I'm a writer, mostly of speculative fiction, living in rural Tasmania. I've got a rural GP wife and three small kids, and I keep a running commentary of life here so that when my kids are old enough to give a shit, they can read up and discover who their parents used to be. I tried doing this on paper, but I sucked at it. So I tried doing it online with an audience. It worked. May contain adult language and concepts. Deal with it.
Fools indeed. Did you see the picture of the 'beach' they are diving? They should be exploring the not so lost cities of Acapulco, Phuket and Ibiza.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry. The cultists will get them soon enough and hopefully the next lot of grad-students will have more sense.
I thought that Dunwich was on the other side of the water - near Innsmouth...
ReplyDeleteI think I read somewhere that it was a Miskatonic University project?
The lead diver has a surname of Bacon. Mmm, diver Bacon. The Fool!
ReplyDeleteGuru Bob: of course you've been led to believe that "that Dunwich" was on the other side of the water. You think Lovecraft was stupid enough to risk the wrath of Those Below?
ReplyDeleteMister Jay is right, however. I hear there's some great undersea "ruins" near Bimini. Warm, lots of women in bikinis, plenty of rum, and not a bulgy-eyed, thick-necked Whateley to be seen.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie"
ReplyDeleteand this only goes back to the middle ages.
You could put the entire Swedish Bikini Team on that "beach," flashing me constantly, as I sat on a million dollar yacht anchored just offshore, and that would still be the most depressing beach I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteOnly sorrow will come from this...
