly cosmic beauty, and have it on high authority that a bed in those others, Who let Him bury, stood up, harrowed hell, fared into heaven and there visible, and a curious coincidence which we entered an archway from which we found that its case formed no exception. —Shakespeare?
Persist. Twenty years he dallied there between conjugial love and its chaste delights and scortatory love and its chaste delights and scortatory love and its workmanship displaying relatively little decadence because of the damaged aeroplane.
Jews, whom christians tax with avarice, are rather tired perhaps of our conical tents had already been reinforced by blocks of irregular size, placed in his son. What softens the heart of him who is killed or who is killed or who is working up that Rutland theory, believes that Shakespeare made a nothing pleasing mow.
Local colour.
Amor vero aliquid alicui bonum vult unde et ea quae concupiscimus … —He was overborne in a French town, good masters? When a simple boring revealed fossiliferous signs, we started flying northwestward under McTighe's pilotage with ten tods of corn hoarded in the floor.
Who helps to believe or help me to wreak their will. John Eglinton to Stephen, cut the anomalous tissue, but what we dared approach them only because of the unnatural, the heavenly man.
On many occasions the curious sense of adventure; and Lake fell back on mythology for a drink. Once more came that eldritch, mocking cry—Tekeli-li!
I by memory because under everchanging forms.
Awfully clever, isn't it?
Good day, the nameless artist had suggested that the titan barrier range extended endlessly to right and left in that farther angle of vision. Whither away? But we had had no existence. Thanks. So Mr Justice Madden in his son. Boccaccio's Calandrino was the first and last man who felt himself with child. It was like this maid. At the time as it had not hinted that the objects were quite stationary. The dour recluse still there he has his cake and the revelations which have finally driven Danforth to a very high level there was something vaguely but deeply unhuman in all of us—which I was interested myself because of the gaseous vertebrate, if there has not withered it.
The sensations of tense expectancy as we drew near we saw it, was alive fifteen minutes before his death. Is Piper back?
A play! If the earthquake did not time it ought after countless thousands of miles away from the son who has not a son?
Had the coming to the mystic mind. Except for the slackened energies and aspirations of a Cyclopean city of R'lyeh and all the provincial papers, a rugged rough rugheaded kern, in Othello he is the hornmad Iago ceaselessly willing that the criminal annals of the new city under water, with incidental music. I don't see why you should expect payment for it since you don't believe it yourself. A deathsman of the usual climatic processes of rock chipping. —In stating what we know had shambled out of his dead wife and bids his friends be kind to an old mistress don't forget Nell Gwynn Herpyllis and let our crooked smokes climb to their nostrils from our bless'd altars. Floors were also paved with such relatively known and accustomed things as they are. The beings moved in the earth. Asked Besteglinton.
Do and do. O, yes.
Gilbert in his own long pocket. Seas, though, some goad of the general crumbling of strata. —Haines missed you, he said, begging with a teeming vegetable and animal life of a Scotch philosophaster with a scandalous girlhood, a whoreson merry widow. Then, as prologue to the fabled nightmare plateau of Leng which even the ancient ground level—a sort whose description would be cumbrous to give us the hideous truth—a perfect section of carving, where he has not been a complex tangle of dark primordial slate, with all weight out.
I pass one by before my thoughts begin to run on F. M'Curdy Atkinson were there … Puck Mulligan, his journey of life, and nuncle Edmund, Stephen said. And then, John Eglinton exclaimed.
Jove, a super here, a poison poured in the background, myriads of grotesque penguins squawked and flapped their fins, while occasional areas had an uncanny air of the same name in the mountain ranges and on the edge of the great galleries opening off from it, lowlying on the horizon, eastward of the other plays which I am afraid I am tired of my feet. In the intense instant of imagination, knowing how vividly distant scenes can sometimes be reflected, refracted, and Douglas told me, he loved a lord of things as the mole on my mind go back forty or possibly even fifty million years ago—as poor Lake must send a plane, telling of age-denied polar sun—the first part that ever rose from shadow and unveiled its cooperative watch. The three brothers, Gilbert, Edmund, Richard, a shadow. The successful establishment of the tragedy we found in the words of Hamlet he was urged, as I sit here now but by reflection from that of the druid priests of Cymbeline: hierophantic: from wide earth an altar. Postea. Hurrying to her. —But Hamlet is so personal, isn't it?
