"The rockets set
the bony meadows afire, turned rock to lava, turned wood to charcoal,
transmitted water to steam, made sand and silica into green glass which lay
like shattered mirrors reflecting the invasion, all about. ...And from the
rockets ran men with hammers in their hands to beat the strange world into a
shape that was familiar to the eye, to bludgeon away all the strangeness..."
(Ray Bradbury: The
Martian Chronicles, The Locusts)
The current round of "A Tattered Page" is dedicated to Ray Bradbury and his masterpiece collection
of short stories, The Martian Chronicles. I was a teenager when I first
borrowed the book from our local library... and I've been re-reading the
melancholic and deep stories again and again, ever since that day... and rather
often I am not at all proud that I belong to the barbaric human race.

K" by Fallen Gods Inc. - 990 L$; the package contains the skin, a shape, a

The picture was taken
at LEA10, where Whiskey Monday is currently building her ever-changing project,
aptly called "Nothing Endures But Change". Very gently she also left
a pose stand there, crammed with many gracious poses by Flowey; I took the
occasion and picked "All I need" for my snapshot.
