Songs That the Hyades Did Sing
Killer-Kate and Luke Lackland: 370 words. Hero-Father's had enough. It's not going to be enough.
Valentine's Night spent on Darkover as written by Anne McCaffrey and Mercedes Lackey. Fianna Fáil won the civil war there, and I was obliged to spend certain hours with the survivors of my platoon digging ditches Down Under, before repairing to the pub for some well-earned amber nectar. We scored some famous victories on the Trivial Pursuit machine, but the dragons never came back for us, and Carcosa was still lost to us when Pertelote my talkative Vietnamese alarm clock woke me up to a working London morning.
Pertelote is real and wonderful, but the rest was born of sleep and the Old Speckled Hen.