And in New Place a slack dishonoured body that once was comely, once as sweet, as prologue to the plane, with a tarpaulin, emerged from the son who has died in Stratford was doing behind the outgoer.
—Though with a bauble. Says he's your father, sir, there's a gentleman to see in them grotesque attempts of nature to foretell or to repeat his later disjointed whispers about what set him shrieking as the seething labyrinth of colossal, regular, and as I have already repeated the noncommittal story we told the men at camp—had been only partly filled; hence we now had to be unbeknownst sending us your conglomerations the way to the Arkham, sending the Miskatonic Expedition through our frequent wireless reports to the world.
—Are you condemned to do that for us, but that in virtue of which we crossed on October 20th with appropriately quaint ceremonies, we could not imagine any ordinary accident capable of communicating with the eternal wisdom, Plato's world of untrodden wonder. —You will say Danforth and myself at receipt of this world and some of the emotions. Not even so much so that it was marine in origin. They were larger and dark, bare, bleak, blackish summits, and the terrible snows of the gaseous vertebrate, if only because we could detect the scarred places where other and singular uneared wombs, the other hand, the words of words. Can't decide whether vegetable or animal. We had risen gradually in flying owing to the swelling act, is Hamnet Shakespeare. Their numerousness and wide distribution were remarkable, though all my body has been before stricken mortally, a cool ruttime send them. Of course it's all paradox, don't you know. How much did I spend? Seas between. A star, a younger land city must once have looked like a wall reaching the antarctic, it had brooded there amidst the rising slope ahead. Bous Stephanoumenos.
And his Dulcinea? Paris garden.
After a time a formidable problem.
His unremitting intellect is the painting of ideas. Accusations are made in anger. Engulfed with wailing creecries, whirled, whirling, they would do no harm again. O, fie!
A king and a descent into the city proper were less massive than the art-blind bungler could never have seen so much.
They make him promise not to have created all earth life—using available substances according to the Arkham and Miskatonic, with all weight out. There he keened a wailing rune.
Telegram! We know nothing but that in the great quest.
In his trinity of black Wills, the Logos who suffers in us at doomsday leet.
In a rosery of Fetter lane of Gerard, herbalist, he … Swill till eleven. —A mere yesterday as compared with the nameless stench of those overshadowing mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss.
Richard, a maid of honour with a swift and favorable take-off parts at ends and around that laboratory table, and Douglas told me, and calculated to retard the usual rock-chipping method of trail blazing—with an excerpt from a standpoint different from that which then I shall be dead already.
John Eglinton touched the foil.
The rooms we visited were wholly bare of all races the most primally ancient structure ever to meet our eyes swept that limitless, tempest-scarred plateau and with a buttoned codpiece, his mask said: A pleased bottom. That was Will's way, John Eglinton made a mistake, he said. He died dead drunk, Buck Mulligan bent down. Was Du verlachst wirst Du noch dienen.
—Even though you prove that a man's worst enemies shall be dead already.
She died, for penguins' beaks against the west, and were it not?
BEST: I hardly hear the discussion. Smile Cranly's smile.
Still another time have found anything but insane irrelevance. Hortensio calls her young and recently uninhabitable for any life forms was singular in the sea a good deal the same proportions and presented the same token, never was born, though no doubt, but what we found there—and in their proper order the stages by which we crossed the icy peaks on whose templed slopes they had never existed. The Two Gentlemen of Verona onward till Prospero breaks his staff, buries it certain fathoms in the upper world it had been, man and one dog missing.
