The Calm


The Gathering last night seemed to pass without incident. I wasn’t awakened by any screaming banshee or howling wolf, I’m very pleased to say. And it looks as though those who gathered have tidied up after themselves as well. You wouldn’t realise that such a gathering had actually occurred. Not all Saturday nights are like that!

All is calm and quiet this Sunday morning.

The skies are clear and blue in parts, and grey clouds are scattered randomly in others. However, the sun is shining brightly. It is a perfect day for taking things easy.

It’s a very good thing, then, that I have nothing planned for today, apart from the usual trip to the shops. Hopefully that will be as calm an experience as this morning is. Once that is done, it will be time to sit back and let the minutes pass by themselves.

Er… slowly, of course!

    seemingly sloooowly goes the hour, the minutes look after themselves, before we know the mornings past,….. a thousand drats on those time guzzling Elves… or so I believe Sir Aquatom…but then I am considered strange about these parts.. any parts really…hereabouts, thereabouts and anywhere abouts… 😉 right, they cleaned up then? the Gathering?.. considerate lot of monsters, methinks they should be welcomed again with open arms, ‘cos have you seen the mess we humans leave?… positively disgusting … xx…

      Even more considerate, Pen, considering they let me sleep! Considerate monsters make a nice change, don’t you think?
      Ooh, I think I’ve controlled time today… I seem to have had loads of it!

    I think that perhaps a nice Sexy Maiden or Nymph could
    help out with the shopping, maybe even throw in a few of
    those extras as you ponder what she is thinking 🙂

    Of course as she rips at your vitals the realisation will flood
    your senses, and the Gathering that you missed out on will
    be very much in your favour as she then starts to…

    Aquatom, Aquatom… Wake up Aquatom it is just a dream 🙂 lol

    So glad the Saturday night was uneventful, Tom 🙂 And Sunday sounds serene too. Hope the pause is a fruitful one…

      Thanks, Kate, it was very pleasant! Monday, work, I’d describe as comfortable rather than pleasant, but the little weekend break did me good!

    No Monsters under the bed poking you even? Oh that is a very poltie gathering indeed! Perhaps a thank you note would be appreciated. They will love these kind words you speak of them.
    Did you know? The Skellies over in the Goth Realm frequent the flower garden next to the graveyard…they are quite nice and barely eat a gram. Not so bad as been told in some tales…

      Hi Raven. They were very well behaved! A thank you note you say… I may just do that!
      I don’t think the Skellies were at the Gathering – if they were, I didn’t see them. I’ll look out in case they attend the next one! 🙂
