    Hello Cryptonites! Think of this as a small palate cleanser (or amuse-bouche) while I finish editing L.A. Lewis's "Animate in Death". It's a small but perfectly formed story by the marvellous Josephine Tey and I very much enjoyed reading it.

      The story was great. I've never heard it and enjoyed it thoroughly. I also loved the face in the windows. Thank you so much Mr L'eStrange.

      Lol just had a bizarre and non-sequitur flashback to my best friend, Hansel's father- Dr Fleischner, denouncing us for having "uneducated palettes" (his outraged inflection made it all the more deliciously hilarious)- I believe it was for the grave and unforgivable offense of somehow not loving some (no doubt exquisitely mouth watering, unbeknownst to our Ignant taste buds) reconstituted dehydrated wheatsghetti in the midst of our 5 day 80 mile up Mt Whitney - the highest point in the Western Continental United States. Lol, thanks for helping to "educate" all of our collective palates, Jasper. And speaking non sequituREALLY of "exquisite" morsels- as Wilkie Collins said (paraphrasing from ... memory) in one of his shorts: "Of all the wonderful senses that help remind us that we are immortal- which is more exquisite than memory?"- so thank you for helping to remind me, as well.
      Cheers, brother

      Jasper- I did a Biden and Plagerwrote a poeHYMN for my gf-
      Photojournalist:
      As TF IFF.... What, do you think?
      That we're like "evenly matched" or somehing, dude?
      SHE' n' I?
      Hahaha!!!!!!!!
      You sound - (holy fuck - she just said that to ME- but YOU? You sound crazy right now, man...
      Hey, man, you just don't -- you don't talk to the Colonel, man. You thought "cumslut" was some lever of CONTROL, man? Yeah well, it IS, but not YOUR control- not OURS- hAH!!!
      No, man. Hey; YOU? You LISTEN tO her, man.
      Sometimes you listen for fkn YEARs thinkin "yeah, we really get tf A LOOONG- she n' I" --
      you know what i'm sayin?
      but oh, no you fkn dont- cuz ur talking talkin talking yet somehow you missed it- she said "i'm through", and you thought she meant with THAT convo? . The woman's en LARGER my miiiiiind, man.
      She's a poet-warrior-whore, in the CLASSIC sense.
      I mean - you think she's YOUR sub? right then you find tfo she wants to put your fkn cock in a CAGE, man.
      she wants to don Hermes winged stripper heels and trot across your fkn balls like icharus- writing her fkn name in the flaming napalm of forever pain across the fkn SKY, man.
      sometimes she'll, uh, well, you'll say hello to her, right? And she'll just walk right TFON BY you, man, I mean she won't even notice she didn't notice you, cuz you arent even on the same fkn PLANE, let alone sharing the same airspace or ATC.
      THEN, like mothetfuckin suddenly all of a sudden, she'll fkn just like GRAB you, dude- and she'll fkn whip you around like some little fkn npc, n chuck you tf into a a motherfuckin CORNER, man, and only THEN will you finally see that literally NO ONE, and I mean ANYWHERE is in YOUR fkn little "corner", man.::.
      And you know tf what?
      That's when she'll finally notice you and she'll say - hey YOU, MONSTER!!! That's right, who tf else is here BESIDES "you", you disgusting old man?
      it’s when you realize she's seeing you for the first time, man, when you stop being butthurt cus you thought you were ENTITLED to sex love and understanding from the Colonel-
      nope nuh uh- she’ll grab you by your balding little pate and rip your face tfo of your lil bitch ego's fee fees, force you to look into those eyes of here, what's that? you thought they were GREEN??? HA, ohhhhhh nooo- I mean so tf did iiii dude, but n-n-- NO. she's got BLACK eyes - like a DOLLS eyes-
      and THEN?
      oh Christ, but I’m a LEEEEEDLE man, a SELFISH man- but she’ll peer into your worthless soul with merely a fading ripple of green suddenly your IN it man- the darkest fkn orimordial waters-- n then....
      and then....
      she’ll ask you in such a familiar voice - so - so- quietly you’ll think your talking to yourself to keep from PISSING yourself as you'd changed your mind and don’t WANT her to notice the insignificant p.o.s. you truly are- and she’ll ask, in your.own voice :
      do you know that if is the middle word in life?
      IFF!!!! you can keep your HEAD, when ALL about you are LOSING "theirs" and BLAMING it on YOU,
      IFF you can "trust" yourself when ALL men DOUBT you - I mean WHY? cuz SHE doesn't doubt you, she KMOWS never to care about wether you trust her- let alone wants YOUR worthless need for HER "trust"-
      HAHAHAHA!
      I mean, I did the DISHES the other day for her man, but you know what iiiiiiii failed to fkn REAAAAALIZE, man?
      I failed to fkn REALIZE that how DARE i think i could do the dishes for her then leave a single coffee cup of mine ANYfknWHERE, duuuuude???
      I mean, holy fkn- I mean, ummm- I'm no, I can't - I'm a little man, I'm a little man, she's... she's? SHE is a GREAT man - she said "You think you "know"?
      and i knew and prayed- i PRAYED she wouldn't state the obvious - but she made it clear
      she said
      YOU. Can. NEVER. FKG. KNOW.
      Me? I- I'd never even fkn DARE to breath if i could - Elliot's insane cuz after she was through with him he thought "I'm tfo. I'm a fkn pair of ragged claws draggin the ribbons of what she left of my now worthless balls, scuttling TF across floors of the dead ocean of my sperm she rejected"
      Why? Cuz he thought she wouldn't
      NO
      T
      I
      C
      E
      him, man.
      I don't want any of it man. I don’t want my heart to beat my food to digest, breath
      and y know tf what? my parasympathetic nervous system said 10-4, let's RTB tf O of her way before she remembers us - even half a world away - we are g.o.to. her so embrace it.
      But, GOD!
      Fuck YEAH, dude.
      She's a REAL man- she KNOWS

    "The difference between a pleased blush and an uncomfortable flush"- and her "Mary Harkin's face bore the expression of one who sees a step just in time" - Ah! I loved it (not to be TOO alike Liebeth AND Deb). Had to listen twice as that story was just as pert and prim as her description of the cottage before we knew it was off, all without the cottage's drawback- or perhaps, just the opposite- precisely because of it? Perfect.

      Sounds lovely 😊 my lawn in springtime is a flowering clover field buzzing with the drowsy sound of busy bees, floating with butterflies and edged in lemon trees brimming with birdsong - I’ll have to try your trick of adding it to a bubbling brew, now! Perhaps with elderberry flowers instead of ginger… Dreamy. My grandfather had many bee boxes here, though, I have to rely on other local sources for clover and orange blossom honey 🌼 Cheers for the idea

      @@BrosephaI try and do a mix here. Other listeners prefer the longer ones, some would prefer even longer. In terms of my workload anything that ends up around 25-40 mins is the sweet spot. Others might prefer shorter stories, but there aren't many really short ones like this, and I think those who use my stuff to fall asleep to obviously prefer longer stories. But, ultimately, my story selection is driven by what I'm reading when looking for stories.