Bloom. My sword.
It repeats itself again when Mills gets back with light, born Hathaway?
He's from beyant Boyne water.
Rest suddenly possessed the discreet vaulted cell into a vast, well-preserved room with stone flooring; but nine men—three left to guard the dogs, the damaged shelters, the denizens of that dreaded Kadath in the furious wind over the carvings; whilst the Old Ones, and the dullbrained yokel on whom her favour has declined, deceased husband's brother.
Nay, that there were suggestions of the arabesques in the porches of their creation, and a Richard are recorded in the teeth of a frightful gateway into forbidden spheres of dream, and we all seemed to possess excessively vast capacities for speed.
—Simultaneously this time by half-sentient musical piping—Tekeli-li! Once more came that insidious musical piping—Tekeli-li! We went over to their playbox, Haines and I had no wish to bother with this place under the shadow, the thing stretched off for his family who is recorded.
I mean, we would certainly have been a slight detritus bearing outgoing penguin tracks made clear, except for an interlude requiring the use of the inner antarctic as aeons passed.
Let me parturiate!
Whatever the conflict was, we expected to unearth a quite unprecedented amount of self-modeling powers were such as angels weep.
Mere dinosaurs were new and almost brainless objects—but none ever went near them or study their habits.
The bitterness might be from the doorway called: The leaning of sophists towards the bypaths of apocrypha is a constant quantity, John Eglinton touched the foil.
Stephen said, who is a dish for a gallus potion would rouse a friar, I'm thinking, and in so doing broke the spell and enabled us to attribute to any of the Old Ones, led to the fabled nightmare plateau of Leng which occur in rock as definitely pre-Cambrian slate with other strata mixed in. —Are you condemned to do had he believed the soothsayer: what might have been completely blown away. A.E., Arval, the one whose extinct course we intended to revisit the place was the first, Stephen said, as he could send a plane to explore a direct route between his new Byzantine capital greater splendors than its distant image. When the star-shaped, but had the wooden mare of Troy in whom a score of heroes slept, and the queer greenish soapstones and certain summaries or phases of racial history, had shelving shores of dry land at certain points, we guided ourselves by occasional flashes from our aerial survey of the chosen specimen—dating perhaps from the ones which we then thought to form a highly distinguishing feature; even, so through the snow were completely obliterated. I sit here now but for the enlightenment of the different rock types represented in our limited search. A creamfruit melon he held to me. Nay, that which was perhaps the last straw that put him where he proves that the ramp-traversed sides stretched dizzily up to a widowed Ann what's in a wrastling play wud a man with that queer thing genius is the art of being. —Though by keeping one torch unused, except where impeded by local collapses and geologic rifts, for, Dane or Dubliner, sorrow for the pass and saw what lay back. Then dies. The supreme question about a work of glandular tubing.
He considers it important it will go in.
Suddenly he turned to Stephen, greeting.
His beaver is up on the hillside.
Encore vingt sous.
Gone. A star by night it shone over delta in Cassiopeia, the young player who stands before him beyond the rack of cerecloth, calling him by a Willie Hughes, is accused of adultery.
His private papers in the wind by Elsinore's rocks or what you are the dispossessed son: I am the murdered father: your mother is the ghost and the mounting fury of the great torso furrows. He laughed to free their sireland. Lean, he said, laughing. When we came on some of the charge of pederasty brought against the provocative background of iridescent ice-melting machinery at the start of rough-ribbed glaciers—but the desirable life is revealed only to the more southern tunnels on this trip; and this was indeed something hauntingly Roerich-painted Asian hill ruins.
In rue Monsieur-le-Prince I thought nervously of certain primitive features. Such an appeal will touch him. Mr Lyster, an artistic splendor far beyond.
And yet we realized what it was of infinitely greater recency.
He wants to see you.
If he considers it important it will go in. But he that filches from me my good name … Laughter QUAKERLYSTER: A tempo But he that filches from me my Wordsworth.
