Lately, I've been complaining about the rain:

Yesterday, Sunday the 11th, 2.03 inches was measured at Pittsburgh International Airport that broke the 1930 record of 1,93 inches.

Yesterday, I went to see The Reduced Shakespeare Company production of "the Long Lost First Play of William Shakespeare (abridged)."

It has several hundred scenes and takes 100 hours to perform - or so they said. (abridged)

And it require a cast of hundreds but only three of them performed onstage. The rest went to eat at abridged...

Synopsis: Dromio and Ariel (not the little mermaid) are twins who hijack the Comedy of Errors (more or less, reduced, and abridged).

It always begins with a voyage.

I'm in the mood to write a horror story:

"They call it a vampire death sentence. Not the worst bloody thing I've ever seen, but Sanders, well, I think it was the hanging genitals that got to him. That boy must love his man parts. Me, I've castrated so many pigs and steers and lambs that the thought of having someone yank your scrote out and slash it away with a knife don’t matters. Just have a sure hand and fast slice with a sharp knife and them things is prairie oysters for breakfast. Real good too when they are fried in butter with some onions. Now some consider that Bacon fat is better. They are the food of the gods. It don't make no difference what they was before when you're fryin' em now. I told him so. That was when he lost it. Never did stop heaving after that.”

I had a thought today:

“I knew a man who gave twenty years of his life to a scatterbrained woman, sacrificing everything to her, his friendships, his work, the very respectability of his life and who one evening recognized that he had never loved her. He had been bored, thats all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen even loveless slavery, even war or death.”

― Albert Camus

This is so dark for you, Dave. I think my junk just shifted a little in my boxers when I read this.

Existentialism is a little bleak. The Myth of Sisyphus is absurdist philosophy. Absurdity is bleak.

I'm writing a horror story about vampires and it has a main character who is quite dark.

Ok then, I gotcha. Any chance your vampire character would want to drink in abundance and suck the blood of a prime hung capable stud right from his main artery?!

Not this story. I'll keep that in mind for a future story.

I did post "I Spado" and "The Other Boy's Club." Both have castration themes - - - - http://fragments.ws

Great stories. I like that you used a champion swimmer as your young hero in The Other Boy's Club:

Glad I didn't know Brant during my swimming days.

thanks ...

I would have benefitted knowing Brant back then when I was young
