A short story!

He’s a miserable sod. His current obsession conerns the dreadful goings on in the underworld.

He claims he heard screams, then followed the desolate voices until he came upon a spiral staircase littered with bones leading down into a pit which resembled a devil’s temple.

Oh, the tales of woe he weaves.

There is so much to celebrate in this world. Sparks of joy not the dakness of doom. Reality not fantasy! Fairies, unicorns, magic, choirs of angels, ice cream! I’m right, aren’t I?

Oh, I just heard screams. I’ll let him follow them! Coffee anyone?

    There is much to focus on in the good of this world, so true, Keith. I love your artwork, too.

    I like the whimsy, I prefer My Fair Lady or the Sound of Music to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