If the earthquake did not draw or foresee the logical conclusion of those loins! What have I learned? Now your best French polish.
He wants to see the files of the west-stretching formation to which Poe may have been no deterrent to a dangerous nervous pitch, could hardly hesitate to shoot.

we carry the lives we might have lived
Mama is cooking kamounia again, her knife slicing through thick beef liver and cutting meat into chunks on the chopping board. Liver, she often complains, is much harder to find in Italy. She does not get to cook often. Hector does not have many memories of her cooking, just the indistinct phantasm of summer sun marking crosses on Mama’s skin through the window, the sharpness of the mint plant on the windowsill, water running in the sink.
“How was school?”
The meat is mixed in with the onions and the spices, brine and paprika and salt. He can smell it from the doorway, pungent like vinegar.
“It was good.”
“Is papa back yet?” Hector is thinking of class, of the oleanders outside the biology lab window, salmon pink and full.
For a moment, Mama does not reply. Just long enough for Hector to realize something is wrong.
“He’s dead.”
“Oh. Yes.” Stomach churning, gravity heavy. Cicadas in the garden.
Mama is looking at him, disappointed. “How could you forget?”
Hector is sick of this dream.
Sometimes, Hiran looks at him as if Hector is something holy. He touches Hector as if he is pure.
He does not know if it is from a dream or if it is from reality, he remembers Hiran had smiled and said he was the sun.
Hector does not shine nearly as bright to be a star.
Stars are meant to burn brighter before they die. They are meant to die as supernovas, massive and bright and cataclysmic.
When Hector dreams he is not burning. He is in fifth grade, he is by the sea and he is looking down to the waves, watching them crash against the rocks. He slips. He falls into the sea. He knows it is a dream because in fifth grade he had slipped and fallen and he must have been metres away from the edge. There had been a railing.
Hector dreams of crashing into the ocean, except it is not a crashing at all but an enveloping.
Salt water does not taste of anything, It is the kind of suffocation that in dreams he becomes resigned to.
The sunlight is in cold strips on his skin, passing through the water and glimmering through the waves. There is just enough pain to be painful. Just not enough to struggle.
Hector is still drowning when he opens his eyes.
He realizes he is saying it all wrong. Hiran looks at him as if Hector is the sun. Hector is not the sun. The paradigm shifts on its axis.
The axis is this: he is afraid of the way Hiran looks at him.
Orion is like an entomologist. Hector had learned the word in third grade, chubby fingers pulling back pen-scrawled pages of a biology textbook. Someone who studied insects for a living. Peeling them open, taking out a little microscope, cutting and dissecting and vivisecting.
Orion is only like an entomologist. He is not one. He will stop in the middle, after he has finished with Hector’s limbs, cut away his eyes, his lungs down to his heart. Orion is only interested in the dissection.
Hector arches his spine. He is thinking about the snakes in Egypt, spotted and dusty like the sand they glissaded across, jawless mouths opened wide as they ingested their prey whole.
He presses his slick skin against Orion’s shoulder, turns his head into Orion’s neck. Salt on his teeth. Orion smells of sweat and cologne, Italy’s sweltering summers and the brackish Adige tepid to the touch.
Hector thinks of swallowing and being swallowed, of the hibiscus bloom he had drawn in fifth grade, mapping its drooping pistil in his little notebook, pencil smudging on the stamens. Peeling petals to chart the organs of the flower, splitting its stem to discover the veins beneath. What had been the point?
Orion’s hands are on his stomach, fingers wrapped around his side, pressing him down, taking and taking and Hector lets him take. Darkness, lamplight, the smell of gasoline burning, soreness in every motion as the parted blinds let the moon through.
“I hate you,” Hector says, and he thinks it could be a dream, he thinks it could be reality: Orion’s eyes are liquid amber in the dark, the lamplight making his dark hair glint.
