Clothes Peg

Yesterday, I put on a clean, fresh jumper so I could head out to the shops to go and get some food. Mum joined me. We went out, had a laugh, did the shop and came home. As ordinary as they come.

This morning, I picked the jumper off the bed and found something attached to it.

A clothes peg.

A wooden clothes peg, attached to the middle of the small of the back. It had been there since Mum put the thing up on the shelf, a week ago.

So while I was minding my own business, enjoying a bit of shopping, there was a clothes peg stuck to my jumper, under the coat.

You can laugh ...

I'd like to throw this out to my f'list. Those of you out there still reading my stuff. What silly, dumb, simple thing has happened to you that, now you can look back on it, just makes you laugh out loud, but it would have felt like the world had come to an end while it was happening?

Stuff like a line of toilet paper still stuck to the heel of your shoe, visible knickers, a label still clinging to your clothes fresh from the store?

Go on. :)

Feedback

Part of an email I received from someone who has read some of the material I've written and published to date.

I enjoyed the stories very much ...

In terms of a work of ... fiction I can commend you, they were very well written; it's clear to see that you write for a living rather than the dreadful epithets you come across ... where the author seems barely literate!

I also received the following feedback to a post I made earlier:-

"Just keep writing. There are those of us out here who support you."

I feel chuffed. It spurs me to keep on writing.

"Creations - Made to Serve" for the Legend Roleplaying Game

The first draft of my latest article for the Legend Fantasy Roleplaying Game has just gone live on 4shared:-

Creations: Made to Serve

It covers the following:-

- Familiars, taking on a number of different forms;

- Homunculi, products of alchemy;

- Animates, clockwork and mechanical creations animated by simple spells;

- Golems, more sophisticated animates which have self-awareness;

- Galateas, products of Divine Magic;

- Creatures, pitiful wretches made from body parts, born on a cold laboratory slab.

Everything you need to have these creations in your game, all told with the unique vision of the author, Alex Greene. Me.
