An old lady is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch, reflecting on her long life, when -- all of a sudden -- a fairy appears in front of her and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.
"Well, now," says the old lady, "I guess I would like to be really rich."
*** POOF *** Her rocking chair turns to solid gold.
"And, gee, I guess I wouldn't mind being a young, beautiful princess."
*** POOF *** She turns into a beautiful young woman.
"Your third wish?" asked the fairy. Just then the old woman's cat wanders across the porch in front of them.
"Ooh -- can you change him into a handsome prince?" she asks.
*** POOF *** There before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine.
She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear:
So... how is the Roswell/UFO thing coming along? I'm watching Civil War stuff on The History Channel... I wonder... what if Robert E. Lee had an army of zombies at Gettysburg?
Man, badass zombies--that'd give a different outcome of the war, though. Not sure I like that scenario, but then perhaps the zombie race would be the new slave race like in "Fido." I'm watching a UFO thingie on Green Planet channel. Cool stuff. I love conspiracy shit. It entertains me to no end.
Speaking of Robert E. Lee and zombies... there's a story in the "Essential Tomb of Dracula, vol. 4" where Dracula provides the Confederacy with some vampire shock troops. Not the best story in book, despite some great Gene Colan part.
That said... just popping in for a quick 'hello' before hitting the keyboard again! I've filled my plate with many projects, hoping one or more will end up being a little profitable. :)
Yeah... I want to be read by the masses again, too! :D
(And if anyone reading this feels like they could write slightly off-kilter short story mysteries and/or cosy-style mysteries starring a turn-of-the-century girl detective with a slightly prissy attitude, feel free to email me for details. Can't promise money at this point, but I can promise eBook publication. :)
I'm hanging out, watching Roswell/UFO shows on Green Planet. I'm such a dork!
ReplyDeleteWhen did you grow wings?
ReplyDeleteAll angels have them, dear.
ReplyDeleteAngels have butterfly wings? I was thinking more along the lines of feathers for the good ones and bat wings for the evil angels.
ReplyDeleteI'm a earthy angel. Remember, I'm Autumnforest

Steve, you gotta let me know about it. I'm excited! You're a very talented writer, you need to be read by the masses!
ReplyDeleteYeah... I want to be read by the masses again, too! :D