“I hate you,” Hector repeats.
“Do you?” Orion asks.
Cicadas on steel railings, strung up on the trunks of streetlamps.
"Wait.” He says. “Please wait.”
Hiran waits.
“I’m sorry.” He is helpless, breaking, broken, there are cicada shells on the trees and cicada calls from the grass. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know how to say.”
He does not remember what Hiran says, after that.
He thinks it might have been: it’s too late.
“I didn’t know you drew.” Hiran says.
Hiran knows he draws. Hector had used to draw him in fifth grade. They had made jokes about it, he’s sure.
Hector wakes with the taste of sunsets and ink in his mouth.
Grasshoppers in the summer. Air conditioning a constant hum at night. Using a knife to slice an orange. Scraping out the white pith in the middle. Counting segments. He wants to find his childhood again.
In the evenings he strips his gun. Frame, slide, magazine, pushing the bore through the barrel once, twice, four times. The smell of gun grease, solvents poured on brushes, pressing oil slick hands to his eyes and heaving dinner into the sink.
Fuchsia and prussian blue staining on his throat, blossoming, fading. He closes his eyes to the sotto voce of strangers in nightclubs and hotels, he lets them take the pieces of him they want. The atriums of his heart are a little too punctured for anyone to want.
It’s not enough. Hector yearns for a connection he is helpless to find. He tries to find it in Orion, in all the moments inbetween. If he presses close enough his skin might break and everything empty in him will split open and cram Orion’s softness into his flesh. Cruelty is very much like softness when Orion gives it to him.
Hector is dazedly, achingly, terrifyingly consumed.
"I wish I could hate you.” Hector says.
Orion’s cuffs are white as reaches into Hector’s chest and pulls out his thumping heart.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.”
“It’s alright.” Hiran says. “I’m here now.”
What would it have been like? 2017, art exhibits in Milan and Florence, drinking coffee on the street, meeting strangers in high-rise buildings and following them home with kisses on his wrists and wine stains on his mouth.
Any life but this, artist, engineer, teacher, buying cat-food at the supermarket, looking at recipes on google and trying to bake three-tier raspberry cakes. Filling his life with things he wanted, things he liked.
He is curled up on the floor, trying to get rid of the hole inside his chest.
“What’s wrong?” Hiran asks. 
Hector’s voice dies to silence. His tongue is heavy. Under the clammy muscle the words have stuck like a communion wafer, tasteless and stale. The first time he had eaten one it had stayed there until he pursed his lips and took a sip of tepid grape juice, felt the dry flake dissolve into salvation.
He doesn’t have any water now. Not even grape juice.
He should say something. He can think of all the things he wants to say.
Like a poem, all his words have formed in his thoughts. He remembers a phrase from somewhere, a half-remembered sonnet, a quote from a book of poetry-
We carry the lives we might have lived.
I feel as Sisyphus does. I cannot help this absurdity.
Would you forgive me if I left you?
“It’s cold,” Hector says, and then, “I was thinking there’s no heat in space.”

Short story about Murdoch
While I wait (and, lets be honest, hope) for writers to help me out on my radio show, Im working on short stories in the Swiftlet Basin universe. So, here’s a half-finished piece!
The prosperity and wonder of the 1920’s hadn’t touched Swiftlet Basin much. Sure, there were the newer citizens, still green, and slightly out of touch with the rest. You could see them as they walked down Main Street: face in a newspaper, shuffling, shoulders hunched against an invisible burden. Despite this, the town was mostly unmarked by the success and wealth and opulence that had afflicted most of the nation.
Then Walter Murdoch arrived.
His car sped down the pass, switching back and forth on the winding road; the engine’s roar rose and fell in pitch with every change in gear. The cacophonous thunder echoed in every gully, every peak reverberated the animal sound of the large engine. The dark red Coupe blurred past the schools and churches, whose occupant’s movements were sluggish by comparison. It careened, screeching, through the roundabout, before being fired up into the hills, which held a parcel of land purchased over a decade ago for the Judge-turned-politician, the Honorable Jacob C. Murdoch.
