Halloween: It had to happen!


The final Inner Being to escape through the rift was going to be obvious. Of course it had to be, and was, my Inner Zombie. No prizes for guessing that he’d be involved somewhere.

Actually looking quite dapper, for a change, he joins Thomasina (my Inner Woman) Fingers (or Fangers as he wants to be called this month, my Inner Typist) and two apparent newcomers, my Inner Bogeyman (who’s vegetarian) and my Inner Creation (a camera-shy synthetic green (that’s synthetic and green, not a synthetic man-made green) monster with a large bolt on his temple holding his eye in place).

It’s also obvious why the monsters should want to escape; they want to go and join the Gathering that takes place in the Grinds, and this year it’s due sometime this month, although I’m not entirely certain when. All sorts of creatures gather in the Grinds for a party… it’s best not to think about it.

I’m unsure why Thomasina and Fingers – sorry, Fangers – would want to go. Fangers doesn’t even have a ‘body’, and I wouldn’t have thought it being Thomasina’s thing, what with her being stunningly beautiful (to the extent of Aphrodite’s standards) and all that jazz. But, each to their own, I suppose.

I’ll keep them out for a while. It’ll be nice and quiet inside my head for a while at least, what with there remaining only my Inner Geek, Tomanova (my Inner Romantic), Inner Beekeeper, Inner Superhero and Inner Leader of the Opposition remaining (although I’m sure there are others, one forgets… plus my Inner Mind is a vast and mostly unexplored place and these Inner Beings pop up on a regular basis anyway. It may not be as quiet as I’m hoping for, thinking about it). We’ll see.

A part of me is thinking they’ve planned this escape. It seems a little too convenient. I’m sure we’ll find out what they’re up to during October. For now though, it’s ‘business’ as usual, and on with the blog!

      I’m used to it now, VK. It’s a big crowd to start off with, so one more doesn’t really make a difference…

    I got a phone call off the Air Traffic Control people.

    I let my mind wander earlier and it was showing up on radar… 😉

    God Bless!

      It’s terrible when that happens, Prenin. My head’s up there quite a lot of the time!

    He’s looking dapper indeed! Arms firmly attached to body; both eyes; both ears… maybe he’s spruced himself up to get ready for a hot date on the 31st.

      I suppose anything’s possible, Diane. I don’t know what’s come over him… he never looks like that!

    You don’t think you have an inner tyre or conviction, or find your inner tizzy? I imagine that you have lost your inner cents completely …
    btw – a comment from you flashed up mysteriously a couple of times but now seems to have vanished without trace. Weird.

      I think I have all of the above somewhere, Col. Where exactly, I know not.
      And yes, I’d written a reply to your hear, hear post, which had lots of hears and heres in it, when suddenly and catastrophically I found myself in the centre of a glitch when I tried to submit. I clicked the back button, and my reply was still there, so I submitted it again, and it appeared to go through OK. In my ‘comments you’ve made’ section on the admin page, the comments to your post are there, but mine isn’t. I blame Mercury Retrograde for this. I haven’t been catapulted into your spam folder, have I? That’s happened to me before…

        Good news and bad: your response had not gone to spam. Actually, I had to dig it out of trash. Don’t worry, I have scraped off last week’s kipper and stuff, and it is as good as new.

          Well, that’s a relief, Col. Sorry for the extra work there… I’m still blaming Mercury Retrograde. More things like this will happen over the next few days, you mark my words…
