staring with beady eyes

Day : busy. Work.

Evening : busy. Going through plots for Ambercon UK scenarios which are being playtested this weekend. Designing player handouts. Writing really weird out of left field fanfic in spare time. But feel much better now.

Night : I believe sleep is on the schedule.

Sit

Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.
You're twenty-six, and still have some of life ahead.
No need for wit; just talk vacuities, and I'll
Reciprocate in kind, or laugh at you instead.

The world is too opaque, distressing and profound.
This twenty minutes' rendezvous will make my day:
To sit here in the sun, with grackles all around,
Staring with beady eyes, and you two feet away.

-- Vikram Seth

Thank you very much for "Punishment". Loved seeing Gyokumen and liked your take on what might have happened. Would love to see a sequel if you ever have the time or inclination....

Glad you liked it. I have no immediate ideas/plans for a sequel, but it could be interesting if Gyokumen does ever come back to investigate, or calls in the debt that she might claim he owes her. :)