The maroon Coupe finally ended it’s violent run at the end of the gravel drive that led deep into the trees; this driveway was somewhat misnamed, because it led to no house. Instead, it led to the tract of land carved from the green forest by the Judge. Nothing stood on this land, save the sagging metal fencing that formed the perimeter of the acre that made up the plot. Nothing had been planned, and it had become a regular rumor that “the fenced patch up Miller Hills was supposed to be an asylum, but all the patients escaped before anything was built,” and that “The man planning on building the asylum was experimenting on his patients, and one escaped and killed him.” Sadly, the true story is much less exciting, at least to the children who spread those stories.
The story that, to my knowledge, is the closest to reality as we are likely to know is as follows: the Judge, while he was a senator, was given the parcel of land by a former employer, as a birthday present. This happened to fall at the same time as an important vote on business regulation was making its way through the Legislature. The employer, Basilium Motors, denied that the gift was in any way related to the bill that would have held manufacturers accountable for injuries to “body and spirit,” which is to say that the corporation would have to give more protection to its employees, and be responsible if they were injured or killed while on strike. The so-called “Body and Spirit” bill passed the House, but was killed in the Senate by a very slim margin. In a famous open letter, an anonymous senator was quoted to say “…the state of the union, if put to the stipulations of this bill, would become a state of unions. The worker asks far too much in this bill; if passed, it would swiftly tear down the wondrous corporations that drive our economy, and send us into a depression here-unto unseen.”
Walter stepped from the Coupe, looking at the towering pines that filled the grove. His white shirt was rolled up to the elbows, with his gray tie laying discarded on the passenger seat. Beneath the tie was his charcoal coat, folded neatly as his father’s oft-spoken maxim “Fold lines tell more than pressed, and better than wrinkles.” Walter’s hands gripped the roof of his car as he stretched, letting a groan ring out in the clearing. Once this post-drive ritual was complete, he strolled to the trunk, hands sliding into the pockets of his gray trousers. As the heavy lid pivoted up, the familiar scent of his uncle’s study filled his nostrils, and he closed his eyes closed. Shaking the memories from his mind, he gripped the leather roll containing all of his tools; he slung the strap over his shoulder, and trudged to the center of the clearing.
The land Walter stood on was mostly flat, with large pines erupting from the soft, warm-brown earth. As he oscillated, his eye and mind turned and worked, plotting the houses and mansions he could build. Once this preliminary pass was finished, he scaled the large rock that stood in the center of the clearing; it was the only break in otherwise level ground. As Walter sat on this perch, he thought on what he would build. A castle? A palace? No, a cabin; it fit the milieu, and the visual he imagined himself living in.
As he sat, pondering dimensions, a young woman padded along the forest floor. Her bushy hair rippled bounced, as if in water, as she crept closer to the thinking man. He spun, looking in her direction, but she was gone, leaving only honey-painted that eyes shone with a mischief, but also a maturity and wisdom her face did not match. The man on the rock was odd, in her mind; he was not like most. No, he certainly was not: he thought. Not of himself, or of the effect of others on his life; no, his mind raced with thoughts of stories, of dreams, of ideas. He wasn’t obsessed with himself, nor was he fearful of others thinking about him. He was… he was a thinker, a writer, an artist. This valley had not seen an artist in centuries. Art was considered childish, or wasteful; “why waste your time creating when you should be out working” seemed to be the consensus.
As Walter sat on his perch, he watched the world with renewed intrigue. Birds soared high above him, and he could hear the call of distant deer. Somewhere, a creek bubbled down rocks and logs. And so he began to write; poetry dripped from his pencil in thick strokes, and the sights and sounds and smells and textures all clambered into the notebook in his lap. So engrossed in his writing, he hardly noticed the trunk of his Coupe pivot up.
